telling you the top 10 things beginners

0:00:06.750,0:00:19.859
want to know how to do in Photoshop

0:00:09.450,0:00:22.740
theme tune didies didies to do that's a

0:00:19.859,0:00:24.869
bit crazy today okay so today I'm going

0:00:22.740,0:00:27.810
to go through the top 10 things that

0:00:24.869,0:00:30.210
beginners always ask how do I do this in

0:00:27.810,0:00:33.570
Photoshop now i'm going to attempt to

0:00:30.210,0:00:34.950
get through this in just 20 minutes so

0:00:33.570,0:00:37.230
i'm gonna rattle through all these

0:00:34.950,0:00:39.899
things now what's important for this is

0:00:37.230,0:00:41.160
if you're not a beginner or you're not

0:00:39.899,0:00:43.649
in the beginning stages of learning

0:00:41.160,0:00:46.140
photoshop this party isn't for you

0:00:43.649,0:00:49.140
because you probably know how to do all

0:00:46.140,0:00:51.270
of these things also remember there's

0:00:49.140,0:00:53.430
more than one way of doing each thing of

0:00:51.270,0:00:55.739
photoshop so i'm going to be using one

0:00:53.430,0:00:58.140
way here which will be a method of doing

0:00:55.739,0:01:00.120
it but in Photoshop there's always other

0:00:58.140,0:01:03.960
ways of doing things like three or four

0:01:00.120,0:01:06.570
or five so if you do it another way that

0:01:03.960,0:01:08.880
works better for you awesome you rock it

0:01:06.570,0:01:10.860
I use lots of other ways to it i'm just

0:01:08.880,0:01:13.380
going to show you one version of each of

0:01:10.860,0:01:15.900
these things today and also just

0:01:13.380,0:01:17.729
remember i can spend like an hour on

0:01:15.900,0:01:19.380
each of these things that i'm going to

0:01:17.729,0:01:21.030
teach today I'm just going to try and

0:01:19.380,0:01:22.950
convince it down into just a couple of

0:01:21.030,0:01:26.580
minutes for each thing so if I go too

0:01:22.950,0:01:28.590
fast just rewind play it again also i'm

0:01:26.580,0:01:30.390

0:01:44.250,0:01:48.750
looking at it not as a technical side of

0:01:46.409,0:01:50.369

0:02:09.840,0:02:13.860
in because here we go for the top 10

0:02:12.270,0:02:17.160
things that beginners always want

0:02:13.860,0:02:19.890
know how to do in Photoshop right so

0:02:17.160,0:02:23.100
here we go with inside Photoshop CC and

0:02:19.890,0:02:24.780
we have this image here now the number

0:02:23.100,0:02:28.380
one thing that people always ask how to

0:02:24.780,0:02:30.210
do is how do i remove blemishes now

0:02:28.380,0:02:32.580
let's zoom in on this by hitting command

0:02:30.210,0:02:35.400
plus i'm going to teach you lots of

0:02:32.580,0:02:37.380
shortcuts in this but remember if you're

0:02:35.400,0:02:40.050
a beginner I might move too fast so I'm

0:02:37.380,0:02:42.750
holding space bar here so I can move my

0:02:40.050,0:02:45.540
image around great so we can see a few

0:02:42.750,0:02:47.520
blemishes on the face not very many I

0:02:45.540,0:02:49.350
wouldn't say removing anything which is

0:02:47.520,0:02:51.240
permanently they're just things which

0:02:49.350,0:02:53.310
are kind of temporary so to do this

0:02:51.240,0:02:55.260
we've got a number of tools there's the

0:02:53.310,0:02:57.239
Spot Healing Brush which is on the side

0:02:55.260,0:03:01.020
here you can get to that just by hitting

0:02:57.239,0:03:03.239
J and all we're going to do is paint

0:03:01.020,0:03:05.280
onto the blemishes and you can see

0:03:03.239,0:03:06.930
photos going to reference somewhere else

0:03:05.280,0:03:09.630
and it's going to get rid of those

0:03:06.930,0:03:12.090
elements now another way of doing this

0:03:09.630,0:03:14.400
would be to use the one below below

0:03:12.090,0:03:16.650
which is the healing brush tool now for

0:03:14.400,0:03:19.890
this you're going to actually select

0:03:16.650,0:03:21.870
where Photoshop chooses to sample from

0:03:19.890,0:03:24.180
by hitting option then I'm going to

0:03:21.870,0:03:25.890
click here and then it's going to sample

0:03:24.180,0:03:29.480
that section and move it just there and

0:03:25.890,0:03:32.700
I can move this around as I go telling

0:03:29.480,0:03:36.330
Photoshop how to do it now I would

0:03:32.700,0:03:37.680
usually do this on another layer but we

0:03:36.330,0:03:39.720
haven't got two layers yet i'm going to

0:03:37.680,0:03:42.000
teach that in a minute so let's just go

0:03:39.720,0:03:44.190
around the image people often forget to

0:03:42.000,0:03:47.400
do the body they just stick to the face

0:03:44.190,0:03:49.110
so she's pretty perfect we can see we

0:03:47.400,0:03:50.580
got a wet mark just here because she was

0:03:49.110,0:03:53.970
actually just at the pool before this

0:03:50.580,0:03:55.950
where we were shooting but that's pretty

0:03:53.970,0:03:58.380
good for now so that there is how to

0:03:55.950,0:04:00.510
remove blemishes all you have to do is

0:03:58.380,0:04:02.940
select the Spot Healing or the healing

0:04:00.510,0:04:07.530
brush tool on the side panel here okay

0:04:02.940,0:04:10.290
so let's go on to item number two now

0:04:07.530,0:04:14.280
item number two is how to crop a photo

0:04:10.290,0:04:16.650
or image this is really simple over on

0:04:14.280,0:04:19.079
the side panel we have the crop tool and

0:04:16.650,0:04:21.900
yes it's the letter C and all you have

0:04:19.079,0:04:23.099
to do is you just drag this in for

0:04:21.900,0:04:25.229
wherever you want to crop it so we're

0:04:23.099,0:04:27.400
going to crop this image above this

0:04:25.229,0:04:30.130
water line where

0:04:27.400,0:04:32.680
is in the pool now important to note on

0:04:30.130,0:04:35.800
this tool here you have a delete cropped

0:04:32.680,0:04:39.610
pixels option up here if you select that

0:04:35.800,0:04:41.560
it's actually going to delete ok what

0:04:39.610,0:04:43.810
was its going to delete these sections

0:04:41.560,0:04:45.850
if you leave this unchecked that I would

0:04:43.810,0:04:48.220
always recommend leaving it unchecked

0:04:45.850,0:04:51.699
I'll show you what happens hit return

0:04:48.220,0:04:53.800
and it's going to crop that image now if

0:04:51.699,0:04:56.380
i select the move tool which is this one

0:04:53.800,0:04:58.690
up here i can now move the image and it

0:04:56.380,0:05:01.300
you see it's kept those pixels so what

0:04:58.690,0:05:06.070
that allows me to do is if I want to I

0:05:01.300,0:05:08.199
can always reframe this image so there

0:05:06.070,0:05:10.180
we go I'm happy with the crop I'm happy

0:05:08.199,0:05:12.820
with that that looks really good to me

0:05:10.180,0:05:16.360
so that there is how to use the crop how

0:05:12.820,0:05:18.220
to crop and use the crop tool now number

0:05:16.360,0:05:19.930
three this one's really important and

0:05:18.220,0:05:23.199
one of the biggest things that we do in

0:05:19.930,0:05:25.139
Photoshop and that is use layers so

0:05:23.199,0:05:27.610
let's explain what layers are

0:05:25.139,0:05:30.699
essentially we have a layer just here

0:05:27.610,0:05:32.710
and if we were to paint on this with say

0:05:30.699,0:05:34.900
the color white so I'm just selecting

0:05:32.710,0:05:37.270
the color white here i'm using the brush

0:05:34.900,0:05:39.130
tool up here and i'm going to increase

0:05:37.270,0:05:42.970
the size of it to around this big and

0:05:39.130,0:05:45.190
i'm going to draw a scribble ok so you

0:05:42.970,0:05:47.289
can see I've created this here but now

0:05:45.190,0:05:49.030
if I want to get rid of this scribble so

0:05:47.289,0:05:51.970
for example I was to go to be a raised

0:05:49.030,0:05:54.360
tool well imma raising the whole image

0:05:51.970,0:05:56.770
away so that's not going to work so

0:05:54.360,0:05:59.349
instead of doing that I can get rid of

0:05:56.770,0:06:02.530
this command Z and I can create a new

0:05:59.349,0:06:05.409
layer by hitting command shift n and

0:06:02.530,0:06:07.449
that creates a new layer and you can

0:06:05.409,0:06:10.240
name the layer if you like and hit OK

0:06:07.449,0:06:12.639
and you can see that's just here another

0:06:10.240,0:06:15.280
way of doing that is go layer new and

0:06:12.639,0:06:18.550
layers just a pair here but command

0:06:15.280,0:06:21.340
shift n is better so now we've got a new

0:06:18.550,0:06:22.720
layer we can take the brush tool now i'm

0:06:21.340,0:06:25.180
going to quickly make an adjustment to

0:06:22.720,0:06:28.479
my brush and i want to reduce my spacing

0:06:25.180,0:06:29.650
down I have a whole tutorial coming on

0:06:28.479,0:06:32.620
the brush tool but this is just going to

0:06:29.650,0:06:35.590
make it smoother and I can create the

0:06:32.620,0:06:38.889
scribble over her again and now watch I

0:06:35.590,0:06:41.230
can turn this on and off which is

0:06:38.889,0:06:43.750
massively powerful or

0:06:41.230,0:06:46.440
for example I could use the eraser tool

0:06:43.750,0:06:50.110
and i canna raised just sections of that

0:06:46.440,0:06:52.750
scribble which is massively powerful so

0:06:50.110,0:06:54.640
let's just I'm just going to get rid of

0:06:52.750,0:06:56.500
the scribble I'm gonna remake it I'm

0:06:54.640,0:06:59.200
gonna make it with a little bit of a

0:06:56.500,0:07:01.240
smaller line and I'm gonna just squit oh

0:06:59.200,0:07:03.940
I don't know off the side of my page

0:07:01.240,0:07:07.150
though I'm just going to scribble like

0:07:03.940,0:07:09.130
so great so this is what we're left with

0:07:07.150,0:07:11.050
here and as we said we can do that so

0:07:09.130,0:07:13.630
that is layers and I can create as many

0:07:11.050,0:07:16.420
layers as I want and I can also

0:07:13.630,0:07:19.660
rearrange my layers so let me show you

0:07:16.420,0:07:22.390
how that works command shift n for

0:07:19.660,0:07:26.080
another layer on top and now i'm going

0:07:22.390,0:07:28.540
to create scribbles going in another

0:07:26.080,0:07:31.360
direction but we're going to do them in

0:07:28.540,0:07:34.990
orange so here we go i'm going to

0:07:31.360,0:07:37.120
scribble over the top there now this

0:07:34.990,0:07:38.770
layers on top of the white layer so if i

0:07:37.120,0:07:41.590
was to move this below the white layer

0:07:38.770,0:07:44.350
the scribble is now below the white

0:07:41.590,0:07:46.930
layer so we can see this is really

0:07:44.350,0:07:50.110
really powerful what we can do with

0:07:46.930,0:07:52.960
layers so that there is layers and how

0:07:50.110,0:07:55.720
to paint on different layers now the

0:07:52.960,0:07:59.560
next thing that people always get asked

0:07:55.720,0:08:01.480
how to do is what our masks now this is

0:07:59.560,0:08:03.460
really important let's get rid of the

0:08:01.480,0:08:06.070
orange layer will just work on the white

0:08:03.460,0:08:08.530
layer now if I wanted to get rid of this

0:08:06.070,0:08:10.420
and show the girl behind all I would do

0:08:08.530,0:08:12.700
is what i could do is come in and I

0:08:10.420,0:08:15.820
could just rub out make sure it's

0:08:12.700,0:08:18.460
selected rub out where that girl is but

0:08:15.820,0:08:20.380
I'm not going to be very accurate by

0:08:18.460,0:08:23.050
doing that and also I can't then get

0:08:20.380,0:08:25.180
that back that's been deleted from the

0:08:23.050,0:08:28.690
layer so instead I can apply what's

0:08:25.180,0:08:30.670
called a layer mask now to explain layer

0:08:28.690,0:08:33.940
masks you just click on the mask icon

0:08:30.670,0:08:37.090
down here and it puts a layer mask on

0:08:33.940,0:08:38.890
here now anything where the layer mask

0:08:37.090,0:08:41.710
this is essentially sitting over the top

0:08:38.890,0:08:43.960
of this is white is where you can see

0:08:41.710,0:08:46.660
that layer but if it's black so for

0:08:43.960,0:08:48.820
example if i was to paint here if we

0:08:46.660,0:08:50.680
watch what's happening it's getting rid

0:08:48.820,0:08:54.360
of that element and that section is now

0:08:50.680,0:08:56.760
black down here but what I can then do

0:08:54.360,0:08:59.880
if I hit X and make it a white brush I

0:08:56.760,0:09:02.459
can now paint that back in because I'm

0:08:59.880,0:09:04.500
only hiding it i'm not actually getting

0:09:02.459,0:09:07.940
rid of it now you can always see what

0:09:04.500,0:09:11.220
your layer mask is doing okay by hitting

0:09:07.940,0:09:13.470
option and clicking on the layer mask so

0:09:11.220,0:09:16.620
i can see i left some black elements in

0:09:13.470,0:09:18.779
there like so so option click and come

0:09:16.620,0:09:21.000
back so let's just show you a really

0:09:18.779,0:09:24.570
easy way of doing this I'm going to draw

0:09:21.000,0:09:28.529
on here with black a smiley face circle

0:09:24.570,0:09:31.769
circle and a smiley face now if I'm

0:09:28.529,0:09:33.269
gonna look at the mask option click you

0:09:31.769,0:09:35.430
see this is AB that's what I've just

0:09:33.269,0:09:38.670
drawn and that is how it's going to

0:09:35.430,0:09:41.310
affect this thing here now I can invert

0:09:38.670,0:09:44.190
this layer mask by hitting command I and

0:09:41.310,0:09:47.399
now you can see what that's done is its

0:09:44.190,0:09:48.870
inverted my layer mask okay so what

0:09:47.399,0:09:51.390
we're going to do for now is delete the

0:09:48.870,0:09:53.399
layer mask just by right-clicking if you

0:09:51.390,0:09:56.070
delete mask and now we're going to do

0:09:53.399,0:09:59.640
something really clever we're actually

0:09:56.070,0:10:00.990
going to come in here and we well in

0:09:59.640,0:10:02.760
fact we'll do that in a minute with

0:10:00.990,0:10:04.800
masks because the next thing we're going

0:10:02.760,0:10:07.740
to do the next point we're going to move

0:10:04.800,0:10:09.570
on to and this is move an object that's

0:10:07.740,0:10:13.500
what people want to do this is item

0:10:09.570,0:10:15.060
number six move an object so for this

0:10:13.500,0:10:17.550
we're going to use a different image now

0:10:15.060,0:10:20.130
to open another image inside photoshop

0:10:17.550,0:10:22.529
you can either go command oh and that

0:10:20.130,0:10:25.589
will bring up open and then you can just

0:10:22.529,0:10:28.980
click on whatever you want to open this

0:10:25.589,0:10:31.140
image here and hit open and then it's

0:10:28.980,0:10:32.910
going to open up and then it's we've got

0:10:31.140,0:10:34.980
a different color space I can say that's

0:10:32.910,0:10:37.380
okay and now we've opened this image

0:10:34.980,0:10:39.480
another way of doing that would be I can

0:10:37.380,0:10:41.940
take this and drag and drop it into this

0:10:39.480,0:10:44.100
panel at the top and it's going to open

0:10:41.940,0:10:47.010
it up there so this is what we've got

0:10:44.100,0:10:49.050
the image now and let me show you by

0:10:47.010,0:10:51.420
hitting command 0 I can make that full

0:10:49.050,0:10:54.390
but what I would actually want to do is

0:10:51.420,0:10:57.209
I want to rip I want to what are we

0:10:54.390,0:10:58.740
doing here remove an object now this is

0:10:57.209,0:11:00.990
really easy we're going to make a

0:10:58.740,0:11:04.079
selection no choose the lasso tool and

0:11:00.990,0:11:05.910
I'm going to move remove this tree so

0:11:04.079,0:11:07.649
all I have to do I didn't do that very

0:11:05.910,0:11:08.570
well so I'm going to go around the tree

0:11:07.649,0:11:11.520
like so

0:11:08.570,0:11:15.750
great and draw around it so now I've

0:11:11.520,0:11:19.200
made this a selection so now what i can

0:11:15.750,0:11:21.589
do is i can remove it by going edit fill

0:11:19.200,0:11:24.450
and i'm going to go for content aware

0:11:21.589,0:11:26.190
now if i select this and hit ok it's

0:11:24.450,0:11:28.020
going to analyze the image and figure

0:11:26.190,0:11:30.900
out what it can put there instead and

0:11:28.020,0:11:33.660
there you can see it got rid of it and

0:11:30.900,0:11:35.520
it did a fantastic job come on d to

0:11:33.660,0:11:37.860
deselect but you can see it's actually

0:11:35.520,0:11:39.930
left some fringing for me today that's

0:11:37.860,0:11:41.670
not a problem because i can go back into

0:11:39.930,0:11:43.680
the healing brush tool that we used

0:11:41.670,0:11:46.110
earlier remember when we did the

0:11:43.680,0:11:48.240
blemishes use the same technique option

0:11:46.110,0:11:52.290
click here and i can just literally

0:11:48.240,0:11:54.839
paint over that area and now that tree i

0:11:52.290,0:11:57.690
have now removed the tree so that's how

0:11:54.839,0:12:00.870
to remove something let's try removing

0:11:57.690,0:12:03.600
something else like this little girl

0:12:00.870,0:12:06.330
just here so all we have to do draw a

0:12:03.600,0:12:11.160
circle around her and then we were going

0:12:06.330,0:12:14.040
to go edit fill content-aware fill hit

0:12:11.160,0:12:17.040
ok and you can see d slate it's just got

0:12:14.040,0:12:18.570
rid of the girl completely brilliant so

0:12:17.040,0:12:22.140
that's how we can do that i'm going to

0:12:18.570,0:12:24.270
hit command Z to to reverse that now the

0:12:22.140,0:12:25.620
next thing that I have on my list that

0:12:24.270,0:12:28.260
people always want to do and that's how

0:12:25.620,0:12:31.050
to move in objects are not removing on

0:12:28.260,0:12:33.959
Jake just move it so let's move the girl

0:12:31.050,0:12:36.450
so all we have to do going to draw a

0:12:33.959,0:12:38.550
circle around her and now on the side

0:12:36.450,0:12:40.830
panel over here we're just going to take

0:12:38.550,0:12:43.890
sorry let me come up here and it's

0:12:40.830,0:12:46.110
called the content aware move brush so

0:12:43.890,0:12:48.120
it's within all of this panel here we're

0:12:46.110,0:12:50.760
going to select that make sure it's

0:12:48.120,0:12:53.400
selected to move and watch this I pick

0:12:50.760,0:12:55.950
her up and I can say well let's put her

0:12:53.400,0:12:58.470
over here and watch what happens when I

0:12:55.950,0:13:00.390
let go she's going to disappear from

0:12:58.470,0:13:02.820
here or it didn't do a very good job

0:13:00.390,0:13:05.790
there so I can hit command Z let's try

0:13:02.820,0:13:08.310
again I can pick her up and I can drop

0:13:05.790,0:13:10.680
her just over here there we go she's

0:13:08.310,0:13:14.040
disappeared from here and she's arrived

0:13:10.680,0:13:16.260
over here absolutely amazing command D

0:13:14.040,0:13:18.990
and we've moved her now let's try it on

0:13:16.260,0:13:21.360
one more thing let's move the ship so to

0:13:18.990,0:13:22.290
do that we take the lasso tool we're

0:13:21.360,0:13:24.420
going to

0:13:22.290,0:13:26.370
our feathering was too high that's why

0:13:24.420,0:13:29.100
it had an issue the first time and we're

0:13:26.370,0:13:31.800
going to draw around the ship now Zach

0:13:29.100,0:13:33.660
lose him again take the move tool pick

0:13:31.800,0:13:37.920
it up like so and we're going to move

0:13:33.660,0:13:40.500
the ship over here when I let go hit

0:13:37.920,0:13:42.569
return I'm going to hit command D 2 D

0:13:40.500,0:13:46.170
slip and it's move the ship and it's

0:13:42.569,0:13:50.759
done a really pretty good job of that so

0:13:46.170,0:13:53.790
that is how we remove objects and move

0:13:50.759,0:13:56.370
objects now we're on to number seven and

0:13:53.790,0:13:59.190
this one's really big how to put

0:13:56.370,0:14:01.740
something on a different background or

0:13:59.190,0:14:04.769
change your background well i'm going to

0:14:01.740,0:14:06.420
show you right now so we're going to

0:14:04.769,0:14:09.089
take the girl and we're going to put her

0:14:06.420,0:14:11.579
on a different background and this is

0:14:09.089,0:14:14.009
really simple all we have to do we have

0:14:11.579,0:14:16.410
to select her out of where she is so

0:14:14.009,0:14:17.699
she's on a gray background and you may

0:14:16.410,0:14:19.410
be thinking well she's on a plain

0:14:17.699,0:14:24.389
background so she's going to be easy to

0:14:19.410,0:14:26.760
remove now yes that's right because most

0:14:24.389,0:14:28.889
of the time you're going to plan you

0:14:26.760,0:14:31.500
know if you're going to remove somebody

0:14:28.889,0:14:33.420
from a background now all I've done here

0:14:31.500,0:14:35.370
is I've used the quick selection tool

0:14:33.420,0:14:38.490
here and I've just gone around that and

0:14:35.370,0:14:40.920
it did a really good job now if I hit Q

0:14:38.490,0:14:42.510
that's quick mask it shows me what is

0:14:40.920,0:14:44.670
selected on what's not you can see I've

0:14:42.510,0:14:47.760
missed the hair here and I've got some

0:14:44.670,0:14:52.680
background in well not to worry we can

0:14:47.760,0:14:54.779
add or remove from the mat so I'm going

0:14:52.680,0:14:56.220
to remove from that mast area and we're

0:14:54.779,0:14:57.660
going to paint over the hair and it's

0:14:56.220,0:15:00.149
going to do a pretty good job of

0:14:57.660,0:15:02.550
selecting the hair so we can do it that

0:15:00.149,0:15:04.560
way and it's done an okay job I Hiddink

0:15:02.550,0:15:06.750
you but we've missed all sorts of things

0:15:04.560,0:15:10.470
so at this point we're just going to go

0:15:06.750,0:15:12.600
in to refine edge and in we go now

0:15:10.470,0:15:14.610
remember and going really fast here guys

0:15:12.600,0:15:16.649
so I just want to get through as many

0:15:14.610,0:15:20.370
things to show you all of these items

0:15:16.649,0:15:22.949
that people want to do so let's look in

0:15:20.370,0:15:25.350
here we have the View mode so we can see

0:15:22.949,0:15:28.079
what's selected so this is the marching

0:15:25.350,0:15:31.230
ants I can see it on that with the mask

0:15:28.079,0:15:33.630
I can see it on white I can see it on

0:15:31.230,0:15:35.470
with just the layer left over I can see

0:15:33.630,0:15:36.790
black on white so different views

0:15:35.470,0:15:39.160
to see this so i can see that i missed

0:15:36.790,0:15:41.320
all of this hair so let's go to overlay

0:15:39.160,0:15:43.600
and what i'm gonna do in here i'm going

0:15:41.320,0:15:47.320
to choose smart radius and then i'm

0:15:43.600,0:15:51.490
going to paint around the outside now

0:15:47.320,0:15:53.290
watch this this is powerful I'm just

0:15:51.490,0:15:55.780
going to paint like so and then it's

0:15:53.290,0:15:57.640
going to analyze all of this image and

0:15:55.780,0:15:59.770
it's going to have a look what it thinks

0:15:57.640,0:16:01.660
is the background and then it's going to

0:15:59.770,0:16:04.620
start selecting the background and it's

0:16:01.660,0:16:07.510
going to do a far better job of actually

0:16:04.620,0:16:09.940
making these selections so let's go over

0:16:07.510,0:16:12.640
the hair here and then we'll go actually

0:16:09.940,0:16:14.380
over all of this hair and you can see it

0:16:12.640,0:16:16.540
started detecting it and it's going to

0:16:14.380,0:16:19.570
start putting the strands of hair back

0:16:16.540,0:16:22.210
in now you would want to spend a lot

0:16:19.570,0:16:25.210
more time doing this if you were to be

0:16:22.210,0:16:27.430
actually doing this professionally but

0:16:25.210,0:16:29.970
if you just want to for today I'm just

0:16:27.430,0:16:33.280
trying to show you the power of

0:16:29.970,0:16:36.610
Photoshop or what you can do okay so

0:16:33.280,0:16:42.250
that's now a pretty good idea now let's

0:16:36.610,0:16:44.680
show it on on black so you can see now

0:16:42.250,0:16:48.670
we have all of this hair has been

0:16:44.680,0:16:51.790
selected far far better there we go it's

0:16:48.670,0:16:54.370
not perfect but it will do so now we've

0:16:51.790,0:16:58.540
made our selection we hit OK and then we

0:16:54.370,0:17:00.850
turn this in to a mask now remember how

0:16:58.540,0:17:03.400
we mastered squiggles we just hit the

0:17:00.850,0:17:06.700
mask button and now you can see we've

0:17:03.400,0:17:10.690
masked her out so we want to mask her in

0:17:06.700,0:17:13.870
we go command I to invert our masks and

0:17:10.690,0:17:16.570
there she is she's now in here but her

0:17:13.870,0:17:18.310
background is not so before we go any

0:17:16.570,0:17:21.010
further with this I'm going to show you

0:17:18.310,0:17:23.620
a really neat little trick where we have

0:17:21.010,0:17:26.680
these squiggles here what we can now do

0:17:23.620,0:17:29.800
is move this layer behind and now the

0:17:26.680,0:17:32.560
squiggles are behind her and that's

0:17:29.800,0:17:35.740
what's really powerful and really cool

0:17:32.560,0:17:37.390
about layers so what we're going to do

0:17:35.740,0:17:39.610
now is we're going to switch out this

0:17:37.390,0:17:41.740
background now I've got a choice I can

0:17:39.610,0:17:43.420
either pick up this background and put

0:17:41.740,0:17:45.100
it behind her here but we're actually

0:17:43.420,0:17:46.660
going to do it the other way we're going

0:17:45.100,0:17:48.580
to delete the orange one and just keep

0:17:46.660,0:17:49.059
the white squiggle we're going to pick

0:17:48.580,0:17:52.029
up these

0:17:49.059,0:17:55.269
two layers like so drag them into the

0:17:52.029,0:17:57.490
other document and then drag it down

0:17:55.269,0:17:59.889
into the image you must always end here

0:17:57.490,0:18:03.549
and then when you let go is gonna drop

0:17:59.889,0:18:05.620
it off just there now we can click the

0:18:03.549,0:18:07.450
move tool and we've got those two layers

0:18:05.620,0:18:12.070
selected and now I can move her around

0:18:07.450,0:18:15.659
so let's resize her a little bit okay I

0:18:12.070,0:18:19.120
think she looks pretty cool just there

0:18:15.659,0:18:21.789
hit enter and now we can see let's hide

0:18:19.120,0:18:23.409
the squiggle we can see we've put her on

0:18:21.789,0:18:26.559
a different background and it's not

0:18:23.409,0:18:29.860
perfect but it's pretty good she looks

0:18:26.559,0:18:34.090
pretty awesome so that's how you change

0:18:29.860,0:18:36.279
the background of somebody okay or

0:18:34.090,0:18:39.210
something you could do this to all sorts

0:18:36.279,0:18:42.249
of different things so point number

0:18:39.210,0:18:44.169
eight and this is adjust minh trail now

0:18:42.249,0:18:47.440
this comes in the adjustment panel over

0:18:44.169,0:18:49.179
here or you can go view sorry window and

0:18:47.440,0:18:51.460
then select adjustments and this will

0:18:49.179,0:18:53.889
appear now what we're going to do is we

0:18:51.460,0:18:56.440
can do all sorts of things to this image

0:18:53.889,0:18:58.929
so for example we can add a curves layer

0:18:56.440,0:19:00.190
and this is going to affect absolutely

0:18:58.929,0:19:01.899
everything because we're going to move

0:19:00.190,0:19:04.509
it to the top and it's going to affect

0:19:01.899,0:19:05.860
everything that we have in this image so

0:19:04.509,0:19:09.519
I'm going to go to my red Channel and

0:19:05.860,0:19:11.830
I'm gonna lift my Reds okay now you see

0:19:09.519,0:19:13.629
it's starting to all blend together and

0:19:11.830,0:19:15.460
I really like that now let's add another

0:19:13.629,0:19:17.889
one we're going to go for color balance

0:19:15.460,0:19:21.009
and for this I'm going to go highlights

0:19:17.889,0:19:23.350
I'm going to add some nice reds and some

0:19:21.009,0:19:25.659
yellows to my highlights just a little

0:19:23.350,0:19:30.429
bit and then my shadows I'm going to add

0:19:25.659,0:19:33.460
some cyan and some blue great so now

0:19:30.429,0:19:35.980
let's we can turn these on and off and

0:19:33.460,0:19:38.259
see how those adjustment layers have

0:19:35.980,0:19:41.289
worked and they will work basically on

0:19:38.259,0:19:42.789
an image as we can see we can do all

0:19:41.289,0:19:44.860
sorts of things and there are many

0:19:42.789,0:19:46.749
adjustment layers that you might want to

0:19:44.860,0:19:49.210
use so i definitely recommend going in

0:19:46.749,0:19:51.429
and playing around with that so now

0:19:49.210,0:19:53.440
we've got our adjustment layers done and

0:19:51.429,0:19:55.360
everything what I do want to do quickly

0:19:53.440,0:19:57.759
down here is I don't want this to be

0:19:55.360,0:20:00.129
white so they double click on a layer is

0:19:57.759,0:20:02.290
gonna bring up my layer style and I'm

0:20:00.129,0:20:04.300
gonna go for a color overlay Oh

0:20:02.290,0:20:06.390
and it's gone orange I actually really

0:20:04.300,0:20:09.490
like that so we're going to go okay and

0:20:06.390,0:20:12.130
there we go now we have this and I can

0:20:09.490,0:20:15.310
make it bigger so we've got this nice

0:20:12.130,0:20:17.410
squiggle that's going on behind her hit

0:20:15.310,0:20:20.830
okay and I can even bring back my

0:20:17.410,0:20:22.180
opacity if I wanted to let these shine

0:20:20.830,0:20:25.360
through a little bit I'm gonna leave it

0:20:22.180,0:20:27.730
on a hundred percent great okay now this

0:20:25.360,0:20:31.030
brings me to point number nine which is

0:20:27.730,0:20:34.270
what people always want to do add text

0:20:31.030,0:20:36.190
to an image so let's go ahead and add

0:20:34.270,0:20:38.560
text now we're going to add the text

0:20:36.190,0:20:40.570
above the girl so he's going to select

0:20:38.560,0:20:42.850
that layer then we're going to hit we're

0:20:40.570,0:20:44.920
going to set text over on the side now

0:20:42.850,0:20:47.440
text is really easy we just click onto

0:20:44.920,0:20:51.540
the image and then we can just go ahead

0:20:47.440,0:20:54.190
and type so we're going to go for summer

0:20:51.540,0:20:56.650
feeling with one of those apostrophes at

0:20:54.190,0:20:58.750
the end so it's like not feeling feeling

0:20:56.650,0:21:01.330
because it's cool now if we're on the

0:20:58.750,0:21:03.790
move tool we have this layer selected we

0:21:01.330,0:21:06.640
can now come over here and select the

0:21:03.790,0:21:08.680
text tool or character tool if you don't

0:21:06.640,0:21:10.930
see that you go window and you select

0:21:08.680,0:21:12.130
character and now i can change all of

0:21:10.930,0:21:17.620
these elements so i'm going to make it

0:21:12.130,0:21:20.800
nice and big like so that's a little bit

0:21:17.620,0:21:25.410
too big pull it back there we go i'm

0:21:20.800,0:21:28.150
gonna make it white great i like that

0:21:25.410,0:21:29.800
this is starting to look really good in

0:21:28.150,0:21:31.150
fact i'm not gonna make it white i'm

0:21:29.800,0:21:33.730
gonna come in and i'm gonna select

0:21:31.150,0:21:35.710
something from my image so i can go oh I

0:21:33.730,0:21:38.050
like the sand color for example or

0:21:35.710,0:21:41.080
actually I like this turquoise blue one

0:21:38.050,0:21:43.690
up there that's good hit okay okay so

0:21:41.080,0:21:46.210
that looks really nice and it's kind of

0:21:43.690,0:21:48.310
blended it's not perfect but we get the

0:21:46.210,0:21:50.290
idea we can then come in here and we can

0:21:48.310,0:21:52.630
choose whatever we want our font to be

0:21:50.290,0:21:54.850
I'm actually happy with the font that it

0:21:52.630,0:21:56.350
already is now it's a little bit in the

0:21:54.850,0:21:58.390
background so I'm gonna double click on

0:21:56.350,0:22:00.880
this layer again brings up layer styles

0:21:58.390,0:22:04.240
I'm going to hit stroke and it's given

0:22:00.880,0:22:06.790
me a nice white stroke on that maybe not

0:22:04.240,0:22:09.640
that big that's something like that

0:22:06.790,0:22:13.420
that's looking pretty good hit ok so now

0:22:09.640,0:22:15.220
I have text on this layer and I really

0:22:13.420,0:22:15.670
like the way that this has started to

0:22:15.220,0:22:18.820
come to

0:22:15.670,0:22:20.320
ever now we've got this ready we kind of

0:22:18.820,0:22:22.390
like how it goes but i think this

0:22:20.320,0:22:23.860
background is a little bit bit it's

0:22:22.390,0:22:25.720
popping out too much so i can go

0:22:23.860,0:22:28.900
background i'm going to add a blur to

0:22:25.720,0:22:30.670
this so this is my filters up here now

0:22:28.900,0:22:32.170
there's a lot going on inside filters so

0:22:30.670,0:22:35.950
you can have a go but i'm going to go

0:22:32.170,0:22:37.660
blur and Gaussian blur and all I'm going

0:22:35.950,0:22:39.820
to do so I can make this essentially

0:22:37.660,0:22:41.560
blur in and out so I'm just going to add

0:22:39.820,0:22:43.870
a nice little blurt it looks like it's

0:22:41.560,0:22:48.370
in the background somewhere around there

0:22:43.870,0:22:51.940
looks great hit okay brilliant so now

0:22:48.370,0:22:54.850
we've got our nine points that we've

0:22:51.940,0:22:57.550
done with removed blemishes with cropped

0:22:54.850,0:22:59.890
our image we've created multiple layers

0:22:57.550,0:23:02.530
and then we've masked out some of the

0:22:59.890,0:23:05.710
layers and then what we've done is we've

0:23:02.530,0:23:07.780
removed the tree so we've moved the

0:23:05.710,0:23:10.200
little girl in fact she's back here now

0:23:07.780,0:23:12.580
and but we did move the boat over here

0:23:10.200,0:23:14.890
then what we've done change the

0:23:12.580,0:23:16.870
background and put the girl on here what

0:23:14.890,0:23:18.400
we've then added adjustment layers so

0:23:16.870,0:23:21.220
we've got our curves in our color

0:23:18.400,0:23:23.020
balance and we can add a photo we can

0:23:21.220,0:23:24.460
adjust something else up here you know

0:23:23.020,0:23:26.890
we can adjust all sorts of different

0:23:24.460,0:23:29.260
things if we wanted to i just added a

0:23:26.890,0:23:31.540
channel mixer for fun so we've done our

0:23:29.260,0:23:34.030
adjustment layers then we've added some

0:23:31.540,0:23:37.780
text which was number nine and point

0:23:34.030,0:23:40.270
number ten is saving or exporting now

0:23:37.780,0:23:43.180
this is really simple to do all you have

0:23:40.270,0:23:45.190
to do is you hit command s and what it's

0:23:43.180,0:23:47.890
going to do is going to bring this up

0:23:45.190,0:23:50.350
and it's going to save it as a photoshop

0:23:47.890,0:23:52.990
now saving as a photoshop it's going to

0:23:50.350,0:23:56.590
be a really large file with all of these

0:23:52.990,0:23:58.090
layers contained in side it so it's

0:23:56.590,0:24:00.100
going to be a huge file and you're going

0:23:58.090,0:24:01.960
to be able to go in re edit but maybe

0:24:00.100,0:24:03.880
you want to share this on the web maybe

0:24:01.960,0:24:05.710
you want to do something with this well

0:24:03.880,0:24:08.920
that's great too because if you go to

0:24:05.710,0:24:11.530
and command save again and then you can

0:24:08.920,0:24:14.350
change at the bottom to jpg and it's

0:24:11.530,0:24:16.180
going to save it as a JPEG just by

0:24:14.350,0:24:18.130
hitting save and it will then say what

0:24:16.180,0:24:20.460
quality let's go one hundred percent and

0:24:18.130,0:24:24.460
then that's going to save as a

0:24:20.460,0:24:27.820
completely flattened file just like this

0:24:24.460,0:24:28.690
that you can then put on the wherever

0:24:27.820,0:24:31.570
you want if you

0:24:28.690,0:24:34.840
want it to go to the online I'd

0:24:31.570,0:24:38.320
recommend going edit sorry file and then

0:24:34.840,0:24:40.840
you can go save as like this or what you

0:24:38.320,0:24:43.390
can do is go command option shift save

0:24:40.840,0:24:46.210
and this brings up the save for web

0:24:43.390,0:24:47.950
dialogue okay which is this one where

0:24:46.210,0:24:50.440
you can turn it into whatever format you

0:24:47.950,0:24:52.810
want a JPEG and you can change the size

0:24:50.440,0:24:54.940
of the image and it can change the

0:24:52.810,0:24:57.280
quality of the image over here and it

0:24:54.940,0:25:00.550
will tell you hat down here how big a

0:24:57.280,0:25:02.320
file size is going to be anyway now

0:25:00.550,0:25:05.890
we've got all of that done that is the

0:25:02.320,0:25:08.350
10 points so I was a little bit over 20

0:25:05.890,0:25:11.470
minutes but we got through 10 massive

0:25:08.350,0:25:13.090
points in Photoshop now remember i'm

0:25:11.470,0:25:14.590
going to have tutorials coming out for

0:25:13.090,0:25:16.960
every single one of these points so

0:25:14.590,0:25:19.240
definitely stay tuned in the future and

0:25:16.960,0:25:21.190
