3 Main Ways to Open a File in Photoshop:

• Go to the “File” Menu -> “File” -> “Open …” – choose your file, and press “Open” in the Dialog Box.

• Double-click on the Workspace background to bring up the “Open …” Dialog Box.

• On a Mac: Create a Photoshop Icon in your Dock, then drag your desired file to it.

On a PC: Create a Photoshop Shortcut on your Desktop, then drag your desired file to it.

2 Ways to Duplicate a File:

• In Photoshop: Go to the “Image” Menu -> “Duplicate …” and choose your desired filename.

• On a Mac: Right-mouse click on your file, then choose “Duplicate” from the menu.

On a PC: Right-mouse click on your file, and choose “Copy” from the menu – then Right-mouse click anywhere, and choose “Paste” from the menu – your duplicated file will show up in the same general area / file location as your original, with the word “copy” included in the filename.

Rename a File:

• The best way to rename a file is NOT in Photoshop, but in your computer’s operating system.

• For both Mac and PC, simply right-mouse click on your file, choose “Rename” from the menu, and type in your new filename.
