Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,590
Now that we've got some ideas to pursue for our poster we've got a photo of the main artist.
2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,670
It's time to start building up layers.
3
00:00:07,770 --> 00:00:11,310
But before we do any of that we have to start isolating things.
4
00:00:11,310 --> 00:00:17,610
So imagine that this is really truly a let's say it's a four by six photo anything below this layer
5
00:00:17,610 --> 00:00:18,480
is not going to show through.
6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,260
So this little icon down here next to the trash can is a new layer icon if I click on it.
7
00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:24,590
I've got a new layer to work with.
8
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:30,000
Clicking back on the photo if I command click and command or control on ABC and I click it'll put the
9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,740
layer below it.
10
00:00:30,810 --> 00:00:34,570
So just a little quick shortcut here instead of just clicking a new layer and putting at the top.
11
00:00:34,580 --> 00:00:35,490
I want to layer below.
12
00:00:35,490 --> 00:00:39,600
And the reason why I'm going to come up here to my colors and just get a bright green right here I'm
13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:48,870
going hit alt delete all delete is the shortcut to fill your foreground color to the canvas command
14
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:51,580
delete that fills it with whatever is behind here.
15
00:00:51,580 --> 00:00:53,590
So the background color that's white.
16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,890
So I basically fill this layer with light.
17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,450
I'll delete it again.
18
00:00:57,510 --> 00:01:02,040
I could go to Edit fill right here or shift a file that's another way to do the same thing.
19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,720
So one thing you'll discover in Photoshop there's probably 100 different ways to do the same thing.
20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,760
So these are the shortcuts that I've discovered that I use in my workflow so I'll delete the whole reason
21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,930
I wanted to show you this as I've just filled this new layer with green.
22
00:01:15,210 --> 00:01:19,060
So if I turn off this photo layer you can see my canvas is green behind it.
23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,800
Turn it back on.
24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,300
So this whole white area needs to go away.
25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,170
Right.
26
00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:28,820
Or something else we can explore our layer styles.
27
00:01:28,830 --> 00:01:34,160
So right here we've got normal but I can play with different layer styles and what a layer style is
28
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:39,570
it controls how whatever layer you're selecting interacts with the layer below it.
29
00:01:39,570 --> 00:01:43,590
So right now I'm just clicking on it multiplies one you'll probably use a lot and you'll see what it
30
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:49,560
does multiply hides the lighter tones but keeps the darker tones revealed and then merge that with the
31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,560
layer below it.
32
00:01:50,580 --> 00:01:55,320
So you know if we change the canvas color lets say two.
33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,180
In this case a purple add new layer.
34
00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:57,950
I'll just click on it.
35
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,730
So it put it above the other layer and hit Alt Delete to fill in the foreground color so now he looks
36
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:07,530
purple but maybe I just want my background to be purple or green or texture a photo and I don't want
37
00:02:07,530 --> 00:02:08,670
him to be part of that.
38
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:12,570
So I'm going to come back over here and you could explore more.
39
00:02:12,570 --> 00:02:18,630
So here's another shortcut Ohad make sure you're moved to a selected game with that selected on the
40
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:20,640
layer you want.
41
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:25,000
You can hit the shift and plus or minus keys to cycle through.
42
00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:31,500
Right here as I hold as I hit shift plus I'm basically scrolling through all these options without having
43
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:33,390
to click on each one one at a time.
44
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:36,520
So sometimes that's kind of a creative effect right there.
45
00:02:36,540 --> 00:02:39,540
But sometimes you know that's that's how I find something I want to work with.
46
00:02:39,550 --> 00:02:45,270
Hit shift plus and I just cycle through real quick and just see what different layer styles affected
47
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:46,560
my image in different ways.
48
00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:50,280
In this case I'm going start with normal because I'd like to keep him black and white keep his skin
49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,430
tone how it is I want to just cut him out.
50
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,200
So this is one of the most critical skills you learn in thought or shot.
51
00:02:56,220 --> 00:02:59,000
There's a lot of different ways to cut images out.
52
00:02:59,030 --> 00:03:05,040
One of the rough ways I hit the letter L and hit my lasso tool and I could literally start to just you
53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:11,160
know we'll just do a super rough cut here whatever I trace around I'll get what we call these marching
54
00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:16,610
ants case I've made a selection and there's a lot of different ways to isolate the selection.
55
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:19,170
I could delete it in this case.
56
00:03:19,170 --> 00:03:23,900
I use a hit command J which jump cuts it up to its own layer.
57
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:27,570
So if I turn out the original what I've done now is I've brought this lead to the front.
58
00:03:27,570 --> 00:03:35,100
Obviously it's a terrible selection and it's it's not editable or so now smart object it's destructive
59
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:35,520
editing.
60
00:03:35,530 --> 00:03:39,600
Like I can't ever bring back here where I didn't make a good selection.
61
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:46,020
So making a selection with the marching ants tool and then just jump cutting it isn't probably the best
62
00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:50,340
way to work a better way to work would be to if you make a selection to add a mask.
63
00:03:50,370 --> 00:03:55,140
So down here next to the effects we've got this little square with circle in it.
64
00:03:55,140 --> 00:03:59,370
This is a mask and when I click on it it remembers what's behind it.
65
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,140
But now we're masking it.
66
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:06,990
So anything black hides anything it's white reveals and I can click left or right here I click on the
67
00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:07,500
main image.
68
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:10,840
Now anything I would be doing would be on the actual image.
69
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:14,850
If I click on this mask now I'm working on the mask.
70
00:04:14,850 --> 00:04:19,890
So for example let's say I want to refine my selection I could get the brush tool I had to literally
71
00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:29,010
get the brush tool and I'm going to go to window down to brush and now I can change different settings
72
00:04:29,010 --> 00:04:35,470
like how hard the brushes I can see right here maybe a softer brush turn my spacing down.
73
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,660
I'll bring my size up a little bit and I've also got some other things going on.
74
00:04:38,670 --> 00:04:41,810
I'm going to check these for right now.
75
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,320
These are things we'll get into a little bit later.
76
00:04:44,370 --> 00:04:50,430
So I've got a soft brush I could actually come in here and if I paint with black so I'm painting with
77
00:04:50,430 --> 00:04:54,620
my foreground color which is black on the mask so black is hiding.
78
00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:58,700
X x is a short cut right here to toggle which is in front.
79
00:04:58,710 --> 00:05:05,360
So if my white chip is in front now I'm painting with white and white reveals.
80
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,150
So you can come back in here and you could really I mean this is one way to work.
81
00:05:09,180 --> 00:05:15,130
You could zoom in and really you know refine your selection exactly like you want it.
82
00:05:15,540 --> 00:05:15,800
OK.
83
00:05:15,810 --> 00:05:16,710
That's one way to work.
84
00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:19,110
I'm going to go ahead and turn off this mask.
85
00:05:19,230 --> 00:05:21,590
I can hold down shift and click which just hides the mouse.
86
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,480
It's still there.
87
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:30,780
Shift click to bring it back or I can drag you to the trash gain back to the original image here.
88
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,260
Another way to work a newer tool is this magic wand tool which is kind of a combination I'm sign of
89
00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:38,940
the magic wand but the quick selection tool.
90
00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:42,260
It's kind of a combination between a brush and like the Lasso tool.
91
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:47,950
But in this case it's smart and it detects the color around the edges so I can kind of just drag over
92
00:05:47,940 --> 00:05:51,230
everything here and it's smart enough to know what to include and what to leave.
93
00:05:51,310 --> 00:05:54,450
Now a problem you run into is areas like this is not a lot of contrast.
94
00:05:54,460 --> 00:06:00,410
Technically his shirt is still over here but if I use that tool and a try and you know try and add that
95
00:06:00,430 --> 00:06:05,070
it might work in this case Photoshop is pretty intelligent and it sees but it's not perfect they're
96
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,450
still you know down here it's good having a really hard time.
97
00:06:08,470 --> 00:06:12,550
So but let's say you're just trying to make a quick comp for some of these to see if they even like
98
00:06:12,550 --> 00:06:12,650
it.
99
00:06:12,670 --> 00:06:15,700
You don't want to spend a bunch of time cutting out this image.
100
00:06:15,690 --> 00:06:17,430
You can do a rough cut like this.
101
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,980
Now if I want to add more to this selection right now it's really tough to see but there is a little
102
00:06:22,990 --> 00:06:24,930
tiny plus sign inside of this icon.
103
00:06:24,940 --> 00:06:30,180
If I hold on alt it turns to a minus sign and what that means is now i'm now I'm subtracting from my
104
00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:30,810
selection.
105
00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:34,230
So oops I took too much of a Narraway so I'll zoom in here.
106
00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:35,760
Command an option.
107
00:06:36,030 --> 00:06:37,470
It's a shortcut for my zoom tool.
108
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:42,820
Or you can click over here and zoom in any time in now I'm hitting spacebar to get my hand to all which
109
00:06:42,810 --> 00:06:44,360
is right here.
110
00:06:44,380 --> 00:06:48,970
So any time you can use your keyboard shortcut it's obviously better you'll be much faster so command
111
00:06:50,010 --> 00:06:50,840
spacebar.
112
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:57,790
And now it zooms in are command options spacebar and I get up and I get my zoom out to all.
113
00:06:58,180 --> 00:06:58,990
OK so where are we.
114
00:06:58,990 --> 00:07:04,770
Oh yeah we were on our quick selection to hit the alt key.
115
00:07:04,780 --> 00:07:05,310
I'm sorry.
116
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,550
I won't leave it alone because I want to add back to the net here.
117
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:08,970
There we go.
118
00:07:08,980 --> 00:07:15,040
All right so now I'm going to zoom out a command or I'm sorry spacebar command an alt to zoom out and
119
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,750
let's do the same thing we did last time let's add a little mask.
120
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:19,330
All right.
121
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:20,240
So this is better.
122
00:07:20,290 --> 00:07:20,770
A little bit better.
123
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,840
But you can see we still didn't get everything in the shirt.
124
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,900
The selection isn't quite right.
125
00:07:24,910 --> 00:07:29,840
Still so this would be enough though if I wanted to just quickly mock it up and see if I like it.
126
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,330
All right.
127
00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:35,290
So for me the best way to work what I end up doing all the time is using the pen tool.
128
00:07:35,380 --> 00:07:36,900
So we're going to zip through this pretty quick.
129
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:38,620
It's kind of a complicated tool.
130
00:07:38,620 --> 00:07:43,380
I just want to get the principle to you and then this is something we'll learn more as we go.
131
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:48,640
But what I'm to do is get the pen tool and I want to make sure path is selected instead of shape.
132
00:07:48,630 --> 00:07:54,010
If it's a shape you can actually draw new shapes and you can change the fill color which is great but
133
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,760
right now all I want to do is I just want to use it to create a path and then cut out that path.
134
00:07:58,750 --> 00:08:03,690
So I'm going to delete that shape later still selected I'll hit delete and it goes away.
135
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,710
I'm going to get my pen tool in on the changes from a shape to a path.
136
00:08:07,980 --> 00:08:09,080
OK.
137
00:08:09,370 --> 00:08:15,580
With the pen tool again is something you need to practice but you can click and drag and then click
138
00:08:15,580 --> 00:08:19,820
again and you'll notice I've got my anchor point right here is where the path starts.
139
00:08:20,010 --> 00:08:25,120
It's going to go towards where this handle is it's going to bend towards that and then get down to here
140
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,640
where this other point is and it's bending up because of this anchor point.
141
00:08:28,770 --> 00:08:33,690
If I hit command I can get my selection tool and grab that anchor point and bend the path.
142
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:37,520
So again these are just handles to control this busy a curve here.
143
00:08:37,540 --> 00:08:38,790
So we call it.
144
00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:41,820
And what I like about it is you can get really really precise.
145
00:08:41,830 --> 00:08:45,130
So what we're going to do now is we're going to zip through this real quick.
146
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,760
Over here my paths lay over that path that work path I'm just going to delete it and come back to my
147
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,060
layers.
148
00:08:52,060 --> 00:08:52,800
All right so here we go.
149
00:08:52,810 --> 00:08:54,850
I'm just going to go quick so you can see how I would do this.
150
00:08:54,850 --> 00:08:57,380
And then we can practice these skills more later.
151
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,240
So I hit the caps lock key.
152
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,730
Changed my icon from the pen tool to the precise marker here so I've got my caps lock on and zoom in
153
00:09:05,740 --> 00:09:07,950
real close I'm holding down the spacebar command.
154
00:09:07,970 --> 00:09:10,810
All right now we're going to start cutting this guy out here.
155
00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:13,110
Click and then I'll drag a little bit.
156
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,170
Now hold down the Alt key to change to my this tool here.
157
00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:21,310
This is called the convert point tool.
158
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:26,830
And it just helps you grab these anchor points because otherwise what would happen is if I just hit
159
00:09:26,830 --> 00:09:32,500
my command to ACL grabs that lower curve to and it bends this one well I'm happy with this being here
160
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:35,590
and I want him on all the key to start bending this around.
161
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:35,790
All right.
162
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:36,150
Here we go.
163
00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:38,800
So we're just going to zip along this line real quick.
164
00:09:38,860 --> 00:09:43,960
It's not going to be perfect but it's going to be good enough here to get our poster going.
165
00:09:44,390 --> 00:09:46,070
Let's just zip through this real quick.
166
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:48,320
So I click and I Drage it a little bit.
167
00:09:48,370 --> 00:09:52,690
And the reason why is that my curves are a little bit softer and they're not.
168
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:56,250
Let's say you know like if I just click like this or not jagged if I click and drag.
169
00:09:56,530 --> 00:09:57,950
Right.
170
00:09:58,090 --> 00:09:58,760
And it commands.
171
00:09:58,780 --> 00:10:04,350
Now in Photoshop you take command options of your control alt Z to step back multiple otherwise what
172
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,950
happens if you just want to undo commands.
173
00:10:07,050 --> 00:10:09,180
It just toggles back and forth between the last thing you did.
174
00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:12,420
So you want to step forward or step backward by using command options.
175
00:10:12,550 --> 00:10:13,070
OK.
176
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:13,710
All right.
177
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:17,900
So let's keep going with my selection here.
178
00:10:18,420 --> 00:10:27,930
Click and drag and what we're going to do now is when we get close to the hair we're going to do a different
179
00:10:27,930 --> 00:10:32,830
selection of method and I'll show you that here in just a second so we're going to keep right along
180
00:10:32,830 --> 00:10:39,690
his shirt like once and then click again and drag my handle this way.
181
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:46,350
So my curve comes along here I click out and there is one clicking during this race on my handle.
182
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,430
That's really tough to see on this image but so my handle comes this way and that curve which you probably
183
00:10:50,430 --> 00:10:55,040
can't even see oops comes along that neck. Now I'm going to hit the alt key I'll grab that handle arm
184
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,970
and and bring it right around here so far as his neck M.Com up towards his hair.
185
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:04,300
And now what I meant to do is zoom out real quick and I'm just going to get close.
186
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,890
There's another selection method to get all this hair isolated.
187
00:11:08,070 --> 00:11:10,140
OK I'll come up past the canvas
188
00:11:12,970 --> 00:11:24,010
and we'll come down here and hear a click once and then I'll click again and re click drag down here
189
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,180
click drag to bend that curve.
190
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:27,550
OK.
191
00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:29,210
And now I just need to close that gap.
192
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:30,140
So I come down here.
193
00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:31,860
Click click.
194
00:11:32,590 --> 00:11:38,200
And then when I hover over that open point where we started my cursor changes to this icon with the
195
00:11:38,190 --> 00:11:41,330
pen tool and then the little circle next to it meaning we're closing that path.
196
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,110
OK.
197
00:11:42,180 --> 00:11:43,760
So I've got a path over here.
198
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,520
And what I usually do is I double click and I'll call it something I usually call it just cut out and
199
00:11:47,530 --> 00:11:50,160
what it does now it saves this path in this file.
200
00:11:50,250 --> 00:11:51,550
OK.
201
00:11:51,550 --> 00:11:59,170
Now what we're gonna do is I'm going to hit command return or control return to turn this into a selection
202
00:11:59,160 --> 00:11:59,930
.
203
00:11:59,940 --> 00:12:02,820
You could also grab that path again.
204
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:08,190
Right click and makes you very pencil selected and say make new selection.
205
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:11,170
Click on that and make a selection.
206
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:17,280
So again we're just getting those marching ants ok now I'm going to click on my little masked tool and
207
00:12:17,290 --> 00:12:20,250
I've got this nearly perfect selection if I zoom out.
208
00:12:20,290 --> 00:12:20,900
OK.
209
00:12:21,460 --> 00:12:26,520
So the other thing I would do to polishers up a little bit I need to add this little chunk here SLJ
210
00:12:26,530 --> 00:12:29,070
grab my pen tool and I'll start.
211
00:12:29,130 --> 00:12:35,610
Same thing I just cut them out real quick.
212
00:12:40,630 --> 00:12:47,020
OK close enough I command or turn got my selection now because I'll come under this mask and I can fill
213
00:12:47,010 --> 00:12:47,740
it with black.
214
00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:52,300
I remember when I was filling with green and purple I was holding Alt Delete to fill it with black.
215
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:53,310
Make sure I've got.
216
00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:57,600
You can see the subtle little box I've got selected or am I selection blacks on top.
217
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,980
I hit delete and I've added that to my selection here.
218
00:13:01,090 --> 00:13:02,020
OK.
219
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:04,360
So now we've got a pretty good selection.
220
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,440
Now we're going to do in the next lesson is we're going to really refine this here.
221
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,230
So go ahead and play this on your image.
222
00:13:11,230 --> 00:13:12,330
Play with that pen tool.
223
00:13:12,340 --> 00:13:17,560
Practice making your selections and then next lesson we're going to learn how to make really really
224
00:13:18,730 --> 00:13:20,630
difficult selections with things like hair
