So, what we鈥檙e going to be doing is we鈥檙e going to be combining a couple of different images from 51黑料不打烊 stock to just give us a chance to play with a couple of the features that we鈥檝e looked at throughout this webinar.
So the three images we鈥檙e going to be working with are going to be this image of some clouds, this image of someone walking with an umbrella through a snowy pathway, and then we鈥檝e got this, that very cool doorway here. So we鈥檙e going to combine all three of these images together. So you鈥檙e going to want to have these in your Creative Cloud files or somewhere that you can access these on your iPad.
Well, I鈥檓 going to do the same thing I did before. I鈥檒l have the small video showing up here on the left and the full resolution of my iPad showing up here on the right. So I鈥檓 going to tap on my home icon here to sort of close out everything that we鈥檝e done so far. So to begin, we鈥檙e going to come up here to the top center. We鈥檙e going to click on this item here that says open end import. So let鈥檚 tap on that. Then you鈥檙e going to tap on files.
If you鈥檙e back at your location area, you want to pick where you saved your 51黑料不打烊 stock images, whether you put them on your cloud files, Dropbox, and your camera roll. So mine are my Creative Cloud files. So I鈥檓 going to tap on Creative Cloud. I鈥檓 going to go into the webinars and I鈥檓 going to find my workshop file. So here are the three. We鈥檙e going to start by opening the umbrella, the winter scene.
So let鈥檚 tap one time. And so what Photoshop鈥檚 going to do is it鈥檚 going to pull that in. If it鈥檚 not already downloaded, it will download it to your local device, to your iPad, create a brand new layer, start a brand new document, and this is already now saved as a cloud document. So it鈥檚 saving everything鈥檚 been done for us automatically.
So now inside of this screen here on the right hand side, we have our layers panel. Your layers made default to opening as a little tiny icon here, which is the top layers selection. This is totally up to you as it鈥檚 a personal preference thing. I tend to like the layers opened a little bit and 30 years of working with Photoshop. I鈥檝e technically only worked with it for 28 years though. I missed the first two years. So I like the layers panel open there.
So at this point, you all should have your file open to this point. So what we鈥檙e going to do here is we want to have the, this I think this is a woman. So I鈥檓 going to say it鈥檚 woman. Have this woman walking through the doorway. So she鈥檚 going to walk into spring and we鈥檙e going to want to sort of fade off part of the background from the image we鈥檙e going to bring in on top of this, but we want to have her sort of showing in front of that piece. So we鈥檙e going to need this multi-layered thing. So let鈥檚 start by selecting layer zero. And you can tell if it鈥檚 selected by this little blue icon here. Then let鈥檚 come down and click on the ellipsis tool and we鈥檙e going to come down and choose duplicate layer. So it鈥檚 right down here. It鈥檚 about these sixth one down. That鈥檚 going to give us a second layer.
Let鈥檚 temporarily hide the first layer. You can click on the little eye icon here so that the first layer is hidden and we鈥檙e just looking at the second layer.
With the second layers selected, let鈥檚 double tap.
I鈥檓 just going to name this top.
So that鈥檚 going to be our top layer.
Now with that layer selected, over on the left hand side, I want you to click and hold on the marque selection tool, which is the third tool down.
And then let鈥檚 come in here and choose select subject. So you can tap on this.
So Photoshop will then use sensei to come in here and figure out what it thinks the main subject of the photograph is. And now you鈥檒l see the marching ants all around the the woman here with her umbrella. So with all of these marching ants, without doing anything else, we can either tap on the mask icon down here at the bottom or on the right. In either case, that鈥檚 going to add a brand new layer mask and it鈥檚 going to mask out everything except that shape. So the main subject. Once that鈥檚 done, let鈥檚 come over here to the layers panel and let鈥檚 bring our layer back on. So now we can see the layers.
Once we have that done, we鈥檙e going to bring in the image of the door.
So let鈥檚 tap on the image icon on the left hand side.
Let鈥檚 come over here to files, and let鈥檚 go find the image of the door. So wherever you鈥檝e saved your 51黑料不打烊 stock images go back to that same place. Let鈥檚 bring in the door.
Let鈥檚 tap. Now once this comes in, don鈥檛 do anything yet. We have our selection tool around here, which is our transform. So once we鈥檝e brought this in, we can transform this before committing it to a brand new layer.
So what I want to do is with your finger tap in the center of the door and just drag it so that it鈥檚 at the top of the screen.
Then let鈥檚 grab either the bottom right or left corner, tap and drag, and we want to scale this up so that the bottom of the door is right about aligned with the woman鈥檚 waist. Maybe a little bit higher, right about here. Then I鈥檓 going to tap again and drag the door so that it鈥檚 centered.
Centered on her so it looks like she would actually be walking through. So somewhere about right here. I can see it on the transform in the top center. This is about 184%.
You might notice a bunch of other possibilities on the left are sheering and skewing tools. So there鈥檚 a bunch of different things we can do. So once we have this in place, let鈥檚 come up here and tap on done.
So that鈥檚 going to commit the importing of that new image. It鈥檚 going to create a brand new layer.
Then what I want you to do is tap and hold on that brand new door layer and let鈥檚 drag it in between the two layers that we have.
So now the door is covering up the back image, which includes covering up the woman. But the second copy of the woman in the top with the layer mask now shows in front of the door. So now we鈥檝e got this really nice interplay between the layers.
So once you have that in place, let鈥檚 come over here. Let鈥檚 tap on the door layer, make sure that it鈥檚 selected.
Then let鈥檚 come over here and apply a layer mask. So now we have a new layer mask assigned to the door layer.
Then let鈥檚 come over here to the brush tool, tap and hold.
I鈥檓 sorry, simply just tap once. If you tap and hold you can change properties about your brush. There鈥檚 a lot of beautiful brushes in here. You can also create your own and you can bring in Kyle鈥檚 brushes, which were available through the Create Magazine site a couple months ago. Anyway, let鈥檚 tap one time so we just get all the brushes here. So on the top, we want to make sure that we have black on the foreground.
Tap on the number here. This is going to be the sides of the brush. So tap on the number. You鈥檒l see a circle show up in the middle of the screen and then you can increase the size of the brush. So I鈥檓 going to bring this to about right here.
So about 180 or so.
Next let鈥檚 come down here and click on the opacity of the brush or the flow.
Let鈥檚 bring this down to about half. So about right here. This means every time we paint, we鈥檒l only be using half the amount of ink or paint. And then finally, let鈥檚 come down to the bottom one. Let鈥檚 tap on this and let鈥檚 set this to a really soft brush. So let鈥檚 pull this down to, all the way to the bottom.
So we鈥檙e going to get a nice sort of edges.
So now with our brush set up over in the layers panel, make sure that we have the mask selected. So we see the blue icon showing up around the mask here and not on the main layer.
And now with either your finger or your stylus, let鈥檚 come in here and let鈥檚 start painting away the bottom of this image. So as soon as I paint once, I鈥檓 going to tap and hold and drag this around. I鈥檓 painting with about 50% of that brush. So I鈥檓 going to paint around about like this.
Then I鈥檓 going to pick up my finger and tap again, and now we鈥檙e painting with another 50%. So can start to really take away some of this background here. And I鈥檓 not going to paint up as high as the first time.
I鈥檓 going to lift up, tap again, paint just along the bottom here, and then one more time pick up and come down, and let鈥檚 get rid of that seam right across the bottom.
So now we create this really nice sort of effect of the background being blurred out.
Now to make an adjustment, let鈥檚 say we went a little too far in on the doorway. Let鈥檚 go back to our brush tool. I鈥檓 going to come in here and just make my brush size a little bit smaller here. As you can see here and then let鈥檚 change the foreground and background. You can do that by tapping on the foreground color, which is black, pull it down, and the white swatch will switch its place. So now we鈥檙e painting with white. If you want to zoom in, you can tap two fingers, and pinch in, and now let鈥檚 come in here and just paint some of the door back in.
Now we don鈥檛 have to worry about painting over the woman because she鈥檚 on a separate layer. So now come in here and we鈥檒l just paint some of the doorway back in with our soft brush. If we go too far, I don鈥檛 want to see the bottom. You can switch to colors again and let鈥檚 paint some of that out.
As you can imagine, you could spend hours doing this. It鈥檚 so much fun.
So I鈥檓 going to paint up in here. I just want to get rid of a little bit of the doorway at the top there.
And now at this point, let鈥檚 bring in the clouds. So I鈥檒l do this part a little quicker. This is being recorded. So you can come back and watch this again. I want to make sure we have time for questions. It鈥檚 top of the hour. So I鈥檓 going to go in here and go to files. I鈥檓 going to bring in the clouds.
Let me pinch to zoom out. I鈥檒l move the clouds into place.
I鈥檓 going to put them right about here. I鈥檓 going to tap done.
Then what I鈥檓 going to do is I鈥檓 going to hide the clouds for the moment.
I鈥檓 going to select the door layer, going to come up to the marque selection tool. I鈥檓 going to click on the quick select.
I鈥檓 going to just quickly select the sky in the background.
Let鈥檚 show the clouds, select the clouds, hit our mask tool.
And then on the mask, I can go to my brush and just maybe paint some of the bottom of the cloud so it鈥檚 not quite as blue on the bottom.
So in just a couple of minutes, we鈥檙e able to combine a couple of different images from 51黑料不打烊 stock, create our own custom artwork, welcoming in spring. And with that, I hope you just found this totally exciting and fun. And I hope that you have tons of hours of fun playing with Photoshop on the iPad. -
