Appendix D. Photoshop Menu by Menu
Like most programs, Photoshop groups all its commands into menus. On a Mac, Photoshop’s menus appear at the top of your screen in the OS X menu bar, and on a PC they live in the Photoshop’s Application bar. Strap yourself in and hold on tight for a warp-speed tour of Photoshop’s menus!
Photoshop
This menu, which appears only in the Mac version of Photoshop, includes items like information about the program, preferences, and the Quit command.
Note
On a PC, you can find the items in this menu in the File, Edit, and Help menus instead.

This option shows info about all the different plug-ins installed in Photoshop, both the plug-ins that shipped with the program and any custom goodies you may have added.
Preferences
You can check out Photoshop’s preference settings by choosing this option (see Revert Command in Chapter 1). On a PC, go to Edit → Preferences instead.

Mac OS X includes a feature called Services that lets you do things like look up a word in the dictionary, send a chunk of text as an email message, summarize a passage of text, and so on.
