Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:02,700
so let me ask you a question what is the
2
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:04,560
purpose of a mask an actual mask
3
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:07,740
actually to hide the face right thieves
4
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:09,480
and robbers wear a mask you know why to
5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:10,800
hide their faces of course they don't
6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,540
want to be seen superheroes at least
7
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:14,400
most of them wear a mask why to hide
8
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,079
their face and of course their identity
9
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,480
similarly in Photoshop the only
10
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,699
objective of a layer mask the only
11
00:00:20,699 --> 00:00:23,160
purpose of a layer mask is to hide the
12
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,140
layer that's it so here we have a
13
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:27,000
beautiful ballerina on top of that we
14
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,980
have this flow text we want to create
15
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:31,619
the text layer in such a way that the O
16
00:00:31,619 --> 00:00:34,200
comes from behind her how do we make
17
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,360
that happen we have to hide parts of O
18
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,399
right and we make that happen with the
19
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:40,440
help of a layer mask and the way you can
20
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,079
create a layer mask is by selecting the
21
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:44,579
layer for which you want to create the
22
00:00:44,579 --> 00:00:47,040
layer mask and then click on the mask
23
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,100
button right there there you go it
24
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:51,539
creates something right there at the
25
00:00:51,539 --> 00:00:53,940
moment it is all white the concept of
26
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:56,460
layer mask is black are the areas which
27
00:00:56,460 --> 00:01:00,000
hide white other areas which show up so
28
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,520
if the layer mask is selected and then
29
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,739
you select the brush right there and you
30
00:01:04,739 --> 00:01:07,080
start painting with black let's paint
31
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,060
with a soft round brush have a look
32
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:12,240
those areas hide what is happening
33
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,939
inside of the mask that area is black
34
00:01:14,939 --> 00:01:17,400
which means that area is simply not
35
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,560
showing up remember black Heights and
36
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,140
white shows so this area is black that
37
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:23,820
is why this area is not showing up
38
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:25,860
however if you paint that back with
39
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:28,259
white by the way you can press X to
40
00:01:28,259 --> 00:01:29,700
toggle between the foreground and the
41
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:31,380
background colors and if the foreground
42
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:33,360
and the background colors are funky to
43
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,759
some other random color right here press
44
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:38,280
D to reset the foreground and background
45
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,500
colors to black and white now let's
46
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:42,840
paint that area back in White have a
47
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,939
look it starts showing up which means it
48
00:01:44,939 --> 00:01:46,380
is not permanent it's absolutely
49
00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:48,119
non-destructive and that's a great thing
50
00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:50,159
which means you can change stuff later
51
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:52,979
so to erase the O from that area take
52
00:01:52,979 --> 00:01:55,200
the brush black as the foreground color
53
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,180
again we pressed X to toggle between the
54
00:01:57,180 --> 00:01:59,280
foreground and the background and just
55
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,140
paint you don't have to be very accurate
56
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:04,320
we can create a shadow effect like this
57
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,420
and there you go this is a wonderful
58
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:08,580
effect right here and then you can find
59
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:11,099
tune it according to your liking
60
00:02:11,099 --> 00:02:13,260
just like this
61
00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:15,900
this looks so darn classy two things to
62
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:18,000
remember the only purpose of a layer
63
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,459
mask is to hide the layer certain parts
64
00:02:20,459 --> 00:02:22,260
of the layer the whole layer or hide
65
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:24,840
nothing but the purpose of it is to hide
66
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,760
different areas of the layer and the
67
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,860
second most important concept is black
68
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:31,620
hides and white shows wherever we
69
00:02:31,620 --> 00:02:34,620
painted black those areas are hidden and
70
00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:37,080
all of the white areas show up have a
71
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,819
look at it by the way how did we see the
72
00:02:38,819 --> 00:02:40,620
mask you can hold the ALT key or the
73
00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:43,379
option key click on the mask to see just
74
00:02:43,379 --> 00:02:45,360
the mask you can hold the ALT key or the
75
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,459
option key back again click on the mask
76
00:02:47,459 --> 00:02:49,739
to see the layer also there is no need
77
00:02:49,739 --> 00:02:51,660
to panic if you hold the alt carry the
78
00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:53,700
option key click on the mask and you
79
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:55,440
forget where you are just select any
80
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,080
other layer or simply click outside and
81
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,640
you should be fine before we continue
82
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:01,560
there are lots of fun projects like this
83
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,239

the domain expires just do the YouTube
96
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,080
thing back to the lesson you must be
97
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,300
wondering why use a layer mask in the
98
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,099
first place you can just simply use an
99
00:03:35,099 --> 00:03:37,500
eraser right sorry about that there are
100
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:40,019
two major reasons we use layer masks
101
00:03:40,019 --> 00:03:43,260
number one it is non-destructive and
102
00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:45,900
number two it works with non-raster
103
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:48,180
layers let's look into that let's start
104
00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:49,940
for the first reason that is
105
00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:52,560
non-destructive abilities heavy word but
106
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,420
very simple to understand let's say in
107
00:03:54,420 --> 00:03:56,159
this landscape you want to do a very
108
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:58,379
simple Sky replacement don't worry about
109
00:03:58,379 --> 00:04:00,299
reflection that is too complicated for
110
00:04:00,299 --> 00:04:02,700
right now just a simple Sky replacement
111
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:05,580
now I do understand Photoshop has a sky
112
00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:08,040
replacement feature right here but we're
113
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,980
gonna do it in a very simple way for it
114
00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:13,560
first of all let's select the sky just
115
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,840
go to select choose sky
116
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,000
it makes a selection very fantastic
117
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,738
isn't it in the later versions of
118
00:04:19,738 --> 00:04:21,120
Photoshop now what if we just simply
119
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,100
delete this guy by pressing the delete
120
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:24,240
key
121
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,220
now again it won't let you delete it
122
00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:28,139
cleanly because it's a background layer
123
00:04:28,139 --> 00:04:29,820
and background layers cannot be
124
00:04:29,820 --> 00:04:31,680
transparent so first of all let's unlock
125
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,780
this layer by clicking on this button
126
00:04:33,780 --> 00:04:36,900
press the delete key all right now press
127
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:39,600
Ctrl or command D to deselect because
128
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,220
there was a selection we wanted to
129
00:04:41,220 --> 00:04:43,320
deselect now let's bring in the new Sky
130
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,360
I'm just going to drag it and drop it
131
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,040
right here make sure to download all the
132
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,720
assets so that you can follow along
133
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,000
let's make it larger and of course the
134
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,040
sky needs to be behind the mountains
135
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,160
right so place the sky behind the
136
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,139
mountain layers or the whole landscape
137
00:04:58,139 --> 00:05:00,960
layer press Ctrl or command T and adjust
138
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,740
it right now it looks pretty okay
139
00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:07,080
there is a problem however the problem
140
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,500
is we deleted the sky area from this one
141
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:13,560
if we wanted something back we cannot
142
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,300
have a look at it there are parts of the
143
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:17,699
mountains that are gone if I turn it off
144
00:05:17,699 --> 00:05:19,440
you can easily see that have a look
145
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,960
these have become transparent also have
146
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,120
a look at this area that is completely
147
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,880
erased if I turn this on have a look the
148
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,100
mountain is gone we cannot have it back
149
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:31,620
similarly if you just use the Eraser
150
00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:34,680
tool by selecting right here and erased
151
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,320
the sky let's say we did it this way we
152
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,120
cannot have the mountains back if we
153
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,000
painted extra accidentally or if we want
154
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,860
something back for some reason so that
155
00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:45,840
my friend is the destructive style of
156
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,240
editing it is the style of editing where
157
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,180
we cannot go back after the fact layer
158
00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:52,580
masks allow you to work
159
00:05:52,580 --> 00:05:54,660
non-destructively let's go back to how
160
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:57,180
it was right this is how it was first of
161
00:05:57,180 --> 00:05:59,100
all let us select the sky how do we do
162
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:01,740
that go to select Sky you can also use
163
00:06:01,740 --> 00:06:03,900
other tools you can erase it in a layer
164
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:05,520
mask with a brush that that's all up to
165
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,560
you but this is easy Once the selection
166
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,840
is active if you click on the mask
167
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,660
button it will create a mask of the
168
00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:15,120
selected area so if I click right here
169
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,940
have a look only the selected area shows
170
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:20,400
up because in The Mask right here the
171
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,500
sky area is White and the other areas
172
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:25,020
are Black White are the areas which show
173
00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:27,300
up blank are the areas which hide that
174
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:29,400
is why this is the case but we want it
175
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,560
opposite of it so there are two ways we
176
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,600
can approach this we can select the mask
177
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,060
and then press Ctrl or command I to
178
00:06:36,060 --> 00:06:39,900
invert the mask now the sky is black and
179
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,300
the ground base is white right it
180
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:44,340
completely opposites the mask the other
181
00:06:44,340 --> 00:06:46,560
approach is a little shortcut let's go
182
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,840
back to how it was here we now have a
183
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,300
selection if we wanted to create an
184
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:53,280
opposite mask or in other words a
185
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,740
negative mask we would hold the ALT key
186
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:58,020
or the option key and then click on the
187
00:06:58,020 --> 00:07:00,300
mask button it creates the opposite mask
188
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:02,160
already so you don't have to do that
189
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,960
extra step now if you bring in the new
190
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,919
sky
191
00:07:04,919 --> 00:07:07,740
let's make it a little larger like this
192
00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:10,979
take it behind the ground the mountains
193
00:07:10,979 --> 00:07:14,520
Ctrl or command D let's take it up like
194
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,300
that
195
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:18,479
right now we can bring stuff back if you
196
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:20,220
zoom in have a look these areas are
197
00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:22,979
transparent right I can go into the mask
198
00:07:22,979 --> 00:07:25,919
right here we can take the brush white
199
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:28,319
as the foreground color and paint these
200
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:31,080
areas back in bring them back there you
201
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,400
go
202
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,620
so this gives you the flexibility this
203
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:36,720
gives you the non-destructive abilities
204
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,080
to go back if the mask was not right or
205
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,819
if you want to change something now
206
00:07:41,819 --> 00:07:43,380
before we move on to the next reason why
207
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:45,120
we use layer masks what was the first
208
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:45,960
reason
209
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,660
because it is
210
00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:49,620
non-destructive you can go back and
211
00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:51,599
stuff let's start with the second reason
212
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:53,460
so what was the second reason we talked
213
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:54,120
about
214
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,880
second reason is simply that it works
215
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,699
with non-araster layers what do I mean
216
00:07:59,699 --> 00:08:01,620
by that so in this image of this classy
217
00:08:01,620 --> 00:08:03,360
lady let's say we want to add some funky
218
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,460
background so let's open up finder or
219
00:08:05,460 --> 00:08:07,500
Explorer we're just going to drag it and
220
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:10,199
drop in the doodle pattern by the way I
221
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:12,000
downloaded it from envato elements I
222
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,680
highly recommend it it's amazing it
223
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,360
gives you unlimited access to all of
224
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,220
these assets unlimited downloads of
225
00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:18,960
these things like Photoshop actions
226
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,960
brushes Graphics like these and so much
227
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,000
more sound effects stock photos talk
228
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,699
videos Photoshop plugins and stuff so
229
00:08:26,699 --> 00:08:28,259
check it out there's a sale going on
230
00:08:28,259 --> 00:08:29,639
right now I don't know how long it will
231
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:31,080
go check the links in the description
232
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,179
did you notice that when we placed it it
233
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:35,399
placed as a smart object let us delete
234
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:36,779
that and let me do that again for you
235
00:08:36,779 --> 00:08:38,940
and this time notice so if we go right
236
00:08:38,940 --> 00:08:41,279
here if we click and drag and drop on
237
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:43,559
the canvas like this this my friend
238
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,779
comes as a smart object and comes
239
00:08:45,779 --> 00:08:48,000
resized why is this so you need to make
240
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,440
a small change in your Photoshop
241
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,100
preferences go to edit and then
242
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:54,660
preferences on a Mac it would be under
243
00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:56,940
Photoshop and then preferences and
244
00:08:56,940 --> 00:08:59,279
inside of that go to General
245
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:01,080
and inside of general make sure you
246
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,540
check always create smart objects when
247
00:09:03,540 --> 00:09:05,220
placing also you might want to resize
248
00:09:05,220 --> 00:09:06,899
during place and that is why it was
249
00:09:06,899 --> 00:09:09,180
fitting to the canvas hit ok now of
250
00:09:09,180 --> 00:09:10,920
course we want this design to be behind
251
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,779
the subject for it we need to select the
252
00:09:12,779 --> 00:09:14,760
subject right now if we select any of
253
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,680
these three tools the object selection
254
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:18,540
the quick selection or the magic wand
255
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:20,279
tool at the top we will see the option
256
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:22,140
for select subject but it won't do
257
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:25,080
anything why because this layer is
258
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,360
selected not the subject layer so select
259
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,279
the subject layer click on select
260
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:31,200
subject now that we have a selection
261
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,080
remember we want it not on the subject
262
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,200
but everywhere else in other words we
263
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,540
want a negative mask so how do we create
264
00:09:39,540 --> 00:09:41,820
a negative mask we just learned if you
265
00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:43,800
hold the ALT key or the option key and
266
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,720
then click on the mask button now you
267
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,640
have a negative mask now did you get the
268
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,260
second reason why we use layer masks
269
00:09:49,260 --> 00:09:51,240
have a look this my friend is a smart
270
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,040
object and that is why we were going on
271
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,440
and on about smart objects now the thing
272
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,720
with smart objects is it is simply a
273
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,120
preview we talked about it in the lesson
274
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,040
about less and since it is just a
275
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,140
preview if you take the brush and try to
276
00:10:04,140 --> 00:10:07,320
paint it won't let you do it also if you
277
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,660
take the Eraser and try to erase it
278
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:12,779
won't let you do it so the only way to
279
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:14,940
hide certain areas from a smart object
280
00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:17,160
or a shape layer or a text layer like we
281
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,680
did in the very first example is using a
282
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,260
layer mask if we create a simple regular
283
00:10:22,260 --> 00:10:24,600
raster layer and if we take the brush
284
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,540
and we paint something like this of
285
00:10:27,540 --> 00:10:29,700
course we can take an eraser and erase
286
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:32,040
it why because the Eraser erases the
287
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,320
pixels but with smart objects we are not
288
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,060
dealing with pixels with shape layers we
289
00:10:36,060 --> 00:10:37,680
are not dealing with pixels with text
290
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,839
layers it's Vector based right so the
291
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:42,600
only way to hide stuff is using a layer
292
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,579
mask now let us make the background a
293
00:10:44,579 --> 00:10:46,620
little realistic double click on the
294
00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:48,240
right hand side of the layer this opens
295
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,339
up the layer style dialog box we want to
296
00:10:50,339 --> 00:10:52,320
take this design away from the dark
297
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,279
areas of the underlying layers or the
298
00:10:56,279 --> 00:10:58,860
layer that lies under it so dark areas
299
00:10:58,860 --> 00:11:01,380
of this layer and how do we do that by
300
00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:03,420
taking the slider of the underlying
301
00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:06,000
layer layers that lie under it from left
302
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,579
to right but again this would be harsh
303
00:11:08,579 --> 00:11:10,680
so we would want to break it down have a
304
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:12,180
look this is Harsh right here going
305
00:11:12,180 --> 00:11:13,740
completely away from the Shadows we
306
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:15,480
don't want that so hold the alt clear
307
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,100
the option key click on the slider to
308
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:18,899
break it apart take it all the way apart
309
00:11:18,899 --> 00:11:20,640
that looks great let's take it even
310
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,040
further like this a little light design
311
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,779
is fine too hit okay once you're
312
00:11:24,779 --> 00:11:26,820
satisfied and there you go now let's say
313
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:28,260
you want to move this pattern around
314
00:11:28,260 --> 00:11:30,779
make it larger or smaller how would you
315
00:11:30,779 --> 00:11:32,100
do that right now there's a problem
316
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:34,320
first of all let's name the lead that is
317
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,260
a problem organization is important if
318
00:11:37,260 --> 00:11:39,899
you press Ctrl or command T and if you
319
00:11:39,899 --> 00:11:43,380
try to move it the mask also moves that
320
00:11:43,380 --> 00:11:46,500
is an issue if you try to make it larger
321
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:49,560
The Mask also becomes larger so how do
322
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:51,120
we move it in a way so that the mask
323
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,300
stays intact by simply unlinking The
324
00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:55,860
Mask so right now as you can see have a
325
00:11:55,860 --> 00:11:57,540
look at the link icon right there which
326
00:11:57,540 --> 00:11:59,820
means that the mask and the layer is
327
00:11:59,820 --> 00:12:01,980
linked so whatever movement resizing or
328
00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:04,260
rotation you do to the layer The Mask
329
00:12:04,260 --> 00:12:06,660
will also do the same accordingly and
330
00:12:06,660 --> 00:12:08,220
also if the layer is a regular raster
331
00:12:08,220 --> 00:12:10,079
layer not a smart object like this one
332
00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:13,200
but a regular raster layer and let's say
333
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,720
we paint like this we create a mask and
334
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,640
we erase this area right even if you
335
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,860
apply a filter to this one like filter
336
00:12:19,860 --> 00:12:23,760
blur and then gaussian blur
337
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,660
have a look The Mask also blurs right so
338
00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:29,399
to make the mask independent of the
339
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:31,620
layer we need to unlink it so how do we
340
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:34,680
unlink it simply click on the link the
341
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:36,360
same way you unlock a leg click on the
342
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,279
lock it unlocks the layer click on the
343
00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:40,680
link to unlink it to link it back click
344
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:42,480
right here in the middle it just comes
345
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,100
back in like magic so once they have
346
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:46,560
broken up by clicking right here you can
347
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:49,200
press controller command D make it
348
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,399
larger smaller The Mask stays intact you
349
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,740
can move it around have a look you have
350
00:12:55,740 --> 00:12:57,779
all the freedom to do that and right
351
00:12:57,779 --> 00:12:59,399
here as you can see the paint cannot be
352
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:01,320
that sharp there has to be a little bit
353
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,360
of blur to it right let's go to filter
354
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,019
blur and then gaussian blue let's apply
355
00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:08,940
two that's fine that looks more
356
00:13:08,940 --> 00:13:11,000
realistic or maybe
357
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,760
1.4 possibly hit okay that's nice and
358
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,260
there you have it now one very important
359
00:13:16,260 --> 00:13:18,120
thing when using Photoshop there are no
360
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,519
set of rules and if we try to cram a set
361
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:22,860
of rules which would be infinite steam
362
00:13:22,860 --> 00:13:24,480
will come running out of our ears
363
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,240
instead once we understand the concept
364
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,399
your approach might be absolutely
365
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:31,380
fantastically different from mine and
366
00:13:31,380 --> 00:13:33,060
that is absolutely fine and that is the
367
00:13:33,060 --> 00:13:34,980
way it should be now just as we can turn
368
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:37,320
off and on layers we can also turn off
369
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,839
and on just the masks and here's how to
370
00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:41,279
do it let's say you want to take a look
371
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:43,380
at how the original Sky looked like
372
00:13:43,380 --> 00:13:45,720
without the mask right here you can hold
373
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,600
the shift key and click on the mask
374
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,240
there you go the mask is turned off and
375
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,680
this is how the image would be without
376
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:54,600
the mask sometimes we don't want to
377
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,399
delete the mask because we just want to
378
00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:58,440
look at how it would look like if the
379
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,019
mask was not there or you might want to
380
00:14:01,019 --> 00:14:02,700
check something but right now I have
381
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:05,040
deleted it and I have to do the mask all
382
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,380
over again so that is why Photoshop has
383
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:08,880
this feature where you can simply turn
384
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,100
off the mask whenever you want just hold
385
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,620
the shift key click on the mask across
386
00:14:13,620 --> 00:14:15,420
will show up which means it's turned off
387
00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:18,180
again just click right here it will turn
388
00:14:18,180 --> 00:14:19,800
on you don't have to hold the shift key
389
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,100
again once it turns off just click on it
390
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:25,320
or if you have to have it you can hold
391
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,420
the shift key click on it it doesn't
392
00:14:27,420 --> 00:14:29,459
really matter now the layer mask has its
393
00:14:29,459 --> 00:14:31,139
own properties everything has a property
394
00:14:31,139 --> 00:14:33,180
in Photoshop but with layer masks there
395
00:14:33,180 --> 00:14:34,440
are only two you need to worry about
396
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,120
let's say you want to create a vignette
397
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,560
let's create one of my favorite
398
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,959
adjustment layers first time in this
399
00:14:39,959 --> 00:14:41,880
series so click on the adjustment layer
400
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,060
icon and then choose curves now this may
401
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:47,399
be a little Advanced however if you're
402
00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:49,139
interested you can watch the this
403
00:14:49,139 --> 00:14:51,060
complete master class that takes you
404
00:14:51,060 --> 00:14:52,980
through how to use the curves from start
405
00:14:52,980 --> 00:14:55,320
to finish right here but for right now
406
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,899
just know that if you create a point and
407
00:14:57,899 --> 00:15:00,180
take it down it will make it darker if
408
00:15:00,180 --> 00:15:02,519
you take it up it will make it brighter
409
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,740
the right hand side represent the bright
410
00:15:04,740 --> 00:15:07,260
areas the left hand side represent the
411
00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:09,600
dark areas so if I want to make the dark
412
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,000
areas darker I can create a point right
413
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,620
here drag it down
414
00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:15,420
if I want to make the bright areas
415
00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:17,519
brighter I can create a point right here
416
00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:20,160
and drag it up so bright areas have
417
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,139
become brighter dark areas have become
418
00:15:22,139 --> 00:15:24,480
darker as a result we have more contrast
419
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,420
let us reset it by simply clicking on
420
00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:29,160
this button now what we want to do is
421
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,720
create a vignette
422
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,820
so take the point on the right hand side
423
00:15:32,820 --> 00:15:35,639
down like that and to create some
424
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:37,260
contrast create a point in the middle
425
00:15:37,260 --> 00:15:39,899
and take it down as well again to
426
00:15:39,899 --> 00:15:42,360
understand curves that is the video to
427
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,339
watch for now this much understanding is
428
00:15:44,339 --> 00:15:46,620
fine let's collapse it now make sure the
429
00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:48,360
mask is selected let's press Ctrl or
430
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,600
command 0 to fit it to the screen now
431
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,959
take the brush take a hard round brush
432
00:15:54,959 --> 00:15:57,180
right here let's make the brush a little
433
00:15:57,180 --> 00:16:00,300
larger and just dab in the middle with
434
00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:02,339
black as the foreground color make sure
435
00:16:02,339 --> 00:16:04,320
opacity and flow at the top are at 100
436
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,920
just dab once now here's the great part
437
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,920
you can press controller command D and
438
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,320
move it around make the face in focus
439
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,480
and then let's make it a little larger
440
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,220
if you hold the shift key you can
441
00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:19,320
stretch it a little if you wish to
442
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,120
if you also hold the ALT key it will
443
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,800
stretch from the center you already know
444
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,440
that but this is way too harsh right so
445
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,420
here comes the first property if you
446
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:29,100
double click on the layer mask you
447
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:30,600
should see the properties by the way
448
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,040
when you double click for the first time
449
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,139
I think you might get a choice as to
450
00:16:34,139 --> 00:16:35,760
what you want to see select and mask our
451
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,079
properties make sure you choose
452
00:16:37,079 --> 00:16:39,000
properties if that's what you want one
453
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,279
other way to bring up properties is by
454
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:43,980
selecting the mask and just bring up the
455
00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:46,019
properties just like this again if you
456
00:16:46,019 --> 00:16:48,420
cannot see the properties go to window
457
00:16:48,420 --> 00:16:52,139
and make sure properties is selected
458
00:16:52,139 --> 00:16:54,300
right here checked the first slider
459
00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:55,740
we're going to talk about right now is
460
00:16:55,740 --> 00:16:58,560
feather it simply blurs it we're going
461
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,720
to talk about density later but feather
462
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,940
if you increase it have a look this is
463
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:05,339
getting more and more blurred
464
00:17:05,339 --> 00:17:07,919
so it simply blurs the mask in a
465
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:09,480
non-destructive way so that you can
466
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,459
always go back so right now this is
467
00:17:11,459 --> 00:17:13,919
looking fine let's blur it a lot
468
00:17:13,919 --> 00:17:16,980
like this much how much is it 600 right
469
00:17:16,980 --> 00:17:20,220
let's go for 620 all right take a look
470
00:17:20,220 --> 00:17:22,559
it's dragging the attention of the
471
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:24,419
viewer towards the face now that's not
472
00:17:24,419 --> 00:17:27,359
all watch this with the mask selected if
473
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,000
you press Ctrl or command d
474
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,620
this can be adjust later pretty cool now
475
00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:35,640
you can
476
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,840
resize it move it around it's all up to
477
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,120
you there you go the next property will
478
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:44,460
be a little fun let's say we want to
479
00:17:44,460 --> 00:17:46,440
color grade it the easiest way to do it
480
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,419
is by using a color lookup adjustment
481
00:17:48,419 --> 00:17:50,340
layer click on the adjustment layer icon
482
00:17:50,340 --> 00:17:53,039
and then choose color lookup right from
483
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:55,559
here you can choose whatever you want so
484
00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:57,840
you can go for crisp form you can go for
485
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,179
whatever you want let's say we choose
486
00:18:00,179 --> 00:18:03,299
fall colors that looks dreamy now let's
487
00:18:03,299 --> 00:18:06,240
say we only want it on the subject now
488
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,340
of course you can select the subject
489
00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:10,559
apply the mask right here let me show
490
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:12,000
you the long process and then the
491
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,100
shorter process so if you select the
492
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:16,679
subject layer and using the same method
493
00:18:16,679 --> 00:18:18,480
of using these tools and at the top
494
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,340
clicking on select subject you can go to
495
00:18:20,340 --> 00:18:22,500
the mask right here and fill that with
496
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:24,600
black so with black as the foreground
497
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,240
color press alt backspace or option
498
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,880
delete Now deselect by pressing Ctrl or
499
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,940
command D now it is the opposite of what
500
00:18:32,940 --> 00:18:34,740
we wanted so select the mask and then
501
00:18:34,740 --> 00:18:37,740
press Ctrl command I to invert the mask
502
00:18:37,740 --> 00:18:40,200
that is the long way of doing it the
503
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,200
shorter way is before even creating any
504
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,299
adjustment layer if you already have a
505
00:18:45,299 --> 00:18:47,340
selection because adjustment layers
506
00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:49,679
already come with their own masks if you
507
00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:51,480
just make a selection beforehand let's
508
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,120
click on select subject and then if we
509
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:56,400
created a color lookup adjustment layer
510
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,140
have a look it already comes with that
511
00:18:58,140 --> 00:19:00,860
mask now let's change it to let's say
512
00:19:00,860 --> 00:19:04,620
fall colors this was it right now it's
513
00:19:04,620 --> 00:19:07,020
looking a little odd because it's all on
514
00:19:07,020 --> 00:19:09,360
the subject not on the background we
515
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:10,919
want a little bit of this on the
516
00:19:10,919 --> 00:19:13,080
background as well how do we make that
517
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,179
happen only if we could decrease the
518
00:19:15,179 --> 00:19:18,179
opacity of the mask and that is the
519
00:19:18,179 --> 00:19:20,580
setting of density if you select the
520
00:19:20,580 --> 00:19:22,559
mask and open up the properties and just
521
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:25,440
decrease the density see what happens it
522
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,840
is just like opacity for the mask if the
523
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,960
density is at zero it acts like there
524
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,880
was no mask in there in the first place
525
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,160
but as you begin to increase the density
526
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,500
it's like the opacity of the Mask
527
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:39,600
increases and the effect of the Mask
528
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,460
becomes more and more opaque so I'm
529
00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:43,919
going to keep it at about 50 that looks
530
00:19:43,919 --> 00:19:46,140
nice continuing with this example let us
531
00:19:46,140 --> 00:19:48,179
learn how do we copy a mask usually I
532
00:19:48,179 --> 00:19:49,799
like to add a little grain to my images
533
00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:52,020
the way we do it again we covered this
534
00:19:52,020 --> 00:19:54,840
in previous lessons we press Ctrl shift
535
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,539
n command shift n to bring the new layer
536
00:19:57,539 --> 00:19:59,100
dialog box we choose the blend mode
537
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:01,200
overlay and choose fill with overlay
538
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,360
neutral color over laser blend mode
539
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:05,340
which hides anything that is 50 Gray
540
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:08,220
since this layer is gray it looks hidden
541
00:20:08,220 --> 00:20:09,840
now before we do anything let's go to
542
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,480
filter convert for smart filters hit OK
543
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,980
to convert this layer into a smart
544
00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:16,200
object so that whatever filter we apply
545
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,940
we can change that later now let's go to
546
00:20:17,940 --> 00:20:21,480
filter noise and then add noise
547
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,840
40 is fine for now uniform monochromatic
548
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,660
is good hit okay noise is too fine let's
549
00:20:27,660 --> 00:20:30,419
blur it let's go to filter blur and then
550
00:20:30,419 --> 00:20:32,419
gaussian blur
551
00:20:32,419 --> 00:20:35,100
0.8.6 is fine for this example let's go
552
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:38,460
for 0.8 it okay now I think the noise is
553
00:20:38,460 --> 00:20:40,320
too much that is the advantage of a
554
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,059
smart object we can go back to noise
555
00:20:42,059 --> 00:20:44,400
settings by double clicking on add noise
556
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,460
right here hit okay let's change it to
557
00:20:47,460 --> 00:20:50,039
about 30.
558
00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:53,039
hit ok now for the background I love the
559
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:54,840
texture but let's say we don't want that
560
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,000
much on the subject how do we do it we
561
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,280
can recreate the subject mask or just
562
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,140
simply copy this one so hold the alt
563
00:21:01,140 --> 00:21:03,120
cure the option key click and drag and
564
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:05,820
drop this mask right here it is copied
565
00:21:05,820 --> 00:21:07,980
right now it is the opposite on the
566
00:21:07,980 --> 00:21:09,780
background it is less on the subject it
567
00:21:09,780 --> 00:21:11,820
is more so select the mask and then
568
00:21:11,820 --> 00:21:14,580
press Ctrl or command I to invert the
569
00:21:14,580 --> 00:21:16,620
mask and then it can control the density
570
00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:19,140
to your liking so open up the properties
571
00:21:19,140 --> 00:21:21,120
make sure the mask is selected if you
572
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:22,980
want more noise on the subject decrease
573
00:21:22,980 --> 00:21:24,419
the density
574
00:21:24,419 --> 00:21:26,460
so that the mask slowly and gradually
575
00:21:26,460 --> 00:21:28,980
becomes invisible if you want lesser and
576
00:21:28,980 --> 00:21:31,500
lesser noise increase the density I
577
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:34,620
think 50 was fine and there you have a
578
00:21:34,620 --> 00:21:36,840
fantastic effect now we just learned how
579
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,700
do we copy a mask but too many copies
580
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:40,919
can be an issue also with the workflow
581
00:21:40,919 --> 00:21:43,200
and also with results let us take a look
582
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,299
in this example we created some lipstick
583
00:21:45,299 --> 00:21:47,400
and by the way it's from this tutorial
584
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,380
which you can watch later mind you it's
585
00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:51,120
a very old video now here we have
586
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:53,640
created a lot of Shades this is for the
587
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,919
dark areas again this one this one for
588
00:21:55,919 --> 00:21:57,840
the highlights and again this one for
589
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,520
the overall darkness and it's simple
590
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,919
solid color adjustment layers with the
591
00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:04,799
lips masked in as you can see and all of
592
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:07,140
them with multiply or screen blend modes
593
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:09,240
and we applied some blend if it's a very
594
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,799
simple technique and the technique is
595
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:13,380
besides the point the point is we have
596
00:22:13,380 --> 00:22:16,200
four same masks the way we did it is by
597
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,720
once we have a mask we just held the alt
598
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,220
here the option key
599
00:22:20,220 --> 00:22:22,380
drag it and dropped it right here of
600
00:22:22,380 --> 00:22:24,600
course we want to replace it and we made
601
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,880
copies of the same mask but it can be an
602
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,799
issue have a look around the edge it's
603
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:31,620
creating that weird highlight and it can
604
00:22:31,620 --> 00:22:33,419
do that sometimes another challenge is
605
00:22:33,419 --> 00:22:35,280
if you want to adjust something in one
606
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,620
mask for example let's say this area was
607
00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:39,659
not looking right so you went into the
608
00:22:39,659 --> 00:22:41,940
mask of this one you took the brush and
609
00:22:41,940 --> 00:22:43,500
you painted accordingly let's say we
610
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:45,840
painted in Black we erased that area
611
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,240
but now you have to do the same thing in
612
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,480
all four masks that's an issue so
613
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,880
instead of doing all this just group all
614
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,260
of those lists let's say these were
615
00:22:55,260 --> 00:22:57,299
ungrouped by the way to ungroup a group
616
00:22:57,299 --> 00:22:58,860
right click on it and then choose
617
00:22:58,860 --> 00:23:01,320
ungroup layers just select all of them
618
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,240
select the first one hold the shift key
619
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,159
select the last one and then press Ctrl
620
00:23:05,159 --> 00:23:08,280
or command G to group them let's name it
621
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,500
whatever you want lipstick and then
622
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:13,080
let's open up the group and put one of
623
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,140
the masts on the group that's it and you
624
00:23:16,140 --> 00:23:18,179
can delete the rest of the masks so Drag
625
00:23:18,179 --> 00:23:21,720
The Mask drop it to the trash can delete
626
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,559
do the same
627
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,880
you can also check don't show again did
628
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,919
not show it again but I keep it because
629
00:23:28,919 --> 00:23:31,260
I have to teach now have a look there is
630
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,480
no more weird highlight around the edge
631
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,820
also if you have to change the mask now
632
00:23:35,820 --> 00:23:38,159
you just have one mess to deal with now
633
00:23:38,159 --> 00:23:39,600
let's talk about the concept of double
634
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,340
masking let's say we want to paint some
635
00:23:41,340 --> 00:23:43,080
highlights so we create a solid color
636
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,700
adjustment layer by clicking on the
637
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:46,320
adjustment layer icon and then choose
638
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,860
solid color all right hit OK for now
639
00:23:49,860 --> 00:23:53,340
turn it off double click right here and
640
00:23:53,340 --> 00:23:54,780
then you can choose any highlight color
641
00:23:54,780 --> 00:23:56,340
from the image to ensure that it's
642
00:23:56,340 --> 00:23:58,140
picking the colors make sure sample all
643
00:23:58,140 --> 00:24:00,000
layers is selected sample size Point
644
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,220
size or 3x3 is fine keep it three by
645
00:24:02,220 --> 00:24:04,440
three it takes a three pixel by 3 pixel
646
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,480
average let's sample this color hit OK
647
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,539
all right let's turn this on now we want
648
00:24:09,539 --> 00:24:11,280
the Highlight on the subject so select
649
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,440
the subject layer select any of these
650
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,900
three tools click on select subject you
651
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:17,220
know the process you know the drill
652
00:24:17,220 --> 00:24:20,039
select the mask fill it with black alt
653
00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:22,500
backspace option delete controller
654
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:25,559
command D and then select the mask press
655
00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:27,720
Ctrl or command I you wouldn't have to
656
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,460
do that long of a process if you already
657
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:31,799
had a selection and then you created a
658
00:24:31,799 --> 00:24:33,780
solid color adjustment layer we just
659
00:24:33,780 --> 00:24:35,159
covered it now the Highlight is
660
00:24:35,159 --> 00:24:37,320
literally all over the subject we only
661
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,059
wanted it on the right hand side y
662
00:24:39,059 --> 00:24:41,039
because the light is coming from the
663
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:42,960
right hand side so now we have a mask
664
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,480
but the problem is if we go right here
665
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,179
we take the brush and with a soft round
666
00:24:48,179 --> 00:24:51,960
brush we erase it from the areas
667
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,299
we paint black in the areas where we
668
00:24:54,299 --> 00:24:55,679
didn't want the highlight
669
00:24:55,679 --> 00:24:58,020
like this now to make it look like a
670
00:24:58,020 --> 00:24:59,520
highlight you can double click on the
671
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,840
right hand side of the layer hold the
672
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,460
ALT key the option key
673
00:25:02,460 --> 00:25:04,080
click on the slider to break it apart
674
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,179
and take it away from the dark areas of
675
00:25:06,179 --> 00:25:08,640
the underlying layer it's pretty good
676
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,559
hit okay I would also decrease the
677
00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:12,960
opacity that's a nice highlight but the
678
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,600
problem now is this if I wanted to get
679
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,120
the Highlights back in the hand areas I
680
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:19,679
cannot do that because if I go to the
681
00:25:19,679 --> 00:25:22,200
mask take the brush white as the
682
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,059
foreground color we pressed X to toggle
683
00:25:24,059 --> 00:25:25,020
between the foreground and the
684
00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:26,940
background if we try to paint this area
685
00:25:26,940 --> 00:25:30,600
back in it also paints on the sky have a
686
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,520
look it also faints on the sky so that's
687
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,620
an issue if I try to paint this area
688
00:25:34,620 --> 00:25:38,039
back in see it also planes that area so
689
00:25:38,039 --> 00:25:40,860
my mask is gone I wish I had the mask
690
00:25:40,860 --> 00:25:42,840
for the subject again so I would have to
691
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,760
redo it I would have to redo select
692
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,980
subject create that mask and go through
693
00:25:46,980 --> 00:25:49,440
the entire process instead of doing that
694
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,419
here's what you do once you have the
695
00:25:51,419 --> 00:25:53,580
mask once you have this filled put that
696
00:25:53,580 --> 00:25:55,440
layer and just that one layer in a group
697
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,200
a group can have one layer no issues you
698
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,299
can always be a group of one select that
699
00:26:00,299 --> 00:26:03,000
layer and press Ctrl or command G now
700
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,220
create a negative mask by holding the
701
00:26:05,220 --> 00:26:07,200
ALT key or the option key and click on
702
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,240
the mask button that creates a black
703
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,299
mask now this mask is right here no
704
00:26:12,299 --> 00:26:15,059
issues but here's another mask that you
705
00:26:15,059 --> 00:26:17,279
can work with now you have two masks for
706
00:26:17,279 --> 00:26:19,140
the same layer now if you paint with
707
00:26:19,140 --> 00:26:20,700
white and bring back some of the
708
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:23,640
highlights right here
709
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,679
it's not an issue because that's a
710
00:26:25,679 --> 00:26:28,200
different mask and you still have this
711
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,840
mask intact only the intersecting areas
712
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,539
of both of this mask is going to show up
713
00:26:33,539 --> 00:26:37,020
now we can zoom in erase this area paint
714
00:26:37,020 --> 00:26:40,740
that back in no issues at all because we
715
00:26:40,740 --> 00:26:42,960
still have this mask so that is the
716
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,240
concept of double masking and I've saved
717
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,279
the most fun project for the end and
718
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:49,380
that is using image as a mask and you
719
00:26:49,380 --> 00:26:51,299
can create incredible effects with it
720
00:26:51,299 --> 00:26:53,880
yes you can definitely use an image as a
721
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,140
mask let's first create a black
722
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:57,960
background unlock the layer and click on
723
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,279
the adjustment layer icon and then
724
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:01,860
choose solid color let us choose black
725
00:27:01,860 --> 00:27:04,980
and hit OK place this behind the bushes
726
00:27:04,980 --> 00:27:06,539
because we're gonna need it now what if
727
00:27:06,539 --> 00:27:08,820
we had a face in a mask form so that
728
00:27:08,820 --> 00:27:10,679

735
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:28,140

00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,460

may be not too bright you know why
753
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:05,940
because the highlights of the Mask is
754
00:28:05,940 --> 00:28:08,100
not too bright so to fix it we need to
755
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:10,260
make the highlights of the Mask brighter
756
00:28:10,260 --> 00:28:12,240

00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,120
