Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:04,770
All right welcome back hopefully you've been able to get some photos of yourself or download the resources
2
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:06,520
to follow along here.
3
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:12,630
I thought I would point out a quake Here's a couple Photoshop fails you can google Photoshop fails and
4
00:00:12,630 --> 00:00:17,030
find all kinds of crazy things but I thought I'd point these two things out to you.
5
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:20,850
One of which we look at this obviously is not lifting this much weight.
6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,540
It could be believable but if we look into the mirror obviously it's been Photoshopped.
7
00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:31,440
And what about here we with this extra hand hanging out on the shoulder here we've obviously cloned
8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,770
out somebody sitting next to her but we forgot about the hand.
9
00:00:35,010 --> 00:00:41,190
So as we work through this section about Photoshop compositing make sure you pay attention to the details
10
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:41,500
.
11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,540
And one of the details in one of the skill sets that will help you master this section is your selections
12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,900
so to get started.
13
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:55,920
Go ahead and grab that photo of yourself and I'm going to just open this random photo I downloaded or
14
00:00:55,950 --> 00:01:00,060
do a couple of these photos here that I can show you a couple of different selection methods.
15
00:01:00,090 --> 00:01:02,970
So depending on the image you're working with.
16
00:01:02,970 --> 00:01:06,630
You may or may not have the perfect photo to work with.
17
00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:13,020
So here's an example of a couple of different tools we can use going to do is I'm going to zoom in real
18
00:01:13,020 --> 00:01:18,480
quick on the command and space it's a shortcut I could click on the zoom tool and my tools over here
19
00:01:18,510 --> 00:01:24,420
but I like to work with my move to a selected space part of my hand tool if I need to move around in
20
00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:29,970
the image or hold on spacebar and command to get my zoom to sort of do.
21
00:01:29,970 --> 00:01:34,300
Now is the letter W to get my brush my quick selection too.
22
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:36,690
It's kind of like a brush and a magic wand at the same time.
23
00:01:36,690 --> 00:01:42,480
So this is a great tool if I wanted to quickly brush out and you'll see with an image like this it's
24
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,920
basically being gift wrapped to me it's such a high contrast between the background and the foreground
25
00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:48,960
that I almost didn't have to do anything.
26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,410
So with this magic wand selected here we've got these ants marching around here this marquee.
27
00:01:55,410 --> 00:02:00,960
If I click on the background layer and hit command J it will jump cut it to a new layer here.
28
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,670
Now I can hold the command key and click on this new layer icon to put a layer below.
29
00:02:06,090 --> 00:02:09,340
If I just click on the new layer icon it'll put a new layer above.
30
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:18,060
So I want a new layer below with my default swatches set over here a minute hit command delete make
31
00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:22,410
sure I'm on layer to here that blank layer command delete will fill with whatever is in your background
32
00:02:22,410 --> 00:02:27,900
color so I can see I've got him cut out here on his own layer which is fine that works great.
33
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:34,290
I'm going to double click on this library image I have over here for this background and I could easily
34
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:40,420
drag and drop him at a click with my move tool drag up towards tab hold for a second come back down
35
00:02:40,430 --> 00:02:40,640
.
36
00:02:40,950 --> 00:02:45,240
And all of a sudden I've got him in the same photo command T to get my free transform tool and I'll
37
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,380
drag him up a little bit so you can see I've got this asset that I could work with.
38
00:02:49,410 --> 00:02:52,380
Obviously the selection as we bring it in here it's not that great.
39
00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:57,060
It did miss quite a bit of the details it's got this glow around it and wouldn't work out.
40
00:02:57,060 --> 00:02:58,600
So I'm going to delete that layer.
41
00:02:58,890 --> 00:03:02,090
But I did want to show you these two layers too.
42
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:06,950
I didn't want to show you that with this brush tool we can make a quick selection the magic wand tools
43
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,760
another one like that as well where I can click once and it'll select similar colors.
44
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,080
A better example of that would be on this shorts model.
45
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:19,650
So if I click once over here in the gray background it selects right I've my tolerance it's 20.
46
00:03:19,650 --> 00:03:24,660
So about a threshold of 20 gets pretty close.
47
00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:30,810
If I put this up to say 50 it'll grab a lot more of those details and then I can hold down the Shift
48
00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:34,140
key to add to that selection.
49
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:37,890
But you'll see real quick it starts to bleed in and grab a lot more than I wanted to.
50
00:03:37,890 --> 00:03:42,350
So if I put this tolerance back down to about 20 I commanded a de-select.
51
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,830
Now I'm going to click once.
52
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:48,500
Shift click again and just keep shift clicking until I get most of the selections I wanted to.
53
00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:50,280
So there's a lot of ways to work with selections.
54
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,860
I don't have to come in and try and select the model I can select around everything else then come up
55
00:03:55,860 --> 00:04:02,130
to select Inv. and now I've got the inverse selection so if I back it out now it's just selecting him
56
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,910
with that layer selected I'll hit command J the jump cut him to his own layer click and drag up back
57
00:04:08,910 --> 00:04:13,590
to that industrial factory photo and then we've got him put in there and you know we can work with this
58
00:04:13,590 --> 00:04:14,900
and make it somewhat believable.
59
00:04:14,910 --> 00:04:16,290
But again take a look here.
60
00:04:16,290 --> 00:04:19,070
We didn't clip out between his legs or between his hand.
61
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,160
So if somebody was really paying attention they would notice those things especially like the detail
62
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,620
around the hair we miss some things especially in the dark background so let's try again.
63
00:04:28,620 --> 00:04:32,640
Let's come back over here to the selection tool or to the side of this image here.
64
00:04:32,650 --> 00:04:34,680
We'll use a different selection tool.
65
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:37,830
Another option we have would be like the lasso tools with the letter L.
66
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:44,280
There's a few different lassos we can use the regular Lasso tool is just that we can draw with our mouse
67
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:47,370
to make the selection and this can be really tough to get a perfect selection.
68
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:49,410
But if I wanted to I could zoom in.
69
00:04:49,410 --> 00:04:54,840
Hold down the Shift key and add to the selection or hold on the Alt key to remove from the selection
70
00:04:55,230 --> 00:04:59,700
and just work it back and forth until I get it you know pretty close to what I want it to be.
71
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:03,810
This would obviously take a lot of time but depending on what you're selecting sometimes that's a good
72
00:05:03,810 --> 00:05:05,540
way to work.
73
00:05:05,610 --> 00:05:13,010
I'm going to de-select that we have the polygon Lasso tool which is a nice quick way to get straight
74
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:16,100
selections sometimes that works great for what you need to do.
75
00:05:16,110 --> 00:05:17,770
So I make quick selections here.
76
00:05:17,790 --> 00:05:23,520
DoubleClick when I'm done and it closes that off I commanded to de-select and then the magnetic lasso
77
00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:23,590
.
78
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:28,110
Well that's another good one where if you have a high contrast image here if I just start directing
79
00:05:28,110 --> 00:05:33,770
right here and I kind of get it close and I can click along the way where I want it to stick.
80
00:05:33,930 --> 00:05:35,180
It's kind of a sticky selection.
81
00:05:35,190 --> 00:05:40,590
So even if I wander out just a little bit still What's a snap back to that high contrast area.
82
00:05:40,580 --> 00:05:42,830
So that might be a good way to work.
83
00:05:42,830 --> 00:05:44,540
But let me show you the way that I like to work.
84
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,390
Here's the deal.
85
00:05:45,380 --> 00:05:49,450
You're never going to be gift wrapped an image that's got this much contrast between it.
86
00:05:49,460 --> 00:05:53,280
Sometimes you're going to have an image like this which is a great photo but what happens if we want
87
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:56,160
to put this person into a new image.
88
00:05:56,310 --> 00:06:02,520
Well if we tried the quick selection tool it is a quick selection and sometimes it works great.
89
00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:09,390
So if I click and drag it does a pretty good job of grabbing just the images or just the pixels I want
90
00:06:09,380 --> 00:06:09,620
.
91
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,290
Now if I hold on the old key I can remove or subtract from that selection.
92
00:06:14,310 --> 00:06:15,730
And it does a pretty good job.
93
00:06:15,930 --> 00:06:21,870
If I were to zoom in pretty close you can see it jumped around a little bit on the hair and you know
94
00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:25,230
it forgot this backpack strap things.
95
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:30,230
You know most people wouldn't even notice but sometimes they do and it depends on the level of complexity
96
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,440
you're working with so I'm holding down shift as I click and drag over these rocks here.
97
00:06:34,470 --> 00:06:39,030
It got way more than I wanted to go out and drag.
98
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,880
So this really is an incredible tool and sometimes it works really well it really depends on the image
99
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:43,900
.
100
00:06:43,910 --> 00:06:50,760
When a do is hit the letter V to get my move tool and I didn't even jump cut this to a new layer with
101
00:06:50,750 --> 00:06:55,260
the selection is going to click and drag and you see my selection my move toward turns to an icon with
102
00:06:55,250 --> 00:07:00,080
the arrow and the scissors which means I can cut it and actually move it or bring it up to this tab
103
00:07:00,250 --> 00:07:02,870
drop it back into this setting.
104
00:07:02,970 --> 00:07:06,560
Command you to free transform and just kind of scale it up a little bit.
105
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,840
So not not a horrible selection.
106
00:07:09,870 --> 00:07:16,020
And if we were going to do something else with maybe a dark sky background or a mountain type of a background
107
00:07:16,350 --> 00:07:19,870
let's see if I already downloaded one of those here.
108
00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:23,570
Let's put her in a different setting.
109
00:07:23,690 --> 00:07:25,660
I just click and drag that in here quick.
110
00:07:25,790 --> 00:07:29,750
Whoops that's the wrong one.
111
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:30,850
There you go.
112
00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:31,130
All right.
113
00:07:31,130 --> 00:07:33,380
So scale that up a bit.
114
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,760
It's going to drag this layer below the other one here.
115
00:07:35,750 --> 00:07:40,920
And so I could put her into this scene and we could do some work with the lighting to lighten it up
116
00:07:40,910 --> 00:07:42,440
and make it look a little more believable.
117
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,860
But the rocks really look good.
118
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,940
And because of the detail and all of the color around it that selection is more than sufficient.
119
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:52,390
Now here is probably one of the best ways to make a selection.
120
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,060
And this is something I would do if I really needed to know that my selection was perfect.
121
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:02,900
So here's an example of an image I used for my client and I really wanted the image the selection to
122
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:04,340
be perfect.
123
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,280
So what I did is I use the pen tool to daughter.
124
00:08:07,310 --> 00:08:13,720
We we'll get our pen to click up here on the top two options bar and makes her program path selected
125
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:16,240
we want to do a shape right now let me show what does a shape really quick.
126
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,840
I click on shape click and drag it will make a shape and I can change a color up here.
127
00:08:21,870 --> 00:08:23,480
So you can play with that later.
128
00:08:23,630 --> 00:08:24,340
I'm going to come over here.
129
00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:33,940
I Pads window click on that path and delete it because it's not what I'm after right now.
130
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:44,250
Right now if I come back to my pen tool the letter P changes down to path I can click and drag or just
131
00:08:44,250 --> 00:08:49,070
click clicking and dragging will make curves we called Bezier curves.
132
00:08:49,410 --> 00:08:56,060
If I command a return or if I come over here to path and command click on this icon I'll get the marching
133
00:08:56,070 --> 00:08:57,100
ants again.
134
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,980
So this is a no way to make a selection.
135
00:08:59,030 --> 00:09:02,810
Just like the other selections you've seen but the difference is with the other selections it was pretty
136
00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:08,730
tough to go back through and refine selections here if I wanted to get really fine you know with detailed
137
00:09:08,730 --> 00:09:15,690
with this work I could hit my caps lock key which changes my cursor from the pen tool to a precise cursor
138
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,410
so I can click once click and drag to get to bend this line.
139
00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:26,650
And now wherever I click it will follow that anchor point and that's my actual path.
140
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,850
So it's a little bit of a tricky tool to get used to but you'll start to see if you can play with this
141
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:34,320
a little bit on your own time and get good at it.
142
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,080
You can create incredible incredibly precise selections.
143
00:09:39,090 --> 00:09:41,660
So I'm just going to rough this one out road quick.
144
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,600
I'm just I'm just clicking real fast so we can move along in this tutorial here.
145
00:09:46,830 --> 00:09:54,420
But what I like about it is I can come in and really really control exactly how am I my anger points
146
00:09:54,410 --> 00:09:59,430
land and I can also move them exactly to where I want them to be.
147
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,150
Some is going to make my selection here.
148
00:10:08,020 --> 00:10:15,620
And you can see that I can quickly zip through this and it does not to be perfect especially if the
149
00:10:15,620 --> 00:10:18,530
size is going to be that large.
150
00:10:18,540 --> 00:10:23,830
But if you needed to be perfect you could come back in on the command key click on any one of these
151
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:30,260
anchor points and move it right to where it needs to be so that way it's pixel perfect when you're ready
152
00:10:30,260 --> 00:10:34,410
come back click on that last point you left off on and continue on your way.
153
00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:39,240
If at any point you accidentally de-select your path and you can't see it you can come over this pass
154
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:39,700
later.
155
00:10:39,710 --> 00:10:41,090
Click on that work path.
156
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:41,940
Hit the letter P
157
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,420
Lemmer time command click on this and right here.
158
00:10:47,420 --> 00:10:54,200
Now I've got my my pen to I'll click and I'm off and running again off that path that I left off on
159
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:54,370
.
160
00:10:54,380 --> 00:10:59,570
So hopefully you can see how this could be a really great tool see and I didn't catch that curve right
161
00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:05,350
there so I can grab this anchor point and then grab my handle and bend that out a little bit.
162
00:11:05,390 --> 00:11:10,440
Click once on that and point click and drag and now I'm off and running again.
163
00:11:10,430 --> 00:11:13,430
So it's a really really great tool.
164
00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:14,600
Things you need to work on here.
165
00:11:14,610 --> 00:11:26,630
If I click and drag it'll bend it or I can click once drag to get my anchor my handle and then come
166
00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:29,150
back and click again to get a bend.
167
00:11:29,490 --> 00:11:34,950
I can come back over it with the Alt key selected and change my curves from a rounded curve to a hard
168
00:11:34,940 --> 00:11:37,340
curve.
169
00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:40,550
Or I can grab my direct selection tool here the letter A.
170
00:11:40,940 --> 00:11:42,440
Grab those points that I don't want.
171
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,200
Hit the delete key and delete them.
172
00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:48,610
So it's really really flexible way to make your selections.
173
00:11:48,620 --> 00:11:58,220
I hid the letter P Whoops the letter P real quick and grab that in point and I'm going to zoom out a
174
00:11:58,230 --> 00:12:01,250
little bit.
175
00:12:01,460 --> 00:12:04,890
I'll come back over and find where I started.
176
00:12:04,940 --> 00:12:06,040
I want to hover.
177
00:12:06,170 --> 00:12:11,190
I get my pen tool with the circle next to a medium closing that path.
178
00:12:11,490 --> 00:12:18,750
So now that selected I can right click with my pen tool selected and hit make selection which gives
179
00:12:18,750 --> 00:12:23,750
me the option to make a new selection or if I already have a selection I can subtract from the selection
180
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:31,670
I make Mandy or I click on this work path here but the command key selected to get the selection soon
181
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:36,430
after I wanted to come back to my layers like command J to jump cut this to a new layer.
182
00:12:36,620 --> 00:12:43,040
And if I bring this over into my let's see I could be you know really where I wanted to.
183
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:48,550
But you can see how we can make selections and their pixel perfect.
184
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,090
So what I want you to do is go ahead and spend some time cutting out your image trying to get it to
185
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:56,330
where it looks like this.
186
00:12:56,340 --> 00:12:59,130
Here let me grab my example real quick
187
00:13:02,450 --> 00:13:08,930
so we've got this guy where he's totally cut out all the details are removed and we're ready to work
188
00:13:09,090 --> 00:13:10,490
in our new scene.
189
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:13,590
Here's another example where I've gone ahead and actually cut him out completely.
190
00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:15,590
So go ahead and do that real quick.
191
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,680
Get your image cut out and then we'll dive into the next video.
