hi this is Marty from Blue Lightning TV

0:00:11.260,0:00:17.170
I'm going to show you how to make any

0:00:14.139,0:00:18.939
object person or thing pop out of its

0:00:17.170,0:00:22.029
photo giving it a kind of

0:00:18.939,0:00:24.340
three-dimensional effect this is an

0:00:22.029,0:00:26.880
update of a tutorial I did quite a while

0:00:24.340,0:00:30.309
ago on an earlier version of Photoshop

0:00:26.880,0:00:32.200
before we begin for a limited time you

0:00:32.200,0:00:38.230

video's description to get the discount

0:00:43.710,0:00:48.629
open an image you'd like to use for this

0:00:46.149,0:00:51.309
project I downloaded this one from

0:00:48.629,0:00:54.129
shutterstock the first step is to

0:00:51.309,0:00:57.179
convert it into a smart object so we can

0:00:54.129,0:01:00.309
modify it non-destructively to do this

0:00:57.179,0:01:03.850
click the icon at the top right corner

0:01:00.309,0:01:06.629
of the layers panel and click convert to

0:01:03.850,0:01:06.629
smart object

0:01:07.659,0:01:14.960
next we'll crop and size our image

0:01:12.140,0:01:17.299
open your crop tool

0:01:14.960,0:01:20.720
the top there are fields for the width

0:01:17.299,0:01:23.420
height and resolution clear the amount

0:01:20.720,0:01:27.979
in the width field leave it empty in the

0:01:23.420,0:01:31.280
high field type in a thousand px4 pixels

0:01:27.979,0:01:34.940
and for the resolution type in a hundred

0:01:31.280,0:01:38.149
fifty go to a corner and drag in the

0:01:34.940,0:01:40.310
crops bounding box to reposition it just

0:01:38.149,0:01:43.460
drag your image and make sure you leave

0:01:40.310,0:01:46.220
room below your subject then click the

0:01:43.460,0:01:49.520
checkmark at the top or press Enter or

0:01:46.220,0:01:54.259
return to fit it back onto your canvas

0:01:49.520,0:01:55.820
press ctrl or command 0 next we'll

0:01:54.259,0:01:58.850
separate our subject from the background

0:01:55.820,0:02:01.310
by making a selection around the subject

0:01:58.850,0:02:04.009
there are many ways to do this but for

0:02:01.310,0:02:06.830
this example I'll use the quick

0:02:04.009,0:02:09.350
selection tool if you're using this tool

0:02:06.830,0:02:11.700
as well make its radius between five to

0:02:09.350,0:02:14.340
ten pixels

0:02:11.700,0:02:16.440
drag the tool inside your image to make

0:02:14.340,0:02:18.180
a selection of it even though I'm

0:02:16.440,0:02:20.489
dragging the tool over the entire

0:02:18.180,0:02:22.590
subject the bottom two-thirds of your

0:02:20.489,0:02:25.110
subject isn't really necessary to make a

0:02:22.590,0:02:27.599
selection of since just the top third

0:02:25.110,0:02:30.300
will be popping out of the background to

0:02:27.599,0:02:33.269
remove areas of the selection press and

0:02:30.300,0:02:35.190
hold alt or option as you drag over

0:02:33.269,0:02:38.610
those areas

0:02:35.190,0:02:42.560
click the refine edge button or go to

0:02:38.610,0:02:45.050
select and refine edge

0:02:42.560,0:02:47.270
I did an in-depth tutorial on refine

0:02:45.050,0:02:48.830
edge so if you'd like to watch it I

0:02:47.270,0:02:51.980

0:02:58.959,0:03:06.040
amount approximately this much output it

I'll name it BK g for background hide

0:03:48.849,0:03:55.120
the middle two layers let's fill the

0:04:45.310,0:04:51.620
open your rectangular marquee tool

Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
I'm going to show you how make any object,

0:00:14.920,0:00:20.640
person or thing pop out of its photo giving
it a kind of 3-dimensional effect.

0:00:21.580,0:00:26.980
This is an update of a tutorial I did quite awhile ago on an earlier version of Photoshop.

0:00:27.560,0:00:34.140
Before we begin, for a limited time, you can get the most current versions of Photoshop and Lightroom

0:00:34.140,0:00:40.000
and 20 GB of cloud storage altogether for only $7.99 per month.

0:00:40.420,0:00:43.580
Click the link in my video's description to get the discount.

0:00:44.480,0:00:51.060
Open an image you'd like to use for this project. I downloaded this one from Shutterstock. The first step

0:00:51.070,0:00:57.410
is to convert it into a Smart Object, so
we can modify it non-destructively. To do this,

0:00:58.100,0:01:05.520
click the icon at the top, right corner
of the Layers panel and click, "Convert to Smart Object".

0:01:08.240,0:01:15.900
Next, we'll crop and size our
image. Open your Crop Tool. At the top, there

0:01:15.900,0:01:22.140
are fields for the Width, Height and Resolution.
Clear the amount in the Width field. Leave

0:01:22.140,0:01:30.370
it empty. In the Height field, type in 1000
"px" for pixels and for the Resolution, type

0:01:30.370,0:01:38.460
in 150. Go to a corner and drag in the Crop's
Bounding Box. To reposition it, just drag

0:01:38.460,0:01:44.440
your image and make sure you leave room below
your subject. Then, click the check-mark at

0:01:44.440,0:01:53.010
the top or press Enter or Return. To fit it
back onto your canvas, press Ctrl or Cmd + 0.

0:01:53.620,0:01:58.320
Next, we'll separate our subject from the
background by making a selection around the

0:01:58.320,0:02:05.049
subject. There are many ways to do this, but
for this example, I'll use the Quick Selection

0:02:05.049,0:02:10.669
Tool. If your using this tool, as well, make
its Radius between 5 to 10 pixels.

0:02:12.160,0:02:17.620
Drag the tool inside your image to make a selection
of it. Even though I'm dragging the tool over

0:02:17.629,0:02:22.359
the entire subject, the bottom two thirds
of your subject isn't really necessary to

0:02:22.359,0:02:27.680
make a selection of, since just the top third
will be popping out of the background. To

0:02:27.680,0:02:34.360
remove areas of the selection, press and hold
Alt or Option as you drag over those areas.

0:02:35.820,0:02:44.760
Click the "Refine Edge" button or go to Select
and "Refine Edge". I did an in-depth tutorial

0:02:44.760,0:02:50.040
on Refine Edge, so if you'd like to watch
it, I provided its link in my video's description.

0:02:50.560,0:02:58.919
Drag the Radius slider to the right a bit.
Check "Decontaminate Colors" and drag the

0:02:58.919,0:03:06.010
amount approximately this much. Output it
as a "New Layer with Layer Mask" and click

0:03:06.010,0:03:13.799
OK. Don't be concerned if the bottom two thirds
of your subject is roughly cut out. Hide the

0:03:13.799,0:03:23.260
top layer and make the bottom layer visible
and active. Click the New Layer icon to make

0:03:23.260,0:03:31.100
a new layer. Let's name it "Frame". We want
to make a new layer below the bottom layer.

0:03:31.469,0:03:39.829
To do this, make the bottom layer active and
Ctrl-click or Cmd-click on the New Layer icon

0:03:39.829,0:03:48.939
to make a new layer below the active layer.
I'll name it "Bkg" for "Background". Hide

0:03:48.939,0:03:57.259
the middle two layers. Let's fill the background
with a dark gradient. Open your Gradient Tool

0:03:58.290,0:04:04.969
and make sure the Linear Gradient icon is
active. Click the gradient bar to open the

0:04:04.969,0:04:14.409
Gradient Editor. Click this black and white
box. Click the lower, right Stop and the color box.

0:04:17.120,0:04:24.200
In the Brightness field, type in 50.
Then, press Enter or Return twice to close

0:04:24.210,0:04:31.870
both windows. Go to the top of your document
and press and hold Shift as you drag the Gradient

0:04:31.870,0:04:37.730
to the bottom. Then, release. Holding Shift
kept the tool vertical as we dragged it down.

0:04:38.560,0:04:46.880
Make the two middle layers visible and make
the "Frame" layer active. Open your Rectangular

0:04:46.900,0:04:54.009
Marquee Tool and drag a rectangle below the
top of your subject and a bit below the bottom

0:04:54.009,0:05:05.509
of your subject. Go to Edit and "Stroke".
Make the Width: 20 pixels and the Location: Inside.

0:05:06.260,0:05:14.840
Click the color box and pick white.
Then, click OK on both windows to close them.

0:05:16.760,0:05:23.620
Immediately, the selection took on an inside
white stroke 20 pixels wide. To deselect it,

0:05:23.629,0:05:30.120
press Ctrl or Cmd + D. Next, we'll change
the perspective of the white frame. Open your

0:05:30.120,0:05:38.680
Transform Tool by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + T.
Go to a bottom corner and press and hold Ctrl

0:05:38.680,0:05:46.050
+ Alt + Shift on Windows or Cmd + Option +
Shift on a Mac as you drag out approximately
