2
00:00:02,220 --> 00:00:04,140

00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,040
section of the video and don't forget to
7
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,599
download the practice files in the
8
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:13,920
description so what in the world is
9
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,100
Photoshop Photoshop is a program to edit
10
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:19,920
and create images made up of pixels I'm
11
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,539
gonna repeat that again for you it's
12
00:00:21,539 --> 00:00:24,420
simply a program to edit and create
13
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:26,880
images made up of pixels now you might
14
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,740
ask Ganesh what the hell is a pixel well
15
00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:30,840
it's a phone from Google right pixel is
16
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,840
a small box with just one color so right
17
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,059
here you have one box with just one
18
00:00:36,059 --> 00:00:37,860
color right next to it you have another
19
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:39,540
box with a slightly different color
20
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:41,219
right next to it right here at the
21
00:00:41,219 --> 00:00:43,440
bottom you have one more box with very
22
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,680
similar color so these boxes of similar
23
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,899
different or same colors come together
24
00:00:48,899 --> 00:00:51,780
to create an image for you so
25
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:53,520
fascinating isn't it when you first open
26
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,620
Photoshop you see the home screen think
27
00:00:55,620 --> 00:00:57,420
of it this way whenever you're doing
28
00:00:57,420 --> 00:00:59,399
something on your phone you swipe up
29
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:01,559
from the bottom to get get to home or on
30
00:01:01,559 --> 00:01:03,359
an Android phone you press the home
31
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:06,180
button to get to home similarly on a car
32
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:08,040
infotainment system let's say you're
33
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,900
listening to music there's a home button
34
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:12,420
which if you press it takes you to home
35
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:14,220
now what does the home have in all of
36
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:17,040
these devices well it gives you a bigger
37
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,619
picture of all of the apps you have and
38
00:01:19,619 --> 00:01:20,759
the apps that you're working on
39
00:01:20,759 --> 00:01:22,619
similarly in Photoshop the home screen
40
00:01:22,619 --> 00:01:24,240
shows the recent projects that you're
41
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,280
working on and your assets so right now
42
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,680
I've not opened anything so if I go here
43
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,020
open one of my projects on color grading
44
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:32,939
and just to give you a glimpse this is
45
00:01:32,939 --> 00:01:35,100
the before this is the after fantastic
46
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,079
isn't it so let's say I made a little
47
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:39,720
change increased the opacity a little
48
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,540
bit saved it by pressing Ctrl or command
49
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:44,040
s we're going to get to all of that
50
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,640
later and we closed it okay now it
51
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,159
begins to show right here whether I open
52
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:52,320
an image it would work the same save it
53
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,180
or not it would work the same this time
54
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:56,220
let's simply drag and drop and we won't
55
00:01:56,220 --> 00:01:58,619
even save it let's drag it and drop it
56
00:01:58,619 --> 00:02:01,020
into Photoshop we opened by the way this
57
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:03,299
is my project on removing dark circles
58
00:02:03,299 --> 00:02:05,700
here's the before here's the after and
59
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:06,840
there's the video on it if you're
60
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,419
interested let's close it
61
00:02:09,419 --> 00:02:11,879
I'm not even saving it and there you go
62
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:14,160
it shows you your recent projects you
63
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,660
can also access your files that you have
64
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:17,099
uploaded to your Creative Cloud and
65
00:02:17,099 --> 00:02:18,660
Creative Cloud Storage is something that
66
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:21,300
you get when you buy Photoshop and right
67
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:23,520
here if you click on your files you will
68
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,680
have access to it please ignore them I
69
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,300
have uploaded some of the most random
70
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:28,980
stuff if someone else has a Creative
71
00:02:28,980 --> 00:02:31,200
Cloud account and he or she has shared a
72
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,300
file with you you can click on this
73
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:35,459
button to access them I know this one is
74
00:02:35,459 --> 00:02:37,680
a bit scary now just as on a phone we
75
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,120
don't actually do anything on the home
76
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,060
screen right we open an app whether to
77
00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:43,860
work or to satiate our addiction to
78
00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:46,019
scrolling memes on Instagram similarly
79
00:02:46,019 --> 00:02:48,420
in Photoshop you can open the photoshop
80
00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:50,580
application or the place where you work
81
00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:53,099
by simply clicking on the Photoshop icon
82
00:02:53,099 --> 00:02:56,340
on the top left once you click on it you
83
00:02:56,340 --> 00:02:58,560
move to a place where you work in other
84
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,660
words it's called the workspace because
85
00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:02,879
it's a space where you work now how do
86
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:04,620
you move back to your home screen just
87
00:03:04,620 --> 00:03:06,720
as in other devices we click on the home
88
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,580
button can you find the home button
89
00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:11,099
right there as you can see it is shaped
90
00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:13,500
as a home clicking on it does what it's
91
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:15,480
supposed to do and here you have your
92
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,980
home screen I hope everything is Crystal
93
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:18,959
Clear I highly recommend that you pause
94
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:21,300
the video and just practice opening
95
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:23,879
Photoshop getting to the home screen and
96
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:26,159
then clicking on the Photoshop icon get
97
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:27,959
to your workspace and click on the home
98
00:03:27,959 --> 00:03:30,239
button to get back just this when you
99
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:31,980
open up your Photoshop workspace which
100
00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:34,260
we did by clicking right here there are
101
00:03:34,260 --> 00:03:36,180
lots and lots of buttons and settings
102
00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:38,819
and it can be intimidating but trust me
103
00:03:38,819 --> 00:03:41,280
there are only three major things that
104
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,840
you need to keep in mind it is simple
105
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,640
think of it like an artist who paints
106
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,099
what does he have he has his tools like
107
00:03:47,099 --> 00:03:49,260
the brushes the erasers the pencils
108
00:03:49,260 --> 00:03:52,500
chisels and other tools like that he has
109
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:54,599
this palette where he mixes all the
110
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:57,599
colors and finally he has his canvas
111
00:03:57,599 --> 00:03:59,760
where all of the work happens where the
112
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,459
painting goes similarly in Photoshop you
113
00:04:02,459 --> 00:04:04,680
have all the tools right here like the
114
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,799
brush tool for brushing selection tools
115
00:04:07,799 --> 00:04:10,260
for selecting and the move tool right
116
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:13,019
here for moving again just like an
117
00:04:13,019 --> 00:04:15,120
artist has pallets bowels where all the
118
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,918
color mixing happens similarly in
119
00:04:16,918 --> 00:04:19,320
Photoshop you have your panels like the
120
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,238
layers panel which maintains the stack
121
00:04:21,238 --> 00:04:23,580
of all of the elements for example if
122
00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:25,620
you want the red to be above you can
123
00:04:25,620 --> 00:04:28,500
bring it on top see now it is on top of
124
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:30,540
the green you have your colors panel
125
00:04:30,540 --> 00:04:32,580
which you use to pick the colors let's
126
00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:34,979
say I want to paint in this purple color
127
00:04:34,979 --> 00:04:37,800
I picked that and I start painting so
128
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,360
you have all of these different panels
129
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,340
to control different functions and
130
00:04:41,340 --> 00:04:44,639
finally we have our canvas where all of
131
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:46,860
the work and the painting goes so right
132
00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:48,660
here this is our canvas and you can see
133
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:50,639
our Masterpiece maybe we'll sell it as
134
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:52,800
an nft for millions of dollars just
135
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,960
kidding quick refresher again what are
136
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,460
the three major parts of Photoshop
137
00:04:56,460 --> 00:05:00,479
workspace you have your tools number one
138
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:03,360
panels number two and number three
139
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,419
canvas tools are the tools with which
140
00:05:06,419 --> 00:05:07,380
you work
141
00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:09,900
panels control different functions and
142
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:11,100
the canvas is where your next
143
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:13,020
Masterpiece will be created and if you
144
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:15,300
love it you're going to do amazing and I
145
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:16,979
can guarantee that now if your workspace
146
00:05:16,979 --> 00:05:19,620
doesn't look like mine do not panic it
147
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:21,060
doesn't even look like the one I use
148
00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:23,759
either so to get started on the same
149
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,820
page simply go to window workspace and
150
00:05:26,820 --> 00:05:28,979
make sure you check Essentials this my
151
00:05:28,979 --> 00:05:31,860
friend is the default workspace now even
152
00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:34,080
now if things are all over the place for
153
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,759
example I move things here and there
154
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:38,280
completely break it up close some of
155
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:40,440
them and this can look like a nightmare
156
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,840
to a lot of new people don't worry we'll
157
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:44,639
fix our Photoshop nightmares right now
158
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:48,000
maybe just go to window workspace even
159
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,759
right now Essentials is checked so what
160
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:52,680
we want to do is to click on this button
161
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,039
called reset Essentials and this is what
162
00:05:56,039 --> 00:05:57,960
you should see now your workspace is
163
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,940
something that is absolutely personal to
164
00:05:59,940 --> 00:06:01,500
you and your workspace might be
165
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:03,180
completely different from mine and that
166
00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:05,400
is absolutely fine and that is how it
167
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,860
should be because it's customized to how
168
00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:09,600
you work and the kind of projects you
169
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,340
work in as you begin to learn Photoshop
170
00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:13,380
and understand what each panels do
171
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:15,539
you'll start to customize your workspace
172
00:06:15,539 --> 00:06:17,820
according to your needs so here's how I
173
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:19,860
create my personal workspace I keep it
174
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:22,139
simple clean and only include the things
175
00:06:22,139 --> 00:06:25,080
that I need for example I don't like my
176
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,180
tools in one line I like it in two lines
177
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:29,340
for quick access so you can click on
178
00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:31,919
this button that way they are in two
179
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:34,080
lines also I don't need any of these
180
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,419
panels so I drag out the entire group
181
00:06:36,419 --> 00:06:39,300
and simply close it properties sometimes
182
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,400
I need it sometimes I don't but I'm just
183
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,919
gonna keep it I don't need adjustments I
184
00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:46,199
also don't need libraries and in
185
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:48,840
Photoshop I use actions all the time now
186
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:50,940
what are actions just know that it's a
187
00:06:50,940 --> 00:06:53,280
way to automate certain functions but
188
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,080
right here we don't see the actions
189
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,479
panel so how do we bring a panel that we
190
00:06:57,479 --> 00:07:00,120
do not see just go to window
191
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,759
find that panel and click on it for
192
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:04,740
example I was looking for the actions
193
00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:07,139
panel click on that and the actions
194
00:07:07,139 --> 00:07:10,080
panel show up so I like to keep it right
195
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,900
here attached maybe in the same line
196
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:15,539
okay also for the properties I keep it
197
00:07:15,539 --> 00:07:17,699
docked right here so you can dock it so
198
00:07:17,699 --> 00:07:19,139
whenever you need properties you can
199
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:20,759
click on right here and the properties
200
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:22,620
will open up so only these are the
201
00:07:22,620 --> 00:07:25,319
panels I mostly need layers channels
202
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:29,460
paths actions history and properties and
203
00:07:29,460 --> 00:07:30,840
these tools right here you don't have to
204
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,520
understand the functions of each panel
205
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,440
right now but absolutely feel free to
206
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,780
use it as a starting point once you have
207
00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:38,819
created your workspace you might want to
208
00:07:38,819 --> 00:07:41,580
save it go to window workspace and then
209
00:07:41,580 --> 00:07:44,520
create new workspace by clicking on new
210
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,039
workspace I'm just gonna name it minimal
211
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:49,680
also you can choose whether to save the
212
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,020
keyboard shortcuts if you had customized
213
00:07:52,020 --> 00:07:54,360
them and the menus and the toolbar if
214
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,520
you had customized them more on that
215
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,960
later you don't have to worry about it
216
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,660
right now click on Save now in go to
217
00:08:00,660 --> 00:08:02,759
window workspace you will see your
218
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:04,919
minimal workspace right there so even if
219
00:08:04,919 --> 00:08:06,960
you mess up mess things up close things
220
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,240
down you can go to window workspace
221
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,759
minimal is still checked but you can
222
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:14,340
click on reset minimal and it's reset to
223
00:08:14,340 --> 00:08:16,020
how it was you can switch between
224
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:18,000
different workspaces you have a
225
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,639
workspace for painting and all of the
226
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:22,440
painting panels will show up and the
227
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,300
tools accordingly will show up so these
228
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,220
are the presets Adobe has created for
229
00:08:26,220 --> 00:08:28,199
you and then you have a workspace for
230
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:30,060
photography as well and then if you want
231
00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:31,620
to switch back to the workspace you
232
00:08:31,620 --> 00:08:34,080
created go to window workspace and
233
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,299
minimal and there you have it before we
234
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:37,979
move on there are three more little
235
00:08:37,979 --> 00:08:39,958
things we need to keep in mind the first
236
00:08:39,958 --> 00:08:42,419
one being the status bar the status bar
237
00:08:42,419 --> 00:08:44,820
is right here at the bottom and it gives
238
00:08:44,820 --> 00:08:47,399
you the status of the image let's say we
239
00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:49,320
zoom in a little more
240
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,800
so this 50 turns into
241
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,300
66.67 percent which means that we are
242
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:55,580
zoomed in
243
00:08:55,580 --> 00:08:59,220
66.67 percent zoom in even more by
244
00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:02,040
pressing Ctrl or command plus
245
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,519
now we are zoomed in at 100 let's zoom
246
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:06,959
out a few times
247
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:10,500
now we are zoomed out at 25 so that is
248
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:12,360
the zoom level which you also see at the
249
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,880
document tab right here right next to it
250
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,620
you have different parameters of the
251
00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:18,779
image so right now we are looking at the
252
00:09:18,779 --> 00:09:20,940
document Dimensions so if we click on
253
00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:23,580
the Arrow right here you can choose what
254
00:09:23,580 --> 00:09:25,920
you're seeing if we check document
255
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,839
Dimensions it's simply saying that the
256
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:30,620
resolution of the document is 4706 by
257
00:09:30,620 --> 00:09:34,220
3137 which means that you have
258
00:09:34,220 --> 00:09:39,019
4706 pixels along the width and
259
00:09:39,019 --> 00:09:42,060
3137 pixels along the height we will
260
00:09:42,060 --> 00:09:44,100
understand pixels and resolutions in
261
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:46,200
later lessons for now you can also look
262
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,839
at other properties for example here is
263
00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:50,220
a thumbnail that I've been working on
264
00:09:50,220 --> 00:09:51,899
and by the way this video is already
265
00:09:51,899 --> 00:09:53,580
published if you want to take a look at
266
00:09:53,580 --> 00:09:55,800
the number of layers in this document
267
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,839
you can click on this Arrow right here
268
00:09:57,839 --> 00:10:00,959
and choose layer count and it shows you
269
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:04,500
19 layers and four groups if I create
270
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:06,959
one more layer at the top by clicking on
271
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:09,480
this button it creates a layer now we
272
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,459
have 20 layers another interesting one
273
00:10:11,459 --> 00:10:14,279
is the current two so right now the move
274
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:16,560
tool is selected so it shows that so if
275
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:18,540
I select any other random tool
276
00:10:18,540 --> 00:10:21,839
see the history brush is selected right
277
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:24,060
now the pen tool is selected so that my
278
00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:26,040
friend is the status bar in a nutshell
279
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,700
it is a bar and it shows the status that
280
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:31,800
is why it's called the status bar I
281
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,140
usually keep it at document Dimensions
282
00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:35,940
it gives you an idea about how big or
283
00:10:35,940 --> 00:10:37,920
small the document is what is the
284
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,140
resolution it always keeps it in check
285
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:42,420
the next one is the menu bar think of it
286
00:10:42,420 --> 00:10:44,160
this way whenever you go to a restaurant
287
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,860
you get the menu you can pick whatever
288
00:10:46,860 --> 00:10:49,500
you want in the menu and order the
289
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:52,320
waiter whatever you want and if the chef
290
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,019
is good you'll get exactly what you want
291
00:10:54,019 --> 00:10:56,640
similarly in Photoshop you have the menu
292
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,640
bar at the top and you can order it to
293
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,980
carry out specific functions for example
294
00:11:01,980 --> 00:11:04,500
you want to create a new file you go to
295
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:07,019
file new again we'll take a look at it
296
00:11:07,019 --> 00:11:09,120
later you want to blur the image go to
297
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,339
filter blur choose any one of these
298
00:11:11,339 --> 00:11:14,339
blurs gaussian blur and there you go you
299
00:11:14,339 --> 00:11:15,959
want to see the layers panel which you
300
00:11:15,959 --> 00:11:17,880
just cannot see and you accidentally
301
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,579
closed it you will go to window and make
302
00:11:20,579 --> 00:11:22,920
sure layers is checked and it will show
303
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,140
it right there so the menu bar which is
304
00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:27,480
at the top is the master menu of
305
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,579
Photoshop it controls how Photoshop
306
00:11:29,579 --> 00:11:31,440
looks how it works and carries out
307
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,180
different functions the next one is the
308
00:11:33,180 --> 00:11:35,399
options bar which is right over here
309
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:37,800
right below the menu bar now what is the
310
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,019
options bar it is absolutely directly
311
00:11:40,019 --> 00:11:42,360
related to tools so whatever tool you
312
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,459
choose for example if we pick the brush
313
00:11:44,459 --> 00:11:48,060
tool a set of options for that tool will
314
00:11:48,060 --> 00:11:50,880
show up in a bar and that my friend is
315
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,399
the options bar so for the brush tool
316
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:55,980
you have these set of options for
317
00:11:55,980 --> 00:11:58,980
example controlling the brush size so
318
00:11:58,980 --> 00:12:01,140
right now we have a smaller brush and
319
00:12:01,140 --> 00:12:02,820
right now we have a bigger brush
320
00:12:02,820 --> 00:12:04,920
controlling the hardness choosing
321
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,260
different types of brush tips all in all
322
00:12:07,260 --> 00:12:10,019
you see the options for that tool and
323
00:12:10,019 --> 00:12:12,360
that is why it is called the options bar
324
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,820
which is simply the options or the
325
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:17,160
settings for a particular tool for
326
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,980
example if we choose the grade into we
327
00:12:19,980 --> 00:12:21,899
have the options for different gradients
328
00:12:21,899 --> 00:12:23,760
right here we can choose different
329
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,339
colors of gradients right here we can
330
00:12:26,339 --> 00:12:28,200
reverse the gradient so just as a
331
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,019
refresher whatever tool you choose a set
332
00:12:31,019 --> 00:12:32,880
of options for that tool is going to
333
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,360
show up in a bar at the top and that my
334
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,399
friend is called the options bar but
335
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:40,260
when you first open Photoshop it didn't
336
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:42,300
look like this right it looked something
337
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:44,880
like this by the way if you go to your
338
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,100
workspace it looked like this so the
339
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:48,540
canvas is not really going to show up
340
00:12:48,540 --> 00:12:50,760
unless you open anything and this brings
341
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,560
us to a very important part of the
342
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:54,420
lesson and something you should learn
343
00:12:54,420 --> 00:12:56,399
first whenever you are learning any
344
00:12:56,399 --> 00:12:59,279
software or program and that is the OCS
345
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:02,579
of the software now what is OCS OCS is
346
00:13:02,579 --> 00:13:04,200
simply learning how to open a file
347
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,620
create a file and save a file by the way
348
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,480
don't look for it online you probably
349
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,880
won't find anything for OCS I came up
350
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,980
with it so how do you open a file the
351
00:13:13,980 --> 00:13:15,720
answer is in the question let me
352
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,660
rephrase that for you we are opening a
353
00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:22,380
file right so where do we need to go
354
00:13:22,380 --> 00:13:26,160
file and what are we doing opening so
355
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,620
click on open that's how you do it let's
356
00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:30,660
say you want to open this image click on
357
00:13:30,660 --> 00:13:33,180
it select it and click on open there you
358
00:13:33,180 --> 00:13:35,820
go that's how to open a file now is this
359
00:13:35,820 --> 00:13:38,459
the way I personally open files not most
360
00:13:38,459 --> 00:13:40,800
of the time and this is the shortcut so
361
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,500
all you do to open a file is just find
362
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:45,240
that file in your finder or file
363
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,940
explorer just drag it and drop it into
364
00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:50,339
Photoshop that also opens the file now
365
00:13:50,339 --> 00:13:52,019
when we are opening a second file with
366
00:13:52,019 --> 00:13:53,700
drag and drop we have to be a little
367
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,800
careful let's say I also want to open
368
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,500
this image right here if I simply drag
369
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:01,200
it and drop it inside of Photoshop over
370
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,079
the canvas right here it will open as a
371
00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:06,660
layer on top and not as a separate
372
00:14:06,660 --> 00:14:08,820
document as I wanted by the way if this
373
00:14:08,820 --> 00:14:10,560
is something you wanted drop it on the
374
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:13,260
canvas however the right way to drop it
375
00:14:13,260 --> 00:14:15,240
if you want to open it as a different
376
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,820
document here's how you do it you simply
377
00:14:17,820 --> 00:14:20,880
drag it and drop it not on the canvas
378
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,700
but right here it opens as a separate
379
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:25,620
document now how do we create a new file
380
00:14:25,620 --> 00:14:28,560
again the answer is in the question we
381
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,920
are creating a new file so what are we
382
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,399
creating a file and a new file so simply
383
00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:37,980
go to new by the way for each function
384
00:14:37,980 --> 00:14:40,740
the keyboard shortcut will be listed on
385
00:14:40,740 --> 00:14:42,420
the right hand side so you can also
386
00:14:42,420 --> 00:14:45,420
press Ctrl n or command n on a Mac so
387
00:14:45,420 --> 00:14:47,279
click on new and right here you have
388
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:49,500
lots of presets you can choose from you
389
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:51,480
have your photo presets like the ones
390
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,820
for landscape if you click on view all
391
00:14:53,820 --> 00:14:56,040
presets you have portraits you have
392
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,560
presets for art and illustration print
393
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,620
like A4 A5 and all of those different
394
00:15:01,620 --> 00:15:03,480
sizes and you can customize the
395
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,339
dimensions right here let's say we want
396
00:15:05,339 --> 00:15:07,459
to create a new document let me name it
397
00:15:07,459 --> 00:15:10,260
piximperfect and we want the width to be
398
00:15:10,260 --> 00:15:13,860
about 6000 pixels not inches so you can
399
00:15:13,860 --> 00:15:15,420
choose the units right here click on the
400
00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:18,420
drop down and choose pixels and this
401
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:21,360
should be 6000 and I want the height to
402
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,720
be 4000 pixel so let's type that in
403
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,579
right now know that we are customizing
404
00:15:26,579 --> 00:15:28,620
our document if you click on this preset
405
00:15:28,620 --> 00:15:31,380
again it resets according to that preset
406
00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:33,300
all right let's set it to how it was
407
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:35,160
resolution right here doesn't matter
408
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,500
much because it's pixels per inch and we
409
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:40,199
are giving our units in pixels so inches
410
00:15:40,199 --> 00:15:42,240
don't come here but again there are
411
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,740
certain scenarios where it's important
412
00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:45,240
and you don't have to worry about any of
413
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,160
that this is advanced stuff I'll cover
414
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,260
it later for right now let's set the
415
00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:51,180
width and height in pixels and you want
416
00:15:51,180 --> 00:15:52,800
to make sure that the color profile is
417
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,740
srgb for now more on color profile later
418
00:15:55,740 --> 00:15:58,019
srgb is a good standard to get started
419
00:15:58,019 --> 00:16:00,839
background should be white 8-bit is fine
420
00:16:00,839 --> 00:16:03,120
for now click on Create and there you
421
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,920
have your new document now how do you
422
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,019
save a file and this is where it gets a
423
00:16:07,019 --> 00:16:08,579
little tricky but don't worry you're
424
00:16:08,579 --> 00:16:10,260
gonna get it absolutely hundred percent
425
00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:12,120
so this is the piximperfect document
426
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,160
that we created let's say we paint
427
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,620
something over it and we want to save it
428
00:16:16,620 --> 00:16:19,320
so again what are we saving a file and
429
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,120
what are we doing with it saving so
430
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,000
let's go to file and save you can also
431
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,399
use the shortcut Ctrl or command s now
432
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:28,440
since this is a brand new document which
433
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,720
has not been previously saved it does
434
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,420
not really exist as of now so when you
435
00:16:33,420 --> 00:16:36,240
choose file save it creates a new
436
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,980
document for you so right here you have
437
00:16:37,980 --> 00:16:39,779
the option to save it on the cloud if
438
00:16:39,779 --> 00:16:41,100
you want to save it on your computer
439
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:43,199
click on this button now you can choose
440
00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:45,300
whatever file name you want but it
441
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:47,100
defaults to the file name that you chose
442
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:49,079
when you are creating the document so
443
00:16:49,079 --> 00:16:51,480
right where we went to file new and when
444
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,980
we were setting up the properties we
445
00:16:52,980 --> 00:16:55,139
typed in piximperfect right so that is
446
00:16:55,139 --> 00:16:57,060
why the default here is piximperfect
447
00:16:57,060 --> 00:16:58,920
already you can of course change it to
448
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,180
whatever you want so I'm going to name
449
00:17:00,180 --> 00:17:03,360
it test1 so right beneath it is an
450
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,520
important setting and that is the file
451
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,919
format if you click on the drop down you
452
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:09,959
have lots of file formats to choose from
453
00:17:09,959 --> 00:17:12,900
you have your regular jpeg you have your
454
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:15,839
PNG and the Photoshop document or in
455
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:19,559
other words photo shop document PST file
456
00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:22,559
format now since this image has only one
457
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:24,480
layer right here and we didn't really
458
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,699
add additional layers all of these
459
00:17:26,699 --> 00:17:29,700
options show up however there will be a
460
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:31,559
challenge so you can choose whatever
461
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:33,720
format you want and click on save to
462
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,760
save it but watch this let's hit cancel
463
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,500
for now and let's create a new layer
464
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:40,320
right here by clicking on this plus icon
465
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,720
here we have layer 1 let us choose a
466
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,880
different color by clicking right here
467
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,340
and then choose whatever color you want
468
00:17:47,340 --> 00:17:50,880
and paint on layer 1. now we have two
469
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,039
layers the background layer and layer
470
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:55,799
one now when we go to file save or press
471
00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:58,080
the shortcut Ctrl or command s and
472
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,299
choose to save it on our computer if you
473
00:18:00,299 --> 00:18:02,280
click on the file format drop down you
474
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,960
don't have those options you know why
475
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,780
because file formats like jpegs or pngs
476
00:18:06,780 --> 00:18:09,360
do not support layers and the only
477
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:12,000
format that support layers show up for
478
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,299
example the Photoshop document or PSD
479
00:18:15,299 --> 00:18:17,400
Photoshop document now I do understand
480
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,140
you have a lot of questions in your mind
481
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:21,059
about saving it as jpegs and other
482
00:18:21,059 --> 00:18:23,520
formats and wait for it all of them will
483
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,080
be cleared so when you save a document
484
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,539
as a PSD file or any of these formats
485
00:18:27,539 --> 00:18:29,340
we'll talk about it in detail in later
486
00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:32,340
lessons let's save it as PSD for now and
487
00:18:32,340 --> 00:18:34,620
this is piximperfect PST let's click on
488
00:18:34,620 --> 00:18:36,240
save you want to make sure maximize
489
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,940
compatibility is checked hit OK let's
490
00:18:38,940 --> 00:18:40,679
close it now of course your recent and
491
00:18:40,679 --> 00:18:42,120
projects are gonna show up right here
492
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:43,740
but you can also open your file directly
493
00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:46,080
from the folder so this is piximperfect
494
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,539
PST let's open that and it opens exactly
495
00:18:48,539 --> 00:18:50,340
the way it was with all the layers
496
00:18:50,340 --> 00:18:52,440
intact now once you have saved a
497
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,020
particular file the save function just
498
00:18:55,020 --> 00:18:57,179
updates it just as with any other
499
00:18:57,179 --> 00:18:59,520
program so right here I have a composite
500
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,799
let's open that and all I want to do is
501
00:19:01,799 --> 00:19:04,020
to update this link right here so I
502
00:19:04,020 --> 00:19:06,720
double click on the T or the text layer
503
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,500
and change it now when I go to file and
504
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:13,380
save the dialog box to choose the
505
00:19:13,380 --> 00:19:15,660
location and the format does not show up
506
00:19:15,660 --> 00:19:18,660
but what it does is that it updates the
507
00:19:18,660 --> 00:19:21,360
current document so let's close it so if
508
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,340
you reopen the same document double
509
00:19:23,340 --> 00:19:24,900
click on it
510
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:27,660
and there you have it it is now updated
511
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:29,460
now if you do want to create a new
512
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:31,140
document and you don't want to disturb
513
00:19:31,140 --> 00:19:34,020
this current one which is composite.psd
514
00:19:34,020 --> 00:19:37,740
you can go to file save as instead of
515
00:19:37,740 --> 00:19:40,080
save let's click on it now this dialog
516
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,360
box shows up you can set the name to
517
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:44,760
composite to for example and click on
518
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,980
Save and you continue working on
519
00:19:46,980 --> 00:19:49,440
composite two maybe you wanted to create
520
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,419
two versions of it and this is one of
521
00:19:51,419 --> 00:19:53,280
the ways now you might ask Umesh that is
522
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,559
all right even if you go to save as
523
00:19:55,559 --> 00:19:57,840
right now you don't have all the options
524
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,120
right here and you don't have them by
525
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:01,620
the way this is a change in the later
526
00:20:01,620 --> 00:20:03,179
versions of Photoshop so I highly
527
00:20:03,179 --> 00:20:04,860
recommend that you're following along
528
00:20:04,860 --> 00:20:07,140
with the latest version you don't have
529
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:09,600
the formats that do not support layers
530
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,580
or other functions of Photoshop so what
531
00:20:11,580 --> 00:20:13,500
if you just wanted to create a copy of
532
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:16,260
this in jpeg or PNG for social media
533
00:20:16,260 --> 00:20:19,559
let's hit cancel go to file and choose
534
00:20:19,559 --> 00:20:22,620
save a copy this does not disturb the
535
00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:24,840
current document you continue to work on
536
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,000
composite 2 that you're working on right
537
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,520
now and it saves the copy in whatever
538
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,140
format you choose so right here
539
00:20:31,140 --> 00:20:32,820
automatically the name comes out to be
540
00:20:32,820 --> 00:20:35,520
composite to copy and you can choose
541
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,640
whatever format you want even jpeg so
542
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,880
for now let's choose JPEG and save it
543
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,320
you have the option to choose the
544
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,840
quality pick what you want hit OK and
545
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,340
now when you open the folder you have
546
00:20:47,340 --> 00:20:49,980
composite to copy dot shapeclick if you
547
00:20:49,980 --> 00:20:51,539
want to learn more and delve deep into
548
00:20:51,539 --> 00:20:54,000
the differences between save save as and
549
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,860
save a copy you can watch this video
550
00:20:55,860 --> 00:20:58,200
these were recent changes to photoshop
551
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,940
let us do a quick refresher when you
552
00:20:59,940 --> 00:21:01,980
open Photoshop what do you see the home
553
00:21:01,980 --> 00:21:03,840
screen and when you click on the
554
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,940
Photoshop icon where do you go the
555
00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:07,860
workspace how do you switch between the
556
00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:09,480
home screen and the workspace by
557
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,919
clicking on the home button right here
558
00:21:10,919 --> 00:21:12,900
and the Photoshop icon right here that's
559
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:14,640
how you switch now what are the three
560
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,039
major things inside of a workspace well
561
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:20,220
you have your tools you have your panels
562
00:21:20,220 --> 00:21:22,260
and on the center stage where the work
563
00:21:22,260 --> 00:21:23,820
happens where the painting goes in other
564
00:21:23,820 --> 00:21:26,520
words you have your canvas apart from
565
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,320
these three major things what are some
566
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,419
other things we see in the workspace at
567
00:21:30,419 --> 00:21:32,640
the top we see the menu bar these are
568
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,860
the main controls of Photoshop right
569
00:21:34,860 --> 00:21:37,320
below it we have the options bar now who
570
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,480
is the options bar related to the
571
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,000
options bar is directly related to tools
572
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,980
so whatever tool you choose for example
573
00:21:43,980 --> 00:21:46,140
you choose the brush tool a set of
574
00:21:46,140 --> 00:21:48,539
options for the brush tool it's going to
575
00:21:48,539 --> 00:21:50,820
show up in a bar at the top and that bar
576
00:21:50,820 --> 00:21:53,520
is my friend called the options bar so
577
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,559
for example we choose the text tool a
578
00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:57,120
set of options for the text tool is
579
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:58,679
going to show up for example the font
580
00:21:58,679 --> 00:22:01,440
the alignment the font size so on and so
581
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,080
forth and at the bottom you have the
582
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,720
status bar right here it shows the zoom
583
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,400
percentage so we are zoomed in at about
584
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,740
33 percent and right here we have the
585
00:22:10,740 --> 00:22:12,240
document Dimensions you can choose to
586
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,919
see different properties for example if
587
00:22:13,919 --> 00:22:16,140
you click on the arrow and choose layer
588
00:22:16,140 --> 00:22:17,460
count it's going to show the number of
589
00:22:17,460 --> 00:22:19,980
layers in this document and it shows 6
590
00:22:19,980 --> 00:22:22,200
and we do have six right here now it is
591
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,700
time for us to take a look at the three
592
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:25,980
major things in detail what are the
593
00:22:25,980 --> 00:22:27,600
three major things again
594
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,500
tools panels and canvas let's start with
595
00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:33,539
tools we just learned that whatever tool
596
00:22:33,539 --> 00:22:35,880
we choose the options for that too will
597
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,919
show up at the top and that bar is
598
00:22:37,919 --> 00:22:39,720
called the options bar also there are
599
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,760
tools that are hidden inside of a group
600
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,980
whenever you see a small arrow on the
601
00:22:43,980 --> 00:22:46,380
right corner the right button if you
602
00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:49,020
click and hold you will find other tools
603
00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:51,240
in that group for example you want to
604
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,640
choose the blur tool you go to the blur
605
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,740
tool and you let go instead of the
606
00:22:55,740 --> 00:22:57,720
rectangular Marquee 2 you want the
607
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,640
elliptical Marquee 2 you click and hold
608
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,220
you choose that so similar tools are
609
00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:04,200
grouped together let us learn about the
610
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,820
four most important Tools in Photoshop
611
00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:07,620
starting with the move tool the move
612
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:09,780
tool as the name suggests is for moving
613
00:23:09,780 --> 00:23:11,280
stuff so let's say you want to move this
614
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,700
text choose that layer and then you can
615
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:16,860
move it however you want let's say you
616
00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:19,260
want to move this text choose that layer
617
00:23:19,260 --> 00:23:21,059
so this is the text layer that we were
618
00:23:21,059 --> 00:23:23,039
choosing by the way right next to it is
619
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:25,380
the cutout that is putting the text
620
00:23:25,380 --> 00:23:27,780
behind if we didn't have the cutout it
621
00:23:27,780 --> 00:23:29,580
would look like this don't worry about
622
00:23:29,580 --> 00:23:32,820
it now for now just choose the text so
623
00:23:32,820 --> 00:23:35,520
select the T right here and then you can
624
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,440
move this by the way if you're trying to
625
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,659
move this text and something else moves
626
00:23:39,659 --> 00:23:42,299
it just means that Auto Select is turned
627
00:23:42,299 --> 00:23:45,240
on turn it off we'll learn about it in a
628
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,159
while but for right now just turn it off
629
00:23:47,159 --> 00:23:48,900
as default now let's say you wanted to
630
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:51,480
Center this text so first of all select
631
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,820
that text layer and the move tool of
632
00:23:53,820 --> 00:23:55,860
course has a lot of options and where
633
00:23:55,860 --> 00:23:58,380
would we find it in the options bar so
634
00:23:58,380 --> 00:24:00,059
we want to center it according to the
635
00:24:00,059 --> 00:24:02,580
canvas so click on the three dots and
636
00:24:02,580 --> 00:24:05,820
choose align to Canvas right here now
637
00:24:05,820 --> 00:24:07,140
you have different options right here
638
00:24:07,140 --> 00:24:09,120
right here as well so you can Center it
639
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:10,860
this way you can align it to the side
640
00:24:10,860 --> 00:24:13,500
the right side Center it vertically
641
00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:15,659
horizontally you have all of the
642
00:24:15,659 --> 00:24:17,280
different options so I'm just going to
643
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,260
place it right here and make sure it is
644
00:24:19,260 --> 00:24:21,480
centered by clicking this button now
645
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,700
let's talk about Auto Select so this is
646
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:25,559
a brand new document I'm going to create
647
00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:27,480
a new layer by clicking on this button
648
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,600
let's choose a brush and let's dab once
649
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,940
let's create one more layer and this
650
00:24:32,940 --> 00:24:35,100
time let's choose a different color like
651
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:38,340
this dab one more time let's create one
652
00:24:38,340 --> 00:24:40,200
more layer and with a different color
653
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,919
like this dab one more time so we have
654
00:24:43,919 --> 00:24:47,220
layer 1 layer 2 and layer 3. now if we
655
00:24:47,220 --> 00:24:48,720
select the move tool and keep in mind
656
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,419
Auto Select is not checked if layer 3
657
00:24:51,419 --> 00:24:53,700
which is the blue circle is selected no
658
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:56,039
matter what we do no matter where we
659
00:24:56,039 --> 00:24:59,280
click only that moves if layer 2 is
660
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,340
selected only layer 2 moves if layer 1
661
00:25:02,340 --> 00:25:05,520
is selected only that moves however if
662
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,980
you check Auto Select even if layer 1 is
663
00:25:07,980 --> 00:25:09,960
selected which is the green circle and
664
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,000
you click on the blue circle that
665
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,220
automatically gets selected and that
666
00:25:14,220 --> 00:25:16,559
moves if you click on layer 2 Circle
667
00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:18,960
that moves automatically gets selected
668
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,480
layer 1 Circle that moves now the
669
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,039
problem with Auto Select is that when
670
00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:24,840
things are overlapping or too close to
671
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,940
each other it selects the wrong layer
672
00:25:26,940 --> 00:25:28,620
and that is why I usually keep it
673
00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:30,600
unchecked but when you need it when
674
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,460
things are very distinct you can hold
675
00:25:32,460 --> 00:25:34,559
the Ctrl key on Windows or command on a
676
00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:37,260
Mac and Auto Select will be temporarily
677
00:25:37,260 --> 00:25:39,419
checked so right now if I want to do any
678
00:25:39,419 --> 00:25:42,000
of the auto selections I can do it if if
679
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000
I let go of the control or command
680
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,179
Auto Select is not checked anymore and
681
00:25:48,179 --> 00:25:49,860
finally I want you to remember this
682
00:25:49,860 --> 00:25:52,200
shortcut for eternity and that is the
683
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,080
letter V for the move to you don't
684
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,880
always go and find the move tool and
685
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,520
select it use the shortcut yes every
686
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,799
tool has a shortcut for example you're
687
00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:03,419
working with the brush tool by the way
688
00:26:03,419 --> 00:26:05,700
the shortcut of the brush tool is b b
689
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:08,820
for brush but move tool is not M it's V
690
00:26:08,820 --> 00:26:12,539
so press V the move tool is selected now
691
00:26:12,539 --> 00:26:14,580
let's move to the brush tool what is the
692
00:26:14,580 --> 00:26:16,980
shortcut to the brush tool B shortcut to
693
00:26:16,980 --> 00:26:19,440
the move tool V so let's Press B to
694
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,179
select the brush tool now the brush tool
695
00:26:21,179 --> 00:26:23,100
to keep it simple is used for brushing
696
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:24,779
let's create a new layer by clicking on
697
00:26:24,779 --> 00:26:27,179
this button and with the brush we can
698
00:26:27,179 --> 00:26:29,100
paint that's something you already know
699
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:30,539
now along with the brush of course you
700
00:26:30,539 --> 00:26:32,640
have lots of options for the brush that
701
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,700
show up in the options bar so right here
702
00:26:35,700 --> 00:26:37,559
you can choose the type of the brush so
703
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:39,659
there's fun ones like the charcoal brush
704
00:26:39,659 --> 00:26:41,279
right here by the way you're seeing
705
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:43,260
pressure sensitive brushes and this
706
00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:45,059
shape will only show up if you're using
707
00:26:45,059 --> 00:26:47,520
a pressure sensitive graphic tablet if
708
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,020
you're using a mouse you won't see the
709
00:26:49,020 --> 00:26:50,880
corners around the edge it just means
710
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,279
that when you press softly the brush
711
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:56,340
would be smaller if you press harder you
712
00:26:56,340 --> 00:26:58,200
will have a bigger brush and of course
713
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,820
you can choose whatever brush tip you
714
00:26:59,820 --> 00:27:01,500
want for example there's this charcoal
715
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:03,480
one and it paints like a charcoal
716
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,600
there's a splatter brush which paints
717
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,700
splatter like this now there's one more
718
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:10,500
important thing let us first choose the
719
00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:12,600
hard run brush and let's say we want to
720
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,980
paint in Blue by the way you can switch
721
00:27:13,980 --> 00:27:15,539
between these colors the foreground
722
00:27:15,539 --> 00:27:16,980
color and the background color by
723
00:27:16,980 --> 00:27:19,020
pressing X don't worry about all of this
724
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:20,640
right now whatever color you want to
725
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,039
paint with just make sure the top square
726
00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:25,260
has that color you can click on it to
727
00:27:25,260 --> 00:27:27,000
choose whatever color you want so right
728
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,220
now this is the brush size now of course
729
00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:31,620
you can go here and change the brush
730
00:27:31,620 --> 00:27:33,840
size you can decrease it now this is a
731
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,640
smaller brush you can increase it now
732
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,919
you have a bigger brush you can decrease
733
00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:39,840
the hardness now you have a soft brush
734
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,000
you can increase the hardness you have a
735
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,380
harder brush but there has to be a
736
00:27:43,380 --> 00:27:45,240
shortcut for it right yes of course so
737
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,799
you can use the bracket Keys the right
738
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:48,779
bracket key to increase the brush size
739
00:27:48,779 --> 00:27:52,080
and the left bracket key to decrease the
740
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,360
brush size also on a Windows you can
741
00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:55,860
hold the ALT key and the right Mouse
742
00:27:55,860 --> 00:27:58,080
button click and drag to the right to
743
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,299
increase the brush size click and drag
744
00:28:00,299 --> 00:28:02,220
to the left to decrease it if you drag
745
00:28:02,220 --> 00:28:05,159
it to the top it makes it softer drag it
746
00:28:05,159 --> 00:28:07,440
to the bottom it makes it harder and on
747
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,539
a Mac you would be pressing option and
748
00:28:09,539 --> 00:28:11,820
Ctrl and then clicking and drag with the
749
00:28:11,820 --> 00:28:13,500
mouse now let's talk about the text tool
750
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:14,880
what is the shortcut for the move tool
751
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,980
by the way V shortcut for the brush tool
752
00:28:16,980 --> 00:28:19,980
B shortcut for the text to T shortcut
753
00:28:19,980 --> 00:28:22,559
for the move tool V just reminding you
754
00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:24,419
now the text tool is pretty simple it's
755
00:28:24,419 --> 00:28:26,880
very similar to other programs like word
756
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,919
so with the text tool selected if you
757
00:28:28,919 --> 00:28:31,559
just click lorem ipsum is going to show
758
00:28:31,559 --> 00:28:33,419
up just to show you how the text is
759
00:28:33,419 --> 00:28:35,100
going to look like now you can type
760
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:38,159
whatever text you want text and just
761
00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:40,020
like other programs you can select the
762
00:28:40,020 --> 00:28:41,940
text change the font to whatever you
763
00:28:41,940 --> 00:28:44,340
want you can change the size to whatever
764
00:28:44,340 --> 00:28:45,840
you want so these are the different
765
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,299
sizes you can also type in your size so
766
00:28:48,299 --> 00:28:51,299
I'm going to type in 500 PX and there we
767
00:28:51,299 --> 00:28:53,039
have it if you want more properties you
768
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:54,779
can click right here here you can
769
00:28:54,779 --> 00:28:56,220
control the gap between two lines
770
00:28:56,220 --> 00:28:58,080
control the gap between each letter if
771
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,000
you increase it there you go there's a
772
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,500
lot of space in there also there's
773
00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:03,779
another way to add text is if you select
774
00:29:03,779 --> 00:29:05,880
the text tool if you click and drag you
775
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,880
can create a text box and you can type
776
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,279
in that text box so I'm going to set the
777
00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:13,020
size to about 100 now there's a gap
778
00:29:13,020 --> 00:29:14,820
between all of these lines so we can go
779
00:29:14,820 --> 00:29:16,860
to this setting right here and just
780
00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:18,659
decrease the Gap so I'm going to set it
781
00:29:18,659 --> 00:29:21,779
to about 48 pixels or even more you can
782
00:29:21,779 --> 00:29:23,580
also hold the shift key and use the up
783
00:29:23,580 --> 00:29:25,320
and down arrow keys to increase the Gap
784
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,600
and the text continues in this text box
785
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,880
you can align it to the left to the
786
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,380
right it's up to you to the center
787
00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:33,720
exactly like Google Docs Microsoft Word
788
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,539
Pages or whatever you use and if you
789
00:29:36,539 --> 00:29:39,179
want to mod the 5 a text you just double
790
00:29:39,179 --> 00:29:42,059
click on the T of the text layer and
791
00:29:42,059 --> 00:29:44,220
modify it
792
00:29:44,220 --> 00:29:45,840
and this is the absolute correct
793
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,179
spelling of mod D5 look it up now let's
794
00:29:48,179 --> 00:29:49,679
talk about the zoom tool we don't need
795
00:29:49,679 --> 00:29:51,000
to remember the shortcut for it there's
796
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,679
a reason for it by the way what is the
797
00:29:52,679 --> 00:29:54,960
shortcut for the move tool V brush tool
798
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,659
B text tool T so you have never seen me
799
00:29:57,659 --> 00:30:00,240
particularly select the zoom tool to
800
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,220
zoom in yes you can select the zoom tool
801
00:30:02,220 --> 00:30:03,779
click and drag on the right to zoom in
802
00:30:03,779 --> 00:30:05,760
click and drag on the left to zoom out
803
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,860
by the way if you have scrubby Zoom
804
00:30:07,860 --> 00:30:09,960
checked off you cannot drag left or
805
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,580
right if you try to do that it allows
806
00:30:11,580 --> 00:30:13,260
you to create a section and when you let
807
00:30:13,260 --> 00:30:15,539
go it zooms in to that section so I
808
00:30:15,539 --> 00:30:17,279
highly recommend that you always keep
809
00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:19,679
this checked on so we don't really need
810
00:30:19,679 --> 00:30:21,960
to go to the zoom too you can be on any
811
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,940
two like the brush tool the move tool
812
00:30:23,940 --> 00:30:25,980
let's go to the move tool and all you
813
00:30:25,980 --> 00:30:28,620
have to remember is this shortcut hold
814
00:30:28,620 --> 00:30:30,720
the control and spacebar on a Mac
815
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,240
command and spacebar click and drag on
816
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,100
the right to zoom in click and drag on
817
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:36,659
the left to zoom out and when you let go
818
00:30:36,659 --> 00:30:38,460
you're in the same tool that you were
819
00:30:38,460 --> 00:30:40,260
working on for example even with the
820
00:30:40,260 --> 00:30:42,179
selection tool this is by the way the
821
00:30:42,179 --> 00:30:45,779
lasso 2 zoom in zoom out move around how
822
00:30:45,779 --> 00:30:48,059
are we moving around if you just hold
823
00:30:48,059 --> 00:30:50,039
the space bar the tool momentarily
824
00:30:50,039 --> 00:30:51,720
changes to the hand tool and you can
825
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,240
click and drag to move around so this is
826
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,159
how we navigate around the canvas hold
827
00:30:56,159 --> 00:30:57,960
the controller command and the spacebar
828
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,240
drag right and left to zoom and zoom out
829
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,340
if you let go of the control or command
830
00:31:02,340 --> 00:31:04,980
and just keep the spacebar pressed in
831
00:31:04,980 --> 00:31:08,039
you can move around now once you have
832
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:10,140
zoomed in if you want to fit the image
833
00:31:10,140 --> 00:31:12,059
to the canvas what do you do yes you can
834
00:31:12,059 --> 00:31:14,340
zoom out and try to fit it but there's a
835
00:31:14,340 --> 00:31:15,659
shortcut for it let's say you're zoomed
836
00:31:15,659 --> 00:31:17,520
in right here you can press Ctrl or
837
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,799
command 0 to fit it to the screen let's
838
00:31:19,799 --> 00:31:21,480
try one more time we are zoomed in right
839
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,120
here Ctrl or command 0. by the way
840
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,159
there's another shortcut let's say you
841
00:31:26,159 --> 00:31:28,200
were removing blemishes so I'm going to
842
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,179
choose the spot healing brush tool it is
843
00:31:30,179 --> 00:31:31,799
the simplest one I don't use it all the
844
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:34,080
time but for Simplicity let's say we
845
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,820
were using that to remove all of these
846
00:31:35,820 --> 00:31:37,440
blemishes now you want to move to other
847
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,000
section of the portrait you have zoomed
848
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,039
in too much you have to drag in now
849
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:43,320
instead of doing that you can also hold
850
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,620
the H key click and hold it gives you a
851
00:31:46,620 --> 00:31:48,059
bird's eye view of the image let's say
852
00:31:48,059 --> 00:31:50,279
you want to zoom in right here once you
853
00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:53,039
go right here and you let go it zooms
854
00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:54,779
into that area now it's time for us to
855
00:31:54,779 --> 00:31:56,940
check out panels why because it's one of
856
00:31:56,940 --> 00:31:58,919
those three major things what's the
857
00:31:58,919 --> 00:31:59,820
first one
858
00:31:59,820 --> 00:32:02,580
tools second panels and the third one
859
00:32:02,580 --> 00:32:04,919
canvas let's talk about panels now the
860
00:32:04,919 --> 00:32:06,299
most important panel which you might
861
00:32:06,299 --> 00:32:08,220
have guessed is the layers panel the
862
00:32:08,220 --> 00:32:10,620
layers panel maintains a stack of all of
863
00:32:10,620 --> 00:32:12,600
your elements for example here is your
864
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,520
background here is the black and white
865
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,039
effect keeping the subject in color here
866
00:32:17,039 --> 00:32:19,679
is the text here is some contrast here's
867
00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:21,659
a rectangle gradient at the bottom so
868
00:32:21,659 --> 00:32:24,539
that when the next layer which is a text
869
00:32:24,539 --> 00:32:26,940
shows up the text needs to Stand Out by
870
00:32:26,940 --> 00:32:28,500
the way you also might have noticed up
871
00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:30,600
until now you can turn off and on or
872
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,520
hide and show a particular layer by
873
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,100
clicking on the I button so when the eye
874
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:37,559
is not showing up that layer is turned
875
00:32:37,559 --> 00:32:41,100
off and when the I shows up that layer
876
00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:43,140
shows up so let's say we create a new
877
00:32:43,140 --> 00:32:45,960
layer and create a red blob on layer 1
878
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,140
we create one more layer and this is a
879
00:32:49,140 --> 00:32:51,720
green blob let's create it green blob
880
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,940
okay now you can change the order of
881
00:32:53,940 --> 00:32:56,700
less you can take layer 1 at the top or
882
00:32:56,700 --> 00:32:58,620
layer 2 at the top see how layers
883
00:32:58,620 --> 00:33:00,720
maintain a stack all also here's another
884
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,520
basic function if you decrease the
885
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,580
opacity it increases the transparency of
886
00:33:05,580 --> 00:33:07,620
that layer the more you decrease the
887
00:33:07,620 --> 00:33:09,840
opacity the more this layer which is
888
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,960
layer 2 green blob becomes transparent
889
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,419
so right now it's very transparent if
890
00:33:15,419 --> 00:33:17,580
the opacity is at 100 it's not
891
00:33:17,580 --> 00:33:19,799
transparent at all let us talk about the
892
00:33:19,799 --> 00:33:21,659
most important function and a panel
893
00:33:21,659 --> 00:33:23,519
related to it and that is the history
894
00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:25,679
panel if the history panel doesn't show
895
00:33:25,679 --> 00:33:27,179
up for you by the way this is the one
896
00:33:27,179 --> 00:33:29,640
you can go to window and click on
897
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,220
History just to be sure there you go it
898
00:33:32,220 --> 00:33:34,500
keeps the track of all of your steps for
899
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:37,080
example if we create a new layer it says
900
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,720
we created a new layer and if we take a
901
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,799
brush
902
00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:43,200
and let's choose the color to Blue and
903
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,240
we paint one stroke it records that
904
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,039
another stroke another stroke another
905
00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:49,500
stroke and you can use this tool to go
906
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:52,140
back in steps alright and speaking of
907
00:33:52,140 --> 00:33:54,360
going back in steps it is very essential
908
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,399
that you understand how undo and redo
909
00:33:56,399 --> 00:33:58,440
Works in Photoshop so press controller
910
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,720
command Z or Z however you pronounce it
911
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,700
to go back
912
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:06,960
and Ctrl shift Z command shift Z to go
913
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,780
forward in steps so the shortcut to go
914
00:34:09,780 --> 00:34:11,879
back is controller command Z and the
915
00:34:11,879 --> 00:34:14,280
shortcut to move forward in steps Ctrl
916
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,918
or command shift Z Now moving on to the
917
00:34:16,918 --> 00:34:18,359
final one where the work happens and
918
00:34:18,359 --> 00:34:20,820
that is the canvas let's open up three
919
00:34:20,820 --> 00:34:22,320
images in Photoshop so I'm going to
920
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,359
select the set of three open that in
921
00:34:24,359 --> 00:34:27,359
Photoshop now they show up as different
922
00:34:27,359 --> 00:34:29,639
tabs right here now these are different
923
00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:31,800
documents and each document of course
924
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,080
has a canvas now besides keeping them as
925
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,480
tabs you can also pull it out so there
926
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,320
you go
927
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,659
there you are so you can work like this
928
00:34:39,659 --> 00:34:41,580
if you wish to if you want to set them
929
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:43,520
as tabs again you would go to window
930
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,980
arrange and again consolidate All To
931
00:34:46,980 --> 00:34:49,320
tabs now they're back to tabs and
932
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:50,760
finally if you want to compare all of
933
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,440
them let's say you want to pick one for
934
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,300
social media you can go to window
935
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:56,879
arrange and since there are three we're
936
00:34:56,879 --> 00:34:59,339
gonna choose three up horizontal or
937
00:34:59,339 --> 00:35:01,380
vertical let us choose the vertical one
938
00:35:01,380 --> 00:35:02,940
and now we have all three of them side
939
00:35:02,940 --> 00:35:05,640
by side by the way if I zoom out these
940
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,500
ones zoom out too and how is that
941
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:09,660
happening if you select the zoom tool if
942
00:35:09,660 --> 00:35:12,000
you check Zoom all windows all the
943
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,040
windows will be zoomed in and if you
944
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,200
hold the space bar of course this moves
945
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,119
but if you hold shift along with the
946
00:35:18,119 --> 00:35:20,520
space bar all of them move together now
947
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:21,900
here's the most important tip about
948
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:24,420
canvases you want to take a look at how
949
00:35:24,420 --> 00:35:26,160
your image looks in different
950
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,320
backgrounds for example this is a
951
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,420
YouTube thumbnail and YouTube in regular
952
00:35:30,420 --> 00:35:32,880
mode is a little off-white in color so
953
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,260
we want to see how this image is going
954
00:35:34,260 --> 00:35:35,820
to look like when uploaded as a YouTube
955
00:35:35,820 --> 00:35:37,260
thumbnail so here's how you change
956
00:35:37,260 --> 00:35:40,320
change your canvas background color you
957
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,300
right click on the canvas background and
958
00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:43,800
you can choose whatever color you want
959
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,359
for example black
960
00:35:45,359 --> 00:35:48,300
dark gray medium gray light gray but if
961
00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:50,579
you want a custom color first of all
962
00:35:50,579 --> 00:35:52,740
right click and set a custom color by
963
00:35:52,740 --> 00:35:55,020
clicking on select custom color you can
964
00:35:55,020 --> 00:35:56,520
set it to whatever you want so let's see
965
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,380
your website has a light blue background
966
00:35:58,380 --> 00:36:00,660
for some reason so let us choose light
967
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:03,599
blue hit OK and whenever you choose
968
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:05,220
custom it will be light blue it's going
969
00:36:05,220 --> 00:36:06,660
to give you an idea of how this image is
970
00:36:06,660 --> 00:36:08,040
going to look in your website for
971
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,839
YouTube I usually set it to a little
972
00:36:09,839 --> 00:36:11,579
off-white you can also pick the color
973
00:36:11,579 --> 00:36:14,280
from YouTube hit OK and now you have the
974
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,320
YouTube color so this is the default
975
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,599
this is the black and when you choose
976
00:36:18,599 --> 00:36:20,520
custom the color will be set to whatever
977
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,099
color you had selected when you chose
978
00:36:23,099 --> 00:36:25,079
select custom color now it is time for
979
00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:26,940
us to discuss one of the most important
980
00:36:26,940 --> 00:36:29,160
parts of Photoshop and that is transform
981
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,680
and this is where it all starts so here
982
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,960
we have a background I want to put a b
983
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,880
in it so I have a picture of a b with a
984
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,440
transparent background and again what
985
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,300
did we learn before if you click and
986
00:36:39,300 --> 00:36:41,160
drag right here it will open as a
987
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,780
different document but if you click and
988
00:36:42,780 --> 00:36:44,820
drag and drop over the canvas it will be
989
00:36:44,820 --> 00:36:47,099
on the same document as a separate layer
990
00:36:47,099 --> 00:36:48,900
let's hit enter for now so that we can
991
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:50,760
bring up transform the way to bring up
992
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,579
transform is pressing Ctrl or command T
993
00:36:53,579 --> 00:36:55,500
another long way of doing that is by
994
00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:58,020
going to edit and then transform and
995
00:36:58,020 --> 00:36:59,160
then you can choose the regular
996
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:00,480
transform or different kinds of
997
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,119
transform for now choose scale and it
998
00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:04,920
shows up now you can use these points to
999
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,619
make it bigger or smaller from any of
1000
00:37:07,619 --> 00:37:09,780
these points but right now it maintains
1001
00:37:09,780 --> 00:37:11,940
the aspect ratio if you want to squish
1002
00:37:11,940 --> 00:37:13,859
it or stretch it you would hold the
1003
00:37:13,859 --> 00:37:16,440
shift key and now when you do it you can
1004
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,980
squish it stretch it this way that way
1005
00:37:19,980 --> 00:37:22,320
whatever way you want once you want to
1006
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,660
apply it hit enter or return there you
1007
00:37:24,660 --> 00:37:26,280
have it now let's press Ctrl or command
1008
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,380
Z to get back this is not how we wanted
1009
00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:31,920
it to be and B that worked well now to
1010
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,540
rotate it you would of course have to be
1011
00:37:33,540 --> 00:37:35,880
on the transform Zone again press Ctrl
1012
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,800
or command T when you take the cursor
1013
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,619
outside a Bent Arrow shows up so you
1014
00:37:40,619 --> 00:37:43,619
click and drag to rotate there you go
1015
00:37:43,619 --> 00:37:45,660
here's another trick if you hold the
1016
00:37:45,660 --> 00:37:48,300
shift key and then do it it will rotate
1017
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:52,920
by 15 degrees so right now it's 0 15 30
1018
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,020
45 you see that another important
1019
00:37:55,020 --> 00:37:56,760
setting you should know is flipping once
1020
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,859
you are in controller command D you can
1021
00:37:58,859 --> 00:38:00,660
right click on it and choose to flip it
1022
00:38:00,660 --> 00:38:02,339
horizontally
1023
00:38:02,339 --> 00:38:04,800
or vertically of course we don't want
1024
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,200
that so let's flip it again and this is
1025
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,060
a nice flip also let us not forget the
1026
00:38:09,060 --> 00:38:11,040
anchor points now what does an anchor
1027
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,140
point do it simply anchors the graphic
1028
00:38:13,140 --> 00:38:15,000
from that point so if you press Ctrl or
1029
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,740
command D you see this point right here
1030
00:38:16,740 --> 00:38:18,359
in the middle that is the Anchor Point
1031
00:38:18,359 --> 00:38:20,040
if you don't see it make sure this
1032
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,200
checkbox is checked if it's unchecked
1033
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,060
you won't see it check it you will see
1034
00:38:24,060 --> 00:38:25,380
it now you must have noticed that
1035
00:38:25,380 --> 00:38:27,839
whenever you rotate it rotates from that
1036
00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:29,940
point if you hold the ALT key or the
1037
00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:32,280
option key and then when you resize it
1038
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,040
resizes from that point however you can
1039
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,140
move the point so I can move the point
1040
00:38:37,140 --> 00:38:39,960
right here and now when you hold the ALT
1041
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,579
key or the option key and try to resize
1042
00:38:41,579 --> 00:38:44,099
it resizes from that point you can also
1043
00:38:44,099 --> 00:38:46,079
hold the shift key to let go of the
1044
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:49,500
aspect ratios and still it resizes from
1045
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:52,020
that point as an anchor if you try to
1046
00:38:52,020 --> 00:38:55,320
rotate it it rotates from that point so
1047
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,060
that is the flexibility you get with the
1048
00:38:57,060 --> 00:38:59,400
anchor points now you can hold the ALT
1049
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,500
key or the option key and click anywhere
1050
00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:03,900
to move the Anchor Point there you can
1051
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:06,359
also have the Anchor Point outside now
1052
00:39:06,359 --> 00:39:08,579
when you rotate it it rotates from that
1053
00:39:08,579 --> 00:39:10,260
point another quick tip you also have
1054
00:39:10,260 --> 00:39:12,780
presets so if you click on this one it
1055
00:39:12,780 --> 00:39:14,820
sets to this corner if you click on this
1056
00:39:14,820 --> 00:39:16,619
one now you have this corner now it
1057
00:39:16,619 --> 00:39:18,780
rotates from there you can set it in the
1058
00:39:18,780 --> 00:39:21,119
middle by simply clicking right here now
1059
00:39:21,119 --> 00:39:23,160
it's in the middle now transform doesn't
1060
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,099
end there there are so many options that
1061
00:39:26,099 --> 00:39:28,200
you can work with so many settings and
1062
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,820
that calls for a whole different lesson
1063
00:39:29,820 --> 00:39:31,140
we are moving towards the end of the
1064
00:39:31,140 --> 00:39:33,300
tutorial and let's move away from all of
1065
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:34,920
the concepts and the hard things and
1066
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,780
let's do a fun project you can follow
1067
00:39:36,780 --> 00:39:38,520
along the project files are in the
1068
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:39,960
description so here we have a subject
1069
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,000
and a new background what we want to do
1070
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,160
is to change the background so let's
1071
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,020
bring in the subject into Photoshop
1072
00:39:46,020 --> 00:39:47,940
let's drag it and drop it right over
1073
00:39:47,940 --> 00:39:49,560
here now since we want to change the
1074
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,000
background we have to have a new
1075
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,859
background so let's go to our finder or
1076
00:39:52,859 --> 00:39:55,079
Explorer and click and drag this
1077
00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:57,240
background on top of the canvas right
1078
00:39:57,240 --> 00:40:00,420
here now the background needs to be at
1079
00:40:00,420 --> 00:40:02,579
the back right so first of all let's
1080
00:40:02,579 --> 00:40:04,920
adjust the size hold the ALT key of the
1081
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,960
option key click and drag from one of
1082
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,300
the corners to make sure it becomes
1083
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:11,520
larger from The Anchor Point from the
1084
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,680
middle right here let's make it this
1085
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,079
large hit enter or return now the
1086
00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:18,060
background needs to be at the back but
1087
00:40:18,060 --> 00:40:20,040
if we try to take it at the back it's
1088
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,320
not going you know why because the
1089
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,420
subject layer right here is locked so
1090
00:40:24,420 --> 00:40:26,400
how do we unlock a layer by simply
1091
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,980
clicking on this button now when you try
1092
00:40:28,980 --> 00:40:31,619
it it goes back how do we name a layer
1093
00:40:31,619 --> 00:40:34,140
just double click on the text and type
1094
00:40:34,140 --> 00:40:35,760
whatever you want so I'm gonna type in
1095
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,920
subject now we cannot see the new
1096
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,660
background you know why because we
1097
00:40:39,660 --> 00:40:41,579
already have the old background right
1098
00:40:41,579 --> 00:40:43,740
here by the way to make the thumbnails
1099
00:40:43,740 --> 00:40:45,300
bigger right click on an empty space
1100
00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:47,280
click on large thumbnails and now you
1101
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,720
have bigger ones now to remove the
1102
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:50,820
background watch how hard Photoshop is
1103
00:40:50,820 --> 00:40:53,220
all you have to do is to go to
1104
00:40:53,220 --> 00:40:55,560
properties right here and if you scroll
1105
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,380
down you have the option to remove the
1106
00:40:58,380 --> 00:41:00,540
background just click on it
1107
00:41:00,540 --> 00:41:02,700
see how challenging that was and the
1108
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:04,500
background is gone and now we see
1109
00:41:04,500 --> 00:41:06,960
through the new background but there's
1110
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,180
still a problem with that here's the old
1111
00:41:09,180 --> 00:41:11,520
background it was blurred out when we
1112
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,980
see the new background it is dark sharp
1113
00:41:13,980 --> 00:41:15,900
so it needs to be a little blurred too
1114
00:41:15,900 --> 00:41:18,180
so to do anything to anything we have to
1115
00:41:18,180 --> 00:41:20,460
first select it so we need to blur the
1116
00:41:20,460 --> 00:41:22,619
new background so make sure you select
1117
00:41:22,619 --> 00:41:24,780
the new background and then what is
1118
00:41:24,780 --> 00:41:27,119
blurring it's simply a filter so where
1119
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:29,160
are we gonna find it inside of filter
1120
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,460
let's go to filter blur and there are
1121
00:41:32,460 --> 00:41:34,619
lots of blurs that you can try for now
1122
00:41:34,619 --> 00:41:37,260
let's go to gaussian Blue now this is
1123
00:41:37,260 --> 00:41:38,640
too much you can increase or decrease
1124
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,560
the amount for now I'm gonna set it to
1125
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,339
about 16 pixels hit OK it's looking
1126
00:41:44,339 --> 00:41:47,220
fantastic but if you look closely
1127
00:41:47,220 --> 00:41:49,260
there's still a problem around the edges
1128
00:41:49,260 --> 00:41:51,480
the edges don't look good you know why
1129
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,000
the edges soak in the color or the light
1130
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,520
from the previous background since the
1131
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,680
previous background was too bright it
1132
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,599
took in that color so one of the ways to
1133
00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:03,480
fix it is simply smudging the cutout a
1134
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:04,980
little bit towards the inside so right
1135
00:42:04,980 --> 00:42:07,020
here you we have the subject image and
1136
00:42:07,020 --> 00:42:08,940
on the right hand side of that this is
1137
00:42:08,940 --> 00:42:11,220
the cutout white are the areas which
1138
00:42:11,220 --> 00:42:13,560
show up black are the areas which don't
1139
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,480
show up and that is why you don't see
1140
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,280
the original background so these things
1141
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,859
right here are called masks and we're
1142
00:42:19,859 --> 00:42:21,660
gonna cover it later but right now think
1143
00:42:21,660 --> 00:42:24,000
of it like cut out where White shows up
1144
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,280
and black hides so now let's zoom in and
1145
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,619
we have to smudge the cut out inside and
1146
00:42:28,619 --> 00:42:30,119
for that we have to make sure that
1147
00:42:30,119 --> 00:42:32,700
cutout is selected not the main layer
1148
00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:35,099
cut out now since we have to smudge it
1149
00:42:35,099 --> 00:42:38,160
we have to use the smudge tool right
1150
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,339
here strength at 50 is fine let's make
1151
00:42:41,339 --> 00:42:43,560
the brush a little larger how are we
1152
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,780
changing the brush size bracket Keys
1153
00:42:45,780 --> 00:42:47,760
let's not forget it and simply push it
1154
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,040
down there you go fixed push it down
1155
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,560
right here push it down right here
1156
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,020
right here as well you see the edge just
1157
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:55,980
push
1158
00:42:55,980 --> 00:42:58,980
there you go so easy and it looks
1159
00:42:58,980 --> 00:43:00,960
fantastic now as we move towards the end
1160
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,760
of the lesson I want to congratulate you
1161
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,560
because now you know more Photoshop than
1162
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,720
most people and I'm so proud of you for
1163
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:08,520
taking the first step I just hope that
1164
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,920
by now the kingdom of photoshopia looks
1165
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,200
familiar to you and you know the lay of
1166
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,300
the land just as you saw Photoshop is
1167
00:43:15,300 --> 00:43:16,980
super easy Once you understand the
1168
00:43:16,980 --> 00:43:18,599
concepts and I'm gonna give you two
1169
00:43:18,599 --> 00:43:20,760
steps to mastering Photoshop step one
1170
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,359
understand the concepts Step 2 don't
1171
00:43:24,359 --> 00:43:26,940
memorize the steps once you get the
1172
00:43:26,940 --> 00:43:28,680
concepts you don't ever have to think
1173
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,720
about any steps you will do it yourself
1174
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:33,119
besides the concept there is one
1175
00:43:33,119 --> 00:43:35,940
ingredient to gain absolute Mastery of
1176
00:43:35,940 --> 00:43:37,859
Photoshop and that ingredient is
1177
00:43:37,859 --> 00:43:39,839
curiosity to get you started with being
1178
00:43:39,839 --> 00:43:41,280
curious let me give you a little
1179
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,960
homework that you can play with you will
1180
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,460
love this feature let's say you want to
1181
00:43:44,460 --> 00:43:46,260
remove something from a photo and in
1182
00:43:46,260 --> 00:43:48,060
this photo I'm going to remove this
1183
00:43:48,060 --> 00:43:49,880
person right here how do we do that
1184
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,579
select the object selection tool and
1185
00:43:53,579 --> 00:43:56,520
make sure object finder is turned on now
1186
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,380
when you hover through it it gives you
1187
00:43:58,380 --> 00:44:01,260
an indication of every object so as I
1188
00:44:01,260 --> 00:44:03,240
hover through this lady it highlights
1189
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:05,160
that you can click on it and simply
1190
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,319
press the shortcut in the later versions
1191
00:44:07,319 --> 00:44:09,599
of Photoshop and that is shift backspace
1192
00:44:09,599 --> 00:44:12,119
on Windows shift delete on a Mac and
1193
00:44:12,119 --> 00:44:14,819
once you do that there you go it's gone
1194
00:44:14,819 --> 00:44:17,579
if you want to remove her click on that
1195
00:44:17,579 --> 00:44:20,040
if shift backspace doesn't work you can
1196
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,380
right click on it and choose delete and
1197
00:44:22,380 --> 00:44:25,440
fill selection it also goes away didn't
1198
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,119
do a pretty good job so you can select
1199
00:44:27,119 --> 00:44:29,700
something like the lasso tool you can
1200
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:32,099
make a selection of the bad areas and
1201
00:44:32,099 --> 00:44:33,780
try to do it again right click on it and
1202
00:44:33,780 --> 00:44:36,060
choose delete and fill selection also
1203
00:44:36,060 --> 00:44:37,800
you can use a shortcut but this is a
1204
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,359
nice tool to play with if you still
1205
00:44:39,359 --> 00:44:41,040
