Adobe Photoshop Tutorial For Beginners
Adobe Photoshop Tutorial For Beginners
Video Source
hey what is going on on guys it is a girl
havoc here with an Adobe Photoshop
tutorial this may be the primary episode
of a mini basics series if i do not cover
something that you simply would really like to understand in
this video make certain to go away a comment
down below let me know what it's and
hopefully, I'll include it in my later
episodes i feel this may be a 2 or 3
part series and that i can do other programs
such as illustrator or Premiere Pro just
leave some suggestions down within the
comments this video are going to be divided into
five different sections the primary one
will be interphase i will be able to explain file
creation layout and controls in
Photoshop also as shapes the second
will be effected then I am going to be going
over images, during this, i will be able to explain how
to remove backgrounds the way to use the
lasso pen and brush tools also as
clipping masks the fourth are going to be
adjustment layers i will be able to usher in an
image and blend it into a replacement background
and last but not least i will be able to re-evaluate
fonts the way to find and download them as
well as basic effects to form your fonts
look a touch more professional let's
dive straight into the primary section of
this tutorial which is that the interface
will be going over file creation first
now there are two alternative ways to open
up files, we will either open up a picture
or a previous Photoshop file and therefore the
second way gives us a touch more
the freedom we will open up a blank canvas we
can change the dimensions and therefore the proportions
as well as other settings and i will be
going over that shortly but first, i would like
to go over the primary option which is
opening up a picture so we'll re-evaluate to
file and click on open and that i have som
images here during a folder on my desktop
and I'm just gonna plow ahead and open up
one of them you'll change the file name
so if you do not just like the file name that
you have already got you'll change it and
just open and it just about just
creates a canvas and therefore the size and
proportions of our original image it's
not an option
I prefer I prefer the second option we
go to file and click on new and that we can
change the name so I'm just getting to
name it tutorial we will change these
size of our blank canvas so we will
change the width also because the height
and the format so we will change pixels
to inches and tons of those different
options now I typically persist with
pixels and inches and it really depends
on what your end products are going to be if
you're planning on printing out whatever
you're making i might persist with inches
so it sticks with the proportions of
paper size if you're digitally uploading
this to YouTube or an internet site i might
stick with pixels and i am just gonna
stick with 1920 by 1080 this is often a
the typical format that i might make my
YouTube thumbnails and if you're
digitalizing this confirm you've got two
correct proportions now moving along
let's re-evaluate to resolution and so as
to understand what pixels per inch
really means let's plow ahead and zoom
into this photograph so each pixel are
each of those little squares and every of
these little squares feature a set color it
doesn't have a gradient if we would like an
image to blend colors blend a touch
easier and have a better resolution we
would want each of those squares to be
smaller so I typically find that 300
pixels per inch is ideal I typically
don't change the color mode but I do
change the bitrate to 16-bit just about
changes your color range and the way well
colors blend and your image 8-bit has
256 color ranges 16-bit has 4,000 and
32-bit i think has around 4 million
now the human eye can't detect the
difference between 16-bit to 32 bit but
file size does double once you change it
from 16-bit to 32-bit so 16-bit all th
way background contents I usually keep
it to white you'll change it supported
your preference
I don't really change any of those other
options and you only click OK which
will create your blank canvas so I'm
going to plow ahead and quickly show you
guys the way to use the form tool
as you'll see for many of those tools
on this toolbar
they all have arrows so if you click and
hold on one among them it'll show an
an array of various options for that
a single tool so if we plow ahead and
unclick while we're hovering over one among
these options it'll change it to
ellipse so if we would like to travel ahead and
click and hold we will change it to in
Eclipse now if we would like to undo a particular
action that we've done we will attend
control all Z which will just about
undo whatever we did before we will go
back to our toolbar click and hold and
change it to a rectangle so I'm getting to
go ahead and quickly just make a basic
rectangle I'm not gonna worry about the size
color any of that first and that i want to travel
over a number of the essential controls of
Photoshop if we would like to concentrate and see
this rectangle and a touch more detail
we can hold the alt button and just
scroll in with our mouse so I'm getting to
go ahead and make another rectangle
but this point i will be able to plow ahead and use
the quick command for that tool which is
you which will basically select the
rectangle tool I'm also getting to change
the color of this rectangle and that i can do
this by clicking on this squared right
down here and that we can basically change it
to whatever shade of color, we would like so we
can change it to blue we will change it
to green red whatever one so I'm just
going to plow ahead and click on red right
here click OK then just click and
drag and make our second rectangle and
I'm gonna plow ahead and click on on the move
tool right here so if we would like to put
our red rectangle below our black
rectangle we will just basically just
click and drag this to where it's
highlighted as you'll see right there
and just it's below we will also
change other options on this layers
panel we will change the opacity so if
we're clicked on a red rectangle we will
actually change the opacity so we will
change it to 50 we will change it to 11
so that it's barely noticeable but I'm
just getting to plow ahead and alter it
back to 100 so if we wanted to
edit the black rectangle but
affect the red one we will plow ahead and
lock the red rectangle but before we do
that we even have to rasterize these
layers because for now we cannot edit a
shape or a picture before we rasterize
that layer how does one do this you
basically attend the layer right click
and attend rasterize layer so now we will
edit this black rectangle and that we will do
that also only for this demonstration
for the second rectangle as i used to be saying
before we would like to lock this red
rectangle in order that we do not affect it we
can click thereon layer and click on lock
so now whatever we do to the present first
black rectangle won't affect the red
one so I'm just gonna quickly show you
guys with an eraser tool and i am going
to go ahead and race a part of the black
rectangle and as you'll see it isn't
affecting the red rectangle in the least if we
go ahead and unlock this and do an equivalent
thing as you'll see it affects both
rectangles it affects the red one as
well because the black one now the hide
function is pretty useful so for instance
we want to edit this corner of our red
rectangle but we do not want to affect
the black one also as we will not really
see what we're working with we will
actually hide this black rectangle by
clicking that button right here and
let's say we would like to travel ahead and erase
part of this red rectangle so if we go
ahead and lift a part of it then
unhide this black rectangle as you'll
see it didn't affect the black
rectangle so it is a very handy tool to
use if you're trying to edit layers that
are below everything else without having
to change the order of these layers if I
want to duplicate the red one I can
right click and just click duplicate
layer which will create a replica
of this and that we can just click and drag
that duplicate over right down to here let's
say we will rotate it by getting to edit
transform and rotate and that we can actually
change tons of various things during this
toolbar we will change it to skew so we
can actually skew this
it's quite 3d i assume so I'll just
click the move tool and click on apply and
we can return to edit transform rotate
and we can either rotate it by just
eyeballing or what's a far better option is
actually typing it in so for instance you
want to feature a 45-degree angle you'll
type that in and click on enter then
just click the move tool click apply so
there are two alternative ways that you simply
can change your properties of whatever
shape you've made the primary way that I
will show you doesn't work with
rasterized options but the other
does so bear with me
the first way obviously works with
unrest rised objects unrest Erised
shapes so I'm getting to plow ahead and
create a rectangle right here and if we
click right here we will actually change
it to a pre selection of various
options so we will change it to light
green we will change it to whatever we
really want
that's pretty selected if we would like a
little more options we will click right
here and it'll mention this handy
window that has the whole rainbow
entire array of colours so I'm just going
to go ahead and make it blue for instance
we want a touch more freedom in terms
of color so we would like a color gradient so
we can actually return to fill and that we
can change it to gradient so if we click
on one among these and clearly the black
one will change what's black so if we
double click we will change it to blue
let's say and that we can change the opposite
one we will actually also change the angle at
what this gradient is so we will change
it to 45 or we will change it to 225
respectively and go opposite directions
we can also do this by just clicking
this and it will enter the other
direction if that creates sense we will
also change other options so as you'll
see the gradient goes within the linear
fashion we will change it to radial we
can change it to angle there are a bunch
of different options that you simply can choose
it's really up to your preference but
I'm gonna persist with radial because I
think that appears pretty cool okay so
moving along let's attend stroke and this
pretty much is an overview of whatever
shape you've got so if you click on solid
color it'll create a solid outline of
whatever shape you've got and a bit like
fill you'll change that from solid to
gradient but I'm just getting to plow ahead
and do solid switch it to yellow you'll
change it to whatever color you would like as
well as whatever personalized color you
want also
so if i would like something a touch more
greyish I could do this and that i also can
change the dimensions of this outline so let's
say i would like it to be very thick so ten
points that's a really thick outline I can
also change the proportions of my
rectangles so I can change it to be a
two to at least one ratio so I can change it to
be for instance 400 by 200 and it'll
change the dimensions of my rectangle okay so
moving all along I'm gonna enter the
second section of this tutorial which
is effects the primary thing I'm really
gonna do is simply plow ahead and make a
blank slate so I'm just getting to go
ahead and delete all the present shapes
that I even have immediately and that i can do that
by clicking on the primary layer holding
the shift button then clicking on
the bottom layer right here in order that it
selects everything in between also
just right-click and delete layers so
we're all clean fresh start I'm getting to
go ahead and make a replacement rectangle so
I'll plow ahead and do the fast command
which is you which selects the
rectangle tool and I'll just click and
drag and just create
random rectangle plow ahead and click on on
the move tool and what we will do to
implement of these effects is we will go
over to the layers panel right click on
our layer and click on on blending options
and that will found out this window right
here have an entire lot of various
options that we will use the primary one
the top one bevel and emboss this beautiful
much if we click thereon this beautiful much
shows us a 3d effect and clearly it
looks like there is a little drop shadow
so it's like hypothetically there's
a Sun up here at angle 120 obviously
so we will change that to for instance if we
want it on the opposite side we will change
it at 60 in order that sunlight is coming in
through this manner we will also change a
lot of various options
so we will change the design from inner
bevel to outer bevel in order that quite
creates more sort of a drop shadow during a way
we can change tons of various options
and boss I typically persist with inner
bevel we will also change the technique
from smooth so if we would like something with
a little hard more hard edges i assume we
can change it to chisel hard and chisel
soft
I'll persist with chisel soft we will also
change the depth so how i assume
different the colours are what proportion in
contrast and you'll change the dimensions of
the bevel so we could make it really
wide or the thin so I'm just gonna go
ahead and make it pretty wide right
there so moving all along I'm gonna go
into the feel option right here we
click thereon there are a lot of different
patterns or textures that we will include
for our shapes there's actually how to
import a number of your textures also
there are tons of various presets so
we can actually change it to I mean
horizontal lands we will change it to
this one or this one for instance and that i
kind of like this one right here you'll
change the size so if we would like it to be
more fine we will do this moving along
let's attend stroke now stroke is simply an
outline we will change the dimensions so if we
want it to
very fine we will change it to 3 and
we can change the colour we will either
change it right here or if we would like a
gradient we will change that to make
int and if we double click and for instance
we want to vary the black area of our
gradient we will change that by double
clicking and for instance we would like to vary
it to red we will do this right there and
as you'll see it changes and that we can
just plow ahead and click on OK and for instance
you want the red on the opposite side you
can click reverse and it will reverse it
and we also can change that supported
angle so if we would like it to be at a 90
degree angle we will move this or we will
type it in definitely wish to re-evaluate
gradient overlay because this is often
probably the foremost important tool that
you can use now I typically don't change
the opacity but if you would like to that is
obviously an option but I'm gonna go
ahead and click on on the gradient right
here as an example for instance we would like to
click on this striped one right here it
creates a reasonably interesting color
overlay for instance you would like to make
your own preset you would like to make your
own gradient overlay that you simply can use in
future projects you'll actually do this
by clicking this new button and that we can
actually change the name so I can change
it to green flag as an example which
tells me that it's green striped
whatever we will plow ahead and click on new
and it creates it right here so we will
click backtrack of it and click on on thereto
there it's right there
and for instance we would like it to be a touch
more interesting than simply a gradient
just one color to the opposite so what we
can do is click anywhere to feature a stop
so we've to try to to that below this bar
right here and if we click thereon if we
double click on this color right here we
can change the colour so for instance we
want to vary it to blue click new and
we can slide this around so for instance we
want it to be a touch more closer to
white we will do this and increase the
black area right here we will also change
the transition which are these little
color midpoint scales right here so if
we want to
created to be a sudden transition from
blue to white we will do this plow ahead
and create an outer glow on this first
rectangle that we've right here on the
top so I'm getting to plow ahead and click on
on outer glow we will change the opacity
so we will change it to 100 but you
really can't see it immediately and the way to
change that's we will change the spread
and the size now the spread just about
will change the width of the last word
light i assume or glow and therefore the size will
translate to how wide the transition is
so if we just about bring this spread
to really low probably about 8 and that we
change the dimensions to pretty high I
typically find this to be pretty good
and I'm just getting to click OK for now
so the important difference is outer
glow is employed on objects with a dark
background whereas drop shadow if we go
to blending options and alter it to
drop shadow so I'm getting to unclick
outer glow and click on drop shadow
obviously you cannot see the drop shadow
in terms of black background alright
so let's get into the third topic of
this tutorial which is images I'll
basically be going over the most topic
and that is the way to remove backgrounds
from images and just about the way to use
various tools to your disposal lasso
polygonal magnetic also because the magic
wand tool and therefore the pin tool and I'll also
be going over clipping masks afterward in
this topic very first thing I'm really going
to do is plow ahead and cargo in a picture
and to try to to that I'm gonna go up to file
and place and we're gonna start out very
simple immediately and afterward work our
way into ablation cars and placing
them in several photos so i will be
going over that later but the primary
thing when you're loading during this
Photoshop file so I'm gonna click on the
move tool right here and place our image
and we can always move it around if
we're still within the move tool there is a
white background on this photo I'm gonna
quickly show you guys that so I'm going
go to the rectangle tool fill it with
black then I'm just getting to go
ahead and make a rectangle it
obviously goes over the photoshop sign
and click the move tool again and move
the rectangle below the brand so my first
task for now's to chop this Photoshop
logo from this white background and you
actually find quite few images on the
internet with white backgrounds since we
have straight lines and also an excellent
variation in color between the
background and what we're trying to chop
we're getting to be using the magic wand
tool so if you click and hold on this
tool right here and convey it right down to the
magic wand tool and basically the magic
wand tool is where Photoshop can detect
the difference between the background
and what you're trying to chop out so
obviously there is a clear distinction so
if I click anywhere on the white
background it'll just about detect
that area and that i can delete it but
obviously first we've to rasterize
this image a bit like any image it'll
not allow us to delete it until it's
rasterized so I'm getting to right click
rasterize layer' then just press
Delete and therefore the background is gone so
what we will do to deselect from this
election is simply ctrl D which
selection goes away and that i want to
quickly explain that the lasso tool and
the polygonal lasso tool are just about
not computer driven you yourself create
all the points whereas the pc
creates the points on the magic wand
tool also because the magnetic lasso tool
to start out we would like to form sure that
whatever we're selecting is in sight
because while you're using lasso tool
you cannot move around so lasso tool how
it works is you create some extent so you
click and you hold and wherever you progress
your mouse is where your journey will
basically go where the trail of your
selection will go simply create a
selection around this car it's not a
tool to use to make a variety that
is very precise obviously I could work
on it a touch longer
you want to form
sure that you simply connect the beginning and therefore the
end point in order that it creates a soli
selection now regardless of the selection is
is what you'll be deleting a bit like
the magic wand tool so if I right-click
I can select inverse so if I wanted to
delete all the background and just have
a car that's how i might roll in the hay now I
also have to rasterize this image
obviously to edit it so once I rasterize
it and press Delete it deletes
everything and that i just have a car the
lasso tool is extremely much different than
the polygonal lasso tool the polygonal
lasso tool is all straight lines as you
can see from the icon right here and
it's also a tool where you do not hold on
your mouse you only click and make
points so I'm just getting to plow ahead and
go round the car and take away the
background
[Music]
okay so I completed these selections so
I'm getting to once more right-click
select inverse and that i guess I even have to
rasterize it again because I undid that
and I just press Delete now i feel this
is a batch cleaner I did this very
quickly too so if I ctrl D to deselect
it that appears an entire lot cleaner the
pen tool is perhaps the simplest tool to
use on this program for ablation
backgrounds however it's one among the
most difficult tools to find out so i will be able to
go ahead and teach you guys the way to use
it real quick therefore the pen tool how it
works is you click and make points so
let's say I attempt to cut out this P with
the pen tool this is able to be very easy and
it also are going to be very effective so I
click I create some extent I click again it
creates a line and that i create
another point right here for instance so
obviously with our next point we would like to
create a curve to stipulate this P shape
how can we do this with the pen tool we
click and that we hold and as we hold we will
see this line over here the longer the
line we make the sharper the curve will
be the more extreme the curve are going to be
the shorter the road the more subtle the
more actually straight this curve will
be so you would like to form sure your line is
angled during a way that matches the outline
so i would like to angle it like this in order that
it is matching the angle of the P so w
obviously need to find yourself stretching this
line to make a more extreme curve
because when it's shorter distance its
more straight so if we move this line
create a touch longer it creates a
better curve I abandoning for instance we make
a mistake we will always plow ahead and do
ctrl Z and return that is the really
useful thing about this tool versus the
other ones is that you simply cannot return on
the other one so you can't undo alternatively
you undo all of your progress so I'm going
to go ahead and make that time once
again hold and make another outline
so for instance you are going from Acker
to a line general rule-of-thumb
whenever you're creating some extent you
want to believe what comes after the
point you're close to make so obviously
we want to make a line so we
want to make a straight point if that
makes sense how can we create a straight
point we just click
we don't click and hold because that's
for curved lines so if I just create a
point if I just click it creates a curve
before the purpose but after the purpose it
will be straight so if I click again it
creates a line like so
obviously we would like to attach the beginning
and the bottom and clearly once we see
that circle that indicates that the
points are going to be connected if we click so
we click the points are selected if we
right click make selection and that we can
actually create a feather so it might
create a sort of a fade around our
selection and just to point out you guys what
that is if I just plow ahead and sort 5
pixels click OK it creates the choice
and for instance i would like to delete
everything on the surface i do not want
to delete the P I can actually invert
the selection ctrl shift I now that I've
done that it'll select everything on
the outside as you'll see and that we can go
ahead and press Delete and it deletes
everything we will still see the black
background very faintly but it does
transition that so I'm getting to plow ahead
and do ctrl alt Z to travel back alright
click make selection put it at zero
click OK control shift I to pick
inverse and press Delete and as you'll
see it doesn't create that transition
all right so now that I got that outline
I'm gonna plow ahead and right click make
selection zero feather and control shift
I to make our selection confirm this
image is rasterized to right click
rasterize and press delete so now that
we have a solid car obviously you cannot
see it immediately but this is often an overlay
over our original image so I'm getting to
go ahead and ctrl D to deselect and that we
can actually move it with the move tool
so we've another car right here but
let's say we would like to maneuver it for instance
further back honestly and also we will
see there is a little sliver of thi
image still here so I can just quickly
use the polygon lasso tool and just
outline that and just delete it and
press ctrl D to deselect confirm that
car is chosen attend edit transform and
flip horizontal in order that it's facing the
other way and i am also getting to scale
this down so I'm getting to attend edit
transform and scale and it'll create
this box if I hover over this corner
button right here and that i click and hold
and move it it'll scale this car down
obviously once you don't hold the shift
button it doesn't keep the proportion
so holding the shift button
it keeps the proportions and that we can
scale it right down to for instance there and
press apply the way to do clipping masks
it's very simple tons of individuals attempt to
make it more stressful than it really
needs to be but what we do is we make a
selection a bit like we've done before so
I'm getting to use the pen tool to stipulate
this P for instance
right click make selection and click on OK
now when this is often highlighted rather than
pressing delete what we're gonna do is
go right down to the layer panel right here
and continue this add layer mask button
right here now that we've done that that
is creating a mask and it's preventing
us from editing anything outside of this
P and that we can see this because it creates
this layer type adjustment that's
associated with your Photoshop layer if
we attend our layer and choose the comb
tool and choose it right here
we'll still effect inside here but if we
go outside whoa check out that
we cannot affect anything outside of
these layers mask if we confirm that
we're selected on our brush tool and
we're selected on our layer mask right
here we are just about creating a
clipping mask so I can create a clipping
mask and just about edit this area out
so that you're just about unable to
edit inside this area and that i can always
change the dimensions a touch lower to make
this corner right here
but for instance hypothetically we wanted
to bring back maybe the s that we
deleted or even we would like to bring
something else back we will attend our
eraser tool switch it to maybe a touch
less so it is the hardness all the way
now I obviously also want to form sure
we're all the high to 100
opacity in order that we're bringing back the
entirety of the photo but wherever I
click I just about delete that clipping
mask let me attend our brush tool and attend
our actual layer the Photoshop layer so
that we will actually edit it confirm
we're on red right here now once I click
on it and switch the color we cannot
obviously, change inside the P but we will
actually change inside the S now and
just to easily show you guys how this
works I'm getting to up the dimensions all the
way up to 135 and clearly we will edit
whatever you would like inside that area
so I'm getting to plow ahead and just bring
in our clipping mask closer to the Sun
so that we've thought we'll be adding
highlights up here where the Sun is
directly hitting the car and shadows
where it's not confirmed we're on the black
let's say to make shadows and we'll
obviously want to lower our opacity down
to maybe 24 something a touch less and
lower our size right down to 6 and lower
hardness like so so i might probably go
ahead and make this complete bottom darker
than the remainder so i might go below this
pretty much this angle of this car go
ahead and shadow in everything right
here and you'll be more precise if you
won't actually need to be i assume I'm just
doing it really quickly just to point out you
guys the way to do that so that's darker
right there we will actually click on
this double arrow button to modify these
colors in order that the white is on top so
now we're using white to make
highlights and we'll create highlights
on the very edge so I'm gonna actually
want to quite just about hover right
between on the car and out of doors of the
car to make a highlight and that we can
also just size this a touch higher
sometimes a much bigger highlight will look a
little more realistic but just about
edit it to however you would like so if I move
that down that definitely does look a
lot different than our original car I
would say we bring this into this
photograph it's odd because it's all
foggy there's no presence of Sun during this image
so our objective is to just about make
this car slot in with the background once
again add a layer put it below the car
go to the paintbrush tool and it's 29
hardness so I'll just plow ahead and do
this real quick 24 opacity so I can
click on this double arrow right here
get it to black then we will just go
ahead and begin shading during a
little shadow right here and once more
keep adding different layers
okay so to start out I'm gonna plow ahead
and attend our layers panel down here and
Click on this circle right within the middle
and it shows us an array of various
adjustments that we will apply to our
the project i will be able to be going over a number of
these there are quite a few I can go
into more depth and re-evaluate a number of
here and it will plow ahead and begin
downloading a zipped folder so I'm gonna go
ahead and show and folder exit out of
here and X out of our Photoshop real
quick exit out of that real quick I'm
gonna plow ahead and drag this over to
here real quick exit out of that and
open this up and really all you've got to try to to is open up
this TrueType font file and once you
double-click it'll open up this window
and all you've got to try to to is press install
and it installs on your computer it's
as simple as that click on this sort
tool right here click anywhere on our
canvas and it will load this in what we
want to try to to is plow ahead and sink
right here and appearance for our font this gr
noir CH whatever that's i do not know if
I'm pronouncing it right but I'm gonna
click thereon I'm getting to lower this down
to I'm getting to lower this right down to maybe
200 and I'll just plow ahead and begin
typing so I'm just gonna type in havoc
and what we will do to edit this we will
go back to our type tool and highlight
our text once more and well obviously
we want to bring it right down to maybe a
hundred to vary the colour change the
border all of that very same thing that we
did before but it is a little different
with text obviously so we will attend
blending options I'm gonna first start
out with a stroke and typically with
text you would like a reasonably thin stroke so
I'm getting to change it to probably two
maybe even three for instance I'm also
going to plow ahead and put during a gradient
overlay and I'll change this in order that it
doesn't look as ridiculous as that and
I'm likely to travel ahead and
change it to yellow so it matches this
car I'm also getting to add a drop shadow
that's usually a reasonably good idea for
fonts I'm getting to lower the space
because we would like that drop shadow to be
as close as we will to the form but we
can plow ahead and spread it a touch
further in order that it quite creates an
actual outline right here we will also
change the dimensions if we would like to but I
typically wish to have a reasonably
distinctive outline for my fonts now the
last thing I'm getting to show you guys is
warp so attend edit transform warp and
this is a really handy tool to affect some
of your even your shapes you'll really
use these tools wherever you would like to but
I find it to be pretty cool for text but
you can just about move these points
wherever these points are you'll move
them however you would like so you'll
perhaps make your text very unique so I
will be uploading more often this video
was a touch different simply because it's
a very long tutorial and that i tried to form
it a touch in-depth let me know once
again what you'd wish to see within the
next video and thereupon being said it's
being a girl have acure see you guys in
