What to do with the Lesson files once you’ve downloaded them The files are compressed into Zip archives to speed up download time and to protect the contents from damage during transfer. You must uncompress (or “unzip”) the files to restore them to their original size and format before you use them with the book. Modern Mac and Windows systems are set up to open Zip archives by simply double-clicking. After unzipping the files, create a new folder named “Lessons” in a convenient location on your computer. • If you’re running Windows, right-click and choose New > Folder. Then enter the new name for your folder. • If you’re using Mac OS, in the Finder, choose File > New Folder. Type the new name and drag the folder to the location you want to use. Drag the unzipped Lessons folders (Lesson01, Lesson02, etc.) to your new “Lessons” folder. When you begin each lesson, navigate to the folder with that lesson number to access all the assets you need to complete the lesson. Important! The lesson files are provided solely for your personal use. You are not authorized to use these files commercially, or to publish or distribute them in any form without written permission from Adobe Systems.
