Hey! My name is Mac and I love to create!

As a self-taught digital artist, I have always been drawn to the limitless potential of creating art using technology. I have spent countless hours learning and perfecting my craft, and I am constantly experimenting with new techniques and software to push the boundaries of what is possible. My art is inspired by my love for portrait, as well as my passion for science fiction and fantasy. I hope to use my art to transport people to new worlds and to inspire them to think outside of the box.

But I still remember how it felt in the beginning...

 Which is the reason why i started teaching to help beginner artist to overcome their horrible beginning.

1. Intro: Manipulation. It's one of the train notes. And in one, and I see a lot of adsorb made by adzes reach a really amazing summer landscapes, summer poetry. They are really, really amazing. And expressed in spite of these is that you can split them manipulation with 3D. You can also mixed with them pollution, painting. And now with this, it is very easy for allergies who have less idea about benzene to create ads work easily without stressing by making use of servers, dogs, images, you can create a natural we ease with Photoshop or any other program which you are convenient. But most people make use of Photoshop. I'm like, I'm a digital artist and illustrator. I've been at Forever naive. But in this period, I've done lots of ads, including portraits, stylized portraits, illustrations, and photo manipulation. In this course, I am going to be giving you the basics of photo manipulation with photo manipulation, and you can create games and movies. You can also use this for personnel to predict. You will learn how to manage several images into one color correction, matching of flights, license, and color grading. You also learned how to export videos from Photoshop and give it a finite search in premium, I'm really excited to meet and discuss, put down for that. Let's get into Photoshop and my family. 2. Introduction To Photoshop: In this lesson, we are going to take a basic introduction to Photoshop. When you open Photoshop for the first time, this is the interference you are going to get. And if you are connected to the network, you are going to get some instructions of how you can get tutorials to get started with Photoshop. For now, I'm disconnected from the Internet. And right here you can see a lot of the humane on my Photoshop interface. This is our decided current document I've worked on recently. That's why you're seeing all these right here. If you just open Photoshop for the first step, you wouldn't be getting anything like this you address go into get a blank interface for you to create a new document. You just want to go over to this button right here and I say create, or you can go over to a new, when you click on the Create New or you go over are new, this new document window, it's going to open up for you. From here you can select any document says you wanted to make use of. If we wanted to make use of many transit by 1080, you can go over in the film and video and you are going to get different kinds of resolution. You want to use it. But if you don't want to make use of any of the present available in this new document window, you can come over to the red part here and just impute any value which you want to make yourself right here. And that is going to create the document for you. We'll go back to my recent and click on the 19th, eight by 108 C, because the resolution is set to 600, walk over the resolution in the document you create, it's going to retain a higher preexisting of fear at work. Now it's going to make your artwork look so much good and nice. Now you need to keep this in mind. Go and hire with your resolution depend on the kind of system you are making yourself. And secondly, it depends on the kind of document you wanted to create. I just make just like making use of the 600 as my own resolution. You can make use of 300 as the default, or you can even go lower. We are making use of 1 fifth. Now, if you wanted to save your work for the web, you can make yourself 72 or 150. And if you wanted to print, you can make use of 300 as the resolution where I just choose to go higher course, I want my document to be of high quality. Now once you are done with already said it's coming over to this spot right here where we have the Brownguard content. You can change this right here. It can go into Photoshop and also change that. But if you wanted to change the color to any color you want, you can just click on this spot and select any color from here. And it's going to change it at the multiscale for you. But I'm going to leave it to white because I can change it right inside of Photoshop and coming over to the color profile. This is something we need to work on separately. It needs to go on and learn a lot about his color profile before you go in and start working. But for now, I'm going to stick to the sRGB present right here, and a big aspect ratio, I'm going to set that squared. Once you're done with all the settings, click on Create, and that is going to take you into Photoshop. My interface might be looking a little bit different from yours. Well, it's nuts and difficult right here. And notice Russia, you can just drag around and you can get this kind of workspace I am using. Now right here I have my brush brand new. I just wanted to be easy for me to assess my brush brand name by default, the two bytes always at the left part of Photoshop workspace. But my habit at a right, but just to make it easy for me to access it whenever I just move my hand, I can easily assess the tools right here because I'm right-handed user. And if you are left-handed users, you can also move that to the left or leave it to the left by the foot. Right here I have my globe plugin, which is not available in Photoshop, and this doesn't really matter. You can make it vertical up. You got available in Photoshop or you feel like you don't need a color picker since you are not painting motion. Right here I have my Layers panel, which is very important. These are the ten Julie want to keep in your Photoshop workspace. All right. Here we have the windows wherever document you created in Photoshop, which is given to be arranged right here. So let's say I go over to File New and I create a new document and I hit on Create. You can see right here that we have under that document entitled to untitled one. When I click on untitled one is green and taken up bugs on Title One. And when I click on title too, it's going to take more bucks on tight. So how can you know you document that has been selected at the moment? When you look, I don't dare to go on it a little bit grayed out. Haven't default. Colo reads the empty bar right here. This is telling you that for a moment on tattooed one is not selected. But when I click on on tight should warn. You can see now that on T22 it's now having the same color as the empty bar right here. So you need to keep that in my array here we have the default windows which we can use to assess one thing or do add up amir phase, which you can use to manage your files. Right here at this your current document add some things and Sue on, work on Image Adjustment and so on. Layers type select few that 3D view plugins and Windows. Windows and help. My final day may not making use of all these as you keep going at the moment. It depends on the kind of work you are working in that it's really going to help you decide if you want to make use of all these tabs right here, or you don't want to make use of any of those steps. Now coming over to the main part of Photoshop is all about customizing your worst ways to fit how you work. Now, this is how I walk. My workspace is looking like this. I always make use of the color picker look whenever I paint the Layers panel, which is important, and brush bundle, these are the themes I use mostly whenever I make use of Photoshop. So let's say you want a different workspace. So you can go over to Workspace and you can make use of Android works. We already have a workspace saved here. So let's quickly check that this is the workspace I have right here. Have the workspace. Now, if I wanted agenda works with I can go over to Workspace and click on motion. Now you can see that workspace is going to change. Everything I have before. It's no longer available yet except of the layer panel, the toolbar right here. Now what if you don't need anything from me or you can just go over to your tab right here. When you click and hold and you left-click, you can drag it out and if you don't need it, you can just close it. If you need something which you want to add to this part. So let's go over to Window and let's see we need the history panel. We can click on the history of binding energy is going to open up the history panel right here. But if you don't want the history panel to be at this place, you can just click and drag it out for a moment. Click and drag it and move it up here to the moment you see the blue highlight. And you can release the left click on your mouse and you are going to have the history panel right there. So if you don't read your workspace and you want to save it for next time you can go over to Windows workspace and then new workspace. This window is going to open up that in the name we wanted to use in seven-year workspace and hit on Save once the heat on. When you go over to Windows Workspace. And right here at the top, you are going to see your current workspace, which we just created and saved in Photoshop. We'll go back to my default workspace that I'm using. And I can just drag this to the left and adjust it so that it's going to be smaller as it is before. Well, this is just a basic introduction to Photoshop. You can go in and practice more with Photoshop. The moment you keep working with Photoshop and lemon, you go into a lot of the workspace. See you guys in the next lesson. 3. Layer Mask: One thing we are going to use invoiced in this class is the layer mask. Layer mask in Photoshop, you can use it to hide and to reverse some certain part of your picture. Now we have this picture right here. If I wanted to take away this bottom part of it, I don't want to delete it. Now there are two ways to do that. I can go over to my toolbar and select the results. From here. I've selected the results to come down to respond. And I can erase right here. Now what is going on right here. There is no background rates here. And my foot background color, it sets to this brown that I have red hair. That's why as I'm erasing, it is giving me this color right here. I'm going to undo that, create an empty layer, unlock the background, and drag it blue. And now when I click, when I erase again, you wouldn't be able to get that background. Now this is it. I make use of the results who to erase this part as I keep working, there is no way I can bring this, but there is no way I can do this with the results to accept and make use of the contributor Z on my keyboard to bring back that pleased that I have deleted, what would a layer mask will be able to bring back the areas which will delete. Now to make use of this layer mask, you just have to select that layer which you want to apply. The layer mask, you go down to the bottom part of your screen. And this icon you have right here is the Layer Mask icon. Click on that and it's going to add a layer marks to these layouts for you. Now right here, when you look at the colors, we have rates that you can now see by default it's black and white. Let's take a look at what is going on right here. So if I go back to this, but look at this part right now you can see that we have a blue light selection around our layer mask. This is telling us that we have our layer mask selected at this moment, if I click on the layer, you can see now that will have the layer itself selected. When I go back to this part, you can see that will help the previous color I have before. But when I select the layer mask right here, we only have the black and white. What does this mean? This is telling us that whenever we have the layer mask selected, we are only permitted to work with two colors, which is just the black and the white. Now, why do we, why is it that we have worked with only these two color? Now is that wherever the layer mask has been selected, the black hides and white, white reversed. Take a look at this layer, this layer and add a layer marks to this layer and the layer mask scholar, it's white and everything we have on our document, it's still available. We can see everything right here. But a moment I switch the foreground color to black. And with brush to select it, I'll go over and select a brush to come down to this file. I start painting. You can see though we are taken away this area. This is exactly what we did with the results. But don't get too comfortable because there is a difference between making use of this method and making use of the ways that to take a look at this now we have arisen with a brush to end before were actually originally resides. Now, what's the difference of making use this book, we can use this brush too alongside Layer Mask and making use of the Eraser tool. Like I told you before, the black hides whenever we have the layer mask and white reviews, Whenever we have the layer mask. During the process of doing this, make sure that you have your Layer Mask selected. As you can see right here, I have my layer mask selected. The moment I switch back to white and come down to this area which I have erased and start painting again. You can see that there is an erase, it's coming back. Now you understand the concept why it is called Alia Muslim. Think of this when you have a mask in reality, like let's leave Photoshop for a moment. When you have a mask on your face. The places you use that markets cover wherever people wouldn't be able to see that please use the March cover, but please you did not use that much to cover. Those are the places people are going to see. This is just exactly how it is with the layer mask available in Photoshop. Whenever you are trying to forget the concept of the layer marching, just remember these and you will able to understand, I remember the layer mask. Now this is Joseph basic use of the layer mass. We have two type of layer mask available in Photoshop. We have the black layer mask and we have the white layer mask. Right now we have the black layer mask. Whereas the difference between the black layer mask and do white layer mask, the black layer mask automatically hide everything on our document. A wide layer masks give us the option to hide some areas of our ads work or a document we are currently working on at that moment, I go over to this place again and I switch the foreground color to black again. If I paint, you can see that the area is, I am painting areas that have been hidden because we have the wet leiomyomas gradient. Now looking at a layer masks, you can see that on the layer mask, this part that we have black at a pad that are now being reviewed right here from Mia, you can also see the visual representation that on this layer mask without even looking on our document itself. You can see it right here that the bottom part of a document, it's hidden and why the top part of our document, it's reviewed. So now if I go back again and paint with white, everything is going to comeback. Now let's take a look at the black layer mask. To the layer miles, you can just go over to the layer mask, click and drag and drop it on the Delete icon. And you are going to get this pop up right here. And if you don't want it, if it's very annoying to you, you can just check on this little square area. Don't show this again, but checking these, it's not really important. Whereas in my found that, that you are deleting the layer mask that you actually need to have in this option is going to help you undo that instantly or you can actually make use of the country Z. Well, I'm just going to hit on applied because I wanted to delete that mask. Now to add the black layer mask to this layer, you hold down the Alt key on your keyboard and click on it. It's going to add a black layer mask to your layer, looking at his spot now you can see that all the hoop picture has disappeared. What happened is still the concept of the layer mask, black hides, and white review. We have the black layer mask gradient instead of first to go in and start painting some setting areas with black which we want to hide. This is going to help her is that is if we want to hide everything instantly on that particular layer, we can hide everything instantly by just applying the black layer mask. What if we wanted to start revealing some certain areas of our layer? The symptom apply just measured, they are foreground color is set to white. Go over to your document and then start painting. You are going to review the areas that you want to. Make sure we're doing this. You have your Layer Mask, selected notes, your layer. Let me show you where it is going to happen when you have your layer selected. If I have the layer selected, take a look at it, but the color has changed dramatically. Well, there's no way we are looking up to right now. When I go over and paint, you can see instead of erasing, I am painting or my picture, this is where you need to have in mind whenever you are making use of the layer mask and you wanted to hide some certain areas with a layer mask, make sure that the layer mask selected at this moment. Now you can really see what is happening depending on what you want to do at that particular moment, it's you determine the kind of layer MySQL to make use of in order to theme. You can also invite this layer mask right here. Now let's say we have this part being rewarded for a moment and we have the bottom, but not being rewarded when we select the layer mask and hit Control I on our keyboard, you can see that it magically reveal the bottom part and hide the top by DCT or the shortcut for you to quickly switch between the two sides of your picture, you just need to keep all this in mind. These are the common functions with a Layer Mask, which will find that you are going to be using and what we'll be using in this class. Now I want you to understand symptoms. There are other things added to this layer mask auction, but won't be making use of them in this tutorial, since we are only composites in a node trained to erase a full background from a picture. That is just what we are going to be doing in this class. So this is just the basics of how you can make use of the layer mask. And I hope this really gives you a full understanding of how the layer mask work and how you can make use of this layer mask in your composites and see you guys in the next lesson. 4. Smart Object: In this lesson, we're going to walk in with Smart Object. Now, Smart Object in Photoshop is a container that help us to stack multiple effect onto one particular layer, giving us the ability to go back and edit those effects. And also smart object is a container that helps us to stack multiple layers into one. Also, given us the ability to go in and edit those layers. Now, I give it to the definition of smart object. The first one is Smart Object is a container that helpers to stack multiple layers of effects, given us the ability to go back and edit those effects. And the second one is a smart object, is a container that helpers to stack multiple layers, giving us the ability to go back and edit directly as well. Let's take a look at the first one. For you to get the smart object. You just need to go over to your layer, right-click and go over and skirts you find the option that I say Convert to Smart Object. Click on that and it's going to create a smart object for you. When you look at this part right here, you can see that we have a little icon right here. Telenor's now that our, our layer, it's now a Smart object. Keep that in mind. Whenever you're layer is a smart object, you are going to get this little icon right here. Now how do we understand the definition of the smart object? For us to understand the first definition that says Smart Object layer is a container that help us to stack multiple effects on a particularly given us the ability to adult dose effect lift that. Let's take a look at it. So let's say I go over to Filter and I scroll all the way down to blow layers, make use of Gaussian blur for a moment and I hit on the Gaussian blur. Instead of this Gaussian blur window, Let's say I go over to the radius and the radius is something like this later say I blew out my photo. It doesn't really matter. This is actually a mistake. Yeah, it is a mistake. Alright, so I'm gonna hit on, okay. But before I hit on, okay, I wanted you to take a look at something on the smart object layer. Look at smart object, they are very well. You can see that throughout the whole smart object layer, looking at this, but looking at layer as the WHO, we only have icon right here. But on the other parts of this layer, we don't have any icon on this layer. So take note of that. Now, I will go back to Filter and scroll all the way down to Blur and then Gaussian blur. Instead of regarding Bloom does, is going to increase it in a way that is truly going to blew out the details of my picture. Well, we are going to fix that later. I'm going to hit on, okay. Now, coming back to this layer itself, look at this spot. See that we'll have a little icon right here. Now what is this icon doing? This icon is actually telling us that we have a few that are attached to this layer, which we can go back to edit. Now, if we click on this drop-down menu right here, we'll click on this. You can see that we have a smart view that anorexia, we have the Gaussian blur right there. I totally blew out the theories of my picture. If I want to adjust this back, I can just come down to this spot and double-click on this Gaussian blur effect I have right here. Now you can see the window right here, the Gaussian blur and he seemed valid data apply. Now I can reduce these to devalue, which is not go into the blew out the details of my picture. And now I can hit on, okay, so right here you can see that will have the option of edits in our field that well, let me show you how this works. So let's make a duplicate of this layer by dragging and dropping right here. And this is going to make a duplicate of layer we have. I'm going to turn off this layer for a moment, delete these smart filter that I have right there. And I'm going to right-click and locate the option that see Rasterize Layer want to take this layer away from being a smart object. Now take a look at these two layers. This is a smart object, and this is not a smart object. You can actually see the difference right here we have the icon over Smart Objects showing or is there a year, these layers as smart object right here, we don't have that icon of a smart object, which is Telenor's that this layer is just arrest that layer. Alright, so now let's repeat this same process by going over to Filter Blur, Gaussian Blur. And I'm going to take this old way up like I did before. Right here. I don't have any D2 on my picture. Looking at this layer, you can see that that little icon we have right here when we apply the Gatlinburg fleet Gaussian blur filter. It's no longer available here. These are the things you need to keep in mind when working with a Smart Object layer, you will be able to edit your filter. And when working with a raster layer, you wouldn't be able to edit any field that you apply on that layer. This is the first definition, that's it. A Smart Object is a container that help us to start multiple filters until one layer giving us the ability to edit these fields. That lithium-ion, I'm going to delete this layer because I no longer needed, and I'm going to review this layer. This is the mostly you can go back and delete the few that if you don't need to feel that and of course I don't need the Gaussian blur filter. I'm going to click drag and delete. And another function of the Smart Object in Photoshop, it helps us to preserve the quality of our food. So let's say I make a duplicate of this. Now this might not really be that risible, but what I want you to do is for you to take time and practice on these to see how it works. And I'm going to right-click on this layer and go back and rasterize this layer. I'm going to read on Control C on my keyboard. To transform this layer. I'm going to scale it down just like this. Click on Okay, and I'm gonna hide this layer for a moment, and I'm going to hit on Control C again. And scale this layer. Just like this, I hate on, Okay. Now you can see what happened. You can see that will launch the details of this layer is just like we apply the Gaussian blur. Few of the end of which we did not apply the Gaussian blur filter to this layer. Alright, so let's hide this layer unless review this blue layer and I'm going to select Dahlia. Don't contribute C, scale it down to the smallest, even more than what I secured the previously had done before. Okay. Hint or Control T again, and I'm going to scale it up. J are the same size hidden. Okay? Now you can see the difference. On this one. We have the same quality, white on this one will last the quality of our pictures. So these are the things you need to keep in mind. This is the third years of the smart object inside of Photoshop. I'm going to drag and delete this layer heading over to the last one of this smart object right here. Let's say I want to erase something from this picture and I don't want to do it right here. I wanted to add details in a way that I wish they have some other options to do some editing radio. Let's take a look at this. Let's say I go over to Filter applied legacy I applying noise filter right here. Should I make use of, Let's say I sharpen these ads well, by making use of the high-pass filter, I shepherd the document and I'm just gonna leave it this way so that we can see where it's going on right here I'm gonna hit, okay, right here, I have the sharpen right here. Let's say I want to change something right here. I just want to delete this photo right here without affecting this filter right here, I can just double-click on the smart object. I went, I double-click, it's going to open a new document from me or let me just see. I don't want to delete anything from me. I just want to take away these limbs, right yet, when I double-click, it's going to open a new document for me. We'll look at is the brighter you can see they will have layer 0, PSB. Now, this new document, it's also working together with his previous document that will have this new document is a smart object. We have right here. Wherever edits we do right here. And civic, it is going to affect this current document we are working on. But the only difference is that it won't be affecting these effects we have right here because we have it as a smart object. Now when I go back to this, but NIGMS, always this name virus making use of the regular few are making, is every Content Aware few. Narrow way and I repeat the same process right here. Making use of the Content Aware few. Alright, This is fine. It doesn't really matter. I hit control D to deselect. When I go over to this document right here, you can see that this is still remaining, right? Okay, so how can we make this thing we just do right here, take effect in this document to do that, just go back to this document and go over Phi and hit on Save. That is all you need to do. You just need to do now is to go back into the previous document right here. You can see that we have these names are no longer there, but the effect is the lesson. We want to apply another effect into this document. I don't know that picture into this current layout we have right here. So let's close this one before one and another picture into it. You can just double-click on that. And right here I can create new layers. And instead of this layer, I'm just going to add maybe a little tags. I'm just going to add Lisa. Maybe I'm really going to show up. It on, Okay, here on Control C to transform. And I'm going to drag it and trust for me to something like this. Okay, that is fine. And now I can hit on V, hold on the Alt key on my keyboard. Click and drag to duplicate all these layers just like that. I'm just showing you how we can start multiple layers into our smart object and also have the ability to edit odors layers. Right here we have about 123456 layers right here. So go over again phi and hit on Save. Now go back to the previous document where you have it right here you can see that we have Photoshop, photoshop, photoshop, photoshop in the previous document, any previous picture we have right here, URL is on one layer, but behind this smart object, we have six layers. This is the ability of the Smart Object, giving us the ability to stack multiple layers into one layer. And also at the, let me show you everything. This works together. So if I go over to this part, you can see that this layer is in raster mood. When I scale this down, it is going to affect the quality. But right here, if I scale, it wouldn't affect the quality. But we have a raster picture inside here, right here, we have the layer as a smart object. Now if I scale everything down, it shouldn't affect the quality. Okay, so let me quickly delete this right here and go back into this layer, select one of the texts layer. I'm just going to right-click on this one and hit unrest that rise. And I'm going to try to locate these layer, that is a layer right there. So I'm gonna hold down Control C to scale it down. Okay? Control C and scaling up very well on, Okay. Now you can see that will lower the quality of this. I'm going to go over Phi and then going back into the previous document, you can see now they will lose the quality wherever he didn't control C. And scale this down. You don't know, conjured seed and scale these up. We did not lose any quality. So now you can take a look at that right here. We no longer need this because it's really crazy, right? And I'm just going to drag and delete it. And they don't control urge to go back into the previous document, to come back into this previous document. Now we can come down to this bar and apply individual field that has the oldest layers. But we want the filters affect every layer inside of these. By now you can go in and instead of blend this 11, but it's gonna take a lot of work if everything is arranged properly and you want to make it a width in the same document, you can just convert that into a smart object as well. We have right here. Then go over to feel that and apply any kind of fields that you want to apply, any it is going to affect everything right here. Now you have every option stack into one layer. For Branca, you can resize this layer without losing its quality. You can also a deed, though, which apply to all these five layers right here. Lastly, you can also modify any single one of these layers you have right here. Let's say I just want this to be only photo. I don't want Photoshop and complete heat on. Okay, here uncontrolled S and go back inside. And now we have the photo, the same Gaussian blur has been applied right there. And we'll have orderly us right there. And I can double-click and take the Gaussian blurred down here on okay. Area. We have everything, yes. So this is just the use of the Smart Object. Smart object is really helpful right inside of Photoshop. And that brings us to the end of this lesson and see you guys in the next lesson. 5. Assembling Your Stock: In this lesson, we're going to start our stock on our document. Now, this order Stokes, we are going to be making use. There is actually one that is missing a video file. I couldn't get that, but before the ending of the whole lessons, I will be able to get that this is other VDD. I was looking up to making a cornerstone dance, but I finally got it Then album making use of all these added Stokes, we are going to be making result. Well, we might not be making use of the whole stock, but we are going to be making use of, of the stocks, right? Yet the ones which we can make use of, we are going to make use of them. Now it is time for us to start assembling our Stokes out together to form what we want to create like after you've seen before, while we are creating a JD from a picture which I see and I really love it and I want to create something like that in a different way, but Justice shoot the way I want it to be. This can be a drain which are liked. It really depends on what you want to create. Okay, So we have everything right here. So I'm gonna start with the sudo for a moment and I'm just going to erase the background from the studio and then try to arrange everything in one of that d or minimize these and just drag the Sudhir into Photoshop, drag and drop it right here. We have it right there, right here. This is just what we have now. And I really don't want to spend much time with this because this is going to be small in our ads. To go over to the two and select the Lasso tool to select the magic wand to right here. And I'm going to make use of the option that say Select Subject. We're going to click on that and see what Photoshop can actually do for us by helping me to select a subject. Alright, this is, It's nice that it gives me a nice tight right here. I think this is really fun for me and there is nothing I really want to select right here. This is good, really good. I love these. I really loved this. All I'm just going to do right now, I will go into the Select and Mask option right here. And I am just going to add a little bit of smoothing or jurist lesson one. And I'm going to come down to the federal notion and yours add in 0 points phi. And that is the really fine. And I will scroll all the way down to the output selection. Click on this menu, and I am going into new layer with a Layer Mask. I'm going to click on that and click on, Okay, now this is going to create a new layer first with a layer mask and everything will be taken away just like the background. For a moment, I'm going to disable this layer mask by holding down Shift and click on Layer Mask. I just wanted to verify if I have everything completed on our subject. Yeah, everything is really complete on subjects. I'm going to and it wouldn't lay out my square. But we have this laser issue right here, but that is really fine. I'm just going to open up the brush. We are going to be using a nurse. You are going to be getting loose brush in the project file. I'm just going to select the hard round brush right here and switch my foreground color to black and just paint over this part to take it away. All right, this is fine. Right? Now I'm just going to right-click and convert this layer into a Smart Object. Alright, this is ready. I can now select the move to drag these into the current document I am working on. All right, we have this right here and I can scale this down with ease because even if I scale it up later on, I will be able to, to scale it back or without losing any quality course it's already on smart objects. I'm going to click on Okay, heat uncontrol plus 0 to fit to screen. The first thing I am going to do is to go over two phi and heat on Save. I'm going to click on Save. And I'm just going to save it on my desktop for now. Save it on my desktop for now. And I'm just going to type in the name it with DICOM. Dicom. Really OK. Computer. Okay, I'm going to hit Save inherent oaky. We have it right here. Next thing I wanted to input, it's the it's the grass itself. So I'm just going to drag this in and drop it right here. I'm gonna drag and drop it right here. This is here. This is a little bit cool. Really going to drip it, scale it up to fit in. I'm going to scale it up to fit in. This is a little bit okay. And just drag it down a bit. I don't need that for a moment, so I'm just going to keep it that we go back into. I have this dog food. Right now. I can drag these two into Photoshop. As I said that I can see how I can make it a little Dale. Secure resorb. Clinical nurses carries OK. Click OK. I'm going gonna reduce the opacity of this one. Reduce the opacity of this one. I'm just going to see how they can actually match in together less than we saw for now. This is where we have blood. I'm going to hide this role and reveal this layer, the subject. Going to drag this down a little bit. All right, so I think I'm ready to make this. Now. I'm going to grab the Quick Selection Tool right here. And I'm just going to increase the size of the Roche. I'm just going to make our selection of this file. I just need only the grass the grass alone. All right, this is fine. And I'm going to add a layer marks that he didn't Control I to invert and select the grass. I'm going to repeat the same process on this one high discern the brightly apart city. Make a selection of just Despite. To subtract from your selection, you can hold down Alt and neat, and it's going to help subtract from a selection. The selection again. Now I can add a layer mask can also invert that. We have these two right here. I'm going to drag this down a bit, so let's see how it can fit in. So we have some irregularities right here, like all these posts here. Alright, so with the layer mask selected, I'm gonna hit the B key on my keyboard. Just select the brush tool and select Layer mice. And I'm just going to be raised. Spots that I don't need. That is fine. I know where I still have some extra bars, so I'm going to hit them, be read them. Quickly. Check how these two. Alright, so we can quickly check on this one. Just only here in the upper part. Alright, so this is fine. This is fine. Now I can reveal this layer right here and see how I can merge them together to give me what I want. The layer mask selected, I'm gonna select the V key and just memorandum going to select a soft round brush. I try to erase this fight. We're going to hit on Control C to transform butterfly transform. I will mention that I didn't have the layer mask selected at the moment. You don't Control T to transform and go over and just right-click and select Warp option. Click on. Okay, good. So I can just drag, I can drag this down a little bit. Limited this down, and bring these studies. All right, this is really looking good. I'm going to select this top layer and your select the brush to fade this edge so that we don't have this hard edge right there. Maybe I can take away or disrupts. The rock is at the bottom one. That is fine. Bring it down, leads to B. You don't control. C, hold down control and bring this down a little bit, too much. Alright, click on Okay. This is looking good for now. And now I can go into my stock folder where I have right here. In this demo, I'm going to input these grasses. Jurors, that would have bet that bird, I can just pick it up. They keep blue. Release you. Whereas this is like a mountain. I really don't, It's really like a mountain. I'm going to drag it up, bring it down. Unless I'm going to add a layer mask, select the brush to and try to erase this and see if it's actually, if it actually blends in. No, it did load. So I'm gonna delete the layer mask and drag these blue. Blue, it's fine. Yeah, it's really fine. It's fine like this. This is really okay. And now I am willing to select this layer here on Control C Again it down and just bring it down, hold down control and bring it down a little bit. This time I wanted to fill the edge of it. I'm going to select the layer mask, selected brush to injures Fed the Fed the air leads to B. This is really looking good for now. I can zoom in and now looking good for now. Now I'm going to hit on Control S, save, go back into the stock for that and see what I can bring in this Tamara. And each time I'm going to look for the comp. And let's quickly take a look at these graphs and see what destroys and see what we can actually pick from here. In addition to that, alright, this is going to make the tree look a little bit different and no jurist know jurist random. Alright, so I'm going to add a layer mask by holding down the Alt key and add a layer marks eraser using the B key and a foreground color is set to white. You can toggle this by hitting the X on your keyboard. And it's going to toggle between the foreground and background color. Whereas I'm going to paint little later. See what I have right here. If I do that, I'm gonna get on Control C to scale it up. If I click on Okay. And now the grass is looking at a little bit differently. I think we don't really need it. This is, this is absolutely fine. Okay. This is absolutely fine. I'm going to delete these. I don't need that. I'm going to bring in the 10s, go over to my stoke for that again, drag and drop it into Photoshop. Here we have retained in Photoshop. I just need only tend not to deliver. So I will go over to my toolbar and select the Magic Wand. And this time just hit Select Subject and see what Photoshop can do me this type. Okay, so we have the scents selection, but we still have some issues that we still need to fix level needs to select all this part right here. We can actually make use of these two to just move your selection of this. So let me quickly check and see how it is going to be some going to move my mouse cursor outside of the selection. And I'm just going to click and give it some time and see where it's going to do. Since we have the highlighted at this moment. This is a decent selection will go right here. I'm going to select the move to, this is really looking so much good. Now I'm going to come down to this file and add a layer mask. Now we have only detained, but restate however, some issues right here, which I think they are really not good. What I'm going to do at this stage, since these two are already given us what kind of error? I'm going to select the brush tool, the size of the brush, and I'm just going to select a regular soft round brush. Set my foreground color to white, which I have right here. I just write already. Then I'm going to go over and review all these places. The agreed job board. We just have some issues that we're still need to fix. That is fine. Now I'm just going to select the print two years ago inclusively and make your selection of this place. And now I am going to clear this selection. I can now right-click and click on, Okay, and have the layer mask selected our set, my foreground color back to black by clicking on that little icon right there, or here on the x kids there. And I'm going to hold down Alt and click on backspace. So right here we have y is I'm going to undo that and make sure that I have the black selected, hold on and Rackspace. And now it is going to take away that bad app already bringing back, well, I'm going to leave everywhere apart like that and go over to phi and then deselect right here to take away their selection. All right, This is really cool. We can fix everybody I'd seen litho or so now, I'm just going to come down to the lab part, right-click and convert it into a smart object. Select the move to drag these into my composition. Alright, this is really big and it's in-between going to drag that up here. Don't control C to trash, resize these and take it all the weights and disposition. And I think I'm going to resize it. They sold it to be. Alright, this is fine. And I'm gonna hold down control and try to bring this down a little bit. This is a real kin, so much good. This is fine. And I am going to hit on okay, to just keep that for a moment. Now I'm going to review sodium layer thick it right here, it's already on Smart Object. Remember, keep your layers as smart object here or Control C to transfer and remedies download liter. We'd come over to this part, right-click, scroll all the way down. So flip horizontal. I'm just going to put it this way for now, later. Similarly b, I can just bring it up a little bit. This is fine. But now we're hidden, okay, and Control C. Control Zero to preview. And see where it's going. Alright, This is looking good for now. Now, back into my stock for that. I'm going to drag the chopper into Photoshop, drag and drop into Photoshop. Select the unlike any selection. So but I don't want to make use of the Select Subject. Give Photoshop times to do its thing. Alright, now we have nine selection right here of this. Yeah, I think this is pretty cool, but we have some issues right here. Inside of all these parts are not selected for. Now, I'm going to hit the O key on my keyboard to select the lessor to as a free-hand to. And I can hold down Shift to put on odds to subtract from the selection. And I am really going to my knowledge around these areas. It doesn't really have to be perfect. I'm just going to do this gluten-free 100 years like this because I am we can use a digit that they believe. You can make use of the pantsuit or so duties. And you can also make use of the polygonal lasso tool to do this and wonder few easy and breath out for you. You can use it to do that. All right, I'm just going to keep these sweet and add a layer mask to that again. Now we have a struct background from our chopper. Alright, I'm just going to right-click and rasterize and convert this into a smart object. Select the move to drag this into my document. This is a little bit bigger, so I'm going to take it all the way up to this spot right here, I think somewhere on the heroic, quite shrewd. Hold down control. Drag this police to bring it down a little and make it smaller because it's right here. Kate, and I'm going to click on Okay, that's cool. Now I can go into the folder. Now I'm just going to place all these and when I'm done, I'm gonna meet you guys when I'm done placing all these. Yes. Finally, don't listen all my stokes together. Now this is how I want everything to be. You can go ahead and use my police, yours, and you can just be creative and do something which we wanted to do with what I'm going for its discount over night loop to in the last lesson, we are going to start matching the light and give these nine few, but before will match the light. We are going to make sure it fits over this like right now you can see that it's subject is fluids in on our background. So as the plane, we only have these very cool right here, balanced under Grant because of the shadow we already have alongside with very good. And the 10th, it's really out of it. It's not making any sense like these. So we'd need to match all these things to make it look like it's attached to the ground. We're going to work on that in the next lesson and also match delight right here. 6. Blending Your Stock: In this lesson, we are going to start making our subjects to feel like they are standing on the background. It's like the ode to get over the bargain. Looking at the first subsidiary right here, you can see that it's not even marching with the background like ears feel like it's fluids in. And also the tenth right here, this one right here, and also these troppo we have right here. So we really need to make all these. They are attached to this bar graph itself. We're going to start with, since it's this part dance group which is right here, we're going to create a new layer, a dense. Now there's something we call the grass brush. I actually don't have that in the brush pack. I will be given to you guys, but there is no grass brush and the brush bark and I don't have that right now. We are going to improve race because I don't want to download anymore. I will be using on this. So I'm gonna create a new layer right here. And this time I'm just gonna hit the S key on my keyboard to select the Clone Stamp tool. Before I do anything, there's I wanted to make sure that I go over to this part right here. If yours is set to current measure, you click on the drop-down menu and set it to current. And below. That is very important. It is going to help you sample on this layer and also paint write it. When you look at this layer, this layer is empty because you're just an empty layer. Every other thing we have right here, it's on a separate layer. When you set these to jurors current, when you come down to this part in your whole brand, or to sample. When you hit an odd n clique when you move your mouse square. So you wouldn't be able to see anything right here. But when you go over to this spot and set it to current and below, when you come down to this by again, now you can really see that we'll have something right here, which we have some. When you hold down Alt again and sample, you will be able to say lazy I sampled from this chopper. I'm going to write it now. It can't sample from the chopper because we only set the Stuart current and below. But if we say these two only right here, when I sampled from the chopper, I can get from the choker. Well, in order to maintain that, I'm just going to click right here and save it to current and below. So that is going to sum from this currently it in blue. These particularly at, at, at how, right here. I want to work on the 10th. I'm just going to come down to this part of the subject layer for the moment. And I'm going to zoom in this time. Alright, right here, I'm just going to reduce your park scenario, the size of this brush. Click and sample from this part. And I am going to paint now if we see right here that this is having something like making use of the Bridger sensitivity here I'm showing you just want to undo this and go over to your brush settings right here. And make sure that you find that the four general version of Photoshop or you can select it from here. Now it is very far from my Sue. I just wonder, select these from S. I'm going to select the default brush in Photoshop right now. When I paint, user's going to be really okay right here. That is really doing something, but it's not doing something that as much as we can use a brush itself. Well, we're just going to make use of that and improve Rice. I'm going to sample from here and paint it right there. Sample from here. Parents him system perform, prints it. I'm just going to print just mixture. I did some cool you didn't sample in around. That is getting better. This is looking so good. What I want to do now is just looking flat at the top right here. What I wanted to do, I wanted to come down to this part and select a brush. Let's see, I'm going to add a landmark study, surrealism. Very easy for me to work on that. And I'm going to select this brush right here because it's having a sharp edge version is very sharp. I wouldn't double-click here and set the foreground color is black. Now, go into all the spot, reduce the size of the brush. A lead sous true, D soda. It's really going to look like grass at this stage. Alright, nodes, if you have to get a graduate to do these, just go ahead and get a gradual growth of that gets into gratitude residues needs to sample from the color from oddities, grasses and make use of it to just paint over the ten. And it's going to give you what you want. That is really going to be easy then making use of these method, I make Jesus off right here. But I just loved the winch, something in the frame. All right. So now this is looking more lack of Grice and we have the taint attached to the ground, which is really looking so much good. Now let's head over to a chopper right here. I felt like whichever is kind of like it's going up that much. I'm going to select Move to and drag it down a little bit. Don't go intrude. See. Bringing these portraits see and hold down control. And bring this down a little bit like this. Click on Okay. All right, That is fine. Now above the topology will create a new layer to list them for I start walking on the grass. I will just go in and select the brush to release them. I'm going to select a ratio of boxes Briscoe and flew out a soft pressure approximate and flow brush and make sure he did decay to reset the default color back to hit the D key, to select the default, set, the default color back to black, and select the foreground color as black. Understand why I'm just going to paint on this layer. I'm just going to paint this is a boost. I'm going to drag it below and review that layer. Make sure Steve, to keep it inside the group. I'm going to paint over there. This is looking good. Now it is time for me to query and undoubtedly SQ, just like the clone stamp to sample from the groceries, from the grasses. Over at least, I'm going to drag it. Now I'm going to repeat the same process again, add a layer mask. Select this version instead of foreground color to black. Size of the brush and x2 to be arisen from these errors. Just looking at more true than what we had before. All right, this is cool. It's really looking good. Looking so much night. Now first lag, we are having an underbar ground. Now let's head over to the subject itself. Right here. We have the first subject right here. And I'm just going to move this subject to this part, moving into subdirectories, but it's really going to march Beta. That is fine. This time we're just gonna create a new layer, drag it below that subject. Hit the V key to select the brush tool and the stem. Select the soft round brush foreground color set to black. Now we'll go below leg of the subject. We can do just like that. This is before and this is where we have f dash, that is a Bodhi subjects. I'm going to drag it down just like that. So this is before and this is where we have outfit, marriage really McKinley to look like subject. It's standing on that rhetoric we have right there. So I'm going to walk more years like this mode to describe. Just looking with it. I'm going to zoom into these fired and also walk. All right, so all of these won't really matter. But what will go in and start? Address them, the light and balancing the whole color, everything usually Green. March properly. Finally, we have the campfire and that is where we're going to walk over. So let's go into the prayerful that are both just create a new layer KT S key on your keyboard to select the clone stamp to injures some paint over. Okay, so we don't need to repeat anything right here on this one. Right now everything is looking good and really better at this stage. Now in the next lesson, we are going to go in and start balancing the light and make it look good before we head over its color gradient and applying with the light. 7. Matching Lights: In this lesson, we are going to start matching the light of all composition. I want to, you need to do you need to put these lightly, the matching of this lightning into a separate group just as we have it within right here, make sure everything is in separate groups so that whenever you want to make an adjustment, you know which group you have to focus on, in what particular Leah, you have the full herself. Know that when you have everything right here, Lias by layers and so on, it's difficult for you to locate the particularly yeah, which you want to work on where I made it's a night scene right here at Vanguard for Photoshop, we have some glucose available in Photoshop which we can use. And there are several ways of a planar these adjustment you can go over to Image Adjustments and then apply the address. But that is going to affect only one layer itself. As you can see right now, the adjustment that is already grayed out. So for us to link these to be visible for us to use, we just have to come down to this, but later sewer select this layer and we can go over to Image Adjustments. And now we can pick any adjustment right here. We have every address man here, but I don't want to make an adjustment because I wanted to have a tool that come true of the adjustment which I will be applying to that if I want to, at the end it's only odors adjustment which I will be applying. I can do that. I'm going to come down to this spot and click on this icon. From here, I can create an adjustment layer later. See I wanted to make use of the curves, right? And I'm just going to click on that button and select the curves. And it's going to create a new layer for me above everything or the steel wherever I do right here, it's going to affect everything on my composition. So these are the kind of, this is that the kind of adjustment me as I will be using right here. First I will be making use of this course. I'm going to drag a bleed or screw all the way down to this file and Luke photo1, lessees color lookup. Click on that and this window is going to open up. I'm going to click on the drop-down menu. And Lou photo won that seat. Day from night or night from day event, correct. Length from date when I click on that. And this is where we have Luke consumer good amazed that right here. And this is actually really, really look in our sum at this stage. I'm going to close this for now and see what is given to us. First. I'll just, I feel like this is already looking symmetry at the moment. So I can just come down to this fire and try to play with the adjustment layers and see if it's actually going to work with anyone right here. Let's see. It's not really a worker with anyone, so I'm just gonna leave it this way. Back to normal liver though. Alright, everybody really looking so much nice for we are having some reflected light right here which not supposed to be sued. So right here I'm just going to select that color leuko annulus. Click on the Group icon to group it right here. I'm just going to drag it and drop it inside. I'm going to double-click on this group and set that. Suddenly move that group to adjustments. Just meant that as an uppercase adjustment and I'm gonna close that group. Alright. Now I can go ahead and create ever layers instead of this group right here, I'm going to click on that adjustment layer and select a curves adjustment layer. Now, I wanted to targets, but a moment. I wanted to target the chopper. I wanted to make this upper part dark. So I'm going to look at a chopper itself, reduce it at the moment. I see that I'm no longer getting those light electrophile. That is really Okies. I'm going to close these. Select the layer mask and here on control I on my keyboard or badly Amherst. And I'm gonna scroll over to my brush File New and select the soft brush. Now I'm going to switch the foreground color to white and paint over the lighter areas on my chocolate to reduce the lights. This is looking good for moving, don't worry. We are going to address that. However, it is a bit of an error, so I'm going to switch endures, erase some parts of this edge switch rack. This is looking for a second. Reduce the opacity a little bit too simple like that. Create another adjustment layer. And this time we'll go into that, Leah and come all the way down to the chopper, which is right here. And I am going to create new curves adjustment. This demo. I'm just going to take this down. Alright? And it's affecting everything, but I wanted you to affect only the choppers. I'm going to click on this icon right here to set a Liao March know it's going to affect only that chopper. Take this o per liter. That is strength. For the moment. I'm gonna come down to this layer and see what's really going on. Alright, now I'm just going to reduce the ACCC a bit. Just like that. It's really looking like a light and I really love what I have right there. So I'm going to click on that and reduce it. Alyssa region should actually go into March. This is phi n. I'm going to repeat the same process, but I'm gonna hold down and drag it to the dump vehicle, which is this one right here. Elizabeth Fry. And I'm going to limit seats to that one. I'm going to double-click on this part, then bring this down. This is really fun, really fine. Now I'll go work. So I'm going to duplicate this again. I'm going to drag and drop it inside of our subject folder. Open your subject for their salaries as clipping masks, that layer. Now these Sue I'm marching to get our light of this one are really matching with this limited double-click on that and see if I can reduce it a little bit. This is fine. That is absolutely fine. You don't have control J to duplicate, drag this down and place it on top of that right there. Now I can increase it a little bit. Alright, this is really fine. This is really the French. Now I can color these. Now we have to work on the background itself. Will over to the background or above the background group. I'm going to create new Curves Adjustment Layer, and I'm going to drag these down. This is really fun. I'm gonna duplicate this and put it inside of the file group of Fire group. And when you say I said that as I said that out as a clipping mask and we're going to click inside of groups and we'll bring it out and say that as a clipping mask only onto the fire. I don't want that to be much darker because that is the visible light that leads to beat. This is fine. Now I wanted to do so until about the sky. The sky is really, really break. This guy is really bright. So right here on this guy, I can come down to this part. For now. I think the background, I'm going to drag these interpret inside the background. These, I'm just going to group these and leave the group. What do I'll do that for now. I'm gonna leave the group or nymph for the moment. Right here, I'm going to walk on this guy. So on this background, I'm going to create a new adjustment layer. Create a new coach at your estimate, will click on this and click on the sky and drag it down a little bit. Let me see. I can take it down again till I no longer see the sky is fine. Now I'm going to hit Alt Control I to invert the group. To be key. Mr. full-grown sets white. I'm going to paint over the sky just only to make the sky a little bit darker. This is over how before, and this is what we have after looking better. But we'll have some of the blacks are fixing the grass, some gridded is going to cheat on X to toggle to the white black as my foreground color. And I'm just going to very similar these areas. This is fine. This is really fine. Alright, so now we have all these eras term for us to go in and start applying our light effect, bringing the slave. And we'll make any loop so much good and really cool. Alright, right here we need to make this light bulb, CSU have light of fire going on. We need some made a light bulb and we also need to make the light effect all these areas and delight in the tent. We need to bring the light on the dance to affect all these areas and also some of the light affecting these vehicle. Right here. In the next lesson, we are going to start applying those lights. 8. Adding Light Effect: In this lesson, we are going to start applying effects on We've been in halfway and it's really looking so good. But there are actually some things we need to do. We need to match the light right here and do some other address. But before we do that, we really wanted to understand how we want the few of our artwork to look. Is it going to be cool or is it going to be one? Now we need to understand that we have the atmosphere right here. And it's night and the night. It's always good at this. By the wheat, we have the fire right here. This is actually going to cause some kind of issues right here. So we need to have a warm and cool effect on our artwork. Now when you look on our artwork right now we are having this cool effect and just really look into good. It's matching with all these places right there. But inside of the dance, we have a warm light. And right here we also have a warm like now we need to work with all of this. We have to first of all walk with warmth and laid out. We can now walk with the, in effect, the first thing we need to do, we need to come down to this spot right here, click on that and select the color balance. Now the color balance is used to adjust the midterm, the highlight and shadows of your walk. When you look here, we have the cyan, we have the magenta and we have the loop right here. These control the cyan and the reds of fuel. This country, the magenta and the green and this also control the yellows and the blue on your ads work together with all these later you will be able to tweak your artwork to give you what you want. There is no particular value you have to use whenever you are working in every ads work, you have to make use of some certain value. And getting those value, you need to play around with these sliders right here to give you that particular value you are going for, that is where you need to keep in mind. So right here, I'm going to start with delete tuned squares. I want it to be warm. So come down to the yellow a little bit and add a little bit of yellow. Go over to the red and add a little bit of red to make it look a little orange it, so right here you can really see what is happening. We've not done Zoom what we've done, the lead x2 bar, we have a big change right here. When I turn this off, you can see what we have. When I turn this on, you can see what we have. Now. This is where we have before and this is where we have after. You need to keep that in mind. I will go over to the shadows and also play around with it to add a little shadows, I will add a little bit of warmth moving into the blue. I'm just going to add a little red. That's too much, too little bit, or I guess the red is just going to be at 0. And this is before and after. And I can move over to the highlight. The highlight, I think I'm going to make the highlight warm a little bit. Yeah, I think minus four is okay and add just a little touch of blue. Yeah, this is really looking good now we have that warm and the Khufu right here, but we still have the one pooping out which is really cool, which is exactly what we want. But this is really looking so good than what we have before. Okay, so we have a bit that stat right now. This is looking nice, red here. I'm just going to leave this adjustment for now. And now what I wanted to do, I want to start lighting up these areas with the fire. But first I wanted to pop the fire and I wanted to really look bright and really, really bright. To do that, I'm going to come down below this layer, this layer right here to color balance layer, create a new layer. I'm going to select a brush too, and I think this time around I'm going to make it soft brush just that from my color picker, I'm going to pick an orange color just like that. Orange like this is really okay from me. Thanks. Something like more yellowish orange. This is cool. This is fine. Now I will come over, zoom into the fire. I am going to dab, dab begin. Now we have the fire right there, but it's looking bright. Yeah, it should look in bright and it's looking good, but the color we just apply, it's not real. So we need to make this loop grip. Go over to the blend mode and make sure that the layer is selected. Right here. Go over to the blend mode and set the blend mode to color dodge. Alright, now the color dodge is not really looking so weird. It just pop the fire a little bit. Now let's see, let's drag this up and see how it is going to be. The color dodge is still not looking so much goods. So we have to play around with something and see what gives us the British that is colored overlay soft light. Now we are going to make use of screen. Now this is a little bit better, but not really looking at is exactly what we want. Well, we are still going to work on this and three kids really give us what works. I'm going to apply more of these right here. To really make it pop. Right now the fire it's Pork Board. I can just do this. Oh, and don't respond. It's really look into good board. It's not really looking like what we want. Well, that doesn't really matter for now. Let's go in and paint some flames over this word right here. For now later spin the light. Makes it so much easier right here I'm going to undo, delete this layer for now. And I'm going to select more orangey color right here. Now create a new layer. And I can dab right here. This demo, I'm going to try and set the blend mode to color dodge screen, overlay soft light and I think lighten screen. All right, screen is good. Screening is really screening really good. I'm going to create a new Solid Color. Click on looky, play around with the blend mode and see what's going to be good. I think the color dodge is looking at sugar, going to hit on Control I to invert the layer mask. Now with that, I can use it to paint, which later brush through and measure them. I foreground color is set to white, and now I can paint in the area where I need the lights. Right now we have the light butter is something going on right here. It's different from the color of the fire, it's different from the color of the light, so we need to fix that. I want you to come down to this white grid, a hue saturation adjustment layer, clip it to this layer below. And right now we are going to find the light that is going to match our fire. I think this is really close to what we have right there. Yeah, this is really looking at clues. We can add every other I just meant to eat later on. This is really looking good, but we still have to make anodal like right there, right here we have the light from the tenth, so we need to make that light effect already spot right here. So this time we are going to create another solid color layer. Click on Okay, find a blend mode actually go into be good right here, I guess we're still going to be making use of the color dodge. Click on looky. Leon Mars here on Control I to invert the layer marks and this time Xu in with white. And now we will go in and make those slides brighter right here. So quickly, let's say could true between the before and the after. This is looking so good. It didn't really look into good. I think we need to grab the hue saturation again and drop it on that layer and set that as a clipping mask. This is Lulu. This is really looking good. It is really, really looking good. Let's come down to this button again. Since inspired exclusive to fire less SRE to make the light more intense. This is looking good. I'm going to select every layer right now. I'm going to select these hold down shift and select this one. Here. Don't control G. I'm going to name these. You don't. Okay? So this is what we have before, and this is where we have out there before an alphabet. This is really looking so good. Now we also need to have some reflection of this light on this guy. Just a reflection. Let's go back to this layer right there, and a little bit of reflection on the jurors. Need an OSU only Studio. Don't need to be precise. Just like this. Okay, So this is it before and after, before and after, in just a little bit of light right here. This is looking too good. So let's quickly see between the before and the after, before and after, before and after tau. This is looking so good. Now it is time for us to implement some light. We are having some kind of issues right here. I don't know if you notice it. When you look at this part, you can see we are having issues right here and also right here. Well, we are coming back to fix all of these. I think we still need to go a little bit. Alright, I think I would sharpen needs to be higher than this boat. We can go come back to that later on. This is really looking too good. In this lesson, we will go into apply more adjustment to our artwork and really make it look real and bring it more to life. We can quickly see from where we started. So I'm going to turn off a whole row hood on and click on the background layer to turn off everything. In our studies from here. We have the things. We also have our subjects. We have the vehicles. We have the fire, where double-click on this and limb. We have the fire. We have the first adjustment which we're using transforming need from the, tonight. We have the lights. This is really look into good. This is really looking to, I'm gonna hit Control S and a meet you guys in the next lesson. 9. Correcting the lights: This lesson, we're going to match the light of our adsorb. Now when we look at these very well, we can see that the lights here, it's not really that much. And so it really depends on the kind of theme we are going for now for once, leave it like this additionally, okay, credit, the atmosphere is great and right here it's right. But this is somewhere like Omid, a religion. What we really want these to be someone like a night or real names, so we need to work on that. But before we go into the wind and now I'm going to look at these charts. I feel like it's no Really. Okay. The perspective is not really okay. So we'll go into the vehicle for their correct and try to locate the chopper itself. Alright, this is the Chopra. I'm gonna select that in the adjustment layer. You don't control C. And shirts bring these elite to be. I think symptom like this is okay, so this is where we have before and after. Yeah, this is looking really good. I think I might want to increase that a little bit. Yeah. This is fine. This is really fine. Yes. We can hear we are having issues right here which I think we need to fix. We can actually come back to that and fix it later. So for now, let's clues every old I think we really need to fix this right here because it's not really looking good at all. So let us go into the wake R2 again, unless locate this is the that is the chopper. Okay, first let's turn off the light layer adjustment layer and try to click on this part to look at the grasses. Those add to grasses. Now, we really need to end this isn't really coming down the list. So let me bring me down. That is frame. Let's look at the grass layer, which is this right here. There are no really looking good at all. I'm going to create a resistor effects in everywhere, okay, only the chopper. I'm just going to drag and delete these, create a new layer. Hit the S key on my keyboard is later close down two and make sure that your current and below it selected and measure that you have a default brush from regenerate our brush selected, which is the soft round brush lecture that I have that selected. And now let's repeat the same process. Pick from here. Let's look at this is looking good. It needs to still take this in, lead to loose, a little bit crazy right here, and we need to balance this fight to make everything goes in properly. Now create a layer mask and select the brush tool and make sure that you select the sketch burst from the brush pack. Select the default color, which is black. And now we'll just use that to layer minus the grassy Luke. Let's zoom out a bit CSI. Alright, This is looking good nurse. And now I can go back or can just close your vehicle layer and now apply the adjustment layer and also applied a light. Well, this is looking so good at this stage. Now it is time for us to go in and balanced the legs. I want this tree to be a little bit darker. So as the sky and all the spot of the way crew and right here now we can assume there is a little bit of moon which is reflecting. Since this is an open ground, then that is really good. It's something that's really good, which we can live that way. Leisure, stretch, balance, the light. Okay, so now let us go over to this part. Now just create a little bit of a Curves Adjustment Layer. Curves Adjustment Layer. And now you want to look this guy, all these upper part right here, that is why you want to look. So I'm just going to create a point in the middle and drag it down. I think this is fine. I'm going to hit on Control I to invert the layer mask and select a soft brush. I'll go with this brush right here and make sure I increase the size and set my foreground color to white. I think. Okay, the brush has pressure of packets, the option, but if you are loading, we can use a tablet. You want to reduce the opacity to somewhere around 50 or just find something that actually go into okay, for you. I'm going to paint with white over to review some of the area. I want this white suits be a little bit darker. This spiral of this guy. Also part of this to be a little darker. Think this is fine. Alright, so let us quickly see, this is before and this is where we have after them for an Alpha, well, I can just double-click on this pad and take it down to darken it more. Okay, and I think this is fine. And I will come back to this car. Right here. Be switchback and your pen. I'm on the car. Alright, that is frankly, this is before and this is where we have after, before and after. But this is really looking good at this stage. Now it's balanced out this slide we have on this right now you can go in individually and stats COVID older slide, but I really don't want that one a little bit of a reflection of mood, since this is an open ground right here. What we are going to do at this stage now, there is no way we can put into mu now what I want to put in the moon, right? And so we can just assume the moon is coming from this part right here. We're going to create a new layer. Reduce brush right here. We're going to select a warm color, something like a bluish color, something like is. That is fine. And we are going to apply, Miro, going to apply that right here. I'm going to dab and keep dabbing down satisfied, just like that. Alright, so now I'm going to play around with the blend mode. Let us see what are going to see the blend mode actually going to be nice to have screen light and I think it's soft light it really okay. There is soft light is really okay there. So we're going to make his own soft light. Now that is really looking so good. So I'm gonna select the move to back and generally go in there. All right, whereas select the move to work. And this is low how before and after, before and after adding a whole lot of lives, that part. So we can hit on Control J to duplicate seed, and that is really looking good. It's really awesome at that point. So I'm gonna reduce the opacity of the top one. That is fine. So these right here, we have this amplifier. So I'm just going to limb these. I'm just going to limb that the firelight so that it's very easy for us to understand. Alright, that lambda or firelight. And now I can click that and select these and you don't control G. Name that lights. Hit on Enter. Alright, so this is really looking good. Now let's take a look at what we've done so far. Have the lights. This is where we have before and this is what we have after. So now we're now at this point, we now have appropriate direction of the light, which is really looking good. Before we have the lights, before we have the light coming from this part here is later and we house them light if it come in right here, which is really opposite and not really making sense. But now as we adjust this industry really looking so much good. Now at this stage, now this slide we're still needs to make this slight POP or leads to B over this area, go into the lights. Who go into the firelight. And I think I want to yeah, I'm going to hit on control. Increase the intensity of the light. Now I'm going to reduce the opacity of this one or I just did right here. Let us go down. Yeah, this is fine. Alright, so this is what we had before and this is what we have after, before and after. This is really looking good for now. Now everything is getting so much in place. It is time for us to go in and start balancing the overo things we need in this work. Here, this brings us to the end of this lesson. So now you can really see the little, we'll learn how we just apply the light and make it balanced little bit narrower. So many things we need to do. Really so many days like right here, so I have to cover up that butt right there. I'm just gonna take a little bit of flame to do that. So good there. Intellect brush to reduce the size of the brush. And with the white as my foreground color. I'm going to paint over displace. I don't want a light coming over here. And so our displays carriers there is the truck should be casting a shadow on his clot so we don't really need any light from this slide is not supposed to move bright that much. That is fine. Well from here it shouldn't be any form of lights all over the spot. Ledgers dark and despite all right. Just from here, they shouldn't be shouldn't be displaced, shouldn't do much light. Here, there shouldn't be much light. This is looking good. This is where we have before and after, before and after each change a whole lot of Luke's, our artwork. In the next lesson, we will go in and do more on our artwork. 10. Ajusting The Colors: It is time for us to do something nice that ligaments make the absolute to look more mature and really make it look outstanding and nice. Now we have everything ready, but it is time for us to go in and apply some kind of close deck is really going to give us that kind of fuel want first we're just going to do a little play around with the adjustment layers and see how it is going to be como, which it is fire, and go back into the lookup table. And I'm just going to select the first one and see how it is going to move for us to go into in blue with all these and see which one is really going to make sense depending on the kind of few you are going for. I couldn't see anything. So let's try let's close that and let's reduce the Oak Park CC unless you're a gender blend mode to soft light, then reduce the APAC scenario, which this is fine. We still needs length of this guy so much so that the light is given to affect some variable. Well, since we have everything separate groups, we go into Azure that later. Let us quickly see how before and this is what we have after Donald decided on the outside. Now, I'm just going to create a new adjustment layer. And that layer, it's going to be the selective color. Now the Selective Color give us the ability to adjust each color especially or our artwork, the radio. When I click on this drop-down menu, you can see that I have yellow, red, green, cyan, blue, magenta, white, neutral, and Black. Each of odors colors right here, do separate thing on our artwork and the ones that affect our artwork alert whenever we play around with them, it's mainly the neutral white and the black. Well, we actually go into, take a look at this. We are just going to set this to relate sieve for all these sliders, this slide I will use to address whichever colors we'll pick right here. Well, there are no preset right here, and you can also save your own preset board early further, that is linear Stephen your own preset. And once in you need to know above these selective color is data. There is no one way of making use of this legacy of color, leg or **** go in and you know that weights you get where you want on your artwork. You just have to move. You just have to come down to this part selected red, move your science led at the beloved movie or magenta slider to the left, yellow slider to do right. And you're black slider to the left. No, it doesn't work that way. So you just have to play around with the values and see what is going to give you and how it's really going to suit the kind of ads work you are working on at that particular moment. Right now I'm just going to click on the drop-down menu and I will go over to the neutral face for now and see what I want to play with. Now we have this cyan, we have the magenta, we have the yellow and we have the black. Let me quickly take a look at something and see if I can get you some. So let's go over to the color balance. Now when we look at the color balance right here, you can see that the opposite color of cyan is red and opposite color of magenta is green. The opposite color of yellow is blue. So we will go back to the selective color. You can see it right now. You know that if you are bringing down to this, but we are going to say from moving into this file, we are going onto green, the opposite of cyan, red and the opposite of magenta. It's green, the opposite of yellow, it's blue. So you need to keep that in mind. So what we are trying to target right here is just a warm few on our ads to exit, this is nine and we have the light and also we still need warm and also the Khufu right here. And we are going to actually work on older stuff. So now let us really color grid, but let's really work on that phrase. So I'm just going to come down here to this part and create a colo balance. First of all, create a color balance. I'm going to drag this in-between the selective color tone of the selective color adjustment layer. For now, what we want to do with this color balance, It's photos to give us the ability to play around with our shadows. And like now, this is going to help us to achieve that warm and the code tune on our artwork right here, I wanted to target the wound and warm, warm stood from the midterms or I'm just go over it. So the highlight right here, which is the highlight, I want to make the highlight warm as you can see. So I wanted to make the highlight warm leads to a little bit of blue. And I want to add a list with a green so that the grass or trees or go into support or from the background. So let's see the result before and after. This is looking a little bit better. Before an Alpha, you can see emerge good, but now we have the fires. The lights looking warmth. So now we'll go over at the mid tones, and now we are going to apply a little bit of yellow to the mid turns, add a little bit of red because of the fire. This is it before and after. And now we will go over to the shadows. I'm going to keep going to keep it that way and try to play around with the magenta. No, we don't need it in magenta right here. And now, what reds? We actually don't need the red squares. It's really hash right there. I'm not going to close this reduces overhead before and it is what we have after, before and after. It did alert helpers who controlled the highlight and shadows. Now this is looking good. So now let's turn on the selective color address mentally, double-click on this thumbnail to open nodal properties. And I'm going to shoot the study spot right here because you can keep it right here and drop this here. Now we are going to play around with all these. We have the neutral selected before in case you just forgot to click on this drop-down menu and select the nutrients I'm going to play with Sarah and certainly it's something a little bit warm summer heading over it. I'm heading towards to do what to the CPU. For now it will have the magenta add elicit bit of red, pulp. The lights go to the yellow. I guess I'm going to add yellow right here. If I didn't know the blue suit from green here, I'm adding more of the yellow, so I think a little bit of a yellowish. Okay, right here. So let's just quickly cities will have before and this is what we have after. That is a little bit reddish, but don't worry, we are going to fix that. For the blacks. The blocks is not really doing anything. So I'm just going to set that back to 0. Right click on the drop-down menu and try to play around with whites. And I will go over to the magenta. There is nothing really to do with the whites. I'm going to set that back to 0 and play with the cyan. There is nothing really here to do. I'm going to set that back to 0. I'm going to click on the drop-down menu and less play around with a black and see what we can do right here. Well, let's individually go in on right here, so I'm gonna hit it on, put in 000. Now let us go over as respire and select the red unless straight to both the red again, not really much still happening. Even with the red suit. You can really see what I'm telling. A shadow play with the absolute and see what so great here, nothing. Now this is wherever, this is exactly what I'm telling you. Making use of the selective color doesn't really give you exactly what you want right? Now. You need to keep this in mind. We have cost them selected before. We will just reset everything we do and everything has gone back to the number. So we'll go back to neutral. We don't have anything again, address mistakenly click on that. I'm going to readjust everything. Wow, we have this done. Okay, So I'm going to re-add, let me just reset this. Let's start from the neutral. Let's play around with the neutral. Wonder light support. It's gonna be this way and need a little bit of magenta to make it look good. Just like that. A little bit. And we'll need yellows to make light pop. What again, we don't release, add a little bit of black. Click on the drop-down menu goods wide, recession to play with in white. Okay, so click on the drop-down menu again. And goods from black. We have lots of play with the black. Cyan. Let's add a little bit. Oh, just because of the fire, I think just 1% is fine. Oh, minus one. I think 1% is fine. Let us check. Minus one. Minus one is okay. It makes the place look warm. And let's go to magenta. We don't want much green, I think. Minus 12. It's okay for these. Let's play around with the yellows. I think minus one. So Q for the yellow and the black, little less straight to feed it should be, I think. Let's go four minus one. So this is where we have before and this is where we have alpha. Let us go from minus one is a little bit okay, Now let's click on this spot and let's go for the reds unless strike. Mainly we do fire, so let's add more intensity to the light and the fire itself. Let's add a little bit of magenta. Yellow, unless adolescent middle of yellow. And overall, this is what we have before. And this is where we have after, before enough that this is really looking good for now. I think play with the black. So I think this is what I wanted to do for now. Legally clear that out. I'm going to select all these colors. Oh, the adjustment we just applied and click on that. You don't control G. And I'm going to name that adjustment too. Just meant to, I'm going to hit on, okay, So this is what we have before. And this is where we have after making liberty into balance and look good. So after, before, after, before, lattice is good. This is everything we are having right here. This is really looking good. Now we are coming to the part where we have the nice look on our artwork, everything literally looking so good at this moment. So I'm gonna catch you guys in the next lesson. 11. Color Grading: Now I'm going to show you a little bit of a kind of trick that is given to be really good for you lift. Now you can do any adjustment you wanted to do, but there are so many Azure, there are some adjustment we need to do before we finally roundup our ads work. Okay, so now I want to make use of the camera raw filter to do some adjustment right here that is really going to make the absolute collude to merge. Nice wherever. Before I'm going to do that, I'm just going to select every layer right here. I will group right here. I'm not sure I'm at the top layer. They'll hold down Control or Shift plus to make a merged copy of everything. So now everything we've done right here, we have the match copy right here. I'm going to right-click and convert that into a smart object. I want to apply a call. Now there are some adjustment I wanted to do, but I wanted to show you a trick in case you forgot there is a way you can fix that right here I have this now, it wherever our filter we apply it. So you're going to remain on this layer and we can go back and add details later on. Now, let's go over to Filter camera Raw Filter. Alright, instead of the camera raw filter, we wanted to do some adjustments. I want to play around with warm to make it warm a little bit unless you wanted to add it seems of green. To make the grass Pop. I think I wanted to decrease the exposure with minus. That's a little bit of contrast to bring back the fading, we add the shadow and highlights to make the light spot. The shadow. I wanted to take the shadowed down to darken the ducks. For Dwight, I really don't want to do anything we do. I think I'm just going to add a little bit of whites, the blacks. I'm just going to take it down a little bit, just like that for a texture and so on. I really don't need that for the vibrance. I think I'm going to be vibrance to it to make the colors pop. And for saturation, I guess five is okay for me, for the saturation. Okay, so now we can quickly see what we've done with just a basic tab. This is the before, and this is the after. We've done this with just the basic tab. So let's quiet down to the column mixed cell right here. From here, let's see what we can do if we can play around with that. So we can play around because you don't want to tamper with and it's in radius, I'm going to set this 0. Let's head over to the color grading tab and see what we can make out of this color grading tab so we can break down the shadows. A leads to B. It is few. I want to give the bluish few leisure. See something more reddish. I think this is fairly quickly cities wherever hope for enough the array, we see how the CPU, and we still have a fire right there. We can play around with light. So right here, I'm working with the guys. Let's quickly see where we are working on working with the shadow. Let us work with the mittens and see if we can get with the meat what we can do the meetings. I think I want more of yellows in the midterm lab, more of orange book that, Let's see research here. Let's try to create a light of the mid change to make it loop greater. For the highlight, I want a little bit of blue for the highlight. Wanted to lead to veto blue for the highlight. Now let us increase the highlights and make the light bulb. Let's check the color gradient types of resumes before and after are far enough that everything is looking nice and good. Now coming down to the blending layer should make this blend with our image improperly or arthropod. Okay, I'm going to increase the blending. Let's see, I'm going to increase brand blend into somewhere around 68%. And for the balance, I think I'm going to balance between the shadows and the highlights. I think I need more available to highlight. All right, that is good, that is really fine. Everything is looking so good. Perfect. Let's take a look at, let's take a look between the before and after. So this is how before. This is where we have after, before and after, before and after. Now this is nice. This is really cool. Now you can do everything that the image won't do when I'm degree heat on, okay. To go back, this is a little bit darker, so I need more light on this. So I'm just going to create a new Curves Adjustment Layer or latest IFC, go back into the Camera Raw Filter because I wanted to pack everything onto one, particularly, we'll go back into the basic tab and I will go over at the highlight, will increase the highlights a little bit, too much. And exposure increase the exposure mode to somewhere. I think something like this is okay. Okay, I'm gonna click on Okay. This is really fine compared to what we had before. This is over how before on our ADSR and this is where we have after, before and after, before and after. This is looking so good. Now there are so many, some adjustment we need to do, but this is just a basic way of how you can round up your work to see what it's going to look at the ending. And that is really going to help you do a lot of adjustment and come back the fixed ovaries. This is just how I color grid my ads work stress will delete. It seems now there are some artwork you do, you go ahead and add more color gradient technique based on this kind of an artwork. This is just how I wanted to color grid my own answer. The last lesson we will go in and apply every final adjustment that we need for our artwork to look so much good and better. And I hope you've been enjoying this lesson so far and you are learning a lot from this lesson. I can't wait to round up this lesson with you guys so that I can see what you guys will create after going through this course, I will see you guys in the next lesson. 12. Final Adjustments: Previous lesson of color grading. This is the stage we love. Previous lesson, I showed you guys how I color grid my artwork. It is just a very simple step by just making use of the camera to color grade. Now what I did is just to give you the end of how everything in it's going to loop. There are some folks who just wanted to see the end of our artwork stood at, will be able to know the kind of adjustment we wanted to do to make the artwork look good and re-look exactly the way we want it to be. That is what I just did here right now after applying to find out why adjustment, I'm now seeing some things I need to do, like a needs to add up the fire. I'd see it lies right here to be visible here a lot. And one thing we keep in mind in the last lesson, it's that will make his over smart. We make use of a smart object right here to apply our color gradient. Which simply means that if we make any modification to the below layers, right? It, we can also convert all these groups into another smart object. Then we can just copy and paste this smart filter. Then we're still going to arrive at the same color grading we have right here. This is something we really need to keep in mind. But before we go in and start applying our final adjustment, let's quickly see how far will go on in this. We started out from having jurist a background, just like these two different backgrounds merging together. Then we add detained. After adding the tens, we add the subject, which is to subject right here. Then I'll do a very good which is the chopper and the Jeep. Then we added the fire, which is the campfire right here. Then we add a little bit of adjustments to move it from day to night because we are going for a night scene. Then we added the fire effect right here. It's light up our scene because of the fires we have right here. And we go ahead and modify the direction of the light. So since we have, since we have the light come in, we have light from the spot and also we have the light on the chopper and the light hits in this part of the jeep, we can have the light's coming from this area. It make an adjustment to that by controlling the light properly. So maybe the light's coming from this part right here, which is really nice, affecting everything in good and nice way. Then we apply some adjustment layers right here to try to adjust everything, make the fire intense and so on. And finally, we apply our color grading, which really brings out the beauty of the ads work we are going to so far so good. This is over the whole process will make use of now I wanted to work on fire, so I'm just going Don't of the layer will have right there, this mud layer we have right there. And I'm going to locate the fire lights, which is This is the firelight. I'm just going to select on any one of the group and hit the B key on my keyboard to select the brush to. After I selected the brush, to make sure I have the layer mask selected, my foreground color is set to whites. I can now go ahead and paint over displays to bring out the fire right here. And also a little bit of it here. I'm going to click on this layer again on the layer miles and repeat the same process. We just only to note I am making use of the soap brush will do Park City right here with the flu and proximity. And I'm really going to add it right here. Again. I'm just going to light here or little bead will know that. Okay, that is fine. I'm not going to light here, note that much. I'm going to undo that layer selected. To do that. Now I'm just going to paint a lead to rise here, to just bring the fire. That is, that is absolutely fine. All right, so now let us quickly see what we've done. Now look at what we've done right here. We've added a fire lights right here, and also identify our light right? So now what we are going to do before we apply our final address now we just really wanted to see what we're just going to measure if it's in my way down Control or Shift plus e to make a merged copy of everything. And then we're going to right-click and convert this into a smart object. Then we can come down to this part, hold down the Alt key on our keyboard and drag on this smart view that and drop it on this new layer we just created and convert it into a Smart Object. Alright, so now we have it. Now you can see where he's looking at. This is the previous one we have. This is the after one we see a whole lot of light just added, a whole lot of live just added to our ads work. Now it is time for me to add some depth to this fire. Fire is really looking good, but not as much as I really want. Hub. Now, I want to add moving objects you, these ads work. I really want to make it outstanding. So I got this stock footage right here, which is fire, which we are going to be making use of. It looks more like a picture. We're actually this, the video. When you look right here, you can see that we'll have video group here. Okay, So now what I'm just going to do, I'm just going to select these video group layer, the video group. And I'm just going to click on this hamburger icon, click on duplicates group. From this document, I'm going to click on the drop down menu and select the comp. Now, this is the current document we are working on right here. So I'm just going to restrict the comp. Click on Okay, and give it some time. It's going to duplicate and drop it inside of this group. But before we come back, so this group, Let's go back into this previous the document we are working on. So go over to Windows, scroll all the way down until I see the timeline. Click on that, and it's going to open up the timeline I'm going to drag and increases right here. Now you can see it's in the video group and already showing that this is a video. When I hit on the play icon right here, you can see that a fire explain it truly looking good. Alright, so that's fine. I'm just going to hit on his face, but to purchase it and watching a leg bodies via its, that it has a continuous loop which is really going to make it look so much like you can see that just something like that. Okay, so I'm just going to come down to this file, and from here I have duplicate these and I'm just going to click on Create Video Timeline when you click on that. And now you can see that we have everything right here as having a play head right here. But we don't really want to work with any one of all these. We only just wanted to work with the fire, which is right here. But now you can see that as we apply to fire, it covers everything on our ads work. How are really going to adjust this? So we just wanted to go over to the blending mode options. Scroll all the way down to find the screen. Right here. Click on that and apply the screen. We see how some kind of issues right here. It's okay, everything's looking good. So let's quickly these DR, everything is really looking. Occasion now hit on Control C to transform this and bring this down. Just going to move these O. And I'm going to try to bring it down to this. Here. I'm going to click on, Okay. I'm going to click on the playbooks in to see how it is going. This is really going, whoa. I'm just going to come down to this BY includes these play head right there. That's fine. Now, it can loop constantly. Come down to this file and resolution. I'm going to set the resolution to 25 and set the loop to play whack. Now when I hit on, when I hit on play. All right, this is just looping unless see how it's going. Okay, so now this really looks good. It's really looking so good. So I'm going to pause that. And now it is time for us to really address this fire to make it loop. So we're gonna click on the video group who don't control C. Again, try to transform this to fit in with the fire. I'm going to drag this down just like that. But first I wanted to turn off every adjustment layers that I have here, leaving only the fire so that I can really blend that in. Now I'm going to drag this and drop it here. Now we have the video group right here. So I'm gonna hit Control C and try to transform these very well to really look at, okay, so I'm going to drag it down to this part right here, but this is not really looking strokes I were to click on the layer marks to that group would have video group praised and be key to select the brush to measure my foreground color is set to black. And I'm just going to erase some of these areas right here. Right now I can take the play head back. So let us really see, okay. Measures go forward in time. You know, we just go into erase everything here. We're just going to erase everything. Now let's play this and see. This is looking good. So unless you don't control C, select the whole layer. I hit Control C to transform a ledgers. Drag this up a little bit. Just like that. Click on, Okay, now let's zoom out. And then I'm going to return this back to 2% so that it's going to be clear in order for us to see. I'm just going to hit on the space bar. That's looking good. Now I'm going to turn on all the adjustment layers. Now I'm going to hit on play unless really see where it's going. Alright, this is really looking good. This is really looking. Or some like, I love these. Alright, so there is something lives we need to do now. But when you look at these, you can see it's splaying very fast. It's superficially removing slew, little bit slow, but we are going to work on that. We'll go into Premier and jurists finalized this right here. So let me just go back or little b and now later split. This is looking good. It is really looking good. Now what we need to do is to make sure to apply all this right here again, right-click on the video layer and convert that into a smart object. Unless quickly see, alright, now, the video is playing right here. So this is z. This is looking good. Right now what we're going to do leisure, see if we can walk only. So we're going to select this layer, select this last layer. Now you can make a duplicate of this if you want Control J. And now scroll all the way down and turn off every layers you have below because you don't want to, you don't need them. Select the first group and select the large group. Kiran, Control G and double-click on dad's anime that as a backhaul. This is actually about cobe Iran Enter and I'll turn of that layer. Now you wanted to select this one, the city's background. You want to select that one and select the last one by holding down Shift. And I want to right-click and convert everything into a Smart Object. Hey, everything is converted into a smart objects. So let's see what's going on right here. There's gonna hear them play ledge. Really see this is playing right now, and that is absolutely fine. But when you look right here, you can see that it's not really filling out the whole screen. So I'm just going to do you don't control it. See you again. Just zoom out a little bit. Skewed is just a Li2 click on, Okay. And now he don't control Zero to fit the screen. This is really looking good. Now, I can drag these smart filter and drop it on the spot. But before I do that, I just wanted to rename this. I'm gonna double-click on that and just name that finer. Aidan. Okay. Now, I can just drag this in drapey right here. Let's really see what's going on. Alright, This is amazing. It is really looking nice. Now we can just move the play head and see, yeah, this is released his plane and is really looking good. In the next lesson, we will go in and see how we are going to export our artwork as video and finalize this in Premier. 13. Exporting Your Artwork: Talk about experts in our adsorb from Photoshop. As for video, now we are going to export this as a video in Photoshop. Go into Premier, do to find out the g's and then we're still going to export that as a video in Premiere. But one thing you need to understand that what we want to do in Premier, you just to slow down the fire to make it relu, good, Just really know if it's truly going fast. It's wouldn't be that nice Bowman to fire up. It's going slew. It's really make a lot of sense, give a whole lot of dimension to our artwork, attraction to our adsorb, that is where we want to achieve. But first of all, let's finish out with exploring as a video in Photoshop. Now we can go over, I guess we don't need these two layers anymore because we have our final answer. I'm going to select both of them here ON delete. And don't always, don't always forget to hear on Control S Whenever you are, you've got some certain progress of your ads work now to render these are the video in Photoshop, whereas helps to go over it. So phi scroll all the way down to where we have experts and scroll all the way down. So here we have random video. Click on, Okay. Give it some time. It is your hands and put everything together and bring up a new window for you which you are going to use to get your videos decisions you want it to be and also export your artwork. Alright, so now here we are in the Render Video tab in Photoshop, we have several options which we can use. We have the limb. If you want to change the name, you can go ahead and change the name right there bumpers, you're going to leave mine to the comp. And if you want to create, solve for that on this desktop, and of course, yes, I wanted to create sub-folders and I'm just going to name these com. That is a sub folder I want to create and render engine. We want to make useful Adobe Media Encoder or you want to make yourself Photoshop sequence of, of course, I wanted to make use of Adobe Media Encoder. And I'm going to live that the format, where do you want to make yourself, do you want to make use opaque disease for it? I was going to turn it into an MP4 or you want to make use of the QuickTime format, I'm going to leave that to the H.264. That is what I use. And coming over as it is Pi, we have the document size, what the community says wanted to make his I'm gonna leave it to the third because this is huge D and represent what quality you wanted to make user. I'm going to leave that to high-quality. And the frame rate is 30 frames per seconds and the deferred, it is obvious that if frames per seconds and I'm going to set that title frame per second, then fill that, just leave everybody at the end the way it is. Expert ratio, depending on where you want to do, boundaries are gonna do that. I wouldn't say it's a queer. Go ahead and set it to square. I'm just going to leave that in a document 1.1. And the range, this is very important. So right here we have 400 and that's eighth frame in the whole video playlists in plane right here, 438 free. If you have any particular place where you want to frame this that all this later say you wanted to frame to start in ledger. Say I wanted to film to start from into frame and export. And why did you start from Trinity frame and export everything from 20-foot since you want frame upward up to 408 frame, you can go ahead and do that, but I don't want these. I'm going to go to work in areas. I'm just going to take this down bucks 0 and come down to this, but work in areas with 024149. That is all I wanted to do quality. When you click on the drop-down menu, you want to see a rich rays, ray trace. Finally, I'm going to leave that open GL because I didn't know much about that, but I'm just going to set that to open geo now, once you've done with all the hosts settings and so on, you just wanted to hit on these rent out birds in right here and Photoshop, it's going to start rendering your video for you. Now, these stages go into based on your PC, how fast your PCEs, or how fast your PC can process, or a scan of stops, it will be seize a little bit of slow day. You wanted to get a cup of coffee or you just want to do some scenarios. Maybe you just want to watch Netflix and chew or you just wanted to do some nails and width for Photoshop to finish rendering. Now we'll learn to express it in Photoshop less quickly. Preview what we're going to hit the Windows key. Plus E on my keyboard to open up the Windows Explorer, I'm just going to browse through in my second screen and just open up the dura we have. Okay, so here is the mp4. We have exploded from Photoshop and we'll have that at 0.9 megabyte. So I'm going to right-click and open up. We'd, I'm just going to reproduce with Windows Media Player and I'm going to drag it into this. I'm going to drag it into dispersal less quickly than, alright, this is where the n is really looking good. Now, you can keep this way if you like it like this, or you can still proceed in Premier right now. I'm just giving you a cooler. Is that and I'm going to clear this up Photoshop. I've already saved that and I'm going to clear this up Photoshop here. And Lord of Adobe Premiere is what we wanted to do. We just want to go over these products in new project. Click on the new project right here and you can give it a name. I'm just going to name that comp are the same way we have it in Photoshop. And right here you want to make sure that you have your render right here. When you click on the drop-down menu, you have. To select Mercury Playback Engine socio only omega0 Playback Engine GPU acceleration. Now, I'm not really going to go in depth to explain premium does is going to give you just a lead to understanding above this. It's doing this is talking about your graphics card. When you make these Mercury Playback Engine is talking about making use of the premium itself to perform all the tasks on your PC. But if you're talking about the Mercury Playback Engine, it's going to make use of the support of your graphics card to speed up your workflow in Photoshop. Now, speed up your workflow in Premiere. Once you've done with all these settings, just make sure to click on Okay, to take you into Premier. Alright, this is the basic endeavors of Premiere. When you open up Premiere for the first time, you might want to get the lemon tab right here, that is the learning tab you are going to get. But right now I said My into the editing. That is why it is like this. Right here we have all the tabs which you can use to edit your videos or do wherever it is you wanted to do in Premier. Right here we have the Phi style options which you can use to do one or two things, right? Instead of premium, right here we have the source clip. Wherever clip you have right ear. And when you click, double-click on that, it's going to show here is source clip, right here you have your project where you are going to drop all your project files, video or audio is pictures and so on. Drop them right here though we have the media browser, which you can use to browse Elizabeth, the accumulator, or some document and put them into Premier. I didn't have the libraries, which is your CC library, aggressive collaborative library. And here we have input is going to give you info about the videos already I had them you have selected on your project section right here. They'll have the effects out. The effects are available in Premiere, just like the filters available in Photoshop. And right here we have markers, here we have the timeline. You are going to see the video and play head right here, just as we have in Photoshop when we are working with the timeline in Photoshop, this you just have it right here and right here we have the program. This is where you are going to see your video wherever it leads in you I'm doing right here, wherever if there's your outline on your clips right here, you are going to be seen everything right here live on your, your premium. Now I'm just going to input my video right into premium. I'm going to find a comp for that which is right here. And I'm just going to drag, drag and drop it in this spot where we say import media to start when a click and drop it right there. Alright, so now you can see that I have the video input into premium, but now we need to get this into timeline. It proprietary DDoS, we just have to go over at phi, come down to this virus, the new, come down to the next part and click on sequence is going to help us to create a new sequence. Well, I'm not going to go in depth and explain all these, but you just want to click on a frame rate that match your own video. For you to know the frame risks that much of Vireo just want to come to your video right-click and locate the police Dies sei provides these, which is right here. Click on the Properties and it's going to open up the Properties panel in a if you just wanted to do anything, you guys want to locate it just the frame rate, which is right here. So right here you can see that we'll have the frame which sets that are frames per seconds, going to close that, go back to File New and then sequence, create a new sequence and make sure I'm just going to deselect these. The NX HQ, then ATP two into 9.97 frames per seconds. You want to see it right here. If we can find that. If you're near sequence, if you're new, if you're a new sequence window is slightly so you just want to locate the DNA and click on that. You want to locate the one that match the particular frame you are looking for right here, you can see that we have no dataframe per seconds itself right here. So here's want to locate the one that's close to what you want to make use of. So right here I'm just going to make use of the ten HCP two into 9.7. Since 9.97 frames, that is what I'm going to use. Instead of that, I'm just going to select the DMNX HQ, then ATP 2.979 frames per seconds. And right here you have the sequence name. I'm just going to name that too. Again. I'm just going to name that to camp. And right here I can click on Okay, when I click on Okay, you can see that will have something going on right here in our time. Here we have video will be due on video to video three, audio one, audio to audio three and audio four. This is telling stories that display head right here it's for video and this one here it's for the audio. Now you can also see a little bit of a demarcation right here that you can see. Right here, you can see now in our program we have the black screen right here. We just didn't notice that we don't have any clip available right here. Odors have to do you just need to click and drag that video which will input in suprema and drop it into your timeline. Now in case you get this popup right here, that's this clip does not match the sequence settings change sequence to match. The clip settings are what edges I'm just going to hit onward, keep existing, but you can also just click on that. I'm gonna keep it exists in right here because what the host settings is still the same thing. How my video as if ten ECP, 30 frames per seconds. And I also have my sequences as TCP and 30 frames per seconds. That is now right here. You can see that at this part right here I'm having the yellow playhead, that's because of my graphics card. If you are having the red playhead, he just wanted to hit on Enter to render your video. When I come down to these by heat on Play, you can see that we have in plane right here, which is really looking good, but looking at this part right here now we have these sparse sets of foo. If by any chance This was freezing your PC of giving you some kind of issues, right? I just wanted to come down to this part and click on the resolution and just want to set it to maybe one over two or just one or two or four depending on your PC. But for me it's really okay right here, the source monitor I'm telling you about. If I double-click on this video clip right here, you can see it's here. Now, if I need any part of this video clip or there's some part I don't need to let us say I need this beginning. I can put in endpoint, and I need this part right here. I can put in outpoint now this part and this part won't be included in the video. And if you just want to clear that you can just, um, can just right-click on this file and just click in and out, and it's going to disappear. Now I have everything right here, which is these two now everything that I wanted to do is I just want to slow this down a little bit. So there are several ways of doing that. You can just right-click on the clip and you can go to speed and duration. You can now type in dispute he wants to put in right here. So right here you can see that iteration is set to 000429 seconds. You can just see that right here. Now, if you wanted to increase that and you can see this purity sets a 100, you can just click on that part and lasers to one hundred, one hundred fifty percent of the speed and click on. Okay, you can now see that the duration of our clip has been extended to somewhere around nine seconds. So when I take this back, now you can see that we have resets in nine seconds. Now when we're here on the play, you can really see how slew and really nice looking so much good. Now there is something I really wanted to show. There is no way you can do this aside. I'm just right-clicking enclave and go over to speed and duration. Now when you come down to this part right here, when you click and hold down your mouse-click, or when you right-click, I can even right-click. When you right-click on the screen, when you click on this little arrow right here, it is. Go into Open. Nope, everything. You can see that we have the rich stretch through right here. When you click on that and select that which stretch two. From here, you can increase the duration and you can decrease the duration. And I went, I click on Play. You can see how slow it is right here. When I click and drag it back, later sits somewhere around here. When I click on here, you can see how fast it is. And I don't want something like that. I really wanted to be a little bit slow to somewhere around later, see ten seconds. It's really fine for this clip. And I'm going to hit on Play. And now this is what I have right here. I really love these leisure. See, it makes it look cinematic later, say 12 is okay, and I will go back, hit on play and leisure. Really see what's going on right here. Now this is really looking at are so absolutely fine, really nice. Alright, so this is how I want it to be. If you want to add a music, you can just drag and music and put it right here. But for now edges, I guess I just want to make these.
