Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,860
so here we have a picture of a landscape
2
00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:03,780
and I want to draw some birds instead of
3
00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:06,000
drawing right here I take a transparent
4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,700
sheet of paper and draw the birds right
5
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:11,340
here now the pen isn't working as well
6
00:00:11,340 --> 00:00:13,860
but you get the point I now have the
7
00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:16,139
freedom to move the bird around I can
8
00:00:16,139 --> 00:00:19,220
rotate the birds digitally I can even
9
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:22,439
enlarge it however if I had directly
10
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:25,740
painted the birds right here
11
00:00:25,740 --> 00:00:28,140
I cannot even erase it erasing it will
12
00:00:28,140 --> 00:00:30,599
erase the image I cannot move it around
13
00:00:30,599 --> 00:00:33,719
I cannot rotate it or enlarge it however
14
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:36,239
in this one I can do whatever I want and
15
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:38,520
on top of that I can remove it as well
16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,379
similarly in Photoshop we have the same
17
00:00:40,379 --> 00:00:42,540
landscape and if we create a new layer
18
00:00:42,540 --> 00:00:45,000
by clicking on this button inside of the
19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,980
layers panel we have a new layer right
20
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:49,320
here and right inside of it if we paint
21
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,840
the birds we have the freedom to rotate
22
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,239
it by pressing Ctrl or command T don't
23
00:00:54,239 --> 00:00:56,760
forget transform we can rotate it we can
24
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,920
make it larger or smaller we can move it
25
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,559
around do whatever we want we can even
26
00:01:01,559 --> 00:01:03,960
turn it off and on on the other hand
27
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,060
just like in that paper example if we
28
00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:08,220
had not painted on that transparent
29
00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:11,040
sheet in this case the layer and if we
30
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,320
had directly painted right here we
31
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:15,299
couldn't rotate it remove it or do
32
00:01:15,299 --> 00:01:17,040
whatever we wanted we couldn't even
33
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,960
press Ctrl or command T because this
34
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:20,880
background layer is locked even if we
35
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,680
unlocked it we pressed controller
36
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,960
command T it would just make the whole
37
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:27,299
thing larger take the whole thing and
38
00:01:27,299 --> 00:01:29,280
move the whole thing around that
39
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,020
completely takes away your freedom we
40
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:32,880
cannot even erase it if we try to do so
41
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,920
by picking the Eraser tool right here
42
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,259
and try to paint over the birds it just
43
00:01:37,259 --> 00:01:39,299
will erase the whole thing so all in all
44
00:01:39,299 --> 00:01:41,340
what are less we just did the experiment
45
00:01:41,340 --> 00:01:43,560
the layers are like transparent sheets
46
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,600
of paper one on top of the other and
47
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,759
these sheets of paper can contain a
48
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:50,280
graphic or an adjustment now what do I
49
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,960
mean by an adjustment so here we have
50
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,700
our landscape as a background on top of
51
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:55,979
that we have our birds as a graphic and
52
00:01:55,979 --> 00:01:57,540
on top of that we can have an adjustment
53
00:01:57,540 --> 00:01:59,040
we're gonna get to it later but for
54
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,420
right now you can click on the
55
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:02,220
adjustment layer icon and choose any of
56
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:04,320
these adjustments for example let us
57
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,659
choose photo filter you can add this
58
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:08,880
color to the entire image let's check
59
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,560
that and then you can increase the
60
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,480
density according to your liking so
61
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,060
there you go it warms up the entire
62
00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:17,160
image so here you have the graphic of
63
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,680
birds and on top of that we have an
64
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,840
adjustment which adjusts all of the
65
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,580
layers beneath it we have lots of fun
66
00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:25,080
projects in this lesson so make sure to
67
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,879
download The Practice files linked up in
68
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:28,500
the description also if your pics
69
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:30,239
creative patreon member you can download
70
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:32,160
the finished psds of all of these
71
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,140
examples and all of the videos that we
72
00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:35,819
have created assets for here at
73
00:02:35,819 --> 00:02:38,160
piximperfect so first of all why are
74
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,900
layers so important so here we have a
75
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:41,459
very simple design of which I got the
76
00:02:41,459 --> 00:02:42,959
idea from Adobe Express if you're
77
00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:44,340
interested I'll link it up in the
78
00:02:44,340 --> 00:02:46,200
description Adobe Express is one of the
79
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,120
easiest ways to create designs quickly
80
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,099
without opening Photoshop but this is
81
00:02:50,099 --> 00:02:52,140
the Photoshop class so here is a very
82
00:02:52,140 --> 00:02:54,000
simple gradient background on top of
83
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,280
that we have some text now I wanted the
84
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,140
subject to be on top of the text and we
85
00:02:58,140 --> 00:02:59,640
have a fun project on text behind
86
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:01,620
subject later but for right now we have
87
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:03,720
this text on top of that we have a
88
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,819
subject and then we have some other text
89
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:07,739
so right now we have the flexibility to
90
00:03:07,739 --> 00:03:10,140
change literally whatever we want not
91
00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:11,580
just the background and the text have a
92
00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:13,379
look at this so of course we can double
93
00:03:13,379 --> 00:03:15,599
click right here single click right here
94
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,840
and change the background to whatever
95
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,640
gradient we want we can create our
96
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,459
gradient as well hit okay hit OK again
97
00:03:23,459 --> 00:03:26,280
we can change the text as well for
98
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,440
example we double click on the T to
99
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,480
select that text and change it to for
100
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,060
example match and on the other hand we
101
00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:35,159
can even move the subject make it bigger
102
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:36,900
smaller there's also a fun thing we can
103
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:39,239
do select the subject layer press Ctrl
104
00:03:39,239 --> 00:03:42,120
or command T you can make it smaller or
105
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,180
larger rotate it to whatever you want on
106
00:03:45,180 --> 00:03:47,459
top of that here's the fun thing you can
107
00:03:47,459 --> 00:03:50,700
go to edit and then pop it warp this is
108
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:52,980
exciting you want to make sure show mesh
109
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:55,019
is checked so that you can see what is
110
00:03:55,019 --> 00:03:56,940
happening right there you can expand it
111
00:03:56,940 --> 00:03:58,860
a little bit to avoid artifacts again
112
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:00,599
this is an advanced adjustment but you
113
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:02,280
can play with it so right here we can
114
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,200
create a point right here we can create
115
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,360
another point so create points across
116
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,180
the body and then you can move it for
117
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:11,340
example you can select this point hold
118
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:13,560
the ALT key or the option key a circle
119
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,360
appears around and then you can just
120
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,600
drag to move so cool isn't it select
121
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,459
this one hold the ALT key the option key
122
00:04:20,459 --> 00:04:22,860
just move it like that and once you're
123
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:25,199
done hit enter or return so here was the
124
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:27,000
before here's the after you can create
125
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,340
more points to lock in the subject but
126
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:30,900
you get the point now let's go back to
127
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:32,400
how it was remember we learned about
128
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,900
history you can open up the history
129
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:35,940
panel by clicking on this button or
130
00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:37,800
going to window and making sure history
131
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,020
is checked you can click at the very top
132
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:42,300
to go back to how the document was when
133
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:44,940
you first opened it now let us merge all
134
00:04:44,940 --> 00:04:47,100
of these layers select the topmost layer
135
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:49,560
hold the shift key select the bottom
136
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,840
most layer every layer in between will
137
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:53,820
be selected another way of selecting
138
00:04:53,820 --> 00:04:55,620
multiple layers is holding the control
139
00:04:55,620 --> 00:04:58,560
or command and keep on clicking on
140
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,240
layers you want to select for example
141
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,100
you want to select this one you hold the
142
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:03,840
controller command you want to select
143
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:05,639
this one both of them would be selected
144
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,259
if you want to select layers in series
145
00:05:07,259 --> 00:05:09,240
you know what to do select the first one
146
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,520
hold the shift key select the last one
147
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,560
in the series Once selected if you press
148
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,020
Ctrl or command e all of those layers
149
00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:18,960
would be merged right now I'm stuck I
150
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,580
cannot even change the background I
151
00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:22,620
cannot change the text everything is
152
00:05:22,620 --> 00:05:25,080
burned into those pixels and I cannot
153
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,699
even move the subject I would have to
154
00:05:26,699 --> 00:05:28,500
make a selection remove the text add
155
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:30,300
that back in so all of those
156
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:32,400
flexibilities are gone and that is why
157
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,919
layers are extremely important by the
158
00:05:34,919 --> 00:05:36,479
way another shortcut to merge all of the
159
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:37,919
layers whether you have selected them or
160
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:41,220
not is pressing Ctrl shift and E there
161
00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:43,259
you go I didn't even select all of them
162
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:46,620
and everything is merged if you select
163
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:48,240
some of them for example you selected
164
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,460
the subject and the text layers so let's
165
00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:52,080
select the first one hold the shift key
166
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,699
and select the last one you want to
167
00:05:53,699 --> 00:05:55,500
select in the series I don't want to
168
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:57,180
select the background and then you press
169
00:05:57,180 --> 00:06:00,240
Ctrl or command e only those would be
170
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880
merged so controller command e to merge
171
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,220
this selected list and Ctrl or command
172
00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:07,620
shift and E to merge all of the layers
173
00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:09,240
irrespective of whether you have
174
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,280
selected them or not by now I'm sure you
175
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,660
already know this and I'm so proud of
176
00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:14,520
you but we have to discuss this topic
177
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,039
that is visibility a little more in
178
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:18,840
detail take a look at this project that
179
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:20,759
we did here's the original image by the
180
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:22,560
way how am I doing all of this that is
181
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,960
why this discussion is important on top
182
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,120
of that we removed the blemishes let's
183
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,160
turn on that layer as you can see here's
184
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,380
the before some blemishes are there
185
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:33,720
here's the after blemishes are removed
186
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,280
on top of that we applied some skin
187
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,259
tones we added a little bit of contrast
188
00:06:37,259 --> 00:06:39,240
there was some discoloration on the lips
189
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,819
as you can see right here we fixed that
190
00:06:41,819 --> 00:06:44,520
with discoloration layers on top of that
191
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,259
we did some dodging and burning as you
192
00:06:46,259 --> 00:06:49,500
can see it makes it amazing and on top
193
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:51,840
of that there's some contrast uniforming
194
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,060
the skin tone adding shine to the eyes
195
00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:56,759
real light jaw light
196
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:00,000
we boosted the lip colors we added some
197
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,940
redness to the cheek here's the before
198
00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:05,400
here's the after you see that and we
199
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,400
reduced the overall highlights now why
200
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,080
is visibility important because
201
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,759
sometimes we need to turn off and on
202
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:13,500
layers to see whether we need it or not
203
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,479
or whether we need it in that much
204
00:07:15,479 --> 00:07:18,240
intensity or not in this case let us say
205
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,460
we don't like the eye shine and we want
206
00:07:20,460 --> 00:07:22,380
to turn it off so how do we turn off the
207
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:24,479
visibility think of it this way how do
208
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:26,460
we see how are you watching this video
209
00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:29,460
with our eyes right if we didn't have
210
00:07:29,460 --> 00:07:31,919
eyes we wouldn't see similarly in
211
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:34,860
Photoshop if we didn't have that I we
212
00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:36,780
wouldn't see that layer so when you see
213
00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:39,900
the eye that layer is turned on and when
214
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:42,660
the eye goes away that is not visible so
215
00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:44,580
that's an easy way to remember it to see
216
00:07:44,580 --> 00:07:46,979
or not to see now it is not just limited
217
00:07:46,979 --> 00:07:48,360
to that now let's say you want to see
218
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,039
just that layer and nothing else how do
219
00:07:50,039 --> 00:07:52,199
we make something solo you simply hold
220
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:54,300
the ALT key or the option key click on
221
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:57,419
the I and all of the other eyes just go
222
00:07:57,419 --> 00:07:59,520
away in other words their visibility
223
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,099
goes away now if you hold the ALT key or
224
00:08:02,099 --> 00:08:04,199
the option key again and you click on
225
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:06,419
that I again everything turns back on
226
00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:08,039
let's say in this example you just
227
00:08:08,039 --> 00:08:10,020
wanted to see the subject layer you hold
228
00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:12,240
the ALT key or the option key and click
229
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,699
on the I of the subject layer only that
230
00:08:14,699 --> 00:08:16,560
is turned on everything else turns off
231
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,060
and if you want to set it back to how it
232
00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:19,919
was hold the alt query option key again
233
00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:22,139
and click on the I everything turns back
234
00:08:22,139 --> 00:08:23,819
on let us take it a step further and let
235
00:08:23,819 --> 00:08:25,979
us say layers at random who have turned
236
00:08:25,979 --> 00:08:27,900
off and you want to turn everything back
237
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:30,840
on how do we do that let's right click
238
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,419
on in here and choose show or hide all
239
00:08:33,419 --> 00:08:35,880
other layers click on that do it one
240
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,099
more time and everything is turned on
241
00:08:38,099 --> 00:08:39,479
now did you know in the later versions
242
00:08:39,479 --> 00:08:41,458
of Photoshop you can zoom in to the
243
00:08:41,458 --> 00:08:43,200
contents of a particular layer for
244
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,120
example let's say you're working on the
245
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,339
good text you can hold the ALT key or
246
00:08:47,339 --> 00:08:50,040
the option key and click on the good it
247
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,720
zooms in right there you want to work on
248
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,279
the subject you hold the ALT key or the
249
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:55,440
option key and click on that layer it
250
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,140
zooms into that so whatever you have in
251
00:08:58,140 --> 00:08:59,940
any layer let's create a new layer let's
252
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:01,920
take a brush and just paint some random
253
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,019
stuff right here okay if you hold the
254
00:09:04,019 --> 00:09:05,820
ALT key or the option key and click on
255
00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:07,860
that layer it zooms into that so that's
256
00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:09,480
a funky little feature to help you focus
257
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,920
on a layer now let's say you don't see
258
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,839
the layers panel something came over you
259
00:09:12,839 --> 00:09:15,959
you closed it or it simply went missing
260
00:09:15,959 --> 00:09:17,640
first thing to do is not to panic
261
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,920
secondly if you're missing any panels in
262
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,360
Photoshop all you need to do is to go to
263
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,580
window and make sure that panel is
264
00:09:23,580 --> 00:09:26,220
turned on in this case it is layers just
265
00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:28,440
simply click on it it will show up and
266
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,240
then you can stick it up right over here
267
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,680
now let's understand the concept of
268
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:33,060
background list with a very simple
269
00:09:33,060 --> 00:09:35,339
example so here I've opened an image of
270
00:09:35,339 --> 00:09:37,080
a beautiful texture wonderful light leak
271
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,120
and whenever you open an image or create
272
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,279
a new document with a background it
273
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:43,740
shows up as a background layer and it
274
00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:45,420
has a lock icon right there now what
275
00:09:45,420 --> 00:09:47,519
does that mean let us understand now
276
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,019
let's say you want to apply this texture
277
00:09:49,019 --> 00:09:51,000
or light leak to a particular image
278
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,800
let's open that image let's go to our
279
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,540
finder or Explorer and I'm just going to
280
00:09:54,540 --> 00:09:57,000
drag in and drop in that photo over the
281
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,580
canvas now this is fantastic let's name
282
00:09:59,580 --> 00:10:01,140
this layer how do we name a layer in
283
00:10:01,140 --> 00:10:03,000
Photoshop we double click on the text
284
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,040
and you can name it to whatever you want
285
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,019
however if you try to name the
286
00:10:07,019 --> 00:10:09,060
background layer it won't let you do it
287
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:11,519
unless you convert it into a regular
288
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:13,140
layer and that's what it's doing right
289
00:10:13,140 --> 00:10:15,660
now let's hit cancel for now the other
290
00:10:15,660 --> 00:10:17,519
thing we you want to do is we want the
291
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:19,500
texture to be on top of the subject of
292
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:21,540
course because we want the light leak to
293
00:10:21,540 --> 00:10:23,820
be above the subject but we cannot do
294
00:10:23,820 --> 00:10:26,279
that we cannot change the order so far
295
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:27,839
we have talked about two properties of
296
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:29,519
the background layer you cannot name it
297
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:31,740
you cannot change its stacking order
298
00:10:31,740 --> 00:10:33,899
also when you're adding texture
299
00:10:33,899 --> 00:10:35,700
sometimes you want to reduce the opacity
300
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:37,380
but you cannot do that with the
301
00:10:37,380 --> 00:10:39,180
background layer you cannot even change
302
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:41,279
the blend mode which we have to do to
303
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:42,959
apply that texture so basically the
304
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:44,220
background layer is something that is
305
00:10:44,220 --> 00:10:45,720
meant to stay in the background and
306
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,180
absolutely prevent transparency for
307
00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:49,740
example let's turn off the subject layer
308
00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:52,320
for a moment if you take the Eraser and
309
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,380
even if you try to erase it just paints
310
00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:57,060
it white you know why it paints it white
311
00:10:57,060 --> 00:10:58,680
because the background color is white
312
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:00,720
have a look right here the square at the
313
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,459
top is the foreground color the square
314
00:11:02,459 --> 00:11:04,200
at the back is the background color now
315
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,399
if you click on it and set the
316
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:06,779
background color to something else for
317
00:11:06,779 --> 00:11:09,180
example red and then if you select the
318
00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:11,279
Eraser tool right here and you try to
319
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:14,220
erase it it will turn red so at any cost
320
00:11:14,220 --> 00:11:16,800
the background lab prevents transparency
321
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,360
and that is why you cannot even move it
322
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,740
so if you choose the move tool right
323
00:11:19,740 --> 00:11:21,300
here and if you try to move it it won't
324
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:23,459
let you move it there you go it shows
325
00:11:23,459 --> 00:11:24,839
the error now how do we get around it
326
00:11:24,839 --> 00:11:26,339
you guessed it right we have to convert
327
00:11:26,339 --> 00:11:28,019
the background layer into a regular
328
00:11:28,019 --> 00:11:29,940
layer there are lots of ways to do it
329
00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:32,399
the easiest way is simply clicking on
330
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:34,320
the lock right here now it's unlocked
331
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,720
layer zero also you can double click on
332
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,640
it name the letter whatever you want for
333
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,000
example let's name it light leak hit OK
334
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,100
and there you have the lightly clear so
335
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:45,959
any of the ways you can use now let's
336
00:11:45,959 --> 00:11:48,360
bring the subject under the light leak
337
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,339
now we want the light leak to interact
338
00:11:50,339 --> 00:11:51,959
with the layers beneath of course we can
339
00:11:51,959 --> 00:11:54,120
decrease the opacity and that looks okay
340
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,220
but we wanted to interact and how do we
341
00:11:56,220 --> 00:11:57,540
make the layers interact with other
342
00:11:57,540 --> 00:11:59,579
layers in various ways and here my
343
00:11:59,579 --> 00:12:01,500
friend is your introduction to blending
344
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:03,480
modes or blend modes and what does blend
345
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,399
modes do the answer is in the question
346
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:08,160
it Blends the layer in various ways so
347
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,140
click on the drop down right here and
348
00:12:10,140 --> 00:12:12,000
you can choose whatever blend mode you
349
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,040
want and as you hover through it it's
350
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,720
going to give you a preview of how each
351
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,040
blend mode is going to look like now
352
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,600
blend mode is a whole different lesson
353
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,040
which we'll cover in the future I also
354
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,200
have a video on 27 blend modes and what
355
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,540
they do scientifically right here they
356
00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:26,160
have several videos on blend modes but
357
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,839
we'll cover it as a part of this course
358
00:12:27,839 --> 00:12:30,420
for right now just know that screen
359
00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:31,339
brightness
360
00:12:31,339 --> 00:12:35,279
multiply darkens overlay adds contrast
361
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:37,440
and normal blend mode is the regular
362
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,300
normal blend mode shows the image the
363
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:40,620
way it is and then you have other blend
364
00:12:40,620 --> 00:12:42,420
modes like color which colors the image
365
00:12:42,420 --> 00:12:44,459
according to that layer and there's a
366
00:12:44,459 --> 00:12:46,380
plethora of those for right now let's
367
00:12:46,380 --> 00:12:48,779
choose screen and there you have it a
368
00:12:48,779 --> 00:12:50,760
wonderful light leak texture but this is
369
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,440
too much how do we make the layers more
370
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,540
transparent you already know this and
371
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:56,940
that is opacity simply decrease the
372
00:12:56,940 --> 00:12:58,680
opacity in this case I'm going to go for
373
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:01,139
76 that works perfectly now what if you
374
00:13:01,139 --> 00:13:02,639
wanted you don't really have to but what
375
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:04,560
if you wanted to convert the subject
376
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,839
layer into a background layer so that it
377
00:13:06,839 --> 00:13:08,760
just doesn't move around you cannot
378
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,740
change the opacity or the blend mode how
379
00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:12,540
can we do that all you need to do is to
380
00:13:12,540 --> 00:13:15,360
go to layer new and choose background
381
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,920
from layer make sure that layer is
382
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,839
selected first of all if you pick that
383
00:13:18,839 --> 00:13:20,579
and there you go this is now a
384
00:13:20,579 --> 00:13:22,320
background layer you cannot move it it
385
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,899
will show you an error you cannot erase
386
00:13:24,899 --> 00:13:26,940
things because now it will paint it with
387
00:13:26,940 --> 00:13:28,860
the background color you cannot change
388
00:13:28,860 --> 00:13:31,380
the opacity or the blend mode so that's
389
00:13:31,380 --> 00:13:33,899
how the full circle works now I need to
390
00:13:33,899 --> 00:13:35,579
point this out ideally we would open the
391
00:13:35,579 --> 00:13:37,680
subject Image First and on top of that
392
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:39,540
we would bring in the overlay but I did
393
00:13:39,540 --> 00:13:41,459
it in reverse order just to explain how
394
00:13:41,459 --> 00:13:43,560
background layers work now this is what
395
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:44,880
you would do you would open the subject
396
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,220
image and on top of that you would bring
397
00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:50,160
in the light leak like this now the
398
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,260
reason I'm showing you this again is
399
00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:54,480
that this is right now a smart art
400
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,279
object we can cover smart object later
401
00:13:56,279 --> 00:13:58,320
but you should know that smart objects
402
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,360
look like this it's like a layer but
403
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,800
with this icon and one of the
404
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,540
limitations of smart objects is that you
405
00:14:03,540 --> 00:14:05,279
cannot paint on it you cannot change the
406
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:07,560
pixels so if you take the brush try to
407
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:09,240
paint on it it won't let you do it it
408
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,860
will ask you to convert that layer into
409
00:14:10,860 --> 00:14:12,720
a regular layer if you try the smudge
410
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,639
tool it just won't work if you try the
411
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:16,740
healing tools it won't work in any way
412
00:14:16,740 --> 00:14:18,899
it won't let you change the pixels so in
413
00:14:18,899 --> 00:14:20,279
that case you would have to convert this
414
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:22,740
layer into a regular raster layer right
415
00:14:22,740 --> 00:14:24,959
click on it and then choose rasterize
416
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:26,639
layer and now you can do whatever you
417
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:28,380
want for example first of all let's
418
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,480
change the blend mode to screen like it
419
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,639
was before change the opacity to about
420
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:35,040
80 percent and right now let's say I
421
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,720
don't like the lines on top of the face
422
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,700
so I just want to erase it so I would
423
00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:40,920
choose the spot healing brush tool click
424
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,139
and hold on the patch group choose the
425
00:14:43,139 --> 00:14:44,940
spot healing brush tool you want to make
426
00:14:44,940 --> 00:14:47,160
sure you sample just this layer not the
427
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,860
layer beneath so let's turn it off and
428
00:14:49,860 --> 00:14:51,480
just paint on the spots you want to
429
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,519
remove there you go they're gone
430
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:56,180
so easy
431
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,980
from right here as well
432
00:14:58,980 --> 00:15:00,720
there you go so whenever you're adding
433
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,420
texture this is an important tip you
434
00:15:03,420 --> 00:15:06,480
don't want a lot over the face
435
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,519
there you are but you have to keep it
436
00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:10,199
natural at the same time by the way I
437
00:15:10,199 --> 00:15:11,760
got this light leak from envato elements
438
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,320
it's a platform I highly recommend
439
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,660
unlike many other stock platforms you
440
00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:17,399
can just pay a monthly fee and get
441
00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:19,860
access to unlimited assets millions of
442
00:15:19,860 --> 00:15:21,839
assets like leaks photoshop brushes
443
00:15:21,839 --> 00:15:23,880
Photoshop plugins as well images stock
444
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,100
videos and the list just goes on so
445
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:27,600
check it out for the latest offers and
446
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:28,920
discounts check the links in the
447
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,240
description you should know some quick
448
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,160
shortcuts for opacity for a quick check
449
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,899
for example right here the opacity is
450
00:15:33,899 --> 00:15:37,440
set to 80 if you have any non-brushing
451
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,100
tools selected And I stress this again
452
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:42,060
non-brushing tool for example the move
453
00:15:42,060 --> 00:15:44,519
tool right here if you press any number
454
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:46,980
for example you pressed four opacities
455
00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:49,620
right now 40. if you pressed seven
456
00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:52,500
opacity 70 if you pressed eight opacity
457
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:54,959
is 80. so it's a good way to check so
458
00:15:54,959 --> 00:16:00,480
this is how it looks with 30 60 40 90.
459
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,060
maybe I like something around 70. now if
460
00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:04,380
you press two numbers quickly in
461
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:06,180
succession the opacity would be that for
462
00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:09,000
example 74 press 7 and 4 quickly now
463
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:15,000
it's 74. four five it's 45. 75 75.
464
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,839
96 96 so pressing it
465
00:16:18,839 --> 00:16:21,360
with a little Gap in time
466
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,139
sets it to that for example 7 is 70 4 is
467
00:16:25,139 --> 00:16:28,440
40 but press quickly for example 4 6 now
468
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,720
it's 46. now do keep in mind that if you
469
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,699
have any of the brushing tools selected
470
00:16:32,699 --> 00:16:34,139
for example the brush tool right here
471
00:16:34,139 --> 00:16:37,560
that has opacity in the options bar if
472
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,240
you press the shortcuts for example you
473
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,699
pressed five it changes the opacity of
474
00:16:41,699 --> 00:16:44,279
the two three for thirty eight for
475
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:47,880
eighty five six quickly for 56 all right
476
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,459
similarly for the pencil tool as well it
477
00:16:50,459 --> 00:16:55,160
will do the same 30 50 56 all right
478
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,320
similarly for the mixer brush or any of
479
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,940
the brushing tools even the art history
480
00:16:59,940 --> 00:17:01,980
or the history brush tool those are
481
00:17:01,980 --> 00:17:03,540
tools that you wouldn't use the art
482
00:17:03,540 --> 00:17:05,699
history and the history so much but you
483
00:17:05,699 --> 00:17:07,260
get the point these are important ones
484
00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:08,819
like the mixer brush and the brush too
485
00:17:08,819 --> 00:17:11,400
so make sure you're not in any of the
486
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,839
tools where you have opacity in the
487
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,000
options bar only then when you press the
488
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,520
shortcuts the opacity of the layers
489
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,980
change another shortcut that applies not
490
00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:21,959
just to opacity but any new numeric
491
00:17:21,959 --> 00:17:23,819
parameter in Photoshop is this if you
492
00:17:23,819 --> 00:17:26,280
hover the mouse over that parameter text
493
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,799
in this case it is the opacity if you
494
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:31,140
click and drag to the right it increases
495
00:17:31,140 --> 00:17:33,480
if you click and drag to the left it
496
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,160
decreases and you can easily tell when
497
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,840
the cursor turns into a pointing hand
498
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,940
with two arrows on either side similarly
499
00:17:38,940 --> 00:17:40,919
with any other parameter for example
500
00:17:40,919 --> 00:17:44,039
fill you can decrease it and increase it
501
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:46,799
by the way what is fill and how is it
502
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:49,799
different again fill is a very vast
503
00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:51,960
topic and we will cover it in the next
504
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,580
lesson you can do some incredible
505
00:17:53,580 --> 00:17:55,320
incredible effects with it and we will
506
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,760
have some fun projects too another
507
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,380
shortcut if you hold the shift key and
508
00:17:58,380 --> 00:17:59,640
then if you click and drag to the right
509
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,520
or left it goes very quickly so quickly
510
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,380
with just little movements it is now
511
00:18:04,380 --> 00:18:07,380
zero and just with a little movement it
512
00:18:07,380 --> 00:18:10,320
is at 100 however if you hold the ALT
513
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,419
key and then if you click and drag or
514
00:18:12,419 --> 00:18:14,880
the option key on a Mac it happens very
515
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,940
very slowly like this much movement got
516
00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:21,000
me to zero and this much movement gets
517
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,160
me to hundred so for final adjustments
518
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,840
hold the ALT key and for quick
519
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,179
adjustments hold the shift key as you
520
00:18:27,179 --> 00:18:28,980
drag in that opacity and for normal
521
00:18:28,980 --> 00:18:31,080
speed and don't press anything now let's
522
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,780
talk about the concept of transparency
523
00:18:32,780 --> 00:18:35,640
transparency is denoted by Checker boxes
524
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,400
in Photoshop so if we take an eraser and
525
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,140
try to erase the white background it is
526
00:18:40,140 --> 00:18:42,059
not doing anything actually it is doing
527
00:18:42,059 --> 00:18:43,500
something it's painting it in white
528
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:45,840
because the background color is white so
529
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,340
let's change the background color to
530
00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:49,860
something else for example green and if
531
00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:52,740
we try to erase it it's not making it
532
00:18:52,740 --> 00:18:55,380
transparent why because this is a
533
00:18:55,380 --> 00:18:57,299
background layer we just learned it so
534
00:18:57,299 --> 00:18:58,740
let's turn this layer into a regular
535
00:18:58,740 --> 00:19:01,620
layer by simply clicking on this lock
536
00:19:01,620 --> 00:19:04,140
right now if you take the Eraser and you
537
00:19:04,140 --> 00:19:06,120
try to erase it have a look right here
538
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:09,000
there is nothingness and nothingness is
539
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,100
shown with Checker boxes like this now
540
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:12,419
how do we remove the background right
541
00:19:12,419 --> 00:19:14,280
here very quickly since all of the
542
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,080
background is white we can easily use
543
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,900
the magic wand tool the magic wand tool
544
00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:21,360
simply selects similar colors so let's
545
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:24,419
pick that and now make sure tolerance is
546
00:19:24,419 --> 00:19:26,580
around 20 that is fine and the settings
547
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,200
are the same as what you see right here
548
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,799
and click on the white areas and all of
549
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:33,660
the white areas are now selected you can
550
00:19:33,660 --> 00:19:36,059
simply press the delete key and now it
551
00:19:36,059 --> 00:19:37,919
is transparent now you might really ask
552
00:19:37,919 --> 00:19:40,020
what is tolerance and mesh well it is
553
00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:41,400
easy to understand let's say you're
554
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,020
throwing your birthday party all right
555
00:19:43,020 --> 00:19:45,480
and you have food enough for a
556
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,700
particular number of people and that is
557
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:49,559
your tolerance the amount of food you
558
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:52,380
have is your tolerance now you called a
559
00:19:52,380 --> 00:19:54,600
friend she came over but she brought
560
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,400
another Fender first and you're like
561
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,419
okay
562
00:19:57,419 --> 00:19:59,520
I didn't invite her but that's fine I
563
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,980
have enough food that is your tolerance
564
00:20:01,980 --> 00:20:04,440
now what if that friend brings one more
565
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,080
friend you're still like okay I have
566
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,539
enough food it will be all right but
567
00:20:09,539 --> 00:20:11,760
let's say that friend brings four
568
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,679
another more friends
569
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:15,720
and you're like okay now this is not
570
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,460
gonna work we would have to get more
571
00:20:17,460 --> 00:20:18,900
food probably
572
00:20:18,900 --> 00:20:21,780
similarly in Photoshop tolerance is the
573
00:20:21,780 --> 00:20:23,520
amount of food you have and the amount
574
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,620
of colors you can feed or in other words
575
00:20:25,620 --> 00:20:29,039
select so if the tolerance is one right
576
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:30,840
here we have a gradient from purple to
577
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,880
Blue right if we click right here only
578
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,100
that one friend comes in that is very
579
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,320
close to you he or she cannot bring
580
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,539
other friends which are similar to them
581
00:20:39,539 --> 00:20:41,880
but if the tolerance is higher like
582
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,240
let's say 10 and then if you click more
583
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,740
friends can come in because you have
584
00:20:46,740 --> 00:20:49,260
more food right now if the tolerance is
585
00:20:49,260 --> 00:20:52,140
at 40 and if you click right here more
586
00:20:52,140 --> 00:20:54,780
similar colors get selected so you get
587
00:20:54,780 --> 00:20:56,640
the idea of Tolerance now it is simply
588
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,460
how much similar colors can the
589
00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:01,500
selection select or in other words
590
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:03,539
tolerate so once you have the background
591
00:21:03,539 --> 00:21:06,600
taken out you can save this as a PNG not
592
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,580
a jpeg because jpeg does not support
593
00:21:08,580 --> 00:21:10,080
transparency it will have a white
594
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,820
background if you save it as a JPEG so
595
00:21:11,820 --> 00:21:13,320
let's go to file of course you can
596
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,720
choose save a copy and save it as a PNG
597
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,240
you can also go to export and choose
598
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,000
export has also quick export as a PNG
599
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,220
choose export as there's so many ways to
600
00:21:23,220 --> 00:21:25,140
do the same thing in Photoshop let us
601
00:21:25,140 --> 00:21:27,000
choose the format as PNG that is fine
602
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,220
width and height is fine you can also
603
00:21:29,220 --> 00:21:31,440
choose to convert it to srgb which is
604
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,780
the standard color profile and embed the
605
00:21:33,780 --> 00:21:35,760
color profile click on export let's save
606
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,880
it as be transparent there you go now
607
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,380
whenever you have any image where you
608
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:42,419
want to bring in the B as an asset you
609
00:21:42,419 --> 00:21:44,159
can open that image and on top of that
610
00:21:44,159 --> 00:21:46,380
if you bring the regular image the white
611
00:21:46,380 --> 00:21:48,419
background will come with it of course
612
00:21:48,419 --> 00:21:50,400
but if you bring the transparent one
613
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,220
only the B will come in so I deleted
614
00:21:53,220 --> 00:21:54,780
that layer and we'll learn how to delete
615
00:21:54,780 --> 00:21:57,720
layers later so let's drag it and drop
616
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,059
it right here there we go just the beep
617
00:22:00,059 --> 00:22:02,640
looks fantastic in this one time for us
618
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,080
to do a fun project and with this we'll
619
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,700
learn the basic functions of the layers
620
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:07,740
panel now we'll cover an effect which is
621
00:22:07,740 --> 00:22:09,659
very popular especially with a later
622
00:22:09,659 --> 00:22:12,659
iPhone wallpapers text behind the
623
00:22:12,659 --> 00:22:14,520
subject and we have seen it everywhere
624
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,559
it's high in demand let us do it so when
625
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:18,120
you look at this image this image looks
626
00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:20,039
a little tilted or crooked so let's
627
00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:21,659
select the crop tool the shortcut to
628
00:22:21,659 --> 00:22:24,840
which is C you can also click right here
629
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,539
but always remember shortcuts and how do
630
00:22:27,539 --> 00:22:28,919
you find the shortcuts if you click and
631
00:22:28,919 --> 00:22:31,260
hold it just says right there for
632
00:22:31,260 --> 00:22:33,120
example the shortcut for the brush tool
633
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:35,159
you click and hold it says right there
634
00:22:35,159 --> 00:22:37,980
that is B crop tool is C all right now
635
00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:39,780
once the crop tool is selected at the
636
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:41,640
top you have the straighten button right
637
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,620
here click on that and draw a straight
638
00:22:43,620 --> 00:22:45,360
line along the thing which should have
639
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:47,100
been straight so I'm going to create a
640
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:48,840
straight line along this and this is
641
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,419
about straight it was showing zero
642
00:22:51,419 --> 00:22:53,520
degrees so what is crooked let's go back
643
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,500
to how it was so what is really crooked
644
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:58,260
as you can see the matte is crooked The
645
00:22:58,260 --> 00:22:59,580
Horizon is straight but the mat is
646
00:22:59,580 --> 00:23:01,679
crooked how do we fix this first of all
647
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:03,360
let us make a copy of the background
648
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:05,039
layer and here's the first basic
649
00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:07,500
function how do we duplicate a layer we
650
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:09,299
simply do that by pressing Ctrl or
651
00:23:09,299 --> 00:23:10,740
command J
652
00:23:10,740 --> 00:23:13,500
we make a copy of the layer that was
653
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:15,240
selected again I'm going to repeat that
654
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,860
again for you select the background
655
00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:19,080
layer or any layer you want to create a
656
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,600
duplicate off and press Ctrl or command
657
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,480
J now another long way of doing that if
658
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,640
you are charging by the hour is simply
659
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,640
going to layer new and choose layer wire
660
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,919
copy have a look at the shortcut Ctrl or
661
00:23:31,919 --> 00:23:33,720
command J there you go now here's
662
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,760
another basic function if you apply any
663
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,740
filter to it by going to filter let's
664
00:23:37,740 --> 00:23:40,500
say noise and add noise let's add a lot
665
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:43,320
of noise it is burned into the pixels
666
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,419
you cannot reduce the filters later you
667
00:23:45,419 --> 00:23:47,400
cannot change the values later so you're
668
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,559
stuck so how do we fix this first of all
669
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:51,120
let's go back by pressing Ctrl or
670
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:53,039
command Z or Z
671
00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:55,080
now right click on that layer and choose
672
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,720
convert to Smart object or you can also
673
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,340
go to filter and choose convert for
674
00:23:59,340 --> 00:24:01,440
smart filters both will do the same
675
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,419
thing and it will convert the layer into
676
00:24:03,419 --> 00:24:05,400
a smart object hit ok now we're going to
677
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,200
discuss the advantages of smart objects
678
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,299
later but one of the major advantage is
679
00:24:09,299 --> 00:24:11,700
that if you add any filter in this case
680
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:13,559
let's go to noise and then add noise
681
00:24:13,559 --> 00:24:16,980
again hit OK it adds as a smart filter
682
00:24:16,980 --> 00:24:19,320
now you can double click on it and
683
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,820
change the value to whatever you like
684
00:24:20,820 --> 00:24:23,700
you can also delete the smart filter by
685
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:26,039
dragging it and dropping it to the trash
686
00:24:26,039 --> 00:24:28,500
can right and that's also how you delete
687
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:31,380
a layer so another basic function how do
688
00:24:31,380 --> 00:24:33,780
we delete a layer let's drag it and drop
689
00:24:33,780 --> 00:24:35,640
it into the trash can one more way of
690
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,440
deleting the layer simply selecting the
691
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,480
layer and pressing the delete key it
692
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,400
also deletes the layer and yes of course
693
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,200
with the layer selected you can click on
694
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,240
the trash can icon it also deletes it
695
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,100
but it shows up this warning if you
696
00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:48,720
don't want to see it check don't show
697
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,360
again and click on yes to take it away
698
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,039
so again let's press controller command
699
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:54,900
J to make a copy and let's name this
700
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:57,179
layer fixed we'll fix it now let's
701
00:24:57,179 --> 00:24:58,740
convert this layer into a smart object
702
00:24:58,740 --> 00:25:00,840
by going to filter convert for smart
703
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,000
filters hit ok now let's apply a filter
704
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,860
that is so amazing that there can be a
705
00:25:04,860 --> 00:25:06,659
class for it let's go to filter and that
706
00:25:06,659 --> 00:25:10,080
is the camera raw filter now of course
707
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,760
you have all of those basic functions
708
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,559
like exposure contrast highlights
709
00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:15,659
shadows and all of that let's collapse
710
00:25:15,659 --> 00:25:17,460
these settings for now scroll down and
711
00:25:17,460 --> 00:25:20,159
go to geometry and inside of that click
712
00:25:20,159 --> 00:25:22,980
on this button right here now we know
713
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:24,720
that this is straight so draw a straight
714
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,820
line across it
715
00:25:26,820 --> 00:25:28,799
there you go
716
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:31,080
and we want to straighten this thing so
717
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,240
let's draw a straight line across this
718
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,440
one
719
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,140
and it will make it straight hit OK once
720
00:25:37,140 --> 00:25:38,400
you're satisfied and the best part is
721
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,260
this is a smart filter you can double
722
00:25:40,260 --> 00:25:42,779
click on it and change the stuff right
723
00:25:42,779 --> 00:25:44,520
here click on draw guides and you can
724
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,500
change the lines let's hit cancel for
725
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:48,059
now now to put the text behind we have
726
00:25:48,059 --> 00:25:50,279
to have the subject at the top so let's
727
00:25:50,279 --> 00:25:52,080
make a copy of the fixed layer press
728
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,120
Ctrl or command J and let's name this
729
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:56,580
layer subject now we want to Simply mask
730
00:25:56,580 --> 00:25:58,799
out the background from this one so that
731
00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:01,620
only the subject stays so let's select
732
00:26:01,620 --> 00:26:03,419
any of these three selection tools the
733
00:26:03,419 --> 00:26:04,980
magic tool the quick selection or the
734
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:07,740
object selection two and once you do at
735
00:26:07,740 --> 00:26:09,360
the top you will see select subject
736
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:11,520
click on that and it will make a pretty
737
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,020
good selection of the subject however
738
00:26:13,020 --> 00:26:15,659
it's not very very accurate so to make
739
00:26:15,659 --> 00:26:17,880
it more accurate here's another tip for
740
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,380
the later versions of Photoshop and that
741
00:26:19,380 --> 00:26:21,419
is if you click on the drop down right
742
00:26:21,419 --> 00:26:23,400
next to select subject you will have the
743
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,559
option to process it in the cloud so if
744
00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:27,120
you're not too concerned about privacy
745
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,779
it will be safe I don't know but it's up
746
00:26:30,779 --> 00:26:32,880
to you do it at your own risk so choose
747
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,400
Cloud click on select subject it does a
748
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,260
better selection and it creates a better
749
00:26:37,260 --> 00:26:39,840
result so as you can see it is
750
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,820
better have a look at this it is much
751
00:26:41,820 --> 00:26:43,620
better than the previous one so once you
752
00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:45,720
have the selection active you want to
753
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,360
click on this button that creates a mask
754
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:50,700
or in other words a cutout so right here
755
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:52,500
as you can see white are the areas that
756
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:54,240
show up and black are the areas that
757
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,220
hide right now you cannot see it because
758
00:26:56,220 --> 00:26:57,779
other layers are turned on but if you
759
00:26:57,779 --> 00:27:00,000
hold the ALT key or the option key click
760
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,159
on the eye and only keep that turned on
761
00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:03,779
you can see it properly as you can see
762
00:27:03,779 --> 00:27:05,520
the subject is white so you can see that
763
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,620
and the background is black therefore
764
00:27:07,620 --> 00:27:09,360
you cannot see it let's turn everything
765
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:11,039
back on hold the ALT key of the option
766
00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:13,799
key click on the I now just behind this
767
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:16,020
we want our text by the way if you don't
768
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:17,520
want to see the smart filters if you
769
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,980
want to just hide it in click on this
770
00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:21,240
Arrow right there
771
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,100
There You Go hidden let's select the
772
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:25,020
layer beneath it choose the text tool
773
00:27:25,020 --> 00:27:27,480
and click to type in now it's very small
774
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,460
let's make it larger like this so that
775
00:27:29,460 --> 00:27:32,880
we can see as we type type in stay
776
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,220
centered all right let's make it larger
777
00:27:35,220 --> 00:27:37,320
select the move tool press Ctrl or
778
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,500
command D and let's make it larger like
779
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:41,340
that
780
00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:43,380
now this is behind the subject but
781
00:27:43,380 --> 00:27:45,840
there's an issue the background is too
782
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,460
bright and we cannot even see the text
783
00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:49,200
so how do we create an adjustment so
784
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,820
that all of the layers under it become
785
00:27:50,820 --> 00:27:53,940
darker simply by creating an adjustment
786
00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:56,100
layer and how do we create an adjustment
787
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:58,620
layer simply by clicking on the
788
00:27:58,620 --> 00:28:00,120
adjustment layer icon which is this
789
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:01,799
circle with half gray or white and half
790
00:28:01,799 --> 00:28:04,200
black click on that and then choose
791
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,940
exposure for now you can also choose
792
00:28:05,940 --> 00:28:07,919
curves that is a little more advanced
793
00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:09,720
for now keep it simple and choose
794
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,240
exposure and we wanted it behind the
795
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,039
text so let's bring it behind the text
796
00:28:14,039 --> 00:28:17,340
and simply decrease the exposure there
797
00:28:17,340 --> 00:28:19,679
you go that text is now visible let's
798
00:28:19,679 --> 00:28:23,159
keep it 0.5 minus 0.5 and that's just
799
00:28:23,159 --> 00:28:25,020
perfect now the stay centered text
800
00:28:25,020 --> 00:28:26,880
definitely needs to stay centered and
801
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,320
how do we make that happen we already
802
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,419
learned about it in lesson one so after
803
00:28:30,419 --> 00:28:32,400
this video If you haven't watched watch
804
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,679
that simply with the move tool selected
805
00:28:34,679 --> 00:28:36,960
make sure inside of the three dots
806
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,480
aligned to Canvas is selected and then
807
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,400
you can Center it according to the can
808
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,559
this right here click on this button or
809
00:28:43,559 --> 00:28:45,179
click on this button to align it to the
810
00:28:45,179 --> 00:28:46,559
left but right now nothing is happening
811
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:48,779
you know why because the exposure layer
812
00:28:48,779 --> 00:28:50,700
is selected not the stay centered layer
813
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:52,620
you can Center it horizontally you can
814
00:28:52,620 --> 00:28:54,600
align it to the left to the right center
815
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,000
it vertically up to you so I'm going to
816
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,440
set it to how it was
817
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,360
this way now let's add a little more
818
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,039
text right here let's say this is a live
819
00:29:02,039 --> 00:29:04,020
class and by the way we want the subject
820
00:29:04,020 --> 00:29:05,940
to be centered as well and for it we
821
00:29:05,940 --> 00:29:08,159
have to stretch the image press C for
822
00:29:08,159 --> 00:29:09,840
the crop 2 and you want to make sure
823
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,120
delete cropped pixels is checked off we
824
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,980
don't want to do that and Center it so
825
00:29:13,980 --> 00:29:16,140
that the subject is in the center I
826
00:29:16,140 --> 00:29:18,059
stretched it a little bit
827
00:29:18,059 --> 00:29:19,980
now what about the rest of the areas of
828
00:29:19,980 --> 00:29:21,360
course you can fill it with a lot of
829
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,980
tools that are coming up in Photoshop
830
00:29:22,980 --> 00:29:24,960
but you know what nobody's gonna notice
831
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,240
all you need to do is select the fixed
832
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,039
layer where you had fixed it now you
833
00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:30,899
should know that we cannot change the
834
00:29:30,899 --> 00:29:32,880
pixels of the smart object so here's
835
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,399
another basic function let's say you
836
00:29:35,399 --> 00:29:38,940
selected an area and this whole area and
837
00:29:38,940 --> 00:29:40,799
you want this area to be on a separate
838
00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:42,899
layer all by itself how do we make that
839
00:29:42,899 --> 00:29:45,240
happen once you make that selection and
840
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,500
we made that selection with the
841
00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:48,120
rectangular Marquee two I'm going to do
842
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,700
that again for you so we selected the
843
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:53,039
rectangular Marquee 2 and we made a
844
00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:55,740
selection with the fixed layer selected
845
00:29:55,740 --> 00:29:58,860
and then pressed Ctrl or command J that
846
00:29:58,860 --> 00:30:00,960
is the same shortcut as creating a
847
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,520
duplicate layer and when you do have a
848
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,059
selection only that area goes into the
849
00:30:06,059 --> 00:30:08,279
other layer press controller command D
850
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:10,679
and I want to stretch it but if I try to
851
00:30:10,679 --> 00:30:12,960
do that it just makes everything larger
852
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,159
so how do we make sure it doesn't
853
00:30:14,159 --> 00:30:16,500
maintain the aspect ratio we hold the
854
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:19,740
shift key and then just stretch it trust
855
00:30:19,740 --> 00:30:21,539
me nobody's going to notice unless you
856
00:30:21,539 --> 00:30:23,220
tell them this is perfect now again of
857
00:30:23,220 --> 00:30:24,419
course you have to Center the stay
858
00:30:24,419 --> 00:30:26,820
centered text so select that with the
859
00:30:26,820 --> 00:30:28,559
move tool selected Center it
860
00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:30,179
horizontally now let's add some more
861
00:30:30,179 --> 00:30:31,740
text right here with the text tool
862
00:30:31,740 --> 00:30:33,539
selected let's click right here let's
863
00:30:33,539 --> 00:30:35,720
say this is a live show let's type in
864
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,539
Tuesdays at 7am maybe or 8 am up to you
865
00:30:39,539 --> 00:30:41,700
whenever you wake up let's keep it that
866
00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:43,860
way and change the font double click on
867
00:30:43,860 --> 00:30:45,720
the T to select all of it I'm going to
868
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,399
have Poppins it's one of my favorite
869
00:30:47,399 --> 00:30:48,919
fonts
870
00:30:48,919 --> 00:30:52,679
bold this is nice press controller
871
00:30:52,679 --> 00:30:54,600
command D with the move tool selected
872
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,720
and let's make it smaller and set it
873
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,760
right over here let's make it a little
874
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,740
more smaller there you go you want to
875
00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:04,440
see all of it this is perfect now we
876
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,059
want to add a little more text on the
877
00:31:06,059 --> 00:31:08,039
right as well and we want the same size
878
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:10,980
so again another basic function you can
879
00:31:10,980 --> 00:31:13,440
hold the ALT key or the option key click
880
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,520
and drag
881
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,919
it makes a copy and now you have a copy
882
00:31:16,919 --> 00:31:18,899
of that layer similarly right here as
883
00:31:18,899 --> 00:31:20,760
well you have the subject layer right if
884
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,260
you hold the ALT key or the option key
885
00:31:22,260 --> 00:31:25,020
click and drag you have another layer
886
00:31:25,020 --> 00:31:26,820
right here all right so that's the
887
00:31:26,820 --> 00:31:28,440
shortcut to do a copy
888
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,200
do you want it to be on the same line
889
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,980
and double click on the T type in join
890
00:31:34,980 --> 00:31:38,240
us live
891
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:41,580
there you are love is fine too let's
892
00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:43,020
have it on the right hand side double
893
00:31:43,020 --> 00:31:45,000
click on the D and let's have it some
894
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,919
red color something like this is fine
895
00:31:46,919 --> 00:31:49,020
okay also if you want to make sure
896
00:31:49,020 --> 00:31:50,640
everything is aligned properly you can
897
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,279
go to view and make sure snap is checked
898
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:55,380
and you can snap to everything so right
899
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:56,820
now what happens is whenever you try to
900
00:31:56,820 --> 00:31:59,039
move something and something is in the
901
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:00,960
same line it will snap to it and it will
902
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,600
indicate it with those pink lines so I
903
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,279
want this to be in the same line there
904
00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:07,799
you go now they're in the same line
905
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:09,899
and once they're on the same line you
906
00:32:09,899 --> 00:32:11,820
can hold the shift key and then when you
907
00:32:11,820 --> 00:32:14,520
move it it moves in the same line there
908
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,159
you go now it snaps to the end of d as
909
00:32:17,159 --> 00:32:18,960
well properly so that's a quick tip now
910
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,159
if you want to make it a little more
911
00:32:20,159 --> 00:32:21,840
fancy let's add some grain to the
912
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,700
background and to do that we have to
913
00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:25,620
create a new layer and let's learn a new
914
00:32:25,620 --> 00:32:27,779
way to create a new layer press Ctrl
915
00:32:27,779 --> 00:32:30,419
shift n command shift n on a Mac the new
916
00:32:30,419 --> 00:32:31,799
layer dialog box is going to show up
917
00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:33,899
let's name it grain you don't have to
918
00:32:33,899 --> 00:32:35,820
understand much right now just change
919
00:32:35,820 --> 00:32:38,039
the blend mode from normal to Overlay
920
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:39,659
just know that over laser blend mode
921
00:32:39,659 --> 00:32:41,940
which hides anything that is 50 Gray
922
00:32:41,940 --> 00:32:43,740
absolutely neutral gray if you have
923
00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:45,960
anything brighter than neutral gray it
924
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,880
will make that area brighter if you have
925
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,580
any color darker than 50 great will make
926
00:32:50,580 --> 00:32:53,279
that area darker so let's choose overlay
927
00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:55,200
and choose fill with overlay neutral
928
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,020
color which is 50 Gray check that hit OK
929
00:32:58,020 --> 00:32:59,940
that way you have a new layer called
930
00:32:59,940 --> 00:33:02,580
green and it is filled with gray you
931
00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:03,960
cannot see it because the blend mode is
932
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,179
set to Overlay and overlay hides
933
00:33:06,179 --> 00:33:09,299
everything that is 50 gray if the blend
934
00:33:09,299 --> 00:33:11,159
mode was normal this is what you would
935
00:33:11,159 --> 00:33:13,679
see let's change it back to Overlay now
936
00:33:13,679 --> 00:33:15,419
before adding any filter to it what do
937
00:33:15,419 --> 00:33:18,059
we do we change this layer into a smart
938
00:33:18,059 --> 00:33:19,799
object y so that we can change the
939
00:33:19,799 --> 00:33:21,419
values of the filter later
940
00:33:21,419 --> 00:33:23,460
so let's select that layer go to filter
941
00:33:23,460 --> 00:33:26,640
convert for smart filters hit ok now
942
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,279
let's go to filter noise and add noise
943
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:31,799
let's add a lot of noise at about 40
944
00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:34,620
right 40 make sure uniform is checked
945
00:33:34,620 --> 00:33:36,779
you can also try gaussian and see what
946
00:33:36,779 --> 00:33:38,880
kind of results it creates if this is
947
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,200
something you like you can go with it
948
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,899
for me uniform is fine I don't want to
949
00:33:42,899 --> 00:33:45,600
add color noise so choose monochromatic
950
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,340
and hit OK
951
00:33:47,340 --> 00:33:49,980
let's check that again hit ok now the
952
00:33:49,980 --> 00:33:52,559
noise is very very sharp if you want to
953
00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:54,480
blur it a little bit let's go to filter
954
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,960
blur and then gaussian blur let's add
955
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,640
about 0.8 0.8 or 0.6 up to you 0.8 is
956
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,159
fine hit okay now have a look how
957
00:34:05,159 --> 00:34:06,720
fantastic this looks I'm going to zoom
958
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,699
in a little bit have a look at it the
959
00:34:08,699 --> 00:34:10,500
subject is clean the background is
960
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:12,780
textured this just looks awesome now
961
00:34:12,780 --> 00:34:14,219
what now again is the advantage of
962
00:34:14,219 --> 00:34:15,599
converting this layer into a smart
963
00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:18,239
object we can double click on gaussian
964
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,659
blur and change its value right here so
965
00:34:21,659 --> 00:34:23,699
for example I want to set it to one hit
966
00:34:23,699 --> 00:34:26,940
okay I can double click on add noise
967
00:34:26,940 --> 00:34:29,699
and change its value I can increase it
968
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:31,739
or decrease it so you get that
969
00:34:31,739 --> 00:34:34,020
flexibility with it now to finish it off
970
00:34:34,020 --> 00:34:35,940
let us apply an adjustment at the top
971
00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:38,399
and we're gonna choose a color lookup
972
00:34:38,399 --> 00:34:40,260
something you can play with experiment
973
00:34:40,260 --> 00:34:42,359
with click on the adjustment icon and
974
00:34:42,359 --> 00:34:44,520
then choose color lookup the color
975
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,440
lookup allows you to apply Luts or look
976
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,719
up tables to your images Luts in other
977
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,940
words are simple mathematics to tell all
978
00:34:50,940 --> 00:34:52,500
right make the bright pixel slightly
979
00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:54,960
darker make the darker pixels slightly
980
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,339
reddish so there are different
981
00:34:56,339 --> 00:34:58,920
mathematical presets and you have all of
982
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,660
these presets right over here for
983
00:35:00,660 --> 00:35:03,180
example this is fall colors this is
984
00:35:03,180 --> 00:35:04,619
crisp winter
985
00:35:04,619 --> 00:35:07,080
late Sunset all different kinds of
986
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,880
wonderful presets by the way I love it
987
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,800
you can also download free Luts from the
988
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,480
internet you can buy them you can create
989
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,280
them as well I have a video on creating
990
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,660
Luts right here which you can check out
991
00:35:15,660 --> 00:35:17,940
so for this example even late Sunset
992
00:35:17,940 --> 00:35:20,520
looks fantastic on this one we can go
993
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,680
with it and decrease the opacity I think
994
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,480
it's too much let's decrease it to about
995
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,920
76 I don't know there's something about
996
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,900
that number it always comes to that
997
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:32,880
another good one that I use time and
998
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,359
again is crisp warm it adds that warmth
999
00:35:36,359 --> 00:35:38,460
to the image let's decrease the opacity
1000
00:35:38,460 --> 00:35:41,040
set it to about 62 that's fine and there
1001
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,599
you have it now let's talk about layer
1002
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:44,040
grouping grouping layers is very
1003
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,920
important so for example if you selected
1004
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,680
join us live Tuesdays at seven stay
1005
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,720
centered I want to Center all of this
1006
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:53,700
all right all of them are now selected
1007
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:55,920
so with the move tool selected if I try
1008
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,839
to Center them it just centers
1009
00:35:57,839 --> 00:36:00,480
everything on an individual level all
1010
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,520
right however if we select all of these
1011
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,440
layers so select the first one hold the
1012
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,359
shift key select the last one in the row
1013
00:36:06,359 --> 00:36:09,060
everything is selected press Ctrl or
1014
00:36:09,060 --> 00:36:11,760
command G to group all of these layers
1015
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,760
and let's name this text all right so
1016
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,099
all of the text is in one group I can
1017
00:36:17,099 --> 00:36:18,660
decrease the opacity of all of them
1018
00:36:18,660 --> 00:36:20,780
collectively I can move them around
1019
00:36:20,780 --> 00:36:22,500
collectively there are many other
1020
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:24,000
Advanced features which we can cover
1021
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,920
later but for right now we can Center it
1022
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,320
collectively so even if all of it is
1023
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,880
moved to the right with the move tool
1024
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,160
selected you can make sure that align to
1025
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,320
Canvas is chosen and then you can Center
1026
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,540
it this way even if aligned to selection
1027
00:36:36,540 --> 00:36:38,880
is selected you can select all for
1028
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,040
example you can press Ctrl or command a
1029
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,560
to select the entire canvas and then you
1030
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,180
can Center according to the entire
1031
00:36:45,180 --> 00:36:48,000
canvas so for me I always have it set to
1032
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,160
selection so in case I need to center it
1033
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,660
according to the selection I can do that
1034
00:36:51,660 --> 00:36:53,400
if I need to do it according to the
1035
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,079
canvas I can select the entire canvas
1036
00:36:55,079 --> 00:36:57,060
and do that now after you're done with
1037
00:36:57,060 --> 00:36:58,619
the selection do not forget to press
1038
00:36:58,619 --> 00:37:01,680
Ctrl or command D to deselect also
1039
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,359
grouping the layers helps you clean the
1040
00:37:03,359 --> 00:37:05,099
entire thing up so this is all the
1041
00:37:05,099 --> 00:37:06,660
background so select the first one hold
1042
00:37:06,660 --> 00:37:08,460
the shift key select the last one press
1043
00:37:08,460 --> 00:37:10,920
controller command G and this is the
1044
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,260
background and then you have the grain
1045
00:37:13,260 --> 00:37:14,640
then you have the subject so everything
1046
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,560
is just so clean right now now you might
1047
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,000
also notice that the selection of the
1048
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,099
subject may not be that much accurate if
1049
00:37:20,099 --> 00:37:21,900
you come down right here there are areas
1050
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:24,480
that is left out and it's all in the
1051
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,520
cutout right here if you just want to
1052
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,380
see the cutout or in other words The
1053
00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:30,480
Mask you can hold the ALT key or the
1054
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,760
option key click on the mask button to
1055
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,740
just see that there you go white other
1056
00:37:34,740 --> 00:37:36,480
areas which show up black are the areas
1057
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,579
which hide you can hold the ALT key of
1058
00:37:38,579 --> 00:37:40,079
the option key again and click on the
1059
00:37:40,079 --> 00:37:42,119
mask back in to see the entire image so
1060
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:44,000
to fix it you can simply take a brush
1061
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,740
zoom in so these areas are left out
1062
00:37:46,740 --> 00:37:48,599
right so take white as the foreground
1063
00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:50,520
color so you can easily take the time to
1064
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,220
paint that back in again there are very
1065
00:37:53,220 --> 00:37:54,900
quick ways to do it if you paint a
1066
00:37:54,900 --> 00:37:56,339
little extra by the way you can paint
1067
00:37:56,339 --> 00:37:58,619
that area in Black because black hides
1068
00:37:58,619 --> 00:38:01,740
there we go like that
1069
00:38:01,740 --> 00:38:03,839
masking and selection is a whole another
1070
00:38:03,839 --> 00:38:05,579
lesson for the future another important
1071
00:38:05,579 --> 00:38:06,780
thing to keep in mind whenever you're
1072
00:38:06,780 --> 00:38:08,880
working in Photoshop is that you take a
1073
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,320
break if you're engrossed in your work
1074
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,060
for too long you might miss certain
1075
00:38:12,060 --> 00:38:13,800
mistakes that you're making it might be
1076
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,720
obvious when you come back from your
1077
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:17,760
break and in this case I feel why not
1078
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,800
add one more adjustment layer one more
1079
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,160
color lookup I really really loved the
1080
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,500
late Sunset right here it just made it
1081
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:27,540
look absolutely dramatic of course we
1082
00:38:27,540 --> 00:38:29,520
don't want it too much how about we add
1083
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,160
it just to the background so if we take
1084
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,200
it under the subject how would that look
1085
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,079
well that's not too bad let's add a
1086
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:39,540
little bit of it oh now that is starting
1087
00:38:39,540 --> 00:38:41,640
to look something exciting so at about
1088
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,220
38 is fine what if you bring it to the
1089
00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:46,440
top just experiment what if we take it
1090
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,540
down there you go what if we make
1091
00:38:48,540 --> 00:38:50,339
another copy of it so select that press
1092
00:38:50,339 --> 00:38:52,859
Ctrl or command J and take it to the top
1093
00:38:52,859 --> 00:38:55,320
of the subject and we want to apply it
1094
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,599
just to the subject and that's another
1095
00:38:57,599 --> 00:38:59,760
basic function so if there's a lead that
1096
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,320
you just want to apply to the layer
1097
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,900
beneath that you can hold the ALT key or
1098
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:05,460
the option key and click on the line
1099
00:39:05,460 --> 00:39:07,380
between these two layers an icon with a
1100
00:39:07,380 --> 00:39:09,540
square and a down arrow shows up if you
1101
00:39:09,540 --> 00:39:11,760
click right now you see this Arrow right
1102
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,099
there that means it's only applicable to
1103
00:39:14,099 --> 00:39:15,960
the subject now you can control the
1104
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,780
opacity just for the subject so for the
1105
00:39:18,780 --> 00:39:20,760
subject I want just a little bit of it
1106
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,579
28 and there you go so how it works is
1107
00:39:23,579 --> 00:39:25,560
that for example let's say I create one
1108
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,420
more layer and I just start painting on
1109
00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:29,160
it so with the brush selected let's
1110
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,859
choose a funky color like green so you
1111
00:39:31,859 --> 00:39:33,480
can see what's happening and I start
1112
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,119
painting like this it paints over the
1113
00:39:36,119 --> 00:39:38,820
entire image however if I hold the ALT
1114
00:39:38,820 --> 00:39:40,619
key or the option key and click on the
1115
00:39:40,619 --> 00:39:42,359
line between these two layers here we
1116
00:39:42,359 --> 00:39:43,980
have an arrow we have another arrow
1117
00:39:43,980 --> 00:39:45,540
everything is directed towards the
1118
00:39:45,540 --> 00:39:48,180
subject it will be limited just to the
1119
00:39:48,180 --> 00:39:50,099
subject let's create one more layer
1120
00:39:50,099 --> 00:39:52,140
let's choose another funky color like
1121
00:39:52,140 --> 00:39:53,160
red
1122
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,320
hold the ALT key option key click on the
1123
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,000
line between these two layers again
1124
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,940
whatever we do will be limited to the
1125
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:01,560
subject of course you can break it hold
1126
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,119
the ALT key the option key again and
1127
00:40:03,119 --> 00:40:04,740
click on the line again it shows the
1128
00:40:04,740 --> 00:40:07,320
icon with a cut click on that and it's
1129
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,480
outside of the clipping mask so in this
1130
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,579
example the real world application is we
1131
00:40:11,579 --> 00:40:13,380
have one color lookup just for the
1132
00:40:13,380 --> 00:40:15,420
background and we have other one just
1133
00:40:15,420 --> 00:40:17,220
for the subject and we can control them
1134
00:40:17,220 --> 00:40:19,020
individually you can even go ahead and
1135
00:40:19,020 --> 00:40:21,240
choose a different color lookup for the
1136
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:23,640
subject for example this one or soft
1137
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,040
forming this just opens up a lot of
1138
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,780
possibilities for you I like this one
1139
00:40:27,780 --> 00:40:29,820
I'm gonna go with it makes it pop we
1140
00:40:29,820 --> 00:40:31,079
have already learned this in lesson one
1141
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:33,000
but in case you missed it if you want
1142
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,520
the layer thumbnails to be bigger just
1143
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,200
right click on the empty space you can
1144
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,420
choose no thumbnails no thumbnails are
1145
00:40:39,420 --> 00:40:41,579
going to show up small ones medium ones
1146
00:40:41,579 --> 00:40:43,560
and large ones however
1147
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,200
if the list is too long and there is no
1148
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,240
space to click on you can click on the
1149
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:50,339
hamburger icon of the layers panel and
1150
00:40:50,339 --> 00:40:52,320
inside of that go to panel options and
1151
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,839
from here you can choose the size in
1152
00:40:54,839 --> 00:40:56,700
other words the thumbnail size of the
1153
00:40:56,700 --> 00:40:57,420
list
1154
00:40:57,420 --> 00:40:58,800
let's keep it medium hit okay that's
1155
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,440
fine let's close this keep it clean
1156
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,599
there you are finally let us discuss the
1157
00:41:03,599 --> 00:41:04,740
different types of layers we have
1158
00:41:04,740 --> 00:41:06,480
already discussed and covered a lot of
1159
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,920
them throughout the lessons let's
1160
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,140
clarify them first of all we have our
1161
00:41:10,140 --> 00:41:12,420
raste delay these are regular layers
1162
00:41:12,420 --> 00:41:14,700
made up of pixels now since it is made
1163
00:41:14,700 --> 00:41:16,500
up of pixels you can modify the pixels
1164
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:18,780
for example here we have a blue gradient
1165
00:41:18,780 --> 00:41:20,820
background and on top of that we have a
1166
00:41:20,820 --> 00:41:24,420
regular raster layer made up of pixels I
1167
00:41:24,420 --> 00:41:26,220
can go ahead and erase it if I want to
1168
00:41:26,220 --> 00:41:28,680
so let's choose a hard round brush we
1169
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,960
can erase it no worries we are just
1170
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,680
simply making the pixels go away it's
1171
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,420
made up of pixels so that is not an
1172
00:41:36,420 --> 00:41:39,720
issue I can paint in pixels that's not
1173
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:42,000
an issue I can change or modify the
1174
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,800
pixels for example by choosing the
1175
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,140
smudge tool or the blur tool so I can
1176
00:41:46,140 --> 00:41:48,839
push it around do whatever I want now
1177
00:41:48,839 --> 00:41:50,160
since we are modifying the pixels
1178
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,780
directly of course there are drawbacks
1179
00:41:51,780 --> 00:41:53,940
for example right now let's say there
1180
00:41:53,940 --> 00:41:56,579
are 1000 pixels just let's say for
1181
00:41:56,579 --> 00:41:59,640
Simplicity press Ctrl or command D and
1182
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,859
I'm going to make it really really small
1183
00:42:01,859 --> 00:42:04,920
hit enter and just apply it okay
1184
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,200
so the number of pixels reduced from
1185
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,560
1000 let's say to 50. again if we press
1186
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,900
Ctrl or command D and try to make it
1187
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:15,180
larger again we don't have any details
1188
00:42:15,180 --> 00:42:17,040
because we only have the information of
1189
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,380
those 50 pixels and we are trying to
1190
00:42:19,380 --> 00:42:22,079
expand it to 1000 pixels so Photoshop
1191
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:24,000
has to guess all of that data in between
1192
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,820
and that is why we lose all the details
1193
00:42:26,820 --> 00:42:28,440
so if you're making things smaller or
1194
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,300
larger again and again it is not very
1195
00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:33,359
advisable to use raster layers so what
1196
00:42:33,359 --> 00:42:34,980
would we do in this case we would right
1197
00:42:34,980 --> 00:42:36,780
click on it and convert the raster layer
1198
00:42:36,780 --> 00:42:39,300
into a smart object and that is our
1199
00:42:39,300 --> 00:42:41,400
second type of layer now you can press
1200
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,680
controller command D you can make it as
1201
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,780
small as you want and then you can make
1202
00:42:45,780 --> 00:42:48,599
it as big as you want and you don't lose
1203
00:42:48,599 --> 00:42:51,060
any details smart object is simply a
1204
00:42:51,060 --> 00:42:53,099
preview of The Source or the original
1205
00:42:53,099 --> 00:42:55,020
image now this image is still made up of
1206
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:57,780
pixels the smart object is simply a
1207
00:42:57,780 --> 00:43:00,359
preview of that image not the image
1208
00:43:00,359 --> 00:43:02,819
itself so right now whatever I'm doing
1209
00:43:02,819 --> 00:43:04,920
to it for example making it smaller make
1210
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,140
making it larger we are doing to that
1211
00:43:07,140 --> 00:43:09,660
preview the source is not affected
1212
00:43:09,660 --> 00:43:12,420
however if you click on the thumbnail of
1213
00:43:12,420 --> 00:43:15,119
this it opens the source for you in a
1214
00:43:15,119 --> 00:43:16,500
separate document and now of course you
1215
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:18,180
can modify the pixels for example I'm
1216
00:43:18,180 --> 00:43:20,160
going to take the Eraser and erase this
1217
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,440
Branch right here all right this one as
1218
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,020
well and if I save it by pressing Ctrl
1219
00:43:25,020 --> 00:43:26,520
or command s
1220
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,099
the preview gets updated as well let's
1221
00:43:29,099 --> 00:43:31,619
close it there we go this is simply a
1222
00:43:31,619 --> 00:43:33,660
preview of it and since it is just a
1223
00:43:33,660 --> 00:43:35,760
preview you cannot change the pixels of
1224
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,920
it if you select the Eraser and try to
1225
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,800
erase that you cannot do it
1226
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,960
so how do we get around that we simply
1227
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,180
create a mask so click on the mask
1228
00:43:45,180 --> 00:43:47,339
button the mask is created remember
1229
00:43:47,339 --> 00:43:49,020
anything that is the White shows up
1230
00:43:49,020 --> 00:43:51,480
anything that is black hides so just
1231
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,819
take the brush and paint with white and
1232
00:43:53,819 --> 00:43:56,880
black so let's paint with black to erase
1233
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,920
it so right here we are painting with
1234
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,780
black and let's paint with white to show
1235
00:44:00,780 --> 00:44:02,880
it again here's one more advantage over
1236
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,380
the Eraser that you can bring things
1237
00:44:04,380 --> 00:44:06,599
back as well the next type of layers are
1238
00:44:06,599 --> 00:44:08,099
adjustment layers we already discussed
1239
00:44:08,099 --> 00:44:10,680
that they adjust the layers beneath it
1240
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,599
and you can turn it off you can change
1241
00:44:12,599 --> 00:44:14,520
the adjustment at any point of time
1242
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,020
let's say you want to change the blue of
1243
00:44:16,020 --> 00:44:18,000
your shirt let's create a hue saturation
1244
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,740
adjustment layer by clicking on the
1245
00:44:19,740 --> 00:44:21,359
adjustment layer icon and then choosing
1246
00:44:21,359 --> 00:44:23,640
Hue saturation with the help of the hand
1247
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,920
right here click on the hand if you
1248
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,260
click and drag on the blue it will
1249
00:44:28,260 --> 00:44:31,740
increase or decrease the saturation if
1250
00:44:31,740 --> 00:44:33,180
you drag it to the right it will
1251
00:44:33,180 --> 00:44:35,400
increase the saturation if you drag it
1252
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,380
to the left it will decrease the
1253
00:44:37,380 --> 00:44:40,079
saturation pretty cool isn't it also if
1254
00:44:40,079 --> 00:44:42,300
you hold the control role or command and
1255
00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:44,520
then if you click and drag it changes
1256
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,000
the Hue so we can have it this color or
1257
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,220
any other color you want that is just
1258
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:52,079
fantastic so I'm going to keep it this
1259
00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:53,940
color for example you can change the
1260
00:44:53,940 --> 00:44:55,560
saturation you can make it absolutely
1261
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,200
black or gray it's up to you now not all
1262
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,180
of the blue is selected to make sure all
1263
00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:01,740
of them is selected you can expand the
1264
00:45:01,740 --> 00:45:03,300
range the first thing to do is first
1265
00:45:03,300 --> 00:45:05,579
increase the saturation all the way to
1266
00:45:05,579 --> 00:45:07,859
the right hand side also the Hue so that
1267
00:45:07,859 --> 00:45:09,240
you can see which areas are being
1268
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:11,520
affected and then you can expand the
1269
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,140
range from right here
1270
00:45:13,140 --> 00:45:15,720
the range of colors that are selected if
1271
00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:17,400
this is all confusing to you don't worry
1272
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,079
about it right now just play with it
1273
00:45:19,079 --> 00:45:21,359
just enjoy it and I have a master class
1274
00:45:21,359 --> 00:45:22,980
also about Hue saturation if you're
1275
00:45:22,980 --> 00:45:24,540
interested that you can watch after this
1276
00:45:24,540 --> 00:45:26,339
video so once you have selected the
1277
00:45:26,339 --> 00:45:27,720
range of colors that you want to Target
1278
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:29,579
you can modify it according to your
1279
00:45:29,579 --> 00:45:32,040
liking let's make it black or gray up to
1280
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,839
you I'm gonna make it black looks pretty
1281
00:45:33,839 --> 00:45:36,060
cool with that so here's the before
1282
00:45:36,060 --> 00:45:38,280
here's the after and then you have text
1283
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,440
layers and shape layers which are vector
1284
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,119
based you might ask what is a vector
1285
00:45:42,119 --> 00:45:43,980
well raster is a kind of graphic that is
1286
00:45:43,980 --> 00:45:46,260
made up of pixels if you zoom in you can
1287
00:45:46,260 --> 00:45:48,960
see the pixels for example this one
1288
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,480
right you can see those boxes right here
1289
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,760
Vector is a kind of graphic that is not
1290
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,319
made up of pixels but based on
1291
00:45:55,319 --> 00:45:57,839
mathematics now since it's not based on
1292
00:45:57,839 --> 00:46:00,660
pixels by the way Adobe Illustrator is
1293
00:46:00,660 --> 00:46:02,220
one of the most popular programs to
1294
00:46:02,220 --> 00:46:03,839
create vector graphics and this is
1295
00:46:03,839 --> 00:46:04,980
illustrator
1296
00:46:04,980 --> 00:46:07,500
since it's not based on pixels no matter
1297
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:09,480
how much you zoom in it will never
1298
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,040
pixelate so I'm going to zoom in right
1299
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,280
here so even if we are zoomed in let's
1300
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,060
say
1301
00:46:15,060 --> 00:46:19,440
how much 64 000 it's not pixelated and
1302
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,480
it will not text layers and shaped
1303
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,460
layers are vector based does that mean
1304
00:46:23,460 --> 00:46:25,319
it will never pixelate in Photoshop of
1305
00:46:25,319 --> 00:46:27,119
course not because it's on a raster
1306
00:46:27,119 --> 00:46:29,700
canvas this canvas is made up of pixels
1307
00:46:29,700 --> 00:46:32,339
4000 by 4000 pixels so this is a text
1308
00:46:32,339 --> 00:46:34,260
layer right of course because of the
1309
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:37,440
canvas it will show pixels however if
1310
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,119
you make it larger for example if I
1311
00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:41,040
select the game text press controller
1312
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,859
command T no matter how large I make it
1313
00:46:43,859 --> 00:46:46,560
it will not pixelate because of the
1314
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,420
enlargement you get the point so in
1315
00:46:48,420 --> 00:46:50,520
Photoshop it's Vector based it is a
1316
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,319
vector in a vaster canvas of course
1317
00:46:52,319 --> 00:46:54,359
similarly shape layers as well so let's
1318
00:46:54,359 --> 00:46:56,099
say I was to add a shape layer click on
1319
00:46:56,099 --> 00:46:57,660
the rectangle tool icon if you don't see
1320
00:46:57,660 --> 00:46:59,400
it click and hold in that group and you
1321
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,800
will have all of these shapes let us
1322
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,900
choose a rectangle and create a
1323
00:47:03,900 --> 00:47:06,000
rectangle right here let's do it this
1324
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,619
way all right that's nice and you can
1325
00:47:07,619 --> 00:47:09,480
simply change the color by double
1326
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,520
clicking right here and change the color
1327
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,140
to whatever you wish so I'm going to
1328
00:47:13,140 --> 00:47:14,640
change the color to this one that looks
1329
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,440
nice and you can use one of those points
1330
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,540
around the corners to create a curve
1331
00:47:18,540 --> 00:47:20,640
that's also nice and this my friend is a
1332
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,200
shape layer and you can tell it's a
1333
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,240
shape layer by looking at this icon
1334
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:26,099
right there you can tell a layer is a
1335
00:47:26,099 --> 00:47:28,440
text layer by looking at the T and you
1336
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,960
can tell a layer is a smart object by
1337
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,700
looking at this icon right here this
1338
00:47:32,700 --> 00:47:34,260
subject layer is a smart object so
1339
00:47:34,260 --> 00:47:35,880
that's all about the basics of layers in
1340
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,560
Photoshop please use the chapters to
1341
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,359
skip to any section of the video if
1342
00:47:39,359 --> 00:47:40,560
there's an area you don't understand
1343
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,440
watch that again follow along and most
1344
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,480
importantly enjoy have fun with it
1345
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,819
download the practice files do your
1346
00:47:47,819 --> 00:47:50,040
experiments use your own images you are
1347
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,540
the artist there should be nothing
1348
00:47:51,540 --> 00:47:53,640
controlling you nothing keeping you
1349
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,319
inside of boundaries Break Free there
1350
00:47:55,319 --> 00:47:56,880
are some exciting topics inside of test
1351
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,859
that we haven't covered yet because they
1352
00:47:58,859 --> 00:48:02,160
deserve their own class like fill like
1353
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,079
layer Styles then there are so many
1354
00:48:04,079 --> 00:48:05,819
other things which we will cover in
1355
00:48:05,819 --> 00:48:07,380
future lessons thank you so much for
