Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
I'm going to you show you how to make your
0:00:12.920,0:00:20.280
color photos more engaging, fun and personal.
You can apply these techniques to virtually any photo.
0:00:21.779,0:00:27.980
Open a color image you'd like to
use. I downloaded this one from Shutterstock.com.
0:00:27.980,0:00:34.060
The first step is to convert it into a Smart
Object, so we can make adjustments to it non-destructively.
0:00:34.060,0:00:38.750
It'll also allow us to replace the photo with
a different one without having to redo all
0:00:38.750,0:00:45.379
the effects. To do this, click the icon at
the upper, right of the Layers panel and click
0:00:45.379,0:00:47.079
"Convert to Smart Object".
0:00:49.080,0:00:52.680
Make a copy of it by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + J.
0:00:54.740,0:00:57.660
Click off the eyeball next to the copy to hide the layer
0:00:58.100,0:01:01.120
and click the thumbnail of the bottom layer to make it active.
0:01:02.500,0:01:08.800
Go to Filter and Filter
Gallery. Open the Texture folder and click
0:01:08.810,0:01:17.830
"Grain". Make the Intensity: 20, the Contrast:
50 and the Grain Type: Clumped. Then, click OK.
0:01:21.040,0:01:24.300
Go back to Filter and Lens Correction.
0:01:27.800,0:01:29.300
Click the Custom tab
0:01:30.320,0:01:33.200
and drag the Vignette Amount all the way to the left.
0:01:34.780,0:01:36.280
Then, click OK.
0:01:38.700,0:01:43.700
Click the Adjustment layer icon and click Hue/Saturation.
0:01:46.880,0:01:50.900
Drag the Saturation all the
way to the left to remove all the color.
0:01:52.810,0:01:59.070
We want to make new layer below the adjustment
layer. To do this, Ctrl-click or Cmd-click
0:01:59.070,0:02:00.770
on the New Layer icon.
0:02:02.940,0:02:04.940
Open your Rectangular Marquee Tool
0:02:06.580,0:02:10.980
and drag a rectangle over the general area you'd like to revert back to color.
0:02:12.900,0:02:15.320
Go to Edit and Stroke.
0:02:16.600,0:02:19.200
I'll make the Stroke: 30 pixels, however,
0:02:19.440,0:02:22.320
depending on the
resolution of your photo, you may want to
0:02:22.330,0:02:30.230
use a different amount. Make the Location:
Inside and click the color box. Pick white.
0:02:31.120,0:02:33.900
Then, click OK on both windows.
0:02:36.400,0:02:42.240
To deselect it, press Ctrl or Cmd + D. To angle your frame,
0:02:42.250,0:02:46.550
open the Transform Tool by pressing Ctrl or
Cmd + T.
0:02:47.860,0:02:51.180
Go to a corner and when you see a curved, double-arrow,
0:02:51.580,0:02:56.560
rotate it to angle you
like. To reposition it over the area, go inside
0:02:56.570,0:03:01.950
the Transform and drag the frame. Then, press Enter or Return.
0:03:03.920,0:03:09.400
Ctrl-click or Cmd-click on the thumbnail of the frame to make a selection of its shape.
0:03:09.880,0:03:12.460
Press "Q" to make it into a quick mask.
0:03:14.360,0:03:16.360
Open your Paint Bucket Tool.
0:03:18.080,0:03:22.680
Make sure your foreground color is white and "Contiguous" is checked.
0:03:23.500,0:03:27.620
Click outside the frame to delete
the quickmask, leaving just the quick mask
0:03:27.620,0:03:33.780
inside of the frame intact. Press "Q" again
to revert it back into a selection. Invert
0:03:33.790,0:03:37.670
the selection by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + Shift + I.
0:03:39.600,0:03:42.580
Make the top layer active. Keep in mind,
0:03:42.590,0:03:46.930
the photo in this layer is in color because
it doesn't have an adjustment layer above
0:03:46.930,0:03:49.270
it that desaturates its color.
0:03:50.800,0:03:54.960
Click the Layer Mask icon to make a layer mask of the selection next to it.
0:03:55.500,0:03:57.280
Make the layer visible.
0:04:00.340,0:04:05.860
Ctrl-click or Cmd-click on the thumbnail of the frame layer again to make a selection of its shape.
0:04:06.440,0:04:09.400
Press "Q" to make it into a quick mask and
0:04:09.410,0:04:15.670
click the Paint Bucket Tool inside the frame
to delete the quick mask. Press "Q" to revert
0:04:15.670,0:04:25.030
into a selection. Make the frame layer active,
fill the selection with white and deselect it.
0:04:26.340,0:04:31.300
Because we filled the selection with white,
this layer is no longer a frame; it's a white
0:04:31.310,0:04:35.410
box. Double-click on it to open its Layer
Style window.
0:04:37.320,0:04:44.140
Click Drop Shadow. Make the opacity: 40% and uncheck Global Light.
0:04:44.900,0:04:50.920
Make the Angle: 138 degrees, the Distance: 50 pixels
0:04:50.930,0:04:54.550
and the Size: 20 pixels. Then, click OK.
0:04:55.760,0:04:59.280
Next, we'll enlarge the color photo. To do this,
0:04:59.640,0:05:05.960
Shift-click on the top layer to highlight
the top 3 layers and open your Transform Tool.
0:05:05.960,0:05:12.960
Zoom out by pressing Ctrl or Cmd and the minus
sign on your keyboard. Go to a corner
0:05:13.700,0:05:19.800
and when you see a diagonal, double-arrow, press
and hold Alt or Option + Shift and drag it
0:05:19.800,0:05:23.460
out to a size you like. Then, reposition it
0:05:25.800,0:05:27.800
and press Enter or Return.
0:05:28.560,0:05:30.320
To fit it back onto your canvas,
0:05:30.620,0:05:35.200
press Ctrl or Cmd +0. We're ready to add text.
0:05:36.600,0:05:40.980
Open your Horizontal Type Tool. Choose a font.
0:05:41.400,0:05:47.219
I using a handwritten-style
font called, "MT Matto Script Normal". If
0:05:47.219,0:05:51.810
you'd like to use it, as well, I provided
its link in the video description or project
0:05:51.810,0:05:58.810
files. I'll make the size 70 points, Sharp
and Left Alignment. Click the color box
0:05:59.960,0:06:04.600
and click a color on your photo that you think
would work well for your text. You can always
0:06:04.610,0:06:07.310
change it later. Then, click OK.
0:06:08.980,0:06:11.820

Click "Outer Glow"
0:06:22.300,0:06:31.060
and change the Blend Mode to Normal. Click
the color box and pick black or white or a
0:06:31.069,0:06:37.139
grey tone that will make your text pop more
depending on the background behind the text.
0:06:37.139,0:06:41.059
For this example, I'll pick black and click OK.
0:06:42.940,0:06:46.080
Make the Size 50 pixels and click OK.
0:06:47.840,0:06:56.640
