Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,460
let's say you took a pencil and you drew
2
00:00:02,460 --> 00:00:04,860
a closed shape on a piece of paper now
3
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:06,779
what can you do with it you can fill it
4
00:00:06,779 --> 00:00:09,240
up with a color you can outline on it
5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,240
you can cut it out or even burn it with
6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,160
chemicals you can do whatever you want
7
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,039
there are Limitless possibilities now in
8
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:18,720
all of these possibilities there's a
9
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,640
common theme right here what is the
10
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,100
common theme the common theme is we are
11
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:26,220
targeting the same area that we drew
12
00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:28,740
similarly in Photoshop a selection is
13
00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:31,019
simply an area that we are targeting
14
00:00:31,019 --> 00:00:33,000
that's it there are so many ways to
15
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,040
create a selection just to share a demo
16
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,899
with you let us choose the quick
17
00:00:36,899 --> 00:00:39,300
selection tool it is in this group The
18
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:40,860
Magic One the quick selection and the
19
00:00:40,860 --> 00:00:42,840
object selection anytime you want to
20
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,660
open a tool group just click and hold
21
00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:48,719
and the group will open with more tools
22
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:51,239
inside of it so let us choose the quick
23
00:00:51,239 --> 00:00:53,340
selection tool how it works is that it
24
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:55,199
tries to find edges we're going to cover
25
00:00:55,199 --> 00:00:57,180
it in detail later don't worry about it
26
00:00:57,180 --> 00:00:59,399
right now just like the brush with the
27
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:01,199
bracket Keys you can make it bigger or
28
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:04,379
smaller and let's target the sweater or
29
00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:06,180
whatever she's wearing inside I'm not
30
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:08,820
too good with apparel now you can add to
31
00:01:08,820 --> 00:01:11,820
the selection by just painting over
32
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:14,159
certain areas and you can subtract from
33
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:16,920
selections by just holding the ALT key
34
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,439
or the option key and paint on the areas
35
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:21,119
where you don't want the selection to be
36
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:23,700
now the selection is not very proper you
37
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:25,500
can take your time to improve it but
38
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:28,140
once the selection is active that is the
39
00:01:28,140 --> 00:01:30,119
area we would be targeting whatever you
40
00:01:30,119 --> 00:01:32,220
do that will be the area that is going
41
00:01:32,220 --> 00:01:34,140
to be targeted whether you take the
42
00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:36,600
brush and try to paint over it let us
43
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,400
choose a color
44
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,640
it will only fill in in that area or
45
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,560
even if you create an adjustment layer
46
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,420
so let us click on the adjustment layer
47
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:48,360
icon and then choose solid color and
48
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,460
let's go for something like a bright
49
00:01:50,460 --> 00:01:53,100
yellow there you go that is the only
50
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:55,380
area that is being targeted now we did
51
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:57,180
learn it in the layer mask lesson that
52
00:01:57,180 --> 00:01:58,799
is whenever you have an active selection
53
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:01,740
and you create any adjustment layer that
54
00:02:01,740 --> 00:02:04,020
adjustment layer comes with a mask of
55
00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:06,540
that active selection all right now of
56
00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:08,580
course this is not looking realistic but
57
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:11,940
take notice her outfit is white now
58
00:02:11,940 --> 00:02:14,040
whatever you want to paint onto white it
59
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,200
will only darken it because nothing can
60
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,660
get brighter than white so what is the
61
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:20,940
blend mode that darkens multiplier
62
00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:23,760
darkens smoothly that is multiply so
63
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,920
change the blend mode from normal to
64
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:28,440
multiply and just as soon as you do that
65
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,300
have a look at her outfit pretty good
66
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:32,160
isn't it now of course you can go in
67
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,560
zoom in and improve the mask certain
68
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,420
areas are not proper you know already
69
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:39,000
how to do it select the mask take the
70
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,400
brush and paint with white where you
71
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,640
want the adjustment to show up there you
72
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:47,519
go so all in all what is a selection a
73
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:49,680
selection is simply an area that we are
74
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,959
targeting now before we move forward do
75
00:02:51,959 --> 00:02:53,519

storyblocks is the place to check out
102
00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:49,140
link is in the description back to the
103
00:03:49,140 --> 00:03:50,879
video now that we know what selections
104
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:52,620
are the next obvious question that comes
105
00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:53,819
up is
106
00:03:53,819 --> 00:03:56,879
how do we make a selection now there are
107
00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:58,680
so many ways to make a selection and the
108
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,319
list is just about endless let's take a
109
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:03,000
look at a few fundamental ones number
110
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,620
one you can make a selection with the
111
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:06,599
selection tools and these tools can be
112
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:08,940
the lasso tool for example I can just
113
00:04:08,940 --> 00:04:11,580
draw to make a selection the polygonal
114
00:04:11,580 --> 00:04:14,159
lasso tool the magnetic lasso to the
115
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:16,560
rectangular Marquee to there you have it
116
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,899
a selection the elliptical Marquee two
117
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:21,540
there is a selection or you can also use
118
00:04:21,540 --> 00:04:23,400
the magic wand tool the quick selection
119
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,740
tool that we just did or the object
120
00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:27,300
selection tool with the object selection
121
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:29,160
tool just make a rough selection of the
122
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,960
thing you want to select and there you
123
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,940
go you have a selection so that's number
124
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:35,460
one and very obvious number two is pen
125
00:04:35,460 --> 00:04:37,560
two now this is a little more advanced
126
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,720
and we will cover it in future lessons
127
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,360
just to show you a quick Glimpse this is
128
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,880
the pen two and we can just use the pen
129
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,600
tool to create smooth Vector lines like
130
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,060
this now you can turn it into a
131
00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:53,220
selection let me quickly
132
00:04:53,220 --> 00:04:56,340
do a path around the eye now once we do
133
00:04:56,340 --> 00:04:58,380
it any path you make and these are
134
00:04:58,380 --> 00:05:01,320
vector paths will be inside of the parts
135
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,300
tab if you cannot see it go to window
136
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:06,180
and then go to parts right here paths
137
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:07,500
Parts I don't know how to pronounce it
138
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:09,300
so if you click on work path you'll find
139
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:11,040
it right here hold the control or
140
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,020
command click on the thumbnail to turn
141
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:15,000
that into a selection it is the best
142
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,580
tool to get absolute accurate selections
143
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:19,860
but the downside is it also takes some
144
00:05:19,860 --> 00:05:21,540
time but if you're working commercially
145
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:23,520
you're going to be using this a lot we
146
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,080
will cover it in future lessons however
147
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,940
if you're running out of patience you
148
00:05:26,940 --> 00:05:29,039
can watch this master class on pen tool
149
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:30,840
that I had made about five years ago I
150
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:32,699
look very different in that video number
151
00:05:32,699 --> 00:05:34,380
three is color yes you can make a
152
00:05:34,380 --> 00:05:36,000
selection based on color you can save
153
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,460
Photoshop select the blues and it will
154
00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:40,259
make a selection of the Blues number
155
00:05:40,259 --> 00:05:42,060
four is Select and mask which is a whole
156
00:05:42,060 --> 00:05:43,800
different dialog box for making fine
157
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,979
selections number five Adobe Sensei and
158
00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:48,900
these are adobe's AI tools to make a
159
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:51,240
selection for example select subject or
160
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,759
select Sky it makes a selection of the
161
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:55,800
sky number six actually number six and
162
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,840
Beyond you can use the brush too you can
163
00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:59,880
use channels there are so many more ways
164
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,740
to make a selection however some of
165
00:06:01,740 --> 00:06:03,180
these are Advanced Techniques which
166
00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:04,860
we'll cover in the future like the pen
167
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:07,020
tool or channels for right now let us
168
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:08,639
focus on the fundamental ones and let's
169
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:10,500
have a lot of fun let's start with the
170
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:12,000
selection tools and the very first
171
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,520
obvious one is the lasso tool right here
172
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,199
now the last two tool is pretty
173
00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:18,000
straightforward all you have to do is to
174
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,759
draw to make a selection and there you
175
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:23,100
have it now before we do anything let's
176
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:25,020
make a copy of the background layer now
177
00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:28,259
if with the selection active you press
178
00:06:28,259 --> 00:06:31,860
Ctrl or command J this new layer will
179
00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:34,800
have just the selection area so first
180
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,919
make a copy then make changes if you
181
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:40,380
have made the selection already and you
182
00:06:40,380 --> 00:06:42,240
want to just simply duplicate the layer
183
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,580
just drag it and drop it to the plus
184
00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:47,280
icon that way that Fiasco will not
185
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:48,960
happen now let's simply fill it up by
186
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,319
going to edit content aware fill I'm
187
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:53,699
going to keep everything thing to
188
00:06:53,699 --> 00:06:56,039
defaults and we want to Output to
189
00:06:56,039 --> 00:06:57,960
current layer to keep it clean for now
190
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,479
hit OK and that area is filled now
191
00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:01,860
whenever you're done with the selection
192
00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:04,440
to make the selection go away we press
193
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,340
Ctrl or command D D4 deselect Ctrl or
194
00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:10,740
command D deselects now there's one more
195
00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:12,600
thing you should know about that is
196
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,880
feather you can add that later we're
197
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,460
gonna cover it later but if you set a
198
00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:20,940
feather to about 10 pixels the selection
199
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:24,060
would be 10 pixels blurred so right now
200
00:07:24,060 --> 00:07:27,060
if I make a selection like this and if I
201
00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:28,680
try to fill it up with the color for
202
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,319
example let's set the foreground color
203
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,319
to this dark green right here all right
204
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:36,599
hit okay and if I want to fill a
205
00:07:36,599 --> 00:07:38,460
selection all we have to do is to press
206
00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:41,699
alt backspace or option delete now when
207
00:07:41,699 --> 00:07:43,860
I fill have a look at the filling let's
208
00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:46,860
press Ctrl or command D it is smooth
209
00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:50,880
like this it has feather in it okay if
210
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,800
we didn't have feather let's go back to
211
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,479
how was
212
00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:57,660
if we set the feather to zero and now if
213
00:07:57,660 --> 00:07:59,759
we make a selection and now if we fill
214
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:01,800
it have a look there is no smoothness
215
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,180
around the edge so that's what
216
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:04,919
Feathering does you can also add it
217
00:08:04,919 --> 00:08:06,660
later and we'll cover it later now
218
00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:08,400
there's a very minor feature but super
219
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,400
important to watch out for and that is
220
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,780
anti-alias and to understand it better
221
00:08:12,780 --> 00:08:15,360
let us use the elliptical Marquee tool
222
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,639
by the way you'll find anti-alias all
223
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:19,199
throughout Photoshop so right now with
224
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:22,080
the anti-aliasing turned on let us draw
225
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,120
an ellipse and by the way you can hold
226
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,000
the shift key to maintain proportion and
227
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,440
draw a circle if you don't hold the
228
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,520
shift key
229
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,640
you create an oval all right let us draw
230
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,039
this and fill it up to fill up any
231
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,260
selection don't forget alt backspace
232
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:39,599
option delete now let's turn off
233
00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:42,000
anti-aliasing and draw another one right
234
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,919
next to it by the way as you're drawing
235
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,380
you can hold this space bar to move it
236
00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:49,380
around all right let's draw like this
237
00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:51,720
and fill it up so on the right hand side
238
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,240
we have anti-aliasing what it does is
239
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,820
that it introduces transparent pixels to
240
00:08:56,820 --> 00:08:59,279
make the edges smoother on the other
241
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:01,980
hand with anti-aliasing turned off have
242
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:04,019
a look at the edge right here it's
243
00:09:04,019 --> 00:09:06,720
either filling the pixel or not filling
244
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,779
the pixel resulting into a hard Edge now
245
00:09:09,779 --> 00:09:11,279
you have to decide what you want to go
246
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:13,620
for I usually keep anti-aliasing turned
247
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:15,779
on for the most part and now we have the
248
00:09:15,779 --> 00:09:18,660
polygonal lasso too it simply draws
249
00:09:18,660 --> 00:09:21,720
straight lines you click click click
250
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,860
click
251
00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:25,260
there you go now once you reach the
252
00:09:25,260 --> 00:09:27,480
starting point and once it forms a
253
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,760
closed loop it will show an icon next to
254
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,500
it it will show a circle icon next to it
255
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:33,660
which means that now the loop is closing
256
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:36,060
if you click the loop will be closed
257
00:09:36,060 --> 00:09:38,640
another thing is if you draw a selection
258
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,800
and if you draw till right here and from
259
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,720
here you want to close the loop just
260
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,060
double click it will close the loop from
261
00:09:45,060 --> 00:09:46,980
there now we are humans we make mistakes
262
00:09:46,980 --> 00:09:48,839
so sometimes as you're making the
263
00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:51,300
selection you may create a point in the
264
00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:53,760
wrong place like this so how do you go
265
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,820
back yes you can go back by pressing
266
00:09:56,820 --> 00:09:59,640
backspace that point goes away so you
267
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,800
made a mistake you want to go back press
268
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,560
backspace that is gone and now you can
269
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:07,019
redo it now there's a reason that we are
270
00:10:07,019 --> 00:10:08,160
learning the lasso tool and the
271
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,080
polygonal lasso tool together it is
272
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,940
because both of them are related and you
273
00:10:11,940 --> 00:10:13,980
can switch between both of them have a
274
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:16,019
look at this so right now if you select
275
00:10:16,019 --> 00:10:19,200
the lasso2 and if you start drawing all
276
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,839
right if you hold the ALT key and you
277
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:25,019
release the mouse now it is a polygonal
278
00:10:25,019 --> 00:10:27,839
lasso tool right if you hold in the
279
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:30,600
mouse and then you release the ALT key
280
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,180
again now this is the regular lasso tool
281
00:10:33,180 --> 00:10:35,399
pretty fantastic now of course you can
282
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:37,260
fill it up by going to edit content
283
00:10:37,260 --> 00:10:38,760
aware fill I'm going to keep it the way
284
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,860
it is hit okay and there you go where
285
00:10:40,860 --> 00:10:42,420
it's covered now these tools are not
286
00:10:42,420 --> 00:10:44,220
just for making selections but also
287
00:10:44,220 --> 00:10:46,620
improving them so let's say you choose
288
00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:49,440
the rectangular Marquee tool and made a
289
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,600
selection around this one
290
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,480
now you noticed that this area needs to
291
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,000
be selected extra right so you go back
292
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,339
to the lasso tool you can hold the shift
293
00:10:59,339 --> 00:11:02,940
key to turn it into lasso tool plus and
294
00:11:02,940 --> 00:11:04,980
now if you make a selection it will be
295
00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:08,880
added to the selection there you go
296
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,040
there you go if you feel like you have
297
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,000
added
298
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
too much like this you can hold the ALT
299
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,100
key or the option key it turns it into a
300
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:19,860
lasso minus same with the polygonal if
301
00:11:19,860 --> 00:11:21,839
you choose the polygonal lasso tool you
302
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:23,700
hold the ALT key or the option key it's
303
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:25,680
polygonal minus if you hold the shift
304
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:28,680
key it's that tool plus so if you want
305
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:30,779
to subtract hold the ALT key if you want
306
00:11:30,779 --> 00:11:32,399
to add hold the shift key so let's
307
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:34,440
subtract it by holding the ALT key and
308
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,820
then simply
309
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:40,260
subtracted as simple as that now
310
00:11:40,260 --> 00:11:42,300
whatever shortcuts we learned like Shift
311
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,720
4 plus alt or option for minus it's all
312
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,160
right here at the Top If you don't want
313
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,779
to use keyboard shortcuts but why
314
00:11:48,779 --> 00:11:50,279
wouldn't you but you should know that
315
00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:52,380
there are buttons right here so if I
316
00:11:52,380 --> 00:11:55,260
made a selection of this area and we
317
00:11:55,260 --> 00:11:57,600
want to add to it you can click on this
318
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,600
button to add to it
319
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,360
and then you have this button right here
320
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,940
to subtract from it and this is the
321
00:12:05,940 --> 00:12:07,980
regular one you can hold the shift or
322
00:12:07,980 --> 00:12:10,200
the alt to add or subtract and this is
323
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,300
the intersection one interesting so if
324
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:14,160
you select that and make a selection
325
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,220
only the intersecting area will be
326
00:12:17,220 --> 00:12:18,899
selected now let's talk about the quick
327
00:12:18,899 --> 00:12:21,300
selection tool as the name suggests it
328
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:23,579
allows you to make quick selections if
329
00:12:23,579 --> 00:12:25,200
you are using the lasso tool to select
330
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,779
this teapot it will take you ages trying
331
00:12:27,779 --> 00:12:30,660
to precisely match up with the edges the
332
00:12:30,660 --> 00:12:32,339
way quick selection works is that it
333
00:12:32,339 --> 00:12:35,160
tries to find the edges of the object so
334
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,839
let us choose the quick selection tool
335
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:38,700
it will be inside of this group the
336
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:40,680
object selection the quick selection and
337
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:42,839
the magic wand let's go with the quick
338
00:12:42,839 --> 00:12:45,000
selection tool and let's try to select
339
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,860
all of these objects all you have to do
340
00:12:46,860 --> 00:12:50,279
is to just paint over it that's all it
341
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:51,779
tries to find the edges and it
342
00:12:51,779 --> 00:12:53,880
automatically does the selection for you
343
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,220
so let's select this area as well now
344
00:12:56,220 --> 00:12:58,980
sometimes actually more times than I
345
00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:00,779
want to it will select a little a little
346
00:13:00,779 --> 00:13:03,420
bit of the extras so to subtract the
347
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:05,700
extras you would hold the ALT key or the
348
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:07,920
option key and paint on the areas where
349
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,160
it's not supposed to be
350
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,260
and then if it subtracts too much you
351
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:15,420
can just paint back in areas where it is
352
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:16,680
supposed to be now there's going to be
353
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:19,320
times when it is not very accurate and
354
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,000
for those times there are other tools
355
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,220
like the lasso tool you can choose that
356
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:26,519
and say all right this is not a part of
357
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:27,240
it
358
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,579
and subtract that let's select this
359
00:13:29,579 --> 00:13:32,359
object as well
360
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,079
this is okay it's not perfect but it's
361
00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:41,700
okay now there are a couple of options
362
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:44,220
at the top you can try by default know
363
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:45,779
that the quick selection tool is
364
00:13:45,779 --> 00:13:47,820
selected to Quick selection tool plus
365
00:13:47,820 --> 00:13:49,500
and that is why whenever you make a
366
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:52,800
selection it keeps on adding to it you
367
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,019
can also choose minus from the button
368
00:13:55,019 --> 00:13:58,079
right here to subtract an area like this
369
00:13:58,079 --> 00:14:00,540
plus is already selected by default and
370
00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:02,700
this is the regular one with the regular
371
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,260
one if you try to make any other
372
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:06,060
selection the previous selection will be
373
00:14:06,060 --> 00:14:08,880
gone because it's making a selection not
374
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,620
adding to it now if you want a little
375
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:12,600
more enhanced selection you can check
376
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,820
enhance Edge but it doesn't always work
377
00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:16,980
in our favor so you can experiment by
378
00:14:16,980 --> 00:14:19,079
checking it on or off it's up to you
379
00:14:19,079 --> 00:14:21,839
this is important and that is sample all
380
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:24,540
layers right now I deselected it if that
381
00:14:24,540 --> 00:14:26,940
is checked off and there's a new layer
382
00:14:26,940 --> 00:14:28,500
and you try to make a selection right
383
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:29,220
here
384
00:14:29,220 --> 00:14:31,800
it won't do it properly because this
385
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,600
layer is empty no matter how much you
386
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,040
try it won't be able to select the
387
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,860
teapot however if you check sample all
388
00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:40,139
layers it will take all of the layers
389
00:14:40,139 --> 00:14:42,480
into consideration no matter what layer
390
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,980
is selected and then when you make a
391
00:14:43,980 --> 00:14:46,860
selection even on an empty layer it
392
00:14:46,860 --> 00:14:48,540
considers the teapot that's all the
393
00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:49,860
difference there is I'm gonna check it
394
00:14:49,860 --> 00:14:51,839
off for now let's go back to how it was
395
00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:53,940
now we want to place these objects on a
396
00:14:53,940 --> 00:14:55,860
new lab so that we can place it on a
397
00:14:55,860 --> 00:14:58,260
luxurious surface so for it we already
398
00:14:58,260 --> 00:15:01,320
have a selection so just drag it and
399
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,480
drop it to the plus to make a duplicate
400
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,000
and then with the selection active click
401
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,860
on the mask button so right now we have
402
00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:10,500
the objects on its separate layer below
403
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:12,540
it let's introduce something so I have
404
00:15:12,540 --> 00:15:14,399
this marble texture right here let's
405
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:17,160
drag it and drop it right here and make
406
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,360
it larger
407
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,920
now of course this is not looking
408
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440
realistic so change the blend mode from
409
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,019
normal to Overlay since this is a gray
410
00:15:25,019 --> 00:15:26,880
background how does that look it looks
411
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,600
okay but let us try multiply multiply
412
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,519
looks even more realistic but we need to
413
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:34,320
brighten little bits of it to add some
414
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,240
drama why not add a curves adjustment
415
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,160
layer click on the adjustment layer icon
416
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,199
and then choose curves keep in mind
417
00:15:40,199 --> 00:15:42,480
whatever we are doing we are doing it
418
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,240
underneath the objects now to make the
419
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,220
bright areas brighter let's open up the
420
00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:48,540
properties of the curves adjustment
421
00:15:48,540 --> 00:15:50,820
layer so click on the symbol of the
422
00:15:50,820 --> 00:15:52,620
curves adjustment layer and let's take
423
00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:55,800
this slider on the right to the left now
424
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,839
this is looking nice now we only want to
425
00:15:57,839 --> 00:15:59,639
add this highlight to a particular area
426
00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:01,920
so let's keep it that way select the
427
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,860
mask press Ctrl or command I to invert
428
00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:07,380
it now you can take the brush white as
429
00:16:07,380 --> 00:16:08,940
the foreground color make the brush
430
00:16:08,940 --> 00:16:10,980
larger you can take a soft round brush
431
00:16:10,980 --> 00:16:13,920
and just dab right here with white
432
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,839
there you go have a look at it that is
433
00:16:15,839 --> 00:16:18,000
looking fantastic if you want a little
434
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,639
more range you can use the gradient tool
435
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:22,800
right here white to black gradient make
436
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,199
sure you choose the radial gradient and
437
00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:28,380
just draw a gradient like this so right
438
00:16:28,380 --> 00:16:29,820
here inside of the Mask we have this
439
00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:31,740
gradient and it looks fantastic let's
440
00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:35,220
try one more time like this that is even
441
00:16:35,220 --> 00:16:36,060
better
442
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:38,940
so here's the before not as nice here's
443
00:16:38,940 --> 00:16:40,560
the after now let's talk about Adobe
444
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,480
Sensei AI tools and the first one is
445
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,420
Select sky and it's as simple to
446
00:16:45,420 --> 00:16:48,120
understand as its name it does select
447
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,620
the sky so right here we have a
448
00:16:49,620 --> 00:16:51,839
beautiful long exposure wouldn't it be
449
00:16:51,839 --> 00:16:54,600
fantastic to have a more dramatic sky so
450
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,519
for it let's first make a selection of
451
00:16:56,519 --> 00:16:59,339
the sky so let's go to select and choose
452
00:16:59,339 --> 00:17:02,519
Sky that's all once you have a selection
453
00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:04,859
you can do whatever you want with it so
454
00:17:04,859 --> 00:17:06,720
click on the adjustment layer icon and
455
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,240
then choose curves now let me share with
456
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,160
you a trick of Curves by the time we get
457
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,799
to Curves in this course probably you'll
458
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:15,599
learn all the tricks of it and how to
459
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:17,459
use it in the first place let's zoom in
460
00:17:17,459 --> 00:17:20,339
and let's say this is the area that we
461
00:17:20,339 --> 00:17:22,859
want to brighten use the hand right here
462
00:17:22,859 --> 00:17:25,679
click on the hand click and drag it up
463
00:17:25,679 --> 00:17:27,959
to brighten the brightness levels of
464
00:17:27,959 --> 00:17:30,660
that area there you go and let's say
465
00:17:30,660 --> 00:17:32,340
this is the brightness level that we
466
00:17:32,340 --> 00:17:34,559
want to darken notice that as you hover
467
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:36,780
through the image it gives you an
468
00:17:36,780 --> 00:17:38,520
indication of where that brightness
469
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,360
level Falls so click and drag it down to
470
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:44,220
darken it
471
00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:47,880
there you go zoom out and analyze so
472
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,440
here's the before
473
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,900
he has The Afters so dramatic now you
474
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:54,120
can always go back and modify this I
475
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:55,559
feel that this needs to be a little
476
00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:57,600
darker and the dark areas needs to be a
477
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,840
little more darker so there's how you
478
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,179
add that drama now let's talk about
479
00:18:03,179 --> 00:18:05,820
another Adobe Sensei or adobe AI feature
480
00:18:05,820 --> 00:18:08,220
and that is Select subject we have
481
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:09,960
already talked tons about it but there's
482
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,760
a little more to it so here we have a
483
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,440
beautiful landscape and let us composite
484
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,440
a subject on top of it let's drag it and
485
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,720
drop it over the landscape hit enter or
486
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,400
return now the select subject button
487
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,140
will only show up if you choose one of
488
00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:24,240
these three tools the object selection
489
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,700
the quick selection or the magic one I
490
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:28,140
don't know how many times I've said that
491
00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:30,360
but it's important that it gets in your
492
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,340
head now you can simply click on select
493
00:18:32,340 --> 00:18:34,320
subject and it does a pretty good job it
494
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,720
does some AI calculations and there you
495
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,000
have it let's create a mask out of it by
496
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,640
clicking on the mask button right here
497
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,160
let's take a look at the mask hold the
498
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,080
ALT key the option key and click on the
499
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,960
mask to see just it so this is the
500
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,780
masking and it's pretty good even if you
501
00:18:51,780 --> 00:18:53,100
look at the edges they're pretty
502
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:55,620
straight and amazing now that's one way
503
00:18:55,620 --> 00:18:57,419
of doing it if you want a little more
504
00:18:57,419 --> 00:18:59,640
accurate result here's what you do let's
505
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,440
go back to how it was before the
506
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,419
selection you can click on the drop down
507
00:19:03,419 --> 00:19:05,940
right next to it and choose Cloud so
508
00:19:05,940 --> 00:19:07,980
right now device is selected what it
509
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,539
does is that it does the calculations
510
00:19:09,539 --> 00:19:11,700
makes the selections using your computer
511
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:15,480
power if you choose Cloud it uses Adobe
512
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,400
servers to make a more accurate
513
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,740
selection but keep in mind it does send
514
00:19:19,740 --> 00:19:22,080
your image to the cloud to be processed
515
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,020
so if you're concerned about privacy
516
00:19:24,020 --> 00:19:26,340
maybe you don't want to do that it's
517
00:19:26,340 --> 00:19:28,440
absolutely up to you as to where you
518
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,840
stand but for me accuracy is important
519
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,480
so I just simply choose cloud and click
520
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,580
on select subject now if you create a
521
00:19:35,580 --> 00:19:38,160
mask you would notice that it is
522
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,039
relatively more accurate even if you
523
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:43,260
look back right here it is relatively
524
00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:45,660
more accurate you can do a couple tests
525
00:19:45,660 --> 00:19:47,160
of your own and then decide for yourself
526
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,200
now once you have a mask let's click on
527
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,120
the layer to get back to the layer now
528
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:52,860
there's a problem with this composite
529
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:54,480
can you tell what the problem is have a
530
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,100
look in the background the light is
531
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:57,900
coming from the right hand side and the
532
00:19:57,900 --> 00:20:00,000
shadow is on the left hand side but on
533
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,280
the subject the light is coming from the
534
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,900
left hand side and the shadow is on the
535
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:06,299
right hand side so how do we fix it you
536
00:20:06,299 --> 00:20:08,700
can either flip the landscape or flip
537
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:10,320
the subject up to you so select the
538
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,539
subject layer press Ctrl or command d
539
00:20:12,539 --> 00:20:14,880
right click on it and then choose flip
540
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,580
horizontal and there you go fantastic
541
00:20:17,580 --> 00:20:19,799
composite there's another problem with
542
00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:21,720
this the depth is just not there if you
543
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,160
look at the original Background by
544
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,740
holding the shift key and clicking on
545
00:20:25,740 --> 00:20:28,020
the mask it turns off the mask have a
546
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:30,480
look it is blurred but this one is not
547
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,760
as blurred we can blur it just a little
548
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,860
bit so select the background lip let's
549
00:20:34,860 --> 00:20:37,080
go to filter and first convert for smart
550
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,820
filters so that you can change the
551
00:20:38,820 --> 00:20:41,000
filter level later let's go to filter
552
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,980
blur gallery and we're going to use tilt
553
00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:45,900
shift right here you see these solid
554
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:47,700
lines that's where the blur starts what
555
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:50,160
do I mean by that so let's say the blur
556
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,200
is
557
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,880
157 so right here along this sonnet line
558
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,640
the blur is zero as we gradually move
559
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,160
towards one of these dotted lines from
560
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,140
here to here the Blurred gradually
561
00:21:01,140 --> 00:21:03,900
increases for example right here at zero
562
00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:08,700
right head may be 10 20 30 40 50 and it
563
00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:12,780
goes till 157 now what is 157 it is the
564
00:21:12,780 --> 00:21:15,299
number you chose right here now any area
565
00:21:15,299 --> 00:21:18,260
Beyond this dotted line is blurred at
566
00:21:18,260 --> 00:21:21,900
157 pixels similarly the top area as
567
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:24,480
well so this is zero as we gradually
568
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:30,120
move up 0 5 10 15 30 40 50 60 and right
569
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:34,080
here it is 157 and Beyond it it is 157
570
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,600
and the area between the solid lines
571
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,000
play with zero now the way we can work
572
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,280
with it is this the place where he's
573
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,140
standing that area definitely is in
574
00:21:43,140 --> 00:21:45,179
Focus so we can assume his feet is right
575
00:21:45,179 --> 00:21:47,460
here and the blur starts from there and
576
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:49,620
let's take it all the way to this area
577
00:21:49,620 --> 00:21:52,020
so that we have a garage drill blur and
578
00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:53,820
we don't want to add so much blur if you
579
00:21:53,820 --> 00:21:55,559
want to go for it go for it but for
580
00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:57,840
right this image
581
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,600
we're just gonna go for maybe 22. hit
582
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,520
okay
583
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,100
now that looks more realistic now of
584
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:06,480
course you can play with the masking fix
585
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,400
the hair which we'll cover later now you
586
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,960
can easily make selections based on
587
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,640
color you can tell Photoshop all right
588
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,159
this is the color I want to select and
589
00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:16,200
it will do that for you so right here
590
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,820
let's say you want to remove the green
591
00:22:17,820 --> 00:22:20,580
screen so let's go to select and then
592
00:22:20,580 --> 00:22:23,100
color range so right here first of all
593
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:24,780
you can click whatever color you want to
594
00:22:24,780 --> 00:22:26,880
select or you can click on the drop down
595
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,220
of the select right here you can select
596
00:22:29,220 --> 00:22:31,679
the Reds the yellows
597
00:22:31,679 --> 00:22:34,799
the greens science these are presets you
598
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:36,480
can select highlights
599
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,480
or the Shadows it's up to you so I'm
600
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,760
going to choose sampled colors what that
601
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,620
allows you to do is to sample a color
602
00:22:43,620 --> 00:22:45,539
from the image so right now we want to
603
00:22:45,539 --> 00:22:47,820
select the greens but this my friend is
604
00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:49,919
a preview so how do we turn the preview
605
00:22:49,919 --> 00:22:52,080
off click on the drop down of the
606
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,299
selection preview and set that to none
607
00:22:54,299 --> 00:22:56,820
so that no matter what we select the
608
00:22:56,820 --> 00:22:59,039
image stays the way it is and right in
609
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:01,320
here inside of this box we can see the
610
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,600
preview white other areas that is
611
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,280
selected black are the areas that are
612
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,500
not selected you can click on image to
613
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:09,539
look at the image but I leave it at
614
00:23:09,539 --> 00:23:11,280
selection now with the eyedropper right
615
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,659
here make sure it is the first
616
00:23:12,659 --> 00:23:15,299
eyedropper you can click right here to
617
00:23:15,299 --> 00:23:17,039
select the greens as you can see this is
618
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:18,780
a fantastic selection of that color
619
00:23:18,780 --> 00:23:21,059
right here at the top we have fuzziness
620
00:23:21,059 --> 00:23:23,340
you can think of fuzziness as the
621
00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:25,020
tolerance that we covered when we were
622
00:23:25,020 --> 00:23:27,360
talking about the magic wand tool it is
623
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:29,520
simply how similar colors we will be
624
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,220
selecting if the fuzziness is low
625
00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:34,860
colors very close to it will be selected
626
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
as you can see right here as you begin
627
00:23:37,260 --> 00:23:39,720
to increase the fuzziness more and more
628
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,400
similar colors to the color that you
629
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,559
have selected are going to be selected
630
00:23:43,559 --> 00:23:46,740
if the fuzziness is too high it's also
631
00:23:46,740 --> 00:23:48,600
going to select the insides of it by the
632
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,700
way you can change the selection preview
633
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:52,980
to grayscale to see the same preview
634
00:23:52,980 --> 00:23:55,679
right here white are the areas that are
635
00:23:55,679 --> 00:23:57,659
selected of course we don't want her
636
00:23:57,659 --> 00:23:59,880
arms her skin her eyes to be selected
637
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,340
this is a scary image so let's decrease
638
00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:06,299
the fuzziness to about 120 that's nice A
639
00:24:06,299 --> 00:24:07,860
little bit of the eye is selected but we
640
00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:09,419
can take care of that and by the way if
641
00:24:09,419 --> 00:24:11,340
you want to add to this color so besides
642
00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:12,900
green there's a different shade of green
643
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:15,120
which you also want to select you can
644
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:17,340
click on the plus eyedropper and keep on
645
00:24:17,340 --> 00:24:19,740
adding that shade of green let's hit OK
646
00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:21,600
for now here we have a selection another
647
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,340
trick for adding different shades is
648
00:24:23,340 --> 00:24:25,980
this let's go to select color range with
649
00:24:25,980 --> 00:24:27,780
this one and let's say I wanted to
650
00:24:27,780 --> 00:24:30,120
select the Reds of this cup so with the
651
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:31,980
eyedropper I clicked on it now there are
652
00:24:31,980 --> 00:24:33,780
different Shades that are not selected
653
00:24:33,780 --> 00:24:35,159
first of all let's decrease the
654
00:24:35,159 --> 00:24:38,820
fuzziness to about 50 okay so click on
655
00:24:38,820 --> 00:24:41,100
the plus eyedropper and you can keep on
656
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:43,620
adding different shades or you can also
657
00:24:43,620 --> 00:24:46,380
draw so you can just click and hold and
658
00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:48,059
draw over it
659
00:24:48,059 --> 00:24:50,940
once you release all of those shades are
660
00:24:50,940 --> 00:24:53,280
selected click and hold and draw over it
661
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,679
so you can either click click or just
662
00:24:55,679 --> 00:24:57,659
hold and draw let's get back to this
663
00:24:57,659 --> 00:24:59,580
image once you have the selection done
664
00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:01,679
you can hold the ALT key or the option
665
00:25:01,679 --> 00:25:03,720
key and then click on the mask button y
666
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,360
to create a negative mask to fill that
667
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:08,700
selected area with black inside of the
668
00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:10,440
Mask because that's what we want we want
669
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,000
to remove it now this method is
670
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,039
fantastic because it allows you to go
671
00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:17,100
through objects like Wheels where the
672
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,740
selection has to be so so fine right now
673
00:25:19,740 --> 00:25:21,659
of course the masking is not proper if
674
00:25:21,659 --> 00:25:23,100
you hold the ALT key or the option key
675
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:24,840
and click on it there are a couple areas
676
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,700
which are left out so you can take the
677
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:28,980
brush white as the foreground color make
678
00:25:28,980 --> 00:25:30,779
sure the mask is selected and paint
679
00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:33,539
these areas back in not a big deal once
680
00:25:33,539 --> 00:25:34,620
you're done you can change the
681
00:25:34,620 --> 00:25:35,880
background to whatever you like let's
682
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,799
add a pattern click on the adjustment
683
00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:39,779
layer icon and then choose pattern this
684
00:25:39,779 --> 00:25:42,360
is the pattern fill and you can go with
685
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:44,340
anything you want trees let's go with
686
00:25:44,340 --> 00:25:46,140
this one for now just to show you what
687
00:25:46,140 --> 00:25:48,600
it does hit OK of course this needs to
688
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,159
be at the back of the subject you can
689
00:25:50,159 --> 00:25:51,720
double click on it and just like a
690
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,760
gradient adjustment layer you can move
691
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,440
it around to your liking now sometimes
692
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,659
when you create a background let's say a
693
00:25:57,659 --> 00:25:59,400
different colored background like this
694
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,440
one there's a little green still left on
695
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,260
the veil how do we remove it by simply
696
00:26:04,260 --> 00:26:06,000
creating a hue saturation adjustment
697
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,039
clip click on the adjustment layer icon
698
00:26:08,039 --> 00:26:10,919
and then choose Hue saturation we want
699
00:26:10,919 --> 00:26:13,080
it to be limited to the subject layer
700
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,360
how do we do that by creating a clipping
701
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:17,640
mask what is another way of creating a
702
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,799
clipping mask that is simply clicking on
703
00:26:19,799 --> 00:26:21,840
this button you can also hold the ALT
704
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,400
key and click on the line between the
705
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,440
two layers now we want to Target the
706
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,539
greens so for it let's click on the drop
707
00:26:27,539 --> 00:26:30,120
down and choose greens you can increase
708
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:32,520
the range of greens selected first of
709
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,900
all let's take the Hue and the
710
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:35,940
saturation all the way to the right to
711
00:26:35,940 --> 00:26:38,580
see which areas are being targeted then
712
00:26:38,580 --> 00:26:40,679
you can expand the range so that the
713
00:26:40,679 --> 00:26:43,260
skin is not selected but all of the
714
00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:46,080
greens are so if you go too high skin
715
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,900
would be selected so watch out for it
716
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:51,120
and you can make the transition Smoother
717
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:53,820
by increasing the Gap right here even on
718
00:26:53,820 --> 00:26:57,320
the right hand side you can expand it
719
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,600
there you go this is nice and now you
720
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,000
can decrease the overall saturation like
721
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:03,779
this
722
00:27:03,779 --> 00:27:06,240
there you go now the greens are gone
723
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,760
fantastic isn't it you can even move the
724
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,159
Hue a little bit now you can easily have
725
00:27:11,159 --> 00:27:12,840
whatever background you want and not
726
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,880
have the greens attached to it when it
727
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,980
comes to selecting hair or fur there are
728
00:27:16,980 --> 00:27:19,380
so many details so many fine things that
729
00:27:19,380 --> 00:27:21,299
you need some special tools to select
730
00:27:21,299 --> 00:27:23,279
them and we're going to be using select
731
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:25,559
and mask now do keep in mind that select
732
00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:27,659
and mask is such a vast topic that it
733
00:27:27,659 --> 00:27:30,000
deserves a video of its own we're going
734
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,679
to talk about the fundamentals that will
735
00:27:31,679 --> 00:27:34,320
get the job done for you so right here
736
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,240
we have this cat sometimes select
737
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,400
subject is not enough there are lots of
738
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,980
times when it's not enough so we're just
739
00:27:40,980 --> 00:27:42,720
gonna click on select subject by the way
740
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,460
how did we get the select and subject
741
00:27:44,460 --> 00:27:46,620
button by choosing one of these three
742
00:27:46,620 --> 00:27:48,419
tools right here and then we click on
743
00:27:48,419 --> 00:27:51,059
select subject and now let's click on
744
00:27:51,059 --> 00:27:53,460
the mask button to mask it out let's put
745
00:27:53,460 --> 00:27:54,779
a black background click on the
746
00:27:54,779 --> 00:27:56,159
adjustment layer icon and then choose
747
00:27:56,159 --> 00:27:58,559
solid color let's choose black right
748
00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:01,799
here put it behind the Cat Let's name
749
00:28:01,799 --> 00:28:04,320
the last organization is important now
750
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,880
as you can see the fur is completely
751
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,220
gone this is absolutely not a good
752
00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:10,799
selection so you can click on the mask
753
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:13,620
and go to select and mask by clicking on
754
00:28:13,620 --> 00:28:15,900
select and mask at the top now how do we
755
00:28:15,900 --> 00:28:18,059
see the select and mask button you
756
00:28:18,059 --> 00:28:20,460
choose any selection tool any selection
757
00:28:20,460 --> 00:28:22,260
tool and at the top you will see the
758
00:28:22,260 --> 00:28:23,880
select and mask button now we can
759
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,159
definitely go to select and mask it will
760
00:28:26,159 --> 00:28:28,080
open up a new dialog box and you can
761
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,779
improve the selection right here or you
762
00:28:30,779 --> 00:28:32,580
can just do nothing and make the
763
00:28:32,580 --> 00:28:34,620
selection from scratch inside of Select
764
00:28:34,620 --> 00:28:37,200
and mask as well it's up to you so let's
765
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,360
say there was no mask let's drag it and
766
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,760
drop it into the trash can or you can
767
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,799
simply select the mask and press the
768
00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:45,960
delete key it will go that way as well
769
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,580
let's click on select and mask and
770
00:28:47,580 --> 00:28:49,860
directly go there right now you have
771
00:28:49,860 --> 00:28:51,900
different views the first view right
772
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:54,600
here is onion skin now let's change the
773
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,159
background color to something else so
774
00:28:56,159 --> 00:28:58,620
you can know what onion skin is let's
775
00:28:58,620 --> 00:29:01,260
change the background color to dark
776
00:29:01,260 --> 00:29:04,020
purple hit okay let's select the cat
777
00:29:04,020 --> 00:29:07,380
let's go back to selected mask the first
778
00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:09,059
view is onion skin
779
00:29:09,059 --> 00:29:12,120
if you increase the transparency all the
780
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,640
way to 100 only the areas that are
781
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,159
selected will show up and the areas that
782
00:29:17,159 --> 00:29:19,320
are not selected will be of the color of
783
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,240
the layers underneath it so the layer
784
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,039
underneath the cat was what it was
785
00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:25,500
purple so that's why it shows up and
786
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:27,659
right now nothing is selected so nothing
787
00:29:27,659 --> 00:29:30,179
else shows up if you decrease the
788
00:29:30,179 --> 00:29:32,460
transparency all the way to zero
789
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:34,919
everything shows up no matter whether
790
00:29:34,919 --> 00:29:37,620
you have a selection or not so let's set
791
00:29:37,620 --> 00:29:40,260
the transparency to about 50 so that you
792
00:29:40,260 --> 00:29:43,080
can understand it better the first tool
793
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,520
right here on the left is the quick
794
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,440
selection tool and using that tool let's
795
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,000
say we make a selection of the cat and
796
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,559
by the way how did I make the brush
797
00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:52,140
larger don't forget hold the ALT key or
798
00:29:52,140 --> 00:29:54,539
the option key the right Mouse button on
799
00:29:54,539 --> 00:29:56,580
Windows drag it to the right to make it
800
00:29:56,580 --> 00:29:58,679
larger drag it to the left to make it
801
00:29:58,679 --> 00:30:00,960
smaller on a Mac however this shortcut
802
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,820
is different and you hold the control
803
00:30:02,820 --> 00:30:05,640
and option and then click and drag so
804
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,860
let's start making a selection so if the
805
00:30:07,860 --> 00:30:10,500
transparency is at zero everything shows
806
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:12,059
up whether you have made a selection or
807
00:30:12,059 --> 00:30:15,240
not if the transparency is at 100 only
808
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,980
the areas that you have selected will
809
00:30:16,980 --> 00:30:18,659
show up the rest of the areas will
810
00:30:18,659 --> 00:30:20,520
comprise of the layers underneath it
811
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,440
again there are different kinds of views
812
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,380
there is marching ends this shows
813
00:30:25,380 --> 00:30:28,140
marching ends there is on black view or
814
00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:29,940
on white view if we choose on white view
815
00:30:29,940 --> 00:30:32,940
if the opacity is at zero as usual
816
00:30:32,940 --> 00:30:35,700
everything shows up if the opacity is at
817
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:38,520
100 only only the selected area shows up
818
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,799
and the rest of the areas are you
819
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:42,899
guessed it right white because the white
820
00:30:42,899 --> 00:30:45,240
view is selected then there is black and
821
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,740
white white are the areas that are
822
00:30:46,740 --> 00:30:48,240
selected black are the areas that are
823
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,880
not selected very easy to understand for
824
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,159
this example let's set it to on black
825
00:30:53,159 --> 00:30:55,860
and you can decrease the transparency to
826
00:30:55,860 --> 00:30:57,779
see the areas which are not selected
827
00:30:57,779 --> 00:30:59,760
let's make the brush a bit smaller let's
828
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,220
select this area that area now this is
829
00:31:02,220 --> 00:31:04,380
nice now for the edges there's another
830
00:31:04,380 --> 00:31:07,080
tool and that is called the refine Edge
831
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,299
tool right here now before we get into
832
00:31:09,299 --> 00:31:11,039
the refine Edge too you can also try
833
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:12,960
this new button in the later versions of
834
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,659
Photoshop and that is refine here if you
835
00:31:15,659 --> 00:31:17,460
click on it it finds out hair and fur
836
00:31:17,460 --> 00:31:19,500
and tries to paint over it automatically
837
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:22,380
let's click on refine here and it does a
838
00:31:22,380 --> 00:31:24,539
pretty good job let's increase the
839
00:31:24,539 --> 00:31:25,559
opacity
840
00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:28,200
there you go it did the fur idea very
841
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,799
well but it left out this area so how do
842
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:33,539
we fix that area again you can paint
843
00:31:33,539 --> 00:31:36,419
with the refine Edge brush tool let's
844
00:31:36,419 --> 00:31:38,820
paint over the messy areas
845
00:31:38,820 --> 00:31:41,640
and Photoshop does the rest for you hit
846
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,039
OK there you go that looks much better
847
00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:45,600
now there are so many ways to select
848
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,460
here and different situations ask for
849
00:31:47,460 --> 00:31:49,140
different techniques you can refer to
850
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:50,940
this guide about selecting here it
851
00:31:50,940 --> 00:31:52,919
covers every technique that I recommend
852
00:31:52,919 --> 00:31:55,980
for every situation whether you have a
853
00:31:55,980 --> 00:31:58,140
busy background an easy background a
854
00:31:58,140 --> 00:32:00,299
white background whatever the situation
855
00:32:00,299 --> 00:32:02,820
might be you can go through this guide
856
00:32:02,820 --> 00:32:04,380
now there are lots of obsolete
857
00:32:04,380 --> 00:32:05,640
techniques that we are not covering
858
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,700
because they simply do not work have a
859
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:10,020
look at this one so here we have our
860
00:32:10,020 --> 00:32:11,760
subject in focus and the background out
861
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,279
of focus now Adobe did make a selection
862
00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:15,960
technique for it if you go to select
863
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,399
there is an option right here called
864
00:32:17,399 --> 00:32:20,039
Focus area what it's supposed to do is
865
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:22,260
to select the areas that are in Focus
866
00:32:22,260 --> 00:32:24,179
but if you click on it it sometimes
867
00:32:24,179 --> 00:32:27,000
works sometimes doesn't and often the
868
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,399
result is not as good have a look at it
869
00:32:29,399 --> 00:32:31,740
this is what it selects you can play
870
00:32:31,740 --> 00:32:34,500
with the focus range still it is not up
871
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:36,779
to the mark even a simple select subject
872
00:32:36,779 --> 00:32:39,899
does better than this so yeah there are
873
00:32:39,899 --> 00:32:41,640
many techniques like this and we don't
874
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,380
need to cover it or learn it it's fine
875
00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:44,700
now let's say you worked really really
876
00:32:44,700 --> 00:32:46,320
hard to create a selection of the
877
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,120
subject and you want to save this
878
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,520
selection maybe you used hours with the
879
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,320
pen tool are you zoomed in spending a
880
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:53,460
lot of time with the quick selection
881
00:32:53,460 --> 00:32:56,460
tool to get it just right and just to be
882
00:32:56,460 --> 00:32:58,980
safe you want to save the selection how
883
00:32:58,980 --> 00:33:01,020
do you do that you simply go to select
884
00:33:01,020 --> 00:33:04,020
and then save selection you can name it
885
00:33:04,020 --> 00:33:06,000
whatever you want you can save it as a
886
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,919
new channel so I'm just going to name it
887
00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:11,399
couple all right hit OK press controller
888
00:33:11,399 --> 00:33:13,380
command D don't worry about it you can
889
00:33:13,380 --> 00:33:15,299
go on and carry on with your editing
890
00:33:15,299 --> 00:33:17,880
work the selection is saved now you
891
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,320
might ask good mesh that is fine but
892
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,600
where is it saved and how can I load it
893
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,100
there are two ways you can go to
894
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:25,500
channels right here or if you don't see
895
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,240
channels go to window and make sure
896
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,539
channels is checked now inside of
897
00:33:30,539 --> 00:33:32,100
channels you will have this couple
898
00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:34,500
Channel all you have to do is to hold
899
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:37,080
the control or command click on the
900
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,700
thumbnail of the couple Channel and you
901
00:33:38,700 --> 00:33:40,679
have your your selection back one other
902
00:33:40,679 --> 00:33:42,960
straightforward way is you can easily go
903
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,080
to select and then load selection and in
904
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,700
the drop down choose couple if you have
905
00:33:47,700 --> 00:33:49,799
other selections saved it will show up
906
00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:52,140
right here choose the couple one hit
907
00:33:52,140 --> 00:33:54,299
okay and there you have your selection
908
00:33:54,299 --> 00:33:56,220
and that's not a save and load
909
00:33:56,220 --> 00:33:58,019
selections now there are three major
910
00:33:58,019 --> 00:34:00,059
ways in which we can modify a selection
911
00:34:00,059 --> 00:34:02,820
number one contract now what is contract
912
00:34:02,820 --> 00:34:04,380
it's not the agreement that we are
913
00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:06,840
talking about it is simply decreasing it
914
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,119
in size by the way I looked it up in a
915
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:10,560
dictionary so right here we have a
916
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,099
statue and we mask it out as you can see
917
00:34:14,099 --> 00:34:15,839
there's still a little bit of the Halos
918
00:34:15,839 --> 00:34:18,179
around the edge so how can we fix it
919
00:34:18,179 --> 00:34:20,339
first of all let's load the selection
920
00:34:20,339 --> 00:34:22,379
you can create a selection out of a mask
921
00:34:22,379 --> 00:34:24,780
by holding the control or command and
922
00:34:24,780 --> 00:34:27,119
clicking on the mask right here now we
923
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:28,980
have a selection now if we want to push
924
00:34:28,980 --> 00:34:30,599
the selection in or in other words
925
00:34:30,599 --> 00:34:33,300
decrease the size of the selection we
926
00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:36,239
can easily go to select modify and then
927
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,800
contract
928
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,080
now how many pixels you want to contract
929
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,540
it by how much you want to push it in
930
00:34:42,540 --> 00:34:45,000
and this is measured in pixels so let's
931
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,639
first zoom in hit cancel for now how
932
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:49,679
many pixels we want to push it in that's
933
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:53,159
one two three about two or three let's
934
00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:55,879
put it two for now let's go to select
935
00:34:55,879 --> 00:34:59,760
modify and then contract right here
936
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,060
let's choose two pixels hit OK as you
937
00:35:03,060 --> 00:35:05,280
can see the selection goes inside by 2
938
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,380
pixels and now we can paint the outside
939
00:35:07,380 --> 00:35:09,780
with black inside of the Mask so right
940
00:35:09,780 --> 00:35:11,700
now the statue is selected we want to
941
00:35:11,700 --> 00:35:13,859
select the opposite of it now how do we
942
00:35:13,859 --> 00:35:16,619
invert a selection not a mask just the
943
00:35:16,619 --> 00:35:20,400
selection we press Ctrl shift I command
944
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,000
shift I it inverts the selection and we
945
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,160
want to fill it up with black so with
946
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,720
the foreground color black you can
947
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:29,640
always press X to toggle between the
948
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,980
foreground and the background press alt
949
00:35:31,980 --> 00:35:34,619
backspace or option delete and there you
950
00:35:34,619 --> 00:35:37,619
go it's gone press Ctrl or command D the
951
00:35:37,619 --> 00:35:39,780
Halos are gone now the second way to
952
00:35:39,780 --> 00:35:42,060
modify selection is expanding but why
953
00:35:42,060 --> 00:35:43,619
would you want to use it let us
954
00:35:43,619 --> 00:35:45,359
understand with this example let's say
955
00:35:45,359 --> 00:35:47,220
you want to blur the background for it
956
00:35:47,220 --> 00:35:49,260
we want the subject to be on a separate
957
00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:51,720
layer so select the background layer and
958
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:53,880
then press Ctrl or command J to create a
959
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,700
duplicate now select any of these three
960
00:35:56,700 --> 00:35:58,980
tools to have the select subject at the
961
00:35:58,980 --> 00:36:01,260
top I'm repeating it too much click on
962
00:36:01,260 --> 00:36:03,240
select subject but we need to understand
963
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:05,640
it as well now once you have a selection
964
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,440
let's click on the mask button right
965
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,839
here to mask it out and now we have a
966
00:36:09,839 --> 00:36:12,420
subject on a separate layer let's name
967
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:15,000
this layer subject now we cannot just
968
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,740
simply select the background and blur it
969
00:36:16,740 --> 00:36:18,660
if we try to do that it will create a
970
00:36:18,660 --> 00:36:20,579
haloing effect around the edge
971
00:36:20,579 --> 00:36:22,440
so if you select the background let's go
972
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,780
to filter blur and then gaussian blur
973
00:36:24,780 --> 00:36:25,800
for now
974
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,020
have a look it creates this halo effect
975
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:31,800
around the edge 52.4 is okay hit okay
976
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,380
why is the halo effect happening because
977
00:36:34,380 --> 00:36:36,420
if you turn off the subject the
978
00:36:36,420 --> 00:36:38,700
background we just blurred also had the
979
00:36:38,700 --> 00:36:41,460
subject in it which also got blurred so
980
00:36:41,460 --> 00:36:43,260
when you turn on the subject that didn't
981
00:36:43,260 --> 00:36:46,500
sound right but anyway you see this
982
00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:48,180
haloing around the edge that is the
983
00:36:48,180 --> 00:36:50,880
Blurred part of the subject that we just
984
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,619
blurred along with the background so we
985
00:36:52,619 --> 00:36:54,060
need to remove the subject before
986
00:36:54,060 --> 00:36:56,040
blurring the background again we cannot
987
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,320
simply remove it have a look at it let's
988
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,359
go back to how it was now let's turn off
989
00:37:00,359 --> 00:37:02,160
the subject layer for now let's make a
990
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,599
duplicate of the background layer just
991
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:05,940
to have a backup press Ctrl or command J
992
00:37:05,940 --> 00:37:07,680
and now let's make a selection of the
993
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,780
subject again we already have a mask so
994
00:37:09,780 --> 00:37:12,359
hold the Ctrl or command click on the
995
00:37:12,359 --> 00:37:14,520
mask to create a selection to load the
996
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,619
selection and then if you directly go to
997
00:37:16,619 --> 00:37:19,500
edit and then content aware fill and
998
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:21,540
make sure the output is current layer to
999
00:37:21,540 --> 00:37:23,940
keep it simple and hit OK you'll see
1000
00:37:23,940 --> 00:37:26,520
some problem press Ctrl or command D
1001
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,400
have a look around the edges it leaves
1002
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,460
out traces so how do we fix that let's
1003
00:37:32,460 --> 00:37:34,800
go back to how it was the way to fix it
1004
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,500
is first let's load the selection by
1005
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:38,940
holding the control or command and
1006
00:37:38,940 --> 00:37:41,160
clicking on the mask and now what if you
1007
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,160
expand the selection by going to select
1008
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,640
modify and then expand let's expand it
1009
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,160
by 50 pixels that should be fine hit OK
1010
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,220
it is expanded and now let's fill it
1011
00:37:53,220 --> 00:37:56,760
let's go to edit content aware fill no
1012
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,119
chance of leaving traces hit OK
1013
00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:02,339
now the subject is gone press Ctrl or
1014
00:38:02,339 --> 00:38:05,520
command D and now let's turn on the
1015
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,079
subject and now you can select the
1016
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:08,700
background right here let's go to filter
1017
00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:11,160
convert for smart filters so that
1018
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,839
whatever filter we apply we can change
1019
00:38:12,839 --> 00:38:15,119
the values later now let's go to filter
1020
00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:18,240
blur Gallery tilt shift because we want
1021
00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:20,940
to add a gradual blur we already covered
1022
00:38:20,940 --> 00:38:22,920
tilt shift before in this lesson so if
1023
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,359
this is confusing to you you can rewind
1024
00:38:24,359 --> 00:38:25,500
the video
1025
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:27,660
let's start the blur from right here
1026
00:38:27,660 --> 00:38:30,000
make it gradual to this point
1027
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,800
and add some blur about 70. hit OK and
1028
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,720
that's how to blur the background I did
1029
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:38,579
too much so that you can see what is
1030
00:38:38,579 --> 00:38:40,200
happening right here so here's the
1031
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,300
before here's the after and the last
1032
00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:44,400
major way to modify a selection is
1033
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,520
feather it simply makes it soft we
1034
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,020
already covered it when we were talking
1035
00:38:49,020 --> 00:38:51,599
about the lasso tool but you can modify
1036
00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:53,280
it later as well and here's how to do it
1037
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,200
let's say you want to add some shine to
1038
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,140
the eyes so for it let us choose the
1039
00:38:58,140 --> 00:39:00,359
elliptical Marquee tool and create a new
1040
00:39:00,359 --> 00:39:01,980
layer first of all click on the new
1041
00:39:01,980 --> 00:39:05,760
layer button and create an ellipse like
1042
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,280
this now to move the ellipse as you're
1043
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,859
holding the mouse or the graphic tablet
1044
00:39:10,859 --> 00:39:13,800
hold the spacebar to move it around and
1045
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,440
set it inside of the eyeball just like
1046
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,020
this let's make it slightly smaller
1047
00:39:19,020 --> 00:39:21,480
set it like this this is fine let's
1048
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,940
leave it B now we don't want it on the
1049
00:39:23,940 --> 00:39:26,160
eyeball so hold the ALT key or the
1050
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,700
option key to subtract it and drag it
1051
00:39:29,700 --> 00:39:31,380
like this now as you're holding the ALT
1052
00:39:31,380 --> 00:39:33,180
key or the option key you can also hold
1053
00:39:33,180 --> 00:39:35,640
the spacebar to move it around
1054
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,280
so let's move it around like this okay
1055
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,740
now also we want to subtract the top so
1056
00:39:40,740 --> 00:39:42,960
hold the ALT key or the option key again
1057
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,859
and create one like this let's subtract
1058
00:39:46,859 --> 00:39:48,599
the top if you want to subtract the
1059
00:39:48,599 --> 00:39:50,820
bottom and want to keep just the intest
1060
00:39:50,820 --> 00:39:52,800
section you can click on this button
1061
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,040
right here and create one like this see
1062
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,380
that keeps only the intersection now if
1063
00:39:58,380 --> 00:40:00,359
you directly fill it with white first of
1064
00:40:00,359 --> 00:40:01,619
all make sure the foreground color is
1065
00:40:01,619 --> 00:40:03,480
white press X to toggle between the
1066
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,339
foreground and the background and if you
1067
00:40:05,339 --> 00:40:07,320
fill it by pressing alt backspace or
1068
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,460
option delete
1069
00:40:08,460 --> 00:40:11,520
it's just too harsh let's go back by
1070
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,220
pressing Ctrl or command Z or Z let's go
1071
00:40:14,220 --> 00:40:17,400
to select modify and then feather let's
1072
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,339
add a feather of about 10 pixels hit OK
1073
00:40:20,339 --> 00:40:22,800
and now it is soft and now let's fill it
1074
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,619
by pressing alt backspace it's much
1075
00:40:25,619 --> 00:40:28,140
softer press Ctrl or command D to
1076
00:40:28,140 --> 00:40:29,940
deselect and now you can change the
1077
00:40:29,940 --> 00:40:31,740
blend mode of this one from normal to
1078
00:40:31,740 --> 00:40:34,200
Overlay and that's how you add light to
1079
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,060
the eyes now we can definitely make a
1080
00:40:36,060 --> 00:40:37,740
copy of this light for the other eye
1081
00:40:37,740 --> 00:40:40,200
select the move tool right here hold the
1082
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,660
ALT key or the option key and click and
1083
00:40:42,660 --> 00:40:45,480
drag and drop it right here there you go
1084
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,520
we can move it around slightly
1085
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,920
