00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:01,835
Hello. My name is Richard.
2
00:00:01,835 --> 00:00:05,739
And in this course, I'm going to teach you
the basics of Photoshop
3
00:00:05,739 --> 00:00:08,141
that you need to know as a photographer.
4
00:00:09,075 --> 00:00:12,379
So you may be asking yourself,
why does a photographer
5
00:00:12,379 --> 00:00:14,314
need to know Photoshop?
6
00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:15,248
Well,
7
00:00:16,149 --> 00:00:20,120
Photoshop is like
8
00:00:22,522 --> 00:00:23,690
it's like a cook
9
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:27,560
or a chef knowing how to decorate
and serve his food.
10
00:00:28,261 --> 00:00:33,032
So you may be good at cooking,
but if you want to be a chef,
11
00:00:33,032 --> 00:00:35,902
if you want to be at the top of the game
12
00:00:36,269 --> 00:00:39,506
in terms of cooking, you also need to know
how to present your plate.
13
00:00:39,806 --> 00:00:43,243
That's probably not the best example
or the best analogy,
14
00:00:43,643 --> 00:00:46,813
but I kind of like the analogy of cooking
15
00:00:46,813 --> 00:00:50,950
to creative endeavors
and graphic design specifically.
16
00:00:51,351 --> 00:00:54,787
I often tell people that the best way
to learn
17
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:59,492
Photoshop and graphic design
is to do projects, right?
18
00:00:59,492 --> 00:01:04,163
If you're learning to cook, you don't
sit down with the manual for the oven.
19
00:01:04,564 --> 00:01:08,668
What you do is you get a recipe
and you start cooking.
20
00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:14,574
So similarly, I've structured this course
in a way that we're going through
21
00:01:14,607 --> 00:01:19,846
different projects
and learning tools as we go.
22
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:25,551
Now, having said that,
because this course is kind of designed
23
00:01:25,551 --> 00:01:28,988
for someone who's opening Photoshop
for the first time,
24
00:01:29,422 --> 00:01:32,925
I do have quite a few lessons
at the beginning that take you
25
00:01:32,925 --> 00:01:37,730
through the interface of Photoshop,
the tools, the palettes,
26
00:01:37,997 --> 00:01:41,567
and the whole camera raw plug
in which you're going to use
27
00:01:41,567 --> 00:01:44,437
if you're a photographer
taking camera raw images,
28
00:01:45,071 --> 00:01:48,408
that's how you're going
to get your photos into Photoshop.
29
00:01:48,941 --> 00:01:53,279
So if you're already familiar
with all that, you can jump forward.
30
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:57,383
I would jump forward
to the lesson on panoramas because that's
31
00:01:57,383 --> 00:02:02,955
where we actually start taking projects
and taking them through the workflow.
32
00:02:03,222 --> 00:02:06,959
And from there you'll start to see
how the different tools are used
33
00:02:07,260 --> 00:02:10,129
But if you're opening Photoshop
for the first time
34
00:02:10,329 --> 00:02:15,067
or have very little familiarity
with Photoshop, I do suggest you go
35
00:02:15,067 --> 00:02:19,105
through the entire course we're going
to be teaching a lot in this course.
36
00:02:19,105 --> 00:02:23,509
We're covering basic adjustments to images
such as exposure,
37
00:02:23,509 --> 00:02:28,381
temperature, contrast, detail, sharpness
and so forth.
38
00:02:28,414 --> 00:02:29,315
We're going to be covering
39
00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:33,553
retouching of landscape
images, including removing things,
40
00:02:34,654 --> 00:02:35,354
replacing
41
00:02:35,354 --> 00:02:38,858
skies, adding clouds, adding flares.
42
00:02:39,258 --> 00:02:42,995
We're going to be covering
retouching portraits, including
43
00:02:42,995 --> 00:02:47,767
how to get smooth skin using frequency
separation You may have heard of that.
44
00:02:47,767 --> 00:02:50,136
If you haven't, check out the lesson.
45
00:02:50,169 --> 00:02:51,304
It's a good one.
46
00:02:51,304 --> 00:02:54,140
We're going to be talking about
how to enhance eyes,
47
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:58,211
getting rid of and adding tattoos
realistically.
48
00:02:58,578 --> 00:03:02,615
We're going to be talking about color
grading to give your images
49
00:03:02,615 --> 00:03:04,383
a certain look.
50
00:03:04,383 --> 00:03:06,519
We're going to be talking about
51
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:10,056
Photoshop's
layer stack and how to use that.
52
00:03:10,056 --> 00:03:14,894
So how to blend layers together
to create really cool effects,
53
00:03:14,894 --> 00:03:19,565
including double exposures,
entirely new backgrounds,
54
00:03:19,832 --> 00:03:22,635
adding logos or texts on to images,
55
00:03:22,635 --> 00:03:25,538
combining two different images into one
56
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:29,842
And we're also kind of toward
the end, we're
57
00:03:29,842 --> 00:03:33,946
also going to cover more advanced stuff,
such as a lot of the shortcuts,
58
00:03:33,946 --> 00:03:37,950
a lot of the shortcuts I cover as we go,
but we're going to cover those.
59
00:03:37,983 --> 00:03:38,818
We're also going to cover
60
00:03:38,818 --> 00:03:42,555
how to create an action in Photoshop
to speed up your workflow.
61
00:03:42,888 --> 00:03:45,057
So hopefully this is not overwhelming.
62
00:03:45,057 --> 00:03:47,226
You it is 7 hours of training,
63
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:53,833
and I do try to cover everything in detail
and not cover something
64
00:03:55,134 --> 00:03:57,870
or use
something that I haven't covered already.
65
00:03:58,170 --> 00:04:03,008
So this is kind of designed with someone
who's never open Photoshop in mind.
66
00:04:03,309 --> 00:04:08,214
So if you have open Photoshop you might
you might find some of it tedious.
67
00:04:08,247 --> 00:04:10,649
In that case, just skip forward to
68
00:04:12,251 --> 00:04:13,719
the Panorama lesson
69
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:16,989
that's kind of passed
all the basic basic stuff.
70
00:04:16,989 --> 00:04:21,927
And from there you can start going through
different projects with me
71
00:04:22,328 --> 00:04:26,565
and you'll actually learn the techniques
as opposed to the tools.
72
00:04:26,932 --> 00:04:28,467
All right, let's get started.
73
00:04:28,467 --> 00:04:32,838
The first thing we're going to do
is check out the Photoshop interface
74
00:04:32,838 --> 00:04:35,307
and workspace
75
00:04:41,113 --> 00:04:43,315
We're going to start by opening Photoshop.
76
00:04:43,315 --> 00:04:45,451
I'm going to click on the Photoshop
icon here
77
00:04:47,486 --> 00:04:48,487
and when we open up
78
00:04:48,487 --> 00:04:51,624
Photoshop,
we are going to see the home screen
79
00:04:52,958 --> 00:04:54,927
and click here.
80
00:04:54,927 --> 00:04:58,664
You're going to see the recent files
the learn tab here.
81
00:04:58,664 --> 00:05:00,799
We'll show you tutorials.
82
00:05:00,799 --> 00:05:04,536
And if you click on all our photos,
you're going to see the Lightroom photos
83
00:05:04,536 --> 00:05:09,308
that you have synched
with Photoshop, Adobe Creative Cloud.
84
00:05:10,209 --> 00:05:13,779
From here, you can create a new documents
or open existing documents.
85
00:05:14,213 --> 00:05:16,982
And if you click on the Photoshop icon
here,
86
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:20,919
it's going to take you to the Photoshop
interface.
87
00:05:22,054 --> 00:05:24,223
Let's go ahead and go to File Open.
88
00:05:24,523 --> 00:05:27,660
One thing to note here is that virtually
89
00:05:27,660 --> 00:05:30,095
everything in Photoshop has a shortcut.
90
00:05:30,829 --> 00:05:33,098
And as you're working in
91
00:05:33,232 --> 00:05:36,568
Photoshop, you're going to see
what the shortcuts are.
92
00:05:36,668 --> 00:05:37,503
And generally,
93
00:05:37,503 --> 00:05:41,807
I advise that you learn those shortcuts
and use them any time you can.
94
00:05:42,374 --> 00:05:44,143
All right, so let's go to file open
95
00:05:46,845 --> 00:05:49,815
and we're going to open the file called
96
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:52,885
Simple Composite.
97
00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:55,154
Let's go ahead and click on Open Down Here
98
00:05:57,456 --> 00:05:58,290
All right.
99
00:05:58,290 --> 00:06:03,295
And real quick, I want to familiarize
you with the Photoshop workspace
100
00:06:04,897 --> 00:06:08,167
So on the left, here are all your tools.
101
00:06:10,102 --> 00:06:12,171
And along
102
00:06:12,171 --> 00:06:15,140
the top, here is your main Photoshop menu.
103
00:06:15,607 --> 00:06:19,077
And down
here are the options for your active tool.
104
00:06:19,912 --> 00:06:22,080
And as I click down here,
105
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,250
you can see that
that toolbar up here is changing
106
00:06:26,018 --> 00:06:28,754
based on which tool I have selected.
107
00:06:30,522 --> 00:06:32,925
And over here are your palettes.
108
00:06:32,925 --> 00:06:37,896
And your palettes are basically these
they are what your layers are.
109
00:06:38,697 --> 00:06:41,600
And the checkmarks here show you which
110
00:06:42,367 --> 00:06:44,403
palettes are fully displayed
111
00:06:45,504 --> 00:06:48,073
So you got your layers,
your learn and your color.
112
00:06:48,173 --> 00:06:50,208
Those are the ones that are active
right now.
113
00:06:50,809 --> 00:06:54,580
If I click on this and now go to Windows
114
00:06:54,613 --> 00:06:57,683
you'll see that
my swatches has the checkmark next to it.
115
00:06:59,117 --> 00:07:01,887
If I click on character, for example,
that's one
116
00:07:01,887 --> 00:07:04,456
that's not active and not shown anywhere.
117
00:07:07,826 --> 00:07:10,629
You'll see that
now appeared in this column
118
00:07:11,596 --> 00:07:14,132
and I've got character paragraph,
but those are there.
119
00:07:14,132 --> 00:07:16,335
If I click on the icon, it'll collapse.
120
00:07:17,035 --> 00:07:21,039
And if I click on it,
it'll expand that window.
121
00:07:22,174 --> 00:07:25,377
You can also adjust this
if you click on the name here
122
00:07:25,410 --> 00:07:28,246
on this top tab, you can click and drag it
123
00:07:29,481 --> 00:07:33,452
and that'll detach it from your workspace
124
00:07:33,452 --> 00:07:36,488
and now it'll just hover on top
of wherever you place it.
125
00:07:37,322 --> 00:07:39,925
Or you can take it and drag it
126
00:07:39,925 --> 00:07:42,527
into the column and it'll become an icon.
127
00:07:43,428 --> 00:07:46,131
You can also click and create
128
00:07:46,131 --> 00:07:48,266
a new column here,
129
00:07:49,868 --> 00:07:53,705
or you can click and create a new row
here.
130
00:07:54,506 --> 00:07:59,644
So simply click and drag
and you can see kind of the blue dot.
131
00:07:59,644 --> 00:08:03,315
The blue line here gives you a preview
of what it's going to do So in this case,
132
00:08:03,315 --> 00:08:07,352
it's going to create a column, it's
going to create a row,
133
00:08:07,452 --> 00:08:11,423
or it's going to make it
an additional tab in this existing block.
134
00:08:12,657 --> 00:08:14,693
So let's go ahead and
135
00:08:14,693 --> 00:08:18,864
place all of these
except for the layers palettes here.
136
00:08:18,864 --> 00:08:21,766
We want to keep it that always active
137
00:08:22,267 --> 00:08:25,270
So layers
is what you're going to use the most.
138
00:08:25,470 --> 00:08:31,209
So generally when I set up my workspace,
I want to give that the most real estate.
139
00:08:31,209 --> 00:08:33,078
So we're going to do that.
140
00:08:33,078 --> 00:08:35,447
We're going to keep our layers, palettes
here.
141
00:08:36,248 --> 00:08:39,117
We're going to have our column
for all of our other palettes,
142
00:08:39,117 --> 00:08:41,419
and we can simply dock
those as we use them.
143
00:08:41,419 --> 00:08:43,622
Or don't use them.
144
00:08:43,622 --> 00:08:45,023
And we want our tools here.
145
00:08:45,023 --> 00:08:48,093
And this is generally how
I have my workspace set up
146
00:08:48,093 --> 00:08:50,128
when I'm working in Photoshop.
147
00:08:50,128 --> 00:08:53,498
The one thing I do also want to do
is kind of customize.
148
00:08:55,233 --> 00:08:59,337
One of the thing is
obviously this is your canvas
149
00:08:59,337 --> 00:09:01,439
and this is the image
that you're working on.
150
00:09:02,173 --> 00:09:06,711
You can see it does have a tab here
which has the name of the file.
151
00:09:07,212 --> 00:09:10,615
It also has the percentage
at which it's displayed
152
00:09:11,149 --> 00:09:13,718
the layer that you have active,
153
00:09:13,718 --> 00:09:15,854
the color mode and the bit.
154
00:09:16,154 --> 00:09:19,891
So this is an eight bit file
that's RGV butterflies.
155
00:09:19,991 --> 00:09:22,327
Normal is the layer that we have selected.
156
00:09:22,660 --> 00:09:25,797
It's being shown at 66.7%.
157
00:09:26,064 --> 00:09:28,233
And the name of the file,
a sample composite.
158
00:09:28,833 --> 00:09:32,937
I can click on this tab and also detach
that if I have two monitors,
159
00:09:32,937 --> 00:09:35,507
I could drag this off
and put it on my other monitor.
160
00:09:35,974 --> 00:09:40,011
Or if I have two files up, I could have
both files up at the same time.
161
00:09:42,380 --> 00:09:46,117
And in this case, I
do want to just dock it into my workspace.
162
00:09:46,251 --> 00:09:50,588
So again, just like any of these
other palettes, or windows,
163
00:09:50,889 --> 00:09:55,226
by hovering and showing that blue line,
I've now put it in that workspace.
164
00:09:56,494 --> 00:09:57,195
Okay.
165
00:09:57,195 --> 00:10:02,667
So that is a general overview
of the workspace in Photoshop.
166
00:10:03,168 --> 00:10:06,938
The next thing I want to do
is customize the toolbar
167
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:12,177
and the toolbar all the tools that you're
going to be using in Photoshop.
168
00:10:12,177 --> 00:10:16,948
And as you can see as I hover
these is showing you what that tool does.
169
00:10:17,916 --> 00:10:21,853
There's even a little quick
overview of it, which is kind of great.
170
00:10:22,420 --> 00:10:26,291
You can turn that off and preferences
if you're familiar with Photoshop
171
00:10:26,291 --> 00:10:28,359
and don't need that anymore.
172
00:10:28,359 --> 00:10:31,029
But for this course,
it's probably good to have it.
173
00:10:31,729 --> 00:10:32,297
All right.
174
00:10:32,297 --> 00:10:34,365
Down here you'll see these three dots.
175
00:10:34,532 --> 00:10:36,868
I click on that and hold down.
176
00:10:37,669 --> 00:10:40,305
You can see
I have added toolbar as an option.
177
00:10:40,438 --> 00:10:43,474
If I click on that,
I can customize my toolbar.
178
00:10:44,108 --> 00:10:46,978
And this column here represents
179
00:10:47,612 --> 00:10:49,881
what's currently showing on my toolbar.
180
00:10:50,415 --> 00:10:55,920
You'll notice that this first move tool
has a tool under it, and that's
181
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,091
represented by that small little triangle
in the bottom right corner.
182
00:11:01,259 --> 00:11:02,360
That means there is
183
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,596
more tools nested within that tool.
184
00:11:07,398 --> 00:11:10,802
So what I want to do now is
185
00:11:10,802 --> 00:11:14,372
I want to move all the tools
that I'm not going to be using.
186
00:11:14,372 --> 00:11:17,875
I want to move into the extra tools
column here.
187
00:11:18,242 --> 00:11:21,412
So let's take the artwork tool
and move that over.
188
00:11:22,447 --> 00:11:25,283
Let's take the single row
and single column.
189
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:28,719
Let's take the lassos
190
00:11:29,020 --> 00:11:31,556
Let's take everything
but the crop tool here.
191
00:11:32,657 --> 00:11:35,493
Let's take the frame tool.
192
00:11:35,493 --> 00:11:39,097
Let's take everything but the eyedropper
193
00:11:39,197 --> 00:11:41,466
The reason why I don't want this active
194
00:11:42,733 --> 00:11:46,838
is because when I use the shortcuts,
I don't want to have to toggle
195
00:11:46,838 --> 00:11:49,707
through all these tools
to get to the tool that I want.
196
00:11:49,707 --> 00:11:52,910
So by only having the tools that I want
197
00:11:52,910 --> 00:11:56,013
in my menu,
I can access them more quickly.
198
00:11:58,149 --> 00:11:59,650
For the brush tool,
199
00:11:59,650 --> 00:12:03,487
I just want the primary brush tool
and the mixer brush tool
200
00:12:04,655 --> 00:12:05,389
clone stamp.
201
00:12:05,389 --> 00:12:08,125
I don't want to pattern tamp
202
00:12:08,125 --> 00:12:08,993
this whole box.
203
00:12:08,993 --> 00:12:10,995
I don't want
I don't want the history brush.
204
00:12:10,995 --> 00:12:13,764
So what I can do is
you'll see if I hover over the tool,
205
00:12:14,031 --> 00:12:16,834
I can also hover over the whole box
and drag that
206
00:12:18,603 --> 00:12:21,505
And I just want the primary eraser tool
207
00:12:23,107 --> 00:12:26,277
and the gradient
208
00:12:27,478 --> 00:12:29,313
What I can also do is
209
00:12:29,313 --> 00:12:34,185
I can take the eraser tool
and put that under the bus tool.
210
00:12:34,552 --> 00:12:37,088
Same with the gradient
211
00:12:37,588 --> 00:12:39,790
that'll just give me a little more space
here.
212
00:12:39,824 --> 00:12:42,026
Not as many tools
showing at the same time.
213
00:12:45,763 --> 00:12:48,232
And for the PEN tool,
214
00:12:48,232 --> 00:12:51,402
I actually just want the pen tool
rather than dragging all of them.
215
00:12:51,402 --> 00:12:54,338
I can just drag the whole box
and then drag the pen tool back.
216
00:12:55,506 --> 00:12:56,907
Same with the type tool.
217
00:12:56,907 --> 00:12:59,543
I can drag the whole box
218
00:13:00,644 --> 00:13:02,980
and then just drag
the horizontal type back
219
00:13:05,349 --> 00:13:06,050
So there you go.
220
00:13:06,050 --> 00:13:08,119
Those are the tools that I want.
221
00:13:08,119 --> 00:13:10,354
Take a look at that.
222
00:13:11,355 --> 00:13:13,891
And what I want to do is I want to
at the bottom here,
223
00:13:13,891 --> 00:13:16,293
I want to disable shortcuts
for hidden tools
224
00:13:17,862 --> 00:13:19,563
and let's head done.
225
00:13:19,563 --> 00:13:20,498
So there you go.
226
00:13:20,498 --> 00:13:23,000
Now I have all the tools that I want.
227
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,870
I have my palettes where I want them.
228
00:13:26,370 --> 00:13:29,240
What I want to do now is
I want to save this workspace.
229
00:13:29,273 --> 00:13:34,378
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go
to window workspace, new workspace.
230
00:13:35,146 --> 00:13:37,648
We call this photo editing,
231
00:13:39,416 --> 00:13:42,186
and I want to make sure menus and toolbars
232
00:13:42,386 --> 00:13:44,922
are captured in this workspace.
233
00:13:45,289 --> 00:13:48,993
Now, if I had customized some customized
some keyboard shortcuts,
234
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,629
I could select that as well.
But we didn't do that.
235
00:13:51,662 --> 00:13:54,098
So we'll keep that off and hit save
236
00:13:56,734 --> 00:13:57,768
So there you go.
237
00:13:57,768 --> 00:14:00,538
We now have our workspace setup,
how we want it
238
00:14:01,672 --> 00:14:03,307
now that we've set up our workspace.
239
00:14:03,307 --> 00:14:07,478
Let's take a look at the layer stack
or the layers palette in Photoshop,
240
00:14:07,912 --> 00:14:12,449
because this is really where
Photoshop derives its power
241
00:14:12,449 --> 00:14:15,853
and its ability
to blend and composite images so well
242
00:14:16,287 --> 00:14:18,989
is through the layer stack.
243
00:14:18,989 --> 00:14:22,293
And the layer stack is essentially images
244
00:14:23,060 --> 00:14:27,097
stacked on top of each other,
as you can see here.
245
00:14:28,565 --> 00:14:30,234
And this little eyeball
246
00:14:30,234 --> 00:14:34,071
turns the layers on or off
247
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:38,609
And up here where it says normal,
248
00:14:39,076 --> 00:14:42,680
that's where you're going to change
the blending mode of the layer.
249
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,816
And that really determines
how that layer is going
250
00:14:45,816 --> 00:14:49,053
to blend on top of the layers below it.
251
00:14:49,086 --> 00:14:53,524
So if I select this fox here,
click up here, and just as I scroll down
252
00:14:53,524 --> 00:14:56,694
you can see how that image is changing on
top of it.
253
00:14:57,094 --> 00:15:01,031
We're going to cover in detail
quite a few of these later in the course.
254
00:15:01,365 --> 00:15:04,835
But right now, just know that that's
where the blending mode is,
255
00:15:04,835 --> 00:15:06,403
and that's what it does.
256
00:15:06,403 --> 00:15:10,474
It determines how one layer blends
with everything below it
257
00:15:12,709 --> 00:15:14,645
Next you have the opacity,
258
00:15:14,645 --> 00:15:19,983
and that simply changes
how transparent that layer is.
259
00:15:20,617 --> 00:15:23,220
The default is 100
if I drag this to the left,
260
00:15:23,220 --> 00:15:26,056
you can see the fox
there is becoming less and less
261
00:15:27,858 --> 00:15:29,059
opaque
262
00:15:30,627 --> 00:15:33,997
or more and more transparent
263
00:15:34,198 --> 00:15:34,665
All right.
264
00:15:34,665 --> 00:15:36,567
So that's what opacity is.
265
00:15:36,567 --> 00:15:38,969
Fill is similar to opacity,
266
00:15:39,770 --> 00:15:42,105
but it affects the layer
267
00:15:42,105 --> 00:15:44,708
independent of the layer effects.
268
00:15:45,876 --> 00:15:48,846
So that's kind of
something that we'll get into
269
00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:52,449
once we discuss layer effects right
now, just now
270
00:15:53,083 --> 00:15:55,786
that opacity is the one
you're going to be using
271
00:15:55,786 --> 00:15:59,122
at 99% of the time, not fill.
272
00:16:00,657 --> 00:16:00,991
All right.
273
00:16:00,991 --> 00:16:05,829
Next, let's talk
about these little icons down here.
274
00:16:06,129 --> 00:16:08,498
So the first one is linking.
275
00:16:08,498 --> 00:16:13,804
And what that allows you to do
is select two layers at a time link them.
276
00:16:13,804 --> 00:16:17,708
And then in the future, if you just have
one of those layers selected and move it
277
00:16:17,708 --> 00:16:21,211
around, it's going to move all the layers
at the same time.
278
00:16:21,812 --> 00:16:24,448
Let's go ahead and undo which as controls.
279
00:16:25,782 --> 00:16:29,252
And to
be honest, I don't use this anymore.
280
00:16:29,987 --> 00:16:34,992
Back in the days of earlier
versions of Photoshop, you were not able
281
00:16:34,992 --> 00:16:38,695
to select multiple layers
and move them at the same time.
282
00:16:39,529 --> 00:16:42,799
So back in that time,
it was very important
283
00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:46,570
to have a way to move multiple layers
at the same time.
284
00:16:46,570 --> 00:16:49,206
And that's what you did with the linking,
really.
285
00:16:49,206 --> 00:16:50,574
You don't need that anymore.
286
00:16:50,574 --> 00:16:53,910
So I don't find myself
using the linking tool.
287
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:57,347
I haven't for the last,
I don't know, half a decade
288
00:16:57,514 --> 00:17:00,550
since they allowed you to select and move
289
00:17:00,550 --> 00:17:03,153
multiple layers at the same time.
290
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,423
I I've stopped having any use
291
00:17:06,423 --> 00:17:08,859
for that link except for in rare cases.
292
00:17:09,726 --> 00:17:11,928
All right. Next is the layer effects.
293
00:17:11,995 --> 00:17:15,198
So if I select let's
go ahead and turn off the fox.
294
00:17:15,699 --> 00:17:18,301
If I select the butterflies here
and click here.
295
00:17:18,735 --> 00:17:21,972
This gives me the option of adding
296
00:17:21,972 --> 00:17:25,275
various effects
most of which are self-explanatory.
297
00:17:25,609 --> 00:17:30,046
If I click on Drop Shadow,
you can see my layer style palette show up
298
00:17:31,681 --> 00:17:32,415
and you can
299
00:17:32,415 --> 00:17:35,519
see the capacity of the drop shadow
300
00:17:36,586 --> 00:17:40,724
and if I decrease the size,
301
00:17:40,724 --> 00:17:42,859
you can see that drop shadow there.
302
00:17:44,427 --> 00:17:46,563
So quite self-explanatory.
303
00:17:46,563 --> 00:17:48,632
And we'll get into this quite a bit more.
304
00:17:48,632 --> 00:17:51,568
And later tutorials.
305
00:17:51,735 --> 00:17:56,439
Although as a photographer,
you're not going to be using layer styles
306
00:17:56,439 --> 00:18:01,745
quite as much as, say, a graphic designer
or someone else might use them.
307
00:18:02,545 --> 00:18:02,846
All right.
308
00:18:02,846 --> 00:18:05,215
So let's go ahead and turn that off here.
309
00:18:05,215 --> 00:18:07,484
Okay. All right.
310
00:18:07,484 --> 00:18:13,123
Next is mass and this is something
you're going to be using a lot mask.
311
00:18:13,690 --> 00:18:16,559
If I click on this,
you can see a mask has been added.
312
00:18:16,826 --> 00:18:22,132
And what a mask does
is it allows you to make certain parts
313
00:18:22,132 --> 00:18:26,670
of the image disappear without actually
deleting the pixel information.
314
00:18:27,404 --> 00:18:30,507
So with my masks, selected,
you can see the little white
315
00:18:30,507 --> 00:18:33,543
box around it if I select my paintbrush.
316
00:18:34,277 --> 00:18:34,644
Right.
317
00:18:34,644 --> 00:18:37,747
Mouse, click here
and just select the hard round brush
318
00:18:39,315 --> 00:18:39,883
Make sure my
319
00:18:39,883 --> 00:18:44,020
foreground color here is black
and then start painting.
320
00:18:44,487 --> 00:18:47,157
You're going to see that
I'm actually a racing
321
00:18:48,625 --> 00:18:52,028
the background behind her
322
00:18:53,596 --> 00:18:54,831
and that's
323
00:18:54,831 --> 00:18:59,335
allowing my other background
to show up behind her.
324
00:19:00,403 --> 00:19:02,939
So that's what a mask does.
325
00:19:02,939 --> 00:19:07,010
And we're going to get into
quite a bit of detail on how to use masks,
326
00:19:08,111 --> 00:19:11,181
how to cut out using masks and so forth.
327
00:19:11,648 --> 00:19:15,819
But also realize that a mask is
essentially just a black and white image.
328
00:19:15,819 --> 00:19:19,055
So if I hold down option and click on this
mask,
329
00:19:19,556 --> 00:19:22,458
this is basically
just a black and white channel.
330
00:19:23,026 --> 00:19:25,428
And you can see our channels palettes
here.
331
00:19:25,428 --> 00:19:28,498
You'll notice that Model Smart Object Mask
332
00:19:28,498 --> 00:19:31,668
is a channel similar
to Red, Green and blue.
333
00:19:32,702 --> 00:19:35,205
All right. So let's cut back on our TV
334
00:19:37,407 --> 00:19:40,076
and if you want to see the layer
335
00:19:40,443 --> 00:19:43,913
mask, you can go to channels
and click on the eyeball here.
336
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,082
That'll turn it on.
337
00:19:46,082 --> 00:19:47,784
But still, leave the other layers on.
338
00:19:47,784 --> 00:19:50,887
Then you can turn off the others
if you'd like.
339
00:19:50,887 --> 00:19:55,491
Or on here, you can hold then option,
click on the mask or hold down
340
00:19:55,491 --> 00:19:58,861
shift in option to reveal the mask
341
00:19:59,062 --> 00:20:01,631
while also showing the RJ B.
342
00:20:02,298 --> 00:20:05,168
All right, so option click option click
343
00:20:05,401 --> 00:20:07,870
that toggles back and forth or option
344
00:20:09,272 --> 00:20:11,708
shift click and option shift click
345
00:20:11,908 --> 00:20:15,511
to toggle those on and off.
346
00:20:15,511 --> 00:20:17,280
There is a link
347
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,218
that's automatically attaching
your mask to your layer.
348
00:20:22,285 --> 00:20:25,955
So if I move these around
and they both move at the same time,
349
00:20:26,589 --> 00:20:29,125
you control Z there.
350
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:30,927
That is important.
351
00:20:30,927 --> 00:20:33,696
If you unlink these and I then move her,
352
00:20:34,063 --> 00:20:37,633
you can see I've now lost the relationship
353
00:20:37,633 --> 00:20:40,303
there between the image and the mask
I've created.
354
00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:42,638
Let's control, see that.
355
00:20:42,638 --> 00:20:45,274
And to delete the layer mask
356
00:20:45,274 --> 00:20:48,578
you and simply click it
and drag it into this trash can here
357
00:20:49,579 --> 00:20:53,216
and apply mask layer before removing.
358
00:20:53,216 --> 00:20:54,417
You don't want to do that.
359
00:20:54,417 --> 00:20:56,219
You want to hit delete
360
00:20:56,919 --> 00:20:58,387
You can also let's do
361
00:20:58,387 --> 00:21:01,958
control Z, right
mouse click and say delete layer mask.
362
00:21:02,558 --> 00:21:03,126
All right.
363
00:21:03,126 --> 00:21:07,263
So that's how you add and delete
a layer mask.
364
00:21:08,264 --> 00:21:10,433
This is adjustment layers.
365
00:21:10,433 --> 00:21:15,638
And one thing in Photoshop
is that if I want to apply
366
00:21:15,638 --> 00:21:18,608
a color correction
to all these layers at the same time,
367
00:21:20,610 --> 00:21:24,213
I can't do that
by going to image adjustments
368
00:21:24,213 --> 00:21:27,516
and let's say I want to do a curve
because if I do a curve,
369
00:21:28,684 --> 00:21:30,686
that curve is only going
370
00:21:30,686 --> 00:21:33,489
to apply to my selected layer.
371
00:21:34,190 --> 00:21:38,227
And if I try to select three layers
at the same time, you're going to see
372
00:21:38,227 --> 00:21:44,734
I do not have the option there
to do a adjustment on multiple layers so
373
00:21:45,901 --> 00:21:46,335
the way
374
00:21:46,335 --> 00:21:49,839
we get around
that is we have a layer for a curves
375
00:21:49,972 --> 00:21:55,478
that sits on top of the layer stack,
and this affects the entire image.
376
00:21:55,611 --> 00:21:59,882
So that's a very important addition
to your layer stack
377
00:22:00,516 --> 00:22:03,619
and something
that you'll be using a lot of
378
00:22:04,754 --> 00:22:06,589
All right, let's throw that away.
379
00:22:06,589 --> 00:22:09,291
And if you click here and just hold down,
380
00:22:09,291 --> 00:22:11,861
you can see all the options
for different adjustments.
381
00:22:12,628 --> 00:22:18,300
Our next is the group, and that allows you
to select more than one layer at a time.
382
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:20,603
So if you hold down shift
383
00:22:20,603 --> 00:22:23,973
or if you hold down Apple or command
384
00:22:26,776 --> 00:22:28,411
you can select multiple layers,
385
00:22:28,411 --> 00:22:31,213
click on the group
and it'll put them in a group.
386
00:22:31,514 --> 00:22:35,084
The advantage of this is you can set
the blending mode for the whole group.
387
00:22:35,418 --> 00:22:38,053
And you can add a mask to the group.
388
00:22:38,721 --> 00:22:42,858
And in other tutorials,
you're going to see the power of that.
389
00:22:42,858 --> 00:22:45,895
But you can also just use it
to organize your file better
390
00:22:46,462 --> 00:22:48,497
if you have a whole bunch of layers.
391
00:22:48,631 --> 00:22:51,267
So let's go ahead and delete the layer
mask.
392
00:22:51,433 --> 00:22:54,003
Let's go ahead and also delete the group.
393
00:22:54,003 --> 00:22:57,273
And I want to delete the
group only, not the contents
394
00:23:00,376 --> 00:23:01,343
Okay.
395
00:23:01,377 --> 00:23:03,546
Then we have the new layer icon.
396
00:23:03,612 --> 00:23:04,480
I click on that.
397
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,649
It's going to create a new blank layer.
398
00:23:06,649 --> 00:23:09,952
You can see here the grid here represents
399
00:23:09,952 --> 00:23:13,055
transparency and you can see that
this layer is simply blank.
400
00:23:13,055 --> 00:23:16,091
It has nothing in it.
401
00:23:16,125 --> 00:23:18,027
Let's go ahead and delete that.
402
00:23:18,027 --> 00:23:21,697
And another thing
that you can do with the new layer icon is
403
00:23:21,697 --> 00:23:25,901
you can take an existing layer,
drag it down there and make a copy of it.
404
00:23:26,769 --> 00:23:29,838
And that's something you're going
to be doing a lot of in Photoshop.
405
00:23:30,306 --> 00:23:32,041
Generally,
when you're working on something,
406
00:23:32,041 --> 00:23:33,609
you always want to make a copy of it
407
00:23:33,609 --> 00:23:36,712
so that if you need to,
you can delete it and go backwards.
408
00:23:37,313 --> 00:23:42,051
So that's dragging it to the new layer
icon.
409
00:23:42,051 --> 00:23:43,385
It's going to make a copy.
410
00:23:43,385 --> 00:23:46,755
You can also go up here to layer new layer
via copy.
411
00:23:47,323 --> 00:23:49,291
The shortcut for that is Command J.
412
00:23:49,291 --> 00:23:52,294
That's one of those shortcuts that you're
going to be using all the time.
413
00:23:52,294 --> 00:23:56,231
So write that down on a post
and put it on your screen
414
00:23:56,231 --> 00:23:59,335
or just memorize it command J.
415
00:23:59,468 --> 00:24:01,070
It's going to make a copy of your layer.
416
00:24:02,171 --> 00:24:03,706
Let's go ahead and select all
417
00:24:03,706 --> 00:24:06,642
these copies and throw them away
418
00:24:08,744 --> 00:24:12,147
And lastly,
419
00:24:12,147 --> 00:24:14,349
we're going to cover clipping masks.
420
00:24:16,051 --> 00:24:18,320
So let's
go ahead and select the butterfly.
421
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,889
And I want to move those to the right now.
422
00:24:20,889 --> 00:24:24,126
You'll notice when I did that,
it moved this layer.
423
00:24:25,327 --> 00:24:27,830
The reason for that is
we have auto select turned on.
424
00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:30,699
So let's go ahead and turn that off.
425
00:24:30,699 --> 00:24:32,968
And I don't like having that turned on
426
00:24:32,968 --> 00:24:36,338
because it really depends on you
clicking on the right pixel here.
427
00:24:36,872 --> 00:24:39,775
I generally like to make my layer
selections here.
428
00:24:39,775 --> 00:24:43,545
And then just that way
I can click anywhere in the image,
429
00:24:43,846 --> 00:24:49,117
start moving and it'll move the layer
I want to move and we'll cover that a bit
430
00:24:49,117 --> 00:24:54,189
later and move towards some other tricks
you can do to make that more efficient.
431
00:24:54,690 --> 00:24:56,258
All right,
so let's put the butterfly there
432
00:24:56,258 --> 00:24:58,694
and let's take the fox layer
and drag it on top here.
433
00:24:59,394 --> 00:25:00,429
And then what I'm going to do
434
00:25:00,429 --> 00:25:04,633
is I'm going to hold down the option key
between these two layers and click
435
00:25:05,634 --> 00:25:07,903
and you can see our fox disappeared here.
436
00:25:07,903 --> 00:25:10,372
But if I drag it up,
437
00:25:10,806 --> 00:25:13,141
there is our fox.
438
00:25:13,141 --> 00:25:15,177
And this is essentially acting like
439
00:25:15,177 --> 00:25:17,546
a little window for my fox.
440
00:25:18,247 --> 00:25:20,382
Basically, all the layers that are clipped
441
00:25:20,949 --> 00:25:25,921
will use the transparency of this layer
and apply it to this layer.
442
00:25:26,588 --> 00:25:29,391
And if I select this layer and move it,
you can also see
443
00:25:29,791 --> 00:25:32,961
that the inverse works there
444
00:25:33,629 --> 00:25:36,031
and this is a nice way
445
00:25:36,832 --> 00:25:41,703
of constraining layers or adjustments
and so forth.
446
00:25:42,037 --> 00:25:44,272
You're going to see us
using this quite a bit.
447
00:25:44,272 --> 00:25:48,610
So just know that in order to clip a layer
like that, you're going to hold down
448
00:25:48,610 --> 00:25:52,414
option and click between the two
and that'll toggle
449
00:25:52,647 --> 00:25:54,916
that behavior there
450
00:25:59,988 --> 00:26:00,389
All right,
451
00:26:00,389 --> 00:26:04,559
so let's go to history,
go all the way to the top here.
452
00:26:05,527 --> 00:26:08,030
Go back to the beginning.
453
00:26:08,030 --> 00:26:10,298
This is all the commands you've done,
454
00:26:10,298 --> 00:26:13,168
and you can step backwards if you'd like.
455
00:26:14,169 --> 00:26:16,838
But in this case, I know
I just want to go right to the beginning.
456
00:26:18,774 --> 00:26:22,978
So the next thing I want to do is quickly
take you through all the tools here
457
00:26:22,978 --> 00:26:27,082
or the primary tools that you're going to
be using as a photographer in Photoshop.
458
00:26:28,049 --> 00:26:30,218
Let's go ahead and select the butterflies
layer.
459
00:26:30,752 --> 00:26:32,954
Let's start with the Move tool.
460
00:26:33,088 --> 00:26:35,957
The move tool is your default tool.
461
00:26:35,957 --> 00:26:38,560
Generally, when you're working,
you want to be on that tool
462
00:26:39,094 --> 00:26:42,697
because that is
463
00:26:42,697 --> 00:26:44,399
when you're using shortcuts
464
00:26:44,399 --> 00:26:48,170
for opacity, shortcuts
for your blending mode and so forth.
465
00:26:48,170 --> 00:26:53,074
They're all going to be
with this move tool here.
466
00:26:53,275 --> 00:26:55,844
And the shortcut for the move tool is V,
467
00:26:56,378 --> 00:27:00,515
and all of the tools
have a single letter shortcut.
468
00:27:00,549 --> 00:27:04,119
So for example, B is the brush tool
469
00:27:04,386 --> 00:27:07,088
and if I just hit B on the keyboard,
I'm going to select the brush.
470
00:27:07,489 --> 00:27:10,592
If I hit E,
it's going to select the eraser.
471
00:27:11,026 --> 00:27:14,129
If I hit em, it's going to select the key
472
00:27:14,129 --> 00:27:18,366
so just realize that all of the tools
have a single letter shortcut.
473
00:27:18,667 --> 00:27:21,536
And if you hover over the tool,
you can see there
474
00:27:21,536 --> 00:27:24,940
at the end
that is the shortcut for that tool.
475
00:27:25,907 --> 00:27:26,207
All right.
476
00:27:26,207 --> 00:27:27,275
So back to the Move tool.
477
00:27:27,275 --> 00:27:30,145
The MOVE tool allows you to move
layers around
478
00:27:31,846 --> 00:27:35,850
and also allows you to scale and rotate.
479
00:27:36,551 --> 00:27:40,088
Now, you may be wondering how to scale
and rotate in Photoshop.
480
00:27:40,088 --> 00:27:44,592
It's a common question for beginners
and how you do
481
00:27:44,592 --> 00:27:48,129
that is by turning on the show
transformed controls.
482
00:27:49,030 --> 00:27:52,033
And then from here,
if I get close to one of these
483
00:27:52,033 --> 00:27:54,769
edges,
you'll see that my mouse step changes
484
00:27:55,970 --> 00:27:58,473
and I can click and drag,
485
00:27:58,473 --> 00:28:01,209
and that is going to scale
486
00:28:02,644 --> 00:28:04,913
You also notice
487
00:28:04,946 --> 00:28:07,382
that I now have a whole new
488
00:28:07,382 --> 00:28:11,619
set of options up here in my toolbar
489
00:28:12,487 --> 00:28:15,490
the left here is for the anchor point
490
00:28:16,157 --> 00:28:19,961
and in other tutorials we'll show
the importance of that anchor point.
491
00:28:20,395 --> 00:28:25,467
But if you hold down option you can see
that I can scale to that anchor point.
492
00:28:26,034 --> 00:28:29,204
And also while holding option anywhere
I click,
493
00:28:29,204 --> 00:28:32,440
it's going to move
that anchor point to there.
494
00:28:32,707 --> 00:28:37,445
All right, so if I click on this butterfly
while holding option,
495
00:28:38,046 --> 00:28:42,650
continue holding option, you can see I'm
now scaling to that butterfly.
496
00:28:44,419 --> 00:28:45,320
All right.
497
00:28:45,687 --> 00:28:47,922
You can turn off that anchor point here
498
00:28:48,122 --> 00:28:50,158
if you don't want to see it.
499
00:28:51,926 --> 00:28:53,661
And this
500
00:28:53,661 --> 00:28:56,497
and this tells you
the location of the image.
501
00:28:56,664 --> 00:28:58,866
This tells you the width and the height.
502
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:02,870
And this keeps those too constrained.
503
00:29:03,304 --> 00:29:06,808
This shows you the rotation
and this shows you
504
00:29:06,808 --> 00:29:09,677
the horizontal and the vertical
505
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,783
skewing, which I'll show you
how to do that with shortcut.
506
00:29:15,817 --> 00:29:19,721
So first off, to rotate,
if I just go a little bit away,
507
00:29:19,721 --> 00:29:22,991
you can see that
my icon changes to a rotate icon.
508
00:29:23,458 --> 00:29:27,128
I can click and drag, and it's
going to rotate around my anchor point.
509
00:29:27,695 --> 00:29:29,797
Again, if I hold down option and click
510
00:29:31,199 --> 00:29:33,668
I'm going to change where I rotate from
511
00:29:37,071 --> 00:29:41,609
and the horizontal and the vertical skew.
512
00:29:41,609 --> 00:29:46,214
If I hold down the command,
you can see I can skew
513
00:29:48,649 --> 00:29:50,618
like this and like this.
514
00:29:50,618 --> 00:29:54,655
Also, if I select while holding down
command, select one of the individual
515
00:29:54,655 --> 00:29:58,159
anchor points,
I can skew this disproportion
516
00:29:58,159 --> 00:29:59,494
shortly
517
00:30:03,698 --> 00:30:06,734
so as you can see,
there's a lot of options that you have
518
00:30:06,734 --> 00:30:12,740
for skewing, rotating
and scaling with your transform.
519
00:30:13,441 --> 00:30:17,145
And there's also even more options
520
00:30:17,145 --> 00:30:21,315
here, which we won't get into here,
but we will in other tutorials All right.
521
00:30:21,315 --> 00:30:25,720
So to commit your transform, you're going
to hit the checkmark or double click.
522
00:30:26,287 --> 00:30:29,624
And to cancel your transform,
you're going to hit
523
00:30:29,624 --> 00:30:32,360
this button here
or hit escape on your keyboard.
524
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,497
Go ahead and hit escape Now,
525
00:30:38,966 --> 00:30:43,004
if I don't want to transform,
I can turn this off.
526
00:30:43,337 --> 00:30:45,806
And there you go. I have my layer.
527
00:30:45,806 --> 00:30:49,076
Now, if you'd like,
you can always keep this on.
528
00:30:49,110 --> 00:30:53,314
It does show
you kind of which layer you have selected.
529
00:30:53,314 --> 00:30:55,483
So it is helpful in that regard.
530
00:30:55,483 --> 00:30:59,320
But I generally find it
gets in my way of seeing my whole image.
531
00:30:59,687 --> 00:31:01,322
So I keep that off.
532
00:31:01,322 --> 00:31:08,796
And another way to access
this is to go to edit and free transform.
533
00:31:08,796 --> 00:31:13,701
And you'll notice that it's
now turned on the transformed boundary.
534
00:31:14,435 --> 00:31:18,072
And you have all these options here.
535
00:31:18,072 --> 00:31:20,308
So the shortcut for that
536
00:31:21,575 --> 00:31:23,010
is command T,
537
00:31:23,010 --> 00:31:26,080
and that's a shortcut
you're going to be using all the time.
538
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,916
So go ahead
and remember that when you're on a layer
539
00:31:28,916 --> 00:31:32,953
and you want to rotate
or scale it to command T,
540
00:31:33,654 --> 00:31:36,023
and then you'll have
541
00:31:36,023 --> 00:31:39,060
the options that you need there
for rotating and scaling.
542
00:31:39,060 --> 00:31:40,327
Now, if you want to rotate,
543
00:31:40,327 --> 00:31:43,597
if you want to scale something
disproportionally, hold down shift.
544
00:31:44,665 --> 00:31:48,469
This is a recent change in Photoshop
it used to have the opposite
545
00:31:48,469 --> 00:31:50,571
where if you didn't hold down shift,
546
00:31:51,739 --> 00:31:53,741
it would scale it disproportionately.
547
00:31:53,741 --> 00:31:58,179
And if you held down shift, it's gathered
proportionally Personally,
548
00:31:58,179 --> 00:32:01,982
I'm not a fan of the change
just because so many other programs
549
00:32:03,517 --> 00:32:07,154
use shift for proportional
for keeping proportions
550
00:32:08,289 --> 00:32:10,958
but for the purpose of this tutorial,
551
00:32:10,991 --> 00:32:14,528
I'm going to keep it to the defaults
so it doesn't get too confusing
552
00:32:16,597 --> 00:32:17,865
but let's get out
553
00:32:17,865 --> 00:32:20,134
of this and I hit the button there.
554
00:32:20,935 --> 00:32:24,605
But again, when you're on the move tool
and you want to rotate
555
00:32:25,406 --> 00:32:28,409
or scale to command t,
556
00:32:28,642 --> 00:32:31,979
you can have escaped to get out of it
to just move something.
557
00:32:31,979 --> 00:32:35,883
You'll notice
that my transform does not appear here.
558
00:32:35,883 --> 00:32:39,053
Moving
something does not require a transform.
559
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,357
So by moving something,
you will not get the free transform.
560
00:32:43,357 --> 00:32:45,092
And if you just want to move something
561
00:32:45,092 --> 00:32:47,761
you don't have to do it
with a free transform.
562
00:32:49,029 --> 00:32:51,632
All right, so that's that.
563
00:32:52,299 --> 00:32:56,203
And that is your move to the next tool
we're going to cover is the marquee
564
00:32:56,737 --> 00:33:01,508
and this allows you
to select portions of your image
565
00:33:01,508 --> 00:33:03,978
by clicking and dragging.
566
00:33:04,612 --> 00:33:07,348
And similar to the option
567
00:33:08,349 --> 00:33:10,918
doing it from the center.
568
00:33:10,918 --> 00:33:14,555
This also, if you hold the option, it's
going to make a square from the center.
569
00:33:15,289 --> 00:33:18,325
And in this case, holding shift is going
570
00:33:18,325 --> 00:33:22,730
to keep a perfect square
letting go of shift.
571
00:33:22,896 --> 00:33:25,733
This can allow you to disproportionally
572
00:33:27,634 --> 00:33:29,570
disproportion, the width and the height.
573
00:33:29,570 --> 00:33:31,805
So that's just one example.
574
00:33:31,805 --> 00:33:36,610
Why don't like the behavior change
and transform and if you want to change
575
00:33:36,610 --> 00:33:39,046
that, you can go to preferences general
576
00:33:39,613 --> 00:33:42,683
and turn on legacy free transfer.
577
00:33:43,150 --> 00:33:44,017
Okay.
578
00:33:45,152 --> 00:33:47,421
Let's consider that.
579
00:33:47,721 --> 00:33:49,356
And you might be wondering
580
00:33:49,356 --> 00:33:52,059
why you need to make a selection.
581
00:33:52,259 --> 00:33:56,096
And the reason for that is the way
Photoshop
582
00:33:56,096 --> 00:33:59,099
works is all of these tools.
583
00:33:59,099 --> 00:34:04,538
So virtually all of these tools
require a selection to work.
584
00:34:04,938 --> 00:34:09,710
Now, if you have not made a selection
and only have a layer selected,
585
00:34:10,210 --> 00:34:13,247
realize that the entire layer
586
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,116
is being treated as a selection.
587
00:34:16,517 --> 00:34:18,752
So if you go Select Select all,
588
00:34:18,752 --> 00:34:21,788
it's virtually identical
to not making a selection.
589
00:34:22,589 --> 00:34:23,090
All right.
590
00:34:24,958 --> 00:34:27,594
So if I want
591
00:34:27,594 --> 00:34:31,732
to, for example, take this butterfly
and move him down.
592
00:34:31,732 --> 00:34:36,303
Well, right now, if I go to the move tool,
you can see it's all one layer.
593
00:34:36,803 --> 00:34:41,275
But if I go to the Mark Key
to make a cut out
594
00:34:41,275 --> 00:34:43,410
there, then go to my move tool.
595
00:34:44,344 --> 00:34:49,216
You can see that I've now cut out
that one butterfly and I'm moving it
596
00:34:49,216 --> 00:34:55,589
independent of the others
to drop a selection go to select deselect.
597
00:34:55,589 --> 00:34:57,624
The shortcut for that is command the
598
00:34:59,826 --> 00:35:00,560
okay.
599
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,332
So the marquee allows you to do
rectangular or elliptical,
600
00:35:05,766 --> 00:35:08,001
meaning circular selections
601
00:35:09,202 --> 00:35:12,706
and for the circular selection,
that might come in handy.
602
00:35:12,706 --> 00:35:15,809
If you want to do a vignette, you could
603
00:35:16,810 --> 00:35:21,081
let's go ahead and turn these two layers
you could hold down option
604
00:35:22,282 --> 00:35:24,818
kind of make a vignette shape around her
605
00:35:26,653 --> 00:35:29,890
and invert that selection
606
00:35:30,090 --> 00:35:32,259
with select inverse.
607
00:35:33,093 --> 00:35:37,464
Now I have this kind of outside
frame selected create a new layer,
608
00:35:37,597 --> 00:35:39,666
go to edit fill
609
00:35:41,134 --> 00:35:45,405
and I want my contents here to be Black
Head.
610
00:35:45,405 --> 00:35:46,339
Okay.
611
00:35:46,339 --> 00:35:49,142
And I've now created
this kind of frame around her,
612
00:35:50,277 --> 00:35:53,079
and then I could go to Filter, Blur,
613
00:35:53,380 --> 00:35:55,348
Gaussian, Blur
614
00:35:56,716 --> 00:35:57,818
Increase That Blur.
615
00:35:57,818 --> 00:35:59,619
It's quite a bit
616
00:36:01,588 --> 00:36:03,456
at. Okay.
617
00:36:03,790 --> 00:36:04,658
And there you go.
618
00:36:04,658 --> 00:36:07,627
I've created this nice vignette, so let's
619
00:36:07,627 --> 00:36:10,897
go ahead and call this layer vignette
All right.
620
00:36:10,931 --> 00:36:15,368
So there you can see
how you would use that selection tool.
621
00:36:15,835 --> 00:36:20,006
Next, we have the marquee tool,
and this is for selections
622
00:36:20,006 --> 00:36:24,411
that are more detailed
where you need to go around an object.
623
00:36:24,411 --> 00:36:26,379
So let's go ahead and zoom in.
624
00:36:27,781 --> 00:36:30,550
And the zoom is here.
625
00:36:31,318 --> 00:36:34,054
But the shortcut for that there is.
626
00:36:34,287 --> 00:36:37,424
So the zoom allows you to zoom in or out.
627
00:36:37,424 --> 00:36:41,695
You can also click to zoom in
or then option to zoom out.
628
00:36:43,063 --> 00:36:44,731
But if you have scrubby zoom turned
629
00:36:44,731 --> 00:36:47,267
on, you can simply click
and drag left or right.
630
00:36:48,068 --> 00:36:50,303
And once you're zoomed in,
631
00:36:50,303 --> 00:36:53,306
the hand here allows you
to move your canvas around.
632
00:36:53,807 --> 00:36:56,710
When you're doing this,
you're not moving a layer around.
633
00:36:57,143 --> 00:36:58,945
You're not moving anything inside.
634
00:36:58,945 --> 00:37:01,181
Your object.
You're not affecting your image.
635
00:37:01,381 --> 00:37:04,217
You're simply moving the canvas
636
00:37:04,217 --> 00:37:06,252
around your viewport.
637
00:37:07,220 --> 00:37:07,654
All right.
638
00:37:07,654 --> 00:37:09,823
So that's what the hand in the magnifying
glass do.
639
00:37:09,856 --> 00:37:13,827
Now, fortunately, Photoshop
have built in shortcuts that work
640
00:37:13,827 --> 00:37:15,929
regardless of which tool you're on.
641
00:37:15,929 --> 00:37:19,065
So let's go back on the market
to what I'm going to do
642
00:37:19,065 --> 00:37:22,335
is I'm going to hold down the spacebar,
and that's going to give me the hand.
643
00:37:22,802 --> 00:37:27,607
And if I hold down the spacebar and
command, that's going to give me my zoom
644
00:37:28,808 --> 00:37:29,309
all right.
645
00:37:29,309 --> 00:37:32,245
So those are shortcuts
you're going to use all the time.
646
00:37:32,245 --> 00:37:35,782
So make sure you remember them spacebar
for the hand
647
00:37:36,182 --> 00:37:38,585
space and command for your zoom.
648
00:37:39,519 --> 00:37:42,388
And if you're not using scrub zoom,
649
00:37:42,655 --> 00:37:45,158
you can hold down option to zoom out.
650
00:37:46,025 --> 00:37:48,061
No option, just command
651
00:37:48,394 --> 00:37:51,731
and the spacebar to zoom in
652
00:37:53,132 --> 00:37:53,566
Okay.
653
00:37:53,566 --> 00:37:55,802
So let's go ahead and zoom in here.
654
00:37:56,636 --> 00:37:58,838
And with the lasso tool,
655
00:37:58,838 --> 00:38:01,207
I can click and draw
656
00:38:02,308 --> 00:38:04,978
to make a more detailed selection
657
00:38:08,681 --> 00:38:12,518
Now you'll notice
it's a little bit finicky.
658
00:38:13,219 --> 00:38:18,558
And the problem that I run into with
the lesser tool is if you accidentally
659
00:38:18,558 --> 00:38:21,728
move your mouse, there's
no way of coming back and fixing that.
660
00:38:22,128 --> 00:38:25,898
You simply have to track through, make
your selection and then try to fix it.
661
00:38:25,898 --> 00:38:27,200
Afterwards.
662
00:38:27,267 --> 00:38:30,937
So as you can see
here, we've now made our selection
663
00:38:32,572 --> 00:38:34,474
and this unfortunately had a feather.
664
00:38:34,474 --> 00:38:37,410
So let's
go ahead and change our feather to zero.
665
00:38:38,711 --> 00:38:41,147
Try to draw that again.
666
00:38:45,318 --> 00:38:47,887
Let's go up here
667
00:38:48,821 --> 00:38:53,826
and command in the spacebar.
668
00:38:53,860 --> 00:38:56,529
Let's zoom out a little bit
669
00:38:57,864 --> 00:39:00,533
and with the lasso selected,
670
00:39:00,533 --> 00:39:02,869
you can see here
671
00:39:03,436 --> 00:39:05,838
that this is going to make
a new selection.
672
00:39:06,172 --> 00:39:07,006
I click on this.
673
00:39:07,006 --> 00:39:09,008
It's going to add
to the existing selection.
674
00:39:09,008 --> 00:39:14,147
You can see there's a little plus
now next to my lasso
675
00:39:38,337 --> 00:39:40,773
and if there is some section
like let's say
676
00:39:40,773 --> 00:39:44,210
I went like this on accident,
you can click here.
677
00:39:44,443 --> 00:39:46,946
And what that will do is it'll subtract
678
00:39:51,350 --> 00:39:53,085
and then this will intersect.
679
00:39:53,085 --> 00:39:57,423
So you can see
now there's a little X next to it.
680
00:39:57,590 --> 00:40:00,359
If I go here
681
00:40:03,763 --> 00:40:06,699
that's going to make an intersection
of my two selections.
682
00:40:06,832 --> 00:40:08,834
So let's go ahead and undo that.
683
00:40:09,769 --> 00:40:12,638
Now, when you're on the standard
lasso tool,
684
00:40:12,772 --> 00:40:16,475
if you hold down option,
you can see that it becomes a subtract.
685
00:40:17,610 --> 00:40:19,378
If you hold down an
686
00:40:19,378 --> 00:40:22,114
option, and shift, it becomes intersect
687
00:40:24,250 --> 00:40:25,418
and if you hold down
688
00:40:25,418 --> 00:40:28,120
shift by itself, it becomes the add.
689
00:40:28,387 --> 00:40:31,090
So just realize
you really don't need to go up here.
690
00:40:31,557 --> 00:40:36,028
You can simply hold down
option or shift or both,
691
00:40:36,429 --> 00:40:39,231
and it'll temporarily change the tool.
692
00:40:40,499 --> 00:40:42,435
And that's pretty common
693
00:40:42,435 --> 00:40:45,404
for a lot of the Photoshop tools.
694
00:40:46,706 --> 00:40:51,210
So just realize that shift and option
are usually going
695
00:40:51,210 --> 00:40:54,613
to change the behavior of your tool
in some way.
696
00:40:55,748 --> 00:40:56,215
All right.
697
00:40:56,215 --> 00:40:56,982
So there you go.
698
00:40:56,982 --> 00:41:01,987
With our Fox now selected,
we can click on the mask here
699
00:41:03,189 --> 00:41:06,225
and that'll apply our selection
to the mask.
700
00:41:06,258 --> 00:41:10,763
So that's one example of where
you would want to use the lasso tool.
701
00:41:11,130 --> 00:41:15,401
And then other tutorials we'll get into
a lot more detail on tricks and
702
00:41:16,202 --> 00:41:17,736
how to use that tool better.
703
00:41:18,771 --> 00:41:19,338
All right.
704
00:41:19,338 --> 00:41:22,208
Next is the quick selection tool
705
00:41:22,808 --> 00:41:25,778
so the quick selection tool
or smart selection
706
00:41:26,178 --> 00:41:28,614
essentially uses Photoshop's
707
00:41:28,914 --> 00:41:34,587
AI to try to help you figure out
what you might want to be selecting.
708
00:41:34,820 --> 00:41:35,221
All right.
709
00:41:35,221 --> 00:41:39,325
So in this case, I'm
going to select the model smart object.
710
00:41:39,892 --> 00:41:43,162
I want to make sure that sample
all layers is not turned on.
711
00:41:44,263 --> 00:41:46,632
And let's go ahead and select.
712
00:41:48,267 --> 00:41:53,873
And this by default is on the plus
rather than the new selection.
713
00:41:53,906 --> 00:41:56,275
So let's start making a selection here
714
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:04,717
and now I want to minus some seminar
hold down option.
715
00:42:04,717 --> 00:42:09,021
You can see here, when I hold down option,
it goes to my minus
716
00:42:14,727 --> 00:42:17,196
and with this tool, kind of the slower
you do it
717
00:42:17,429 --> 00:42:21,100
and the smaller
it is, the better the tool works.
718
00:42:21,133 --> 00:42:25,571
And to change the size,
I can use my left and right brackets
719
00:42:27,973 --> 00:42:29,642
or I can go up here
720
00:42:29,642 --> 00:42:32,444
and change the size
and the hardness of the brush
721
00:42:43,689 --> 00:42:43,956
there.
722
00:42:43,956 --> 00:42:49,061
You can see
I've done a relatively good job and now
723
00:42:49,528 --> 00:42:54,199
but in this case, you can see that
my selection is what I want to get rid of.
724
00:42:54,533 --> 00:42:58,103
Whereas in the Fox,
the selection was what I wanted to show.
725
00:42:58,670 --> 00:43:02,007
So this case, when I go to my mask,
I'm going to hold down option.
726
00:43:02,541 --> 00:43:03,075
There you go.
727
00:43:03,075 --> 00:43:05,611
You can see it's now deleted that.
728
00:43:05,611 --> 00:43:07,813
All right. So that's the smart object.
729
00:43:07,813 --> 00:43:10,783
And you're probably thinking,
wow, these cut look terrible.
730
00:43:10,783 --> 00:43:12,885
And that's totally true.
731
00:43:12,885 --> 00:43:16,288
I am going to show you some tricks
on how to do those really well
732
00:43:16,288 --> 00:43:17,256
in other tutorials.
733
00:43:17,256 --> 00:43:21,026
Right now, I just want to get you familiar
with all the tools in Photoshop
734
00:43:22,027 --> 00:43:24,396
or at least
the tools that we're going to be using.
735
00:43:24,429 --> 00:43:27,733
A lot of One thing
736
00:43:27,733 --> 00:43:31,236
actually I missed on the Move tool,
and that's this order select.
737
00:43:31,236 --> 00:43:33,639
I know I mentioned it earlier, but
738
00:43:34,573 --> 00:43:39,178
I always keep that off and the reason for
that is I like the ability.
739
00:43:39,178 --> 00:43:41,179
So like let's turn on these butterflies
740
00:43:41,179 --> 00:43:43,715
to just click anywhere
and start moving a layer.
741
00:43:44,883 --> 00:43:49,021
But if you have a lot of layers,
sometimes it is
742
00:43:49,021 --> 00:43:53,325
helpful to be able to click on it
and select it in the layer stack.
743
00:43:53,992 --> 00:43:57,529
So one way to get around
that is when you have it off
744
00:43:57,829 --> 00:44:01,033
hold down command and it's
going to temporarily turn that on,
745
00:44:01,366 --> 00:44:05,470
you can select the layer
and then let go of command.
746
00:44:05,470 --> 00:44:08,507
And again, you're back to being able
to click anywhere
747
00:44:08,507 --> 00:44:11,777
in the canvas to move that object.
748
00:44:13,078 --> 00:44:13,812
Okay.
749
00:44:13,812 --> 00:44:15,914
I was just a quick recap on that.
750
00:44:16,148 --> 00:44:16,481
All right.
751
00:44:16,481 --> 00:44:19,484
Next we have the crop tool.
752
00:44:19,785 --> 00:44:21,253
When I turn that on
753
00:44:21,253 --> 00:44:24,189
and see my options change here.
754
00:44:24,189 --> 00:44:27,192
And I also have my crop selectors here
755
00:44:27,693 --> 00:44:31,596
to crop, I'm simply going to start click
and start dragging.
756
00:44:32,130 --> 00:44:36,535
You can see as I do
that it's now showing me
757
00:44:36,535 --> 00:44:40,906
the size of all my layers and everything
that's not showing within my canvas.
758
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,010
So that's kind of important
when you're doing a photo
759
00:44:46,344 --> 00:44:50,949
you can see what else is in the image
and that'll help you with your crop.
760
00:44:51,483 --> 00:44:57,989
You can also see here that we've
got our rule of thirds, if you'd like.
761
00:44:58,757 --> 00:45:01,860
There's quite a few other overlays
762
00:45:01,927 --> 00:45:04,863
that Photoshop provides
763
00:45:04,863 --> 00:45:09,367
and if you want to cycle through those,
you can click oh on your keyboard.
764
00:45:10,869 --> 00:45:13,872
And those are just various
765
00:45:13,939 --> 00:45:16,508
when you're doing your cropping
766
00:45:16,508 --> 00:45:19,644
in Photoshop, which will cover
another tutorials as well.
767
00:45:19,644 --> 00:45:23,248
But it's handy to have those here.
768
00:45:23,248 --> 00:45:24,649
You can delete the crop pixels.
769
00:45:24,649 --> 00:45:27,586
So here
it's showing you there's butterflies.
770
00:45:27,586 --> 00:45:29,454
There's more to this image back here.
771
00:45:29,454 --> 00:45:33,158
Generally, I keep that turned off that way
772
00:45:33,758 --> 00:45:36,361
when I'm done cropping,
if I want to crop again
773
00:45:36,361 --> 00:45:39,864
and use some of this information,
it's not deleted.
774
00:45:40,699 --> 00:45:41,366
All right.
775
00:45:41,366 --> 00:45:44,502
And similar to Free Transform,
you can hit a scape,
776
00:45:45,003 --> 00:45:48,840
you can revert it, escape or commit.
777
00:45:48,940 --> 00:45:51,710
So in this case,
we're just going to add escape.
778
00:45:51,710 --> 00:45:52,077
All right.
779
00:45:52,077 --> 00:45:55,747
Next we have the eyedropper
and I want to cover the eyedropper
780
00:45:55,947 --> 00:45:58,416
and our foreground and background
color here.
781
00:45:58,416 --> 00:46:00,652
I know I touched upon these earlier,
782
00:46:01,686 --> 00:46:03,154
but these are
783
00:46:03,154 --> 00:46:06,257
very important
and you're going to use them quite a lot.
784
00:46:06,257 --> 00:46:08,493
So let's cover those with the eyedropper.
785
00:46:08,627 --> 00:46:13,932
So first off, the eyedropper simply
allows you to select a color in the image,
786
00:46:14,299 --> 00:46:17,469
and that's going to change the foreground
color here.
787
00:46:18,203 --> 00:46:20,538
If you hold down option
788
00:46:20,538 --> 00:46:24,142
and click on a color, it's
going to change your background image.
789
00:46:24,542 --> 00:46:28,146
So just clicking changes your foreground
color
790
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,982
option, clicking
changes your background color.
791
00:46:32,016 --> 00:46:34,319
Here you can see the sample size
that's being used.
792
00:46:34,786 --> 00:46:38,156
So if I wanted to select
this little red here and I zoom
793
00:46:38,156 --> 00:46:43,027
in, you can see that
that's really only a few pixels there.
794
00:46:43,027 --> 00:46:45,430
And if I do 11 by 11 average,
795
00:46:45,430 --> 00:46:48,800
I'll never really get that bright pink
color in there.
796
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:52,003
So in that case,
someone might want to go to just
797
00:46:52,003 --> 00:46:55,640
a single point
sample and select that bright red
798
00:46:57,442 --> 00:46:59,911
but on the other hand, if I want to get
799
00:47:00,178 --> 00:47:03,648
this kind of general color in here,
800
00:47:05,049 --> 00:47:08,386
I may want to increase to this to 31.
801
00:47:08,386 --> 00:47:11,289
And what it's doing is it's taking 31
pixel
802
00:47:11,422 --> 00:47:14,492
square
and averaging the color inside that.
803
00:47:15,026 --> 00:47:17,328
So that's one thing important to know.
804
00:47:17,562 --> 00:47:22,166
And also when you set it in the eyedropper
here, it's going to use that
805
00:47:22,233 --> 00:47:26,704
any and other
and in any other tool where you can
806
00:47:27,238 --> 00:47:30,275
select the color,
such as when you're using the brush, which
807
00:47:30,275 --> 00:47:34,245
I'll show you later on, it's
going to use this sample size information.
808
00:47:34,245 --> 00:47:36,848
So best to set it how you want it.
809
00:47:38,349 --> 00:47:42,186
I generally keep it to either
five by five or three by three
810
00:47:42,186 --> 00:47:44,789
unless I have a situation like this
811
00:47:45,189 --> 00:47:47,859
where I need to pick a specific point
812
00:47:49,961 --> 00:47:51,229
Okay, so
813
00:47:51,229 --> 00:47:54,666
let's go to our foreground color
and a background color.
814
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,702
So foreground color is the color
815
00:47:57,702 --> 00:47:59,871
that you're going to be using when you
816
00:48:01,172 --> 00:48:03,341
paint or fill.
817
00:48:05,009 --> 00:48:08,713
It's kind of the color
that's in your paint bucket right now.
818
00:48:09,047 --> 00:48:11,983
And the background color
819
00:48:12,283 --> 00:48:14,619
is kind of your reserve color,
but it's also
820
00:48:14,619 --> 00:48:19,090
if you're deleting to no background,
that's the color it's going to put there.
821
00:48:19,090 --> 00:48:22,126
So I would say your foreground color
822
00:48:22,126 --> 00:48:26,097
is the most important,
but also having two buckets
823
00:48:26,197 --> 00:48:30,935
allows you to sample two colors
which is also helpful.
824
00:48:31,235 --> 00:48:32,303
All right.
825
00:48:32,370 --> 00:48:35,606
So to change a color here,
826
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,342
you can open your color palettes here
827
00:48:39,977 --> 00:48:42,947
Let's go ahead and bring this out here.
828
00:48:42,947 --> 00:48:44,649
I can change the color.
829
00:48:44,649 --> 00:48:47,985
And you can see as I drag around
here, it's changing that foreground color
830
00:48:48,519 --> 00:48:50,421
also have a whole bunch of options here.
831
00:48:50,421 --> 00:48:51,989
I really like color. Will
832
00:48:54,792 --> 00:48:56,127
that allows me to
833
00:48:56,127 --> 00:49:00,331
see all the colors in the color wheel here
and kind of adjust them all.
834
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,203
And also, if I set let's say
835
00:49:05,203 --> 00:49:09,907
I sets my foreground to this,
I can then pick my background here
836
00:49:09,907 --> 00:49:14,145
and set it
and make it opposite to my foreground.
837
00:49:14,145 --> 00:49:17,715
So that's a nice little feature
there, having that color.
838
00:49:17,715 --> 00:49:18,549
Well,
839
00:49:19,617 --> 00:49:21,719
I believe the default is the Hue Cube,
840
00:49:21,852 --> 00:49:23,487
but that's how you can select your color.
841
00:49:23,487 --> 00:49:26,958
Also, if you double click on the color,
you're going to get your color
842
00:49:26,958 --> 00:49:28,359
picker here.
843
00:49:28,359 --> 00:49:33,431
And this allows you to put in,
you know, a web hex value
844
00:49:33,431 --> 00:49:37,868
for the color, allows you to pick it here
or also put in an exact value.
845
00:49:37,868 --> 00:49:41,772
So if someone tells you I've got a red
that's magenta,
846
00:49:41,772 --> 00:49:47,411
100 yellow, 100 and see in case zero,
you could put that in here.
847
00:49:48,012 --> 00:49:49,447
100, 100.
848
00:49:49,447 --> 00:49:52,350
And that would give you that same
dark red.
849
00:49:52,917 --> 00:49:53,317
All right.
850
00:49:53,317 --> 00:49:55,353
So that's how you pick your colors.
851
00:49:55,353 --> 00:49:57,388
Now you'll notice this little icon here.
852
00:49:58,322 --> 00:50:02,560
Let's go ahead and put this away
that defaults here colors
853
00:50:02,593 --> 00:50:06,831
to black for the foreground
and white for the background.
854
00:50:07,498 --> 00:50:10,067
So you can see the shortcut for that is D
855
00:50:10,801 --> 00:50:13,571
I click on that that's going
to change my colors to black and white.
856
00:50:14,238 --> 00:50:17,708
And this here switches
the background and foreground color.
857
00:50:18,709 --> 00:50:21,245
And the shortcut for that is X.
858
00:50:21,245 --> 00:50:23,514
So those are two important shortcuts
to now
859
00:50:24,215 --> 00:50:28,586
D to default these colors
and X to switch the two colors.
860
00:50:29,453 --> 00:50:29,754
All right.
861
00:50:29,754 --> 00:50:34,125
So that covers the eyedropper next
we have the correction tools
862
00:50:34,658 --> 00:50:39,630
and these I'm going to cover
in the next few tutorials.
863
00:50:39,730 --> 00:50:43,200
So I don't really want to cover them here,
but just realize
864
00:50:43,467 --> 00:50:45,970
that these are all tools
they uses Photoshop's
865
00:50:46,203 --> 00:50:50,007
AI technology to get rid of things
in your image that you don't want.
866
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,543
That's kind of the simple way to put it.
867
00:50:52,543 --> 00:50:56,080
And as a photographer, you're going to be
using all these quite a bit,
868
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,283
which is why I don't really want to brush
brush them off here.
869
00:51:00,384 --> 00:51:02,620
Next we have the eraser tool,
870
00:51:02,620 --> 00:51:05,856
and the aggressor tool
allows you to erase things.
871
00:51:05,890 --> 00:51:09,059
And I realize when you're
using the eraser tool to
872
00:51:10,427 --> 00:51:13,898
undo there, you're actually getting rid
of those pixels
873
00:51:14,164 --> 00:51:18,669
in and 99% of situations,
you're going to be better off
874
00:51:18,669 --> 00:51:22,339
going to the brush tool
adding a mask here,
875
00:51:23,140 --> 00:51:25,776
making sure your foreground color is black
876
00:51:26,310 --> 00:51:28,712
and then painting away the object
877
00:51:29,780 --> 00:51:31,715
rather than erasing it.
878
00:51:31,715 --> 00:51:33,317
So that's the paint brush.
879
00:51:33,317 --> 00:51:36,954
The paint brush lets
you paint with your foreground color.
880
00:51:37,554 --> 00:51:41,191
Here, you can adjust the size
and the hardness of your brush.
881
00:51:42,626 --> 00:51:44,561
You can also select
882
00:51:44,561 --> 00:51:47,131
through a whole bunch of presets.
883
00:51:47,665 --> 00:51:49,867
Here you can load more brushes.
884
00:51:49,867 --> 00:51:52,302
We're going to get into this in
quite a bit more detail.
885
00:51:52,636 --> 00:51:54,304
Also, with your brush,
886
00:51:54,304 --> 00:51:58,409
you can change the blending mode
of your brush, you can change the opacity.
887
00:51:58,742 --> 00:51:59,543
It's quite a light.
888
00:51:59,543 --> 00:52:03,747
You can do with your brush,
and that is your brush tool.
889
00:52:04,214 --> 00:52:08,085
We're also going to cover the mix or brush, but definitely not in this tutorial.
890
00:52:09,286 --> 00:52:09,820
Let's go ahead
891
00:52:09,820 --> 00:52:13,357
and delete that layer mask there
892
00:52:13,624 --> 00:52:19,029
and one thing I want to do
893
00:52:19,029 --> 00:52:22,633
with these butterflies,
let's go to our Move tool
894
00:52:23,700 --> 00:52:25,869
just so that we have this kind of image
895
00:52:25,869 --> 00:52:29,039
coming together as we as
I show you the tools here.
896
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,643
Let's go ahead
and do a Command T for Transform.
897
00:52:32,743 --> 00:52:37,614
Hopefully you remember that what I wanted
to do is I want to change this to 50%
898
00:52:38,048 --> 00:52:40,517
and I want to change the angle to 45.
899
00:52:41,552 --> 00:52:45,856
Then I want to put the butterflies here
900
00:52:45,856 --> 00:52:48,892
so that they're kind of around her
like that.
901
00:52:49,359 --> 00:52:52,329
Let's
go ahead and hit the checkmark there.
902
00:52:52,329 --> 00:52:56,733
And with our brush selected,
I actually want to add some shadow here
903
00:52:56,833 --> 00:53:00,637
between her and this background.
904
00:53:00,804 --> 00:53:03,040
So let's go ahead and add a layer here
905
00:53:04,808 --> 00:53:07,177
and call this shadow.
906
00:53:07,177 --> 00:53:10,881
I want
to make sure my color here is black.
907
00:53:11,515 --> 00:53:16,119
I want to go to my brush selector
and select the soft round brush here.
908
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,789
You can see here,
this is the feather on the brush.
909
00:53:19,156 --> 00:53:22,326
Soon as I selected that,
the feather went to zero
910
00:53:23,293 --> 00:53:25,562
and I want to make the brush quite a bit
bigger.
911
00:53:26,163 --> 00:53:29,566
Now, to change your brush while you're
912
00:53:29,566 --> 00:53:32,402
brushing, you can use the right
and left the brackets.
913
00:53:33,003 --> 00:53:35,138
But another really handy shortcut
914
00:53:35,539 --> 00:53:39,109
is hold down control and option.
915
00:53:39,843 --> 00:53:41,144
And by
916
00:53:42,612 --> 00:53:44,348
scrubbing left and right, I'm
917
00:53:44,348 --> 00:53:48,185
going to change the diameter of my brush
and scrubbing up and down.
918
00:53:48,185 --> 00:53:51,254
I'm going to change the feather
of my brush
919
00:53:52,889 --> 00:53:53,290
okay.
920
00:53:53,290 --> 00:53:59,696
So control option, you can interactively
change the size of your brush
921
00:53:59,696 --> 00:54:04,367
and also the feather of your brush
by going up and down.
922
00:54:04,634 --> 00:54:06,036
So let's make this
923
00:54:07,904 --> 00:54:11,274
about 400 pixels at zero hardness
924
00:54:11,575 --> 00:54:14,177
and I'm going to take the opacity
of the brush down
925
00:54:15,579 --> 00:54:18,982
to 20% and you'll notice
926
00:54:18,982 --> 00:54:22,119
that my cursor is just an X.
927
00:54:23,019 --> 00:54:25,055
That's because I have my caps locked down.
928
00:54:25,288 --> 00:54:28,058
If I take my caps off, you can now see,
929
00:54:28,558 --> 00:54:32,762
I can see the size of my brush it's
going to paint a little bit here
930
00:54:32,762 --> 00:54:35,131
just so that there's some shadow
from this fox
931
00:54:39,436 --> 00:54:42,339
and I'm going to change this to overlay
932
00:54:44,674 --> 00:54:45,375
Okay.
933
00:54:45,375 --> 00:54:47,177
So there you go.
934
00:54:47,744 --> 00:54:50,380
That is the brush tool.
935
00:54:50,380 --> 00:54:53,550
Next we have the stamp tool
and the stamp tool
936
00:54:53,550 --> 00:54:56,486
allows you to make a copy of something
937
00:54:58,388 --> 00:55:00,223
by clicking on it
938
00:55:00,223 --> 00:55:03,693
with option
and then painting somewhere else.
939
00:55:03,893 --> 00:55:06,730
And again,
my brush shortcuts still work here
940
00:55:07,764 --> 00:55:08,765
where you can see
941
00:55:11,234 --> 00:55:13,837
it's an easy way to make copy of things
942
00:55:15,972 --> 00:55:19,175
and you can also use this
quite extensively
943
00:55:19,175 --> 00:55:23,146
when you're doing something
like skin corrections and so forth.
944
00:55:23,513 --> 00:55:24,948
But I'm not going to cover that here.
945
00:55:24,948 --> 00:55:27,550
Just know that
that's how you use that stamp tool.
946
00:55:28,284 --> 00:55:31,988
Next, we have the Blur tool,
sharpen tool and Smudge told.
947
00:55:31,988 --> 00:55:34,624
Those are pretty self-explanatory.
948
00:55:34,624 --> 00:55:36,426
I'm not going to cover those right now.
949
00:55:36,426 --> 00:55:39,362
Same with the Dodge Burn and sponge tool.
950
00:55:39,362 --> 00:55:44,868
Sponge tool you can use for saturating
and then Dodge and burn.
951
00:55:44,868 --> 00:55:48,138
Obviously makes things lighter or darker.
952
00:55:48,138 --> 00:55:48,505
All right.
953
00:55:48,505 --> 00:55:50,507
Next we have the Pen Tool.
954
00:55:51,074 --> 00:55:55,712
Now, the pen tool allows you to create
vector paths in Photoshop.
955
00:55:56,212 --> 00:55:58,248
If you don't know what a vector path is,
956
00:55:58,748 --> 00:56:02,352
it is a resolution independent line.
957
00:56:02,619 --> 00:56:04,721
So, for example, if I zoom in here
958
00:56:05,722 --> 00:56:08,491
and let's find a shape.
959
00:56:09,459 --> 00:56:11,394
All right. Let's see her jawline here.
960
00:56:11,394 --> 00:56:15,131
So to use the pencil,
I want to make sure it's up here on path
961
00:56:15,799 --> 00:56:18,501
and I'm going to click.
962
00:56:18,501 --> 00:56:20,937
And then that creates an anchor point.
963
00:56:21,337 --> 00:56:24,874
When I click again, you can see
a line has been created
964
00:56:24,941 --> 00:56:27,610
between those two anchor points.
965
00:56:27,610 --> 00:56:29,913
Let's
go ahead and undo my new anchor point.
966
00:56:30,313 --> 00:56:34,350
Now I'm going to click and rather than
letting go of the mouse, I'm going to drag
967
00:56:35,185 --> 00:56:39,989
and this is the power of paths
is that you get these really nice
968
00:56:40,390 --> 00:56:43,359
smooth curves
969
00:56:44,427 --> 00:56:46,829
and if I zoom in here,
970
00:56:47,397 --> 00:56:50,300
you can see that the curve of her
971
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,137
chin in the image is made with pixels.
972
00:56:54,537 --> 00:56:57,974
And so the more I zoom
in, the more they look like steps.
973
00:56:58,975 --> 00:57:00,009
Whereas the curve
974
00:57:00,009 --> 00:57:04,747
made by the vector
path is a mathematical line
975
00:57:05,048 --> 00:57:07,150
and is independent of resolution.
976
00:57:07,150 --> 00:57:10,520
So no matter how much I zoom
in, it's always got that beautiful smooth
977
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:11,788
curve to it.
978
00:57:11,988 --> 00:57:14,891
So that is the power of curves prefer
979
00:57:15,325 --> 00:57:20,530
I usually make my selections with curves
rather than with the lasso.
980
00:57:20,530 --> 00:57:22,765
And the reason for that is
981
00:57:22,765 --> 00:57:25,101
I have that ability to make nice curves.
982
00:57:25,101 --> 00:57:28,805
And also I can go in here
and after the fact
983
00:57:28,838 --> 00:57:30,873
make changes to that path.
984
00:57:32,542 --> 00:57:34,877
So to do that, I'm going to go
985
00:57:34,877 --> 00:57:37,246
to the path selection tool
986
00:57:38,081 --> 00:57:41,017
and here I can select the whole path
to move it around.
987
00:57:41,317 --> 00:57:46,089
I can also even do a free transform on
the path command t with the path selected,
988
00:57:46,489 --> 00:57:49,926
and I can transform that
path, rotate it and so forth
989
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:52,495
to escape.
990
00:57:52,495 --> 00:57:54,897
And with the direct selection tool,
991
00:57:55,131 --> 00:57:57,700
I can select individual anchor points
992
00:57:58,768 --> 00:58:00,770
and just affect those
993
00:58:00,770 --> 00:58:02,839
or an individual curve.
994
00:58:04,073 --> 00:58:07,877
I can also select one of these handles
and adjust the curve
995
00:58:08,311 --> 00:58:11,514
and we'll get a lot more into paths
and another tutorial.
996
00:58:11,514 --> 00:58:16,085
But just know that that's
kind of the power of paths and the reason
997
00:58:16,085 --> 00:58:17,086
why I use them.
998
00:58:17,086 --> 00:58:19,422
Now, let's go ahead and delete this.
999
00:58:19,856 --> 00:58:24,026
You'll see here in the path palette
that I already have two paths.
1000
00:58:24,627 --> 00:58:26,195
Got the model
1001
00:58:27,096 --> 00:58:29,665
and you can see that
1002
00:58:29,665 --> 00:58:31,834
that's selection that was made of her.
1003
00:58:33,336 --> 00:58:35,404
And we've got the fox.
1004
00:58:35,404 --> 00:58:38,174
You can see
that was a selection made of the Fox.
1005
00:58:38,608 --> 00:58:42,612
Now if we go here
go back to our simple composite
1006
00:58:42,612 --> 00:58:46,382
right to the beginning, and if I go here
1007
00:58:46,382 --> 00:58:49,118
and hold down command,
1008
00:58:49,385 --> 00:58:53,456
that's going to select that path
and turn it into a selection.
1009
00:58:53,956 --> 00:58:56,225
I can go here and add that mask again.
1010
00:58:56,759 --> 00:58:59,729
You can see now we have a cut out of her
1011
00:59:01,664 --> 00:59:02,798
one problem you see here
1012
00:59:02,798 --> 00:59:06,636
is that this is missing
all the background.
1013
00:59:06,669 --> 00:59:09,705
So if I hold down shift
1014
00:59:09,705 --> 00:59:13,275
what I may want to do
is go with my lasso here,
1015
00:59:13,976 --> 00:59:17,046
just kind of make a rough selection,
1016
00:59:17,646 --> 00:59:19,615
less background
1017
00:59:20,616 --> 00:59:21,250
because
1018
00:59:27,323 --> 00:59:28,924
now you'll notice when I let go,
1019
00:59:28,924 --> 00:59:32,595
it doesn't drop the selection
and that's because I'm holding option.
1020
00:59:33,696 --> 00:59:35,965
Option will turn your regular
1021
00:59:35,965 --> 00:59:38,367
lasso into a polygon also.
1022
00:59:39,068 --> 00:59:41,137
All right. So let's select this.
1023
00:59:41,137 --> 00:59:42,938
Go to edit
1024
00:59:43,105 --> 00:59:44,140
fill.
1025
00:59:44,507 --> 00:59:47,576
I want to fill with my background color,
which is white.
1026
00:59:48,844 --> 00:59:50,079
And there you go.
1027
00:59:50,079 --> 00:59:50,479
All right.
1028
00:59:50,479 --> 00:59:52,481
So we now have a better selection
1029
00:59:54,984 --> 00:59:57,720
and we have the fox.
1030
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,756
So if I turn on the Fox layer,
go to my path
1031
01:00:01,891 --> 01:00:04,393
and go to my direct selection tool.
1032
01:00:04,393 --> 01:00:07,463
I can select that path and I can right
mouse
1033
01:00:07,730 --> 01:00:10,199
click and I can go make selection.
1034
01:00:10,766 --> 01:00:14,703
I can also click here to make a selection
or hold down command.
1035
01:00:14,937 --> 01:00:17,006
Click here to make a selection.
1036
01:00:17,006 --> 01:00:22,177
So the beauty of paths is once
you have them, you can use those paths
1037
01:00:22,177 --> 01:00:26,882
to make detailed selections
and you can save those paths for later use
1038
01:00:31,620 --> 01:00:32,521
Okay.
1039
01:00:32,888 --> 01:00:36,425
Next, we have our shapes
1040
01:00:36,425 --> 01:00:38,460
and shapes are basically
1041
01:00:40,529 --> 01:00:45,067
vector shapes
that have a solid fill color.
1042
01:00:45,067 --> 01:00:49,438
So with this,
if I have shape turned on rather than path
1043
01:00:50,873 --> 01:00:54,510
and I make a shape,
you'll see it's created a new layer
1044
01:00:55,477 --> 01:00:58,347
and it's got that little vector
icon down there
1045
01:00:59,815 --> 01:01:01,450
it's going to fill color.
1046
01:01:01,450 --> 01:01:03,352
I can add a stroke to it.
1047
01:01:03,352 --> 01:01:06,388
It's got a wet and a height.
1048
01:01:06,955 --> 01:01:09,692
So it's basically this box.
1049
01:01:10,326 --> 01:01:12,361
And there's other shapes that I can use
here.
1050
01:01:12,728 --> 01:01:16,131
Honestly, for photographers,
you're not going to use this feature much.
1051
01:01:16,131 --> 01:01:18,667
This is more for a graphic design
1052
01:01:18,667 --> 01:01:21,537
but you should know
that it's there and available.
1053
01:01:22,071 --> 01:01:25,074
All right,
let's go ahead and throw that away.
1054
01:01:25,207 --> 01:01:27,242
And that kind of sums up all the tools
1055
01:01:27,242 --> 01:01:29,678
now, all the other tools are accessible
here.
1056
01:01:29,845 --> 01:01:32,181
But really, these are tools
you're not going to use.
1057
01:01:32,181 --> 01:01:35,451
Much of the one other tool we skipped over
was the type tool.
1058
01:01:36,085 --> 01:01:37,719
Let's go ahead and show you that tool
1059
01:01:41,990 --> 01:01:45,360
so with the type tool
1060
01:01:45,427 --> 01:01:48,297
you're going to click
1061
01:01:48,297 --> 01:01:50,499
and start typing.
1062
01:01:50,499 --> 01:01:53,168
So let's say Fox.
1063
01:01:53,168 --> 01:01:57,105
And here you can see
our options have changed up here.
1064
01:01:57,105 --> 01:02:01,410
As soon as we went on to the title,
we have got the name of the font here.
1065
01:02:01,710 --> 01:02:03,745
It's changed that two times
1066
01:02:04,980 --> 01:02:07,249
Make sure font you have time is bold.
1067
01:02:10,252 --> 01:02:12,054
And I want to make sure
1068
01:02:12,054 --> 01:02:16,425
I have all the text selected
before I change the font.
1069
01:02:16,425 --> 01:02:19,628
So to do that
1070
01:02:19,628 --> 01:02:21,630
just go select like that
1071
01:02:22,097 --> 01:02:24,266
and let's go times bold
1072
01:02:26,535 --> 01:02:27,869
There you go.
1073
01:02:28,570 --> 01:02:31,940
Here I can change the point size
1074
01:02:33,875 --> 01:02:37,813
I can also click here and scrub
1075
01:02:38,180 --> 01:02:40,282
This changes the anti-aliasing.
1076
01:02:40,916 --> 01:02:43,285
I would leave that alone here.
1077
01:02:43,285 --> 01:02:45,654
You can right?
1078
01:02:45,654 --> 01:02:49,691
Adjust center or left or.
1079
01:02:49,691 --> 01:02:50,959
Sorry. Right.
1080
01:02:50,959 --> 01:02:52,561
So let's go ahead and center that here.
1081
01:02:52,561 --> 01:02:55,030
You can change the color of the text.
1082
01:02:55,897 --> 01:02:59,167
This has some work tools for Texas
we're not going to get into.
1083
01:02:59,434 --> 01:03:04,006
And this here opens your text palettes
where you have more options
1084
01:03:04,473 --> 01:03:07,909
such as the letting the kerning.
1085
01:03:08,276 --> 01:03:09,144
You can even
1086
01:03:10,479 --> 01:03:13,715
change the height and width of characters.
1087
01:03:14,549 --> 01:03:18,320
This, you can send it to all caps or not
all caps and so forth.
1088
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,056
So these are all options that you have.
1089
01:03:21,056 --> 01:03:23,792
And you'll notice in your layer stack
1090
01:03:23,792 --> 01:03:27,129
here, it's created a
1091
01:03:27,362 --> 01:03:29,498
type, a text layer.
1092
01:03:31,066 --> 01:03:32,134
Okay.
1093
01:03:32,834 --> 01:03:34,836
The text layer,
1094
01:03:35,036 --> 01:03:39,941
aside from being text
pretty much works just as any other layer.
1095
01:03:39,941 --> 01:03:43,245
I can do command to make that layer
bigger,
1096
01:03:44,713 --> 01:03:48,550
hold down option to keep it
and let's just put it there.
1097
01:03:48,917 --> 01:03:51,119
I can change the capacity of that layer.
1098
01:03:51,153 --> 01:03:56,057
So aside from being text,
it behaves very much like our other layer.
1099
01:03:56,057 --> 01:03:59,528
So let's put that under her
1100
01:04:00,996 --> 01:04:01,363
Okay.
1101
01:04:01,363 --> 01:04:04,199
So that's
kind of all of our different layers
1102
01:04:04,900 --> 01:04:07,702
that covers layers, tools, paths,
1103
01:04:07,702 --> 01:04:11,973
which we'll get into a lot more Finally,
I do want to quickly cover our channels
1104
01:04:12,908 --> 01:04:13,375
for another
1105
01:04:13,375 --> 01:04:18,246
GB documents, which this is you're going
to have your red, green and blue channels
1106
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,584
but you can also create channels
for selections.
1107
01:04:23,785 --> 01:04:27,088
And that's a handy way
to save a selection.
1108
01:04:27,088 --> 01:04:31,426
If you make a selection, that's
really detailed, you don't have a place
1109
01:04:31,426 --> 01:04:34,963
to say that you can always come
to your channels, create a new one,
1110
01:04:35,664 --> 01:04:37,966
call it my new selection
1111
01:04:37,966 --> 01:04:41,369
or whatever you want to call it
and put your selection in there.
1112
01:04:41,403 --> 01:04:45,907
Okay, we'll cover that a bit later,
but just realized that's a way to do that.
1113
01:04:46,408 --> 01:04:49,177
In fact, what we can do is delete these
1114
01:04:49,177 --> 01:04:51,413
layer masks
1115
01:04:52,647 --> 01:04:54,449
and if I go to channels,
1116
01:04:54,449 --> 01:04:56,918
hold down command and click,
1117
01:04:57,385 --> 01:05:00,021
it's going to select that,
1118
01:05:00,021 --> 01:05:02,691
and then I can put a mask here
1119
01:05:02,691 --> 01:05:06,428
it's going to do a really nice
cut out there with this is one
1120
01:05:06,428 --> 01:05:09,998
where a lot more detail went into it
1121
01:05:09,998 --> 01:05:13,234
than even the path and same with the fox.
1122
01:05:13,234 --> 01:05:15,937
We're going to go in here,
hold down command,
1123
01:05:16,304 --> 01:05:20,275
select that,
and then add a mass to the fox.
1124
01:05:20,275 --> 01:05:22,811
You can see now
the Fox is nicely put away there.
1125
01:05:24,279 --> 01:05:25,613
And then
1126
01:05:25,613 --> 01:05:29,984
in the end, the last thing I want to do,
because we went back in the history,
1127
01:05:29,984 --> 01:05:34,088
let's quickly put these butterflies
back to how we want them.
1128
01:05:34,088 --> 01:05:36,524
We're going to do command to
1129
01:05:36,524 --> 01:05:39,160
put them on 50%.
1130
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,830
45 degrees
1131
01:05:42,230 --> 01:05:44,232
and then just move them into place here
1132
01:05:47,669 --> 01:05:48,636
and let's
1133
01:05:48,636 --> 01:05:51,806
go ahead
and give this a bit of a color curve.
1134
01:05:53,107 --> 01:05:55,376
And again,
because I'm putting this at the top,
1135
01:05:55,376 --> 01:05:58,213
it's going to adjust my whole image.
1136
01:05:58,213 --> 01:06:01,583
I can give this a little bit of an S-curve
curve by clicking there.
1137
01:06:01,583 --> 01:06:04,686
That's going to create an anchor point
clicking down here
1138
01:06:05,887 --> 01:06:08,556
that's going to give the whole thing
quite a bit, a lot of contrast.
1139
01:06:09,090 --> 01:06:11,225
And this is applying to our GB.
1140
01:06:11,859 --> 01:06:16,064
If I go down here and go to the blue,
I can affect just the blue.
1141
01:06:16,064 --> 01:06:19,200
What I'm doing here is I'm dragging
the very bottom of the blue up
1142
01:06:20,034 --> 01:06:22,870
and the very top of the blue down
1143
01:06:24,939 --> 01:06:26,808
and then we can go to red
1144
01:06:26,808 --> 01:06:29,610
and just punch the middle
of the red up at just about.
1145
01:06:30,378 --> 01:06:30,945
All right.
1146
01:06:30,945 --> 01:06:34,415
So if I turn that on and off
and we can actually take
1147
01:06:34,415 --> 01:06:38,019
the opacity down on the Fox
1148
01:06:38,353 --> 01:06:42,323
and let's go to our text tool
and you'll notice
1149
01:06:42,323 --> 01:06:46,627
that my cursor as I get away from the text
has that square around it.
1150
01:06:46,961 --> 01:06:47,528
That means it's
1151
01:06:47,528 --> 01:06:51,499
going to create a new layer
as I get closer to my text that disappears
1152
01:06:51,766 --> 01:06:54,769
and that means it's going to select
that existing type.
1153
01:06:55,636 --> 01:06:56,404
All right.
1154
01:06:56,404 --> 01:06:59,674
So now I can select that F
and maybe make it
1155
01:06:59,674 --> 01:07:01,642
a couple left
1156
01:07:03,010 --> 01:07:05,346
and then select all of this type
1157
01:07:05,346 --> 01:07:08,349
up in my character
palette here and just turn it in a bit
1158
01:07:15,823 --> 01:07:18,459
and there you go.
1159
01:07:20,795 --> 01:07:21,162
All right.
1160
01:07:21,162 --> 01:07:24,265
So that is a bit of an overview
on all the tools.
1161
01:07:24,465 --> 01:07:28,269
And with it, you can see
kind of the effects that we can make
1162
01:07:29,170 --> 01:07:33,774
if we go here to our history palette, go
to the top, you can see that's a before.
1163
01:07:33,774 --> 01:07:37,478
And if we come down here to the bottom,
that's after
1164
01:07:38,779 --> 01:07:39,213
all right.
1165
01:07:39,213 --> 01:07:43,751
So that is a broad overview
of all the tools in Photoshop
1166
01:07:44,185 --> 01:07:47,321
and also a bit of familiarity
with channels
1167
01:07:47,321 --> 01:07:49,023
and paths
1168
01:07:50,925 --> 01:07:53,194
So now we can go to file
1169
01:07:53,427 --> 01:07:57,265
and save or save as in this case,
we'll just hit save.
1170
01:07:57,899 --> 01:08:00,334
Actually, I'm going to save as
1171
01:08:00,334 --> 01:08:04,138
and we can just change this name
to finished
1172
01:08:05,740 --> 01:08:08,342
seven on the same place.
1173
01:08:08,809 --> 01:08:11,345
And maximize compatibility.
1174
01:08:11,379 --> 01:08:15,516
This will allow the document to be opened
in earlier versions of Photoshop.
1175
01:08:15,983 --> 01:08:17,485
So let's keep that on hit. Okay.
1176
01:08:18,452 --> 01:08:20,621
And then we can hit the little X there.
1177
01:08:20,788 --> 01:08:23,424
I'll now brings back to the Homescreen
1178
01:08:27,428 --> 01:08:28,295
Okay.
1179
01:08:28,295 --> 01:08:33,167
So now we have a bit of a grasp
on the Photoshop workspace.
1180
01:08:34,235 --> 01:08:37,738
Hopefully you can also see
with that composite of the lady in the fox
1181
01:08:37,738 --> 01:08:42,476
some of the things that you can do
with the layer stack and how different
1182
01:08:42,476 --> 01:08:46,714
layers stacked on top of each other
gives Photoshop a lot of power.
1183
01:08:47,248 --> 01:08:50,317
And the next thing we're going to do
1184
01:08:50,384 --> 01:08:53,421
is I want you to do your first composite.
1185
01:08:53,421 --> 01:08:57,858
So in this lesson, we're
going to take two photos, combine them,
1186
01:08:57,992 --> 01:09:02,496
and then use layer blending to create
a really cool double exposure effect.
1187
01:09:02,930 --> 01:09:06,100
So let's get started
1188
01:09:09,837 --> 01:09:12,440
So let's go to file open
1189
01:09:12,440 --> 01:09:15,509
and go to the O
to your first composite folder.
1190
01:09:15,876 --> 01:09:18,412
You're going to see two images in there.
1191
01:09:18,412 --> 01:09:20,114
Let's go ahead and select both of them.
1192
01:09:20,114 --> 01:09:24,285
I'm going to do that by holding shift
and then click down here on open.
1193
01:09:25,419 --> 01:09:26,253
And you can see we
1194
01:09:26,253 --> 01:09:29,590
now have two tabs, one image
and the other image.
1195
01:09:30,124 --> 01:09:34,261
And what I'm going to do
is I'm going to take this one drag it out
1196
01:09:35,129 --> 01:09:39,567
and then take this
and just drag and drop it in here.
1197
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,837
Now, if I just drop it, it'll place it
where I've dropped it
1198
01:09:44,171 --> 01:09:47,608
Let's go ahead and undo that.
1199
01:09:47,942 --> 01:09:49,510
And if you go to window,
1200
01:09:49,510 --> 01:09:53,180
you can see your open documents
so we can select this one here.
1201
01:09:53,547 --> 01:09:56,350
If I hold shift while doing this, it's
1202
01:09:56,350 --> 01:09:59,687
going to center it in this document.
1203
01:09:59,820 --> 01:10:00,220
All right.
1204
01:10:00,220 --> 01:10:00,988
So there you go.
1205
01:10:00,988 --> 01:10:07,261
I have it centered and what I want to do
now is transform this.
1206
01:10:07,294 --> 01:10:09,697
So let's do a command see for transform
1207
01:10:11,065 --> 01:10:12,633
and let's hold down options.
1208
01:10:12,633 --> 01:10:14,635
So we're doing it toward the center.
1209
01:10:14,635 --> 01:10:18,038
And I just want to make it
the same height here.
1210
01:10:18,038 --> 01:10:21,608
And then I'm going to right mouse click
and do a flip
1211
01:10:21,809 --> 01:10:27,081
horizontal Now,
I could also theoretically hold down shift
1212
01:10:28,148 --> 01:10:29,983
and do this
1213
01:10:31,185 --> 01:10:33,220
and that's going to give the same result.
1214
01:10:33,454 --> 01:10:35,923
But doing the command to
1215
01:10:36,990 --> 01:10:40,961
a faster way to do that is right
mouse click and do flip horizontal.
1216
01:10:40,961 --> 01:10:41,829
So there you go.
1217
01:10:41,829 --> 01:10:43,564
I have that how I want it.
1218
01:10:43,564 --> 01:10:45,632
Let's go ahead and commit that transform.
1219
01:10:46,533 --> 01:10:49,002
And now we're going to take
the blending mode
1220
01:10:49,002 --> 01:10:51,538
here from normal to screen.
1221
01:10:52,072 --> 01:10:55,809
And right away you can see
we have a pretty cool looking image.
1222
01:10:56,477 --> 01:10:58,579
Do you think it's a little bit too light
here?
1223
01:10:58,579 --> 01:11:02,950
And I also don't like it
the trees showing in the background here.
1224
01:11:03,250 --> 01:11:04,985
So let's go ahead and take our background.
1225
01:11:04,985 --> 01:11:06,753
I'm going to do command.
1226
01:11:06,753 --> 01:11:09,957
So I have a copy of it
generally when I work,
1227
01:11:09,957 --> 01:11:13,560
I always make a copy of a layer
before I start making adjustments to it.
1228
01:11:14,394 --> 01:11:17,397
That way, I can always go
back to the original if I want to.
1229
01:11:17,831 --> 01:11:19,733
All right. So let's
1230
01:11:20,801 --> 01:11:21,802
on this layer,
1231
01:11:21,802 --> 01:11:25,205
I'm going to go to Image
Adjustments Curves,
1232
01:11:26,473 --> 01:11:28,809
and I move this out of the way here.
1233
01:11:28,809 --> 01:11:31,245
And I'm going to select this little white.
1234
01:11:31,245 --> 01:11:35,048
I drop her here
and just select this color down here,
1235
01:11:35,949 --> 01:11:39,219
and that's going to force everything
that's lighter
1236
01:11:39,253 --> 01:11:40,954
or everything that's that color.
1237
01:11:40,954 --> 01:11:42,222
It's going to force it to white.
1238
01:11:42,222 --> 01:11:44,324
And you can see what that's done up here.
1239
01:11:45,392 --> 01:11:49,162
Another way to do that, let's
go ahead and hold down option
1240
01:11:49,162 --> 01:11:52,633
that will change your cancel button
here to a reset.
1241
01:11:52,633 --> 01:11:54,234
So let's reset.
1242
01:11:54,234 --> 01:11:59,706
I can simply drag this here up
and that's going to do the same thing.
1243
01:11:59,806 --> 01:12:01,541
So there you go.
1244
01:12:01,541 --> 01:12:03,877
I've now made that area white.
1245
01:12:03,877 --> 01:12:05,679
And let's go ahead
1246
01:12:05,679 --> 01:12:09,750
and make this a little more contrasted
by making the darks a little darker.
1247
01:12:10,951 --> 01:12:11,985
You can kind of see in the
1248
01:12:11,985 --> 01:12:15,288
histogram here
where the actual black level is.
1249
01:12:15,789 --> 01:12:18,325
And if we just match that black level,
1250
01:12:18,325 --> 01:12:21,294
that's going to do
most of our work for us.
1251
01:12:21,294 --> 01:12:23,163
Let's hit. Okay.
1252
01:12:23,497 --> 01:12:27,367
And let's take the screen image here.
1253
01:12:27,367 --> 01:12:33,240
The trees, and let's do image adjustments
and curves on that as well.
1254
01:12:33,607 --> 01:12:36,676
And in this case, I want to make this area
a little bit darker
1255
01:12:37,177 --> 01:12:40,781
so I can select this little hand here,
1256
01:12:41,081 --> 01:12:46,019
go to that area, and you can see that
little ball hovering in my curve.
1257
01:12:46,453 --> 01:12:50,056
That's showing me
which part of the curve I need to adjust.
1258
01:12:50,056 --> 01:12:53,193
I can also click
and just drag that down to make
1259
01:12:53,193 --> 01:12:55,095
that a little darker.
1260
01:12:58,231 --> 01:13:02,235
And that looks pretty nice right there.
1261
01:13:02,235 --> 01:13:03,103
Let's hit. Okay.
1262
01:13:04,938 --> 01:13:08,341
And lastly,
I want to give a color grade to this.
1263
01:13:08,542 --> 01:13:11,411
So because I want my color grade to affect
1264
01:13:11,411 --> 01:13:14,347
everything,
I'm going to use an adjustment layer here.
1265
01:13:14,781 --> 01:13:17,017
And again,
we're going to use a curves layer.
1266
01:13:18,752 --> 01:13:20,153
And in this case,
1267
01:13:20,153 --> 01:13:22,289
I'm going to go to my blue channel
1268
01:13:23,223 --> 01:13:27,127
and just bring up the bottom
1269
01:13:27,861 --> 01:13:30,497
that's going to make all of our dark
areas blue
1270
01:13:31,197 --> 01:13:34,200
and then the top am around,
bring that down.
1271
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:36,436
And the opposite of blue is yellow.
1272
01:13:36,670 --> 01:13:40,006
So by bringing this down
in the highlights,
1273
01:13:40,707 --> 01:13:43,510
I'm going to pull in some yellow
into the image there
1274
01:13:45,445 --> 01:13:47,480
and now it looks pretty good.
1275
01:13:47,480 --> 01:13:51,685
And what I may want to do is just add
a little red across the whole image
1276
01:13:52,252 --> 01:13:55,121
just to get a little bit more warmth
into that yellow.
1277
01:13:55,488 --> 01:13:56,690
There you go.
1278
01:13:56,957 --> 01:13:59,426
And this is the Properties tab.
1279
01:14:00,093 --> 01:14:02,996
We can close that after we've done.
1280
01:14:02,996 --> 01:14:06,466
There is not
you don't have to commit a curve as you do
1281
01:14:06,466 --> 01:14:10,537
when you do it on a layer because this is
something you can always go and change.
1282
01:14:10,537 --> 01:14:14,240
If you just double click
that, it'll open the properties tab
1283
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:17,677
or if you have the layer selected,
you can open the properties tab there.
1284
01:14:18,545 --> 01:14:18,845
All right.
1285
01:14:18,845 --> 01:14:20,046
So there you go.
1286
01:14:20,046 --> 01:14:22,515
That image is pretty much how I want it.
1287
01:14:23,149 --> 01:14:27,487
And there you can see the simplicity
of just a few layers there
1288
01:14:28,054 --> 01:14:31,624
and creating a composite
1289
01:14:31,891 --> 01:14:34,127
by just having two layers
and layering them up.
1290
01:14:34,794 --> 01:14:36,930
All right. Now we want to save this.
1291
01:14:36,930 --> 01:14:39,265
And to save this,
1292
01:14:39,766 --> 01:14:44,404
we can go here and save now
because this is layered.
1293
01:14:45,004 --> 01:14:47,440
It will not save the original JPEG.
1294
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:49,509
What it will do is it'll prompt you
1295
01:14:49,509 --> 01:14:53,913
to save a layered TSD file
that's a Photoshop zip file.
1296
01:14:54,414 --> 01:14:56,616
And generally
when you're doing compositing,
1297
01:14:56,616 --> 01:15:00,720
you always want to save a layered file
so that if you want to come back
1298
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:04,557
and do changes,
you have your layers still So let's call
1299
01:15:04,557 --> 01:15:07,060
this my first composite.
1300
01:15:07,961 --> 01:15:10,029
And it's save
1301
01:15:13,032 --> 01:15:13,433
All right.
1302
01:15:13,433 --> 01:15:15,702
So you can see the name has changed here.
1303
01:15:16,336 --> 01:15:19,505
And now what I want to do is
I want to save a jpeg of this
1304
01:15:19,505 --> 01:15:22,475
so I could go here and do save as.
1305
01:15:23,209 --> 01:15:26,346
And here I have the option of saving it
1306
01:15:26,346 --> 01:15:29,349
in all sorts of different formats.
1307
01:15:29,849 --> 01:15:32,719
But when I save a JPEG, I actually
1308
01:15:33,820 --> 01:15:36,889
go here and use
1309
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,495
the export command here
1310
01:15:43,863 --> 01:15:46,065
and save for web.
1311
01:15:46,099 --> 01:15:49,969
Now, this is legacy,
the export as is the new feature
1312
01:15:50,503 --> 01:15:52,772
where it allows you to,
1313
01:15:53,906 --> 01:15:55,675
you know, set your setting here.
1314
01:15:55,675 --> 01:15:56,876
You can change the format.
1315
01:15:56,876 --> 01:16:01,114
Let's say you want it as a JPEG
you can adjust the quality here.
1316
01:16:01,481 --> 01:16:03,750
You can also adjust the scale. So
1317
01:16:05,218 --> 01:16:07,286
if you want to save this
1318
01:16:07,286 --> 01:16:10,656
and all of these changes by the way,
do not affect your layered file.
1319
01:16:10,656 --> 01:16:13,626
They only affect the file
that you're exporting.
1320
01:16:14,527 --> 01:16:18,998
So, you know,
if you want to save this for Instagram,
1321
01:16:18,998 --> 01:16:22,201
for example,
you may want to change this to 1200.
1322
01:16:22,869 --> 01:16:25,772
And you can see it's scaling that down
1323
01:16:27,907 --> 01:16:30,176
you can change the
1324
01:16:31,277 --> 01:16:33,312
profile here if you'd like
1325
01:16:33,312 --> 01:16:36,249
most of these settings
you're not going to do much with
1326
01:16:36,582 --> 01:16:41,420
and if you'd like,
you can also have multiple exports.
1327
01:16:42,555 --> 01:16:45,291
But personally, I'm,
1328
01:16:45,291 --> 01:16:50,363
I really like the original,
the legacy save.
1329
01:16:50,496 --> 01:16:52,632
So I'm going to show you how to use
that as well.
1330
01:16:52,899 --> 01:16:56,602
One nice feature of this is it
also tells you the file size
1331
01:16:56,602 --> 01:16:57,937
that it's going to be right here.
1332
01:16:57,937 --> 01:17:00,006
So if you're doing this for web,
1333
01:17:00,072 --> 01:17:03,943
you can make sure that that file size
is something that works for you.
1334
01:17:03,976 --> 01:17:07,413
But let's go ahead and cancel out of this
and what I want to show you
1335
01:17:07,413 --> 01:17:09,815
now is the save for Web.
1336
01:17:10,750 --> 01:17:14,353
And this interface here is pretty similar,
1337
01:17:15,087 --> 01:17:18,224
but it has some nice
advantages in my opinion.
1338
01:17:19,292 --> 01:17:20,092
So what
1339
01:17:20,092 --> 01:17:23,562
I'm going to do is go up here
and let's pick the JPEG.
1340
01:17:23,562 --> 01:17:28,401
Hi, and let's go down here and fit in view
1341
01:17:30,569 --> 01:17:31,570
and you can see
1342
01:17:31,570 --> 01:17:34,907
this is a preview
of what it's going to export
1343
01:17:36,275 --> 01:17:38,711
and as you make changes here.
1344
01:17:38,711 --> 01:17:40,813
So if I change this to low
1345
01:17:42,948 --> 01:17:46,452
you really can't see it here
because it's so large.
1346
01:17:46,452 --> 01:17:49,288
But let's go ahead
and make this significantly smaller.
1347
01:17:49,288 --> 01:17:53,459
Let's go ahead and make this 500 pixels
and now let's fit
1348
01:17:53,459 --> 01:17:55,194
that in view
1349
01:17:57,396 --> 01:17:59,899
and let's zoom in a little more.
1350
01:17:59,899 --> 01:18:02,635
So here you can see that's the output.
1351
01:18:02,902 --> 01:18:07,573
If I change the quality to medium,
you can see that change in real time.
1352
01:18:08,074 --> 01:18:10,443
High, very high.
1353
01:18:12,511 --> 01:18:14,780
Maximum. So
1354
01:18:14,780 --> 01:18:17,216
this is a great way of seeing
1355
01:18:17,216 --> 01:18:20,319
what your final JPEG
is going to look like.
1356
01:18:20,352 --> 01:18:26,258
You can also see the effect here of what
the converting to as RGV is going to do.
1357
01:18:27,159 --> 01:18:29,895
If you change this, you can see
1358
01:18:31,030 --> 01:18:32,865
how this
1359
01:18:32,865 --> 01:18:35,868
image is going to appear
when you actually upload it.
1360
01:18:35,868 --> 01:18:38,437
I have seen issues
where you upload something
1361
01:18:39,004 --> 01:18:43,008
to the Internet and it looks different
than what you expect.
1362
01:18:43,008 --> 01:18:44,109
But this is a great way,
1363
01:18:44,109 --> 01:18:47,980
in my opinion, to preview
what it's actually going to look like.
1364
01:18:48,480 --> 01:18:51,550
So in this case,
I want to save this for Instagram
1365
01:18:51,650 --> 01:18:53,853
so I'm going to make a 24, 100
1366
01:18:55,421 --> 01:18:58,390
and let's go ahead and fit in view.
1367
01:18:58,657 --> 01:19:02,861
And I mentioned earlier that the shortcut
for Fit and View is Command Zero.
1368
01:19:03,128 --> 01:19:05,798
That works here as well.
1369
01:19:06,732 --> 01:19:09,101
Okay, so 24,
1370
01:19:09,101 --> 01:19:12,171
I'm going to use maximum, but very high.
1371
01:19:12,605 --> 01:19:15,574
Honestly, you can't see
much of a difference between those two
1372
01:19:15,908 --> 01:19:17,943
and it does help on your file size.
1373
01:19:17,943 --> 01:19:20,746
So here you can see 1.15 megabytes.
1374
01:19:20,746 --> 01:19:26,251
If I go to a maximum,
that almost doubles it to 2.5.
1375
01:19:26,285 --> 01:19:29,722
So just keeping it on very high
will save you quite a lot
1376
01:19:29,722 --> 01:19:34,393
in terms of file size
without degrading your image.
1377
01:19:35,594 --> 01:19:36,261
All right.
1378
01:19:36,261 --> 01:19:40,899
And then I'm going to hit
save and let's go to our folder
1379
01:19:42,034 --> 01:19:44,636
and change this here.
1380
01:19:44,636 --> 01:19:45,137
All right.
1381
01:19:45,137 --> 01:19:47,673
And we can call this my first composite.
1382
01:19:47,740 --> 01:19:49,942
Also, notice that it adds dashes
1383
01:19:50,909 --> 01:19:53,812
and it does that because Web files
1384
01:19:54,947 --> 01:19:58,350
don't really support
having spaces in the file name.
1385
01:19:59,017 --> 01:20:02,921
So it just helps you out there
by adding those spaces.
1386
01:20:02,988 --> 01:20:05,224
So let's head save
1387
01:20:05,390 --> 01:20:07,659
and then we can actually close to file
here.
1388
01:20:08,927 --> 01:20:10,963
And let's say save
1389
01:20:12,698 --> 01:20:14,800
and we can close this
1390
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,936
by clicking
this little X or going to file close.
1391
01:20:19,338 --> 01:20:20,539
And there you go.
1392
01:20:20,539 --> 01:20:26,678
You now have a JPEG
and a file of your first composite.
