Setting up ChatGPT: In this lesson, we are going to talk about how to set up ChatGPT. Setting up ChatGPT, it's very easy. You just have to go to the website and open an account. Once you open an account, then you are done. There's nothing else for you to do. You can start making use of ChatGPT. Well, let me walk you through the process. So just open up your browser. Any browser of your choice can work perfectly for you. You can make use of group, you can make use of fire folks, you can make use of Microsoft Edge. You can also make use of Brave browser or also apparently, in this lesson I'm going to be making use of Microsoft Edge. I find myself making use of Microsoft Edge these days. I really don't know why. Maybe it's because I can easily import my Chrome browser history into Microsoft Edge. Maybe there's really no, maybe I just like Microsoft Edge recently, but it doesn't really matter. So you want to go to chart the Open ai.com. Once you tap on that, you just want to hear on anther on your keyboard and mercury, you are connected to the network. Now mistakenly at this as such, well, make sure you don't put any space after the remaining dots so that you don't end up and Research window just like me. So now just click on the first one. If by any chance you end up India is such window just like me click on the first one and it's going to take you into the main interface of ChatGPT. Now, I already have an account login. That is why it just opened up for me right here. But if you don't have an account, logins leisure side, Zoom, I'm going logout right now. So if you're winning needs for the very first time, when you go over to this link, which is a chat Open ai.com, you are going to get this right here. You have the option to login or you have the option to sign up. Now, a quick way to easily log into the chat that OpenAI websites for you to be able to interact with ChatGPT, you can easily click on the login. And when you click on the login, even if you don't have an account, you don't need to worry about clicking on Login. You want to click on continue with go-go, continue with Microsoft account, or continue with Apple. You can pick on anyone wants to pick on that. It just needs to grant mission or just allow some certain ourselves to that particular account you are making use of. Once you grant odors as soon as you can easily login to ChatGPT just from the Gogo lacquer on Microsoft account or your Apple account. But since I already have an account separately, I'm going to click on Continue. And that is going to pop up for me to put my password. By default. I already saved the login details since it is my PC. So I'm going to hear on Continue. And that is going to take me into the ChatGPT interface. And this is, this is how it's going to be. For some reason, course is going to go Wait a minute for the very first stem. So you want to go over to settings. That is, if you want to change it, you want to go over to settings and under degenerate dub, you get a theme right here. You can click on anyone you want to make his own. Right now it's making use of my system. The first thing, which is pretty cool, I love it. So whenever we can use White's team on my system is going to switch back to light. It really depends on Newbury for one your interface to be that continuously just set it to dark. And that is how is it going to be when you login from one PC to another, it is going to build that. Now once you're done, login in, that if you are logging in for the first time, you go into get some purple brooms. When you get this popup rooms, you can just easily next to them or go through them so that you can really understand what it is all about. So now, once you are done, you can now start interacting with ChatGPT. So this is how you can easily set up ChatGPT. And the next lesson we're going to start making our idea Research which ChatGPT you remember in this course, we don't know what you want to do. We'll want to make use of ChatGPT to help us find out what we are going to do. Naphtha goes in what we are going to do, then we will go in with our own hand instead grazing that inside of Photoshop. See you guys in the next lesson? 3. 2. Making Research: Welcome to this lesson. I hope you are really having a great time with the course and you are lending a lot. Now, I'm not going to wish your time clicking on my keyboard, trying to type in one prompt or the other. In order to save all this time, I have already created all the problems I will be typing in or asking ChatGPT so that ChatGPT will be able to generate ideas and help me refine these two sums in a will be able to use on my second monitor right here, already have the first prompt which I'm going to be using. And you can find this prompt in the project section if you want to make use of it, you can go ahead and make use of it. You can easily copy them and stab them in into your own. Send a message box on your inner ChatGPT. Okay, So the first one right here is going to right-click and paste it. So the first one right here is, I want to make a fantasy portrait photo manipulation. Can you give me five ideas to pick from? Okay, Now, one thing you need to keep in mind when you are communicating with ChatGPT. You want to communicate as if you're communicating with a human being, respirate, you are going to give human, you are thinking to, you want to give that same kind of restaurant right here. Now, it's not really your moisturizers final, that it's really okay. Ears just feels like you're communicating with a human but you don't just sit human, you just doing that true therapy in and you get in your response, also true typing. So now once you're done with your first problem there is typing. What you want to ask ChatGPT. You want to heat on the enter key, or you want to click on this triangle icon right here, all these send message button right there. You click on that ChatGPT, it's going to answer you and I'm going to think a little bit of time. Read the first important aspect of this answer will have right here. So certainly here are for your fantastic portrait photo manipulation ideas you can choose from. So the first time we have magical forest, magical forest gradient. Second, we have simple Explorer. The fourth one we have musical Miami slash Merman referred to when we have firewood in and straightforward in saucer and sorceress, then the fields we have heavily Cilicia be, now go through all these. Once you find the one you want to pick from, you can now tell ChatGPT to elaborate more on that. Okay, so let's assume a one, big number two. Number two is where I want to now go over some where I saved my prompt. Again, I am going to right-click and copy that. And this time I'm going to paste in. This is what I want next, the second one says that give me more duties on number two. Now, whatever number you pick right there, maybe you picked number four, you pick number five, you pick number one, you pick them, but they just want to put in number right there. Give me more details on that particular number. Now why should done with that, just click on Send message and allow ChatGPT to also generate this for you. Now ChatGPT, it's going to go in details, explaining the number two for you, giving you different kinds of details and how you are going to make your own photo manipulation using this idea, ChatGPT generic. Okay, let's take a look at it. Suddenly, here are more details on simple Explorer fantasy for the Manipulation, idea and number CSU, It's simple punk Explorer. Okay, so let's scroll all the way down. Theme, simple Explorer, description, male fantasy with the industrial era by transforming a portrait into Esteem Punk character who embodies the spirit of adventure and discovery. These concepts combined Victorian aesthetics with mechanical elements, creating a unique and into gene visual our stack. So subjects we have chosen portrait of a person who fits the character of the steam punk Explorer. Outfit and accessories, dress the subject instance bunk, inspired at DIA derived you have mechanical Enhancement, Integrate mechanical elements into the subject appears right here we have background. Choose a vintage sepia tone background that complement the steam punk. See exactly what we're talking about. It's important. It's all about a vintage color or something like you knew, washed out colors, something like that. The special effect adds theme or smooth Effects to the image to enhance the sense of adventure and measure color palette, typically, steampunk imagery. M bruce warm at Seton such as brown, culpa brands and safe. Yeah, exactly. This is what steampunk is all about. This is really, really clear. And finally, we have the extra and filters Consider applying textures like paper or distress meta to the image to give it an antique. All with that look. Now, this is really looking like it's really okay for you to just follow up and start working. Now for integers X, one last question or make a last request, and you can proceed to the next step. Now, we really don't know what we want to create like visually, don't know what you want to create. Now we're generating the ideas with ChatGPT. We are enhancing the ideas written ChatGPT. Now we also need to visualize the ideas with another text To Image Generator. I'll making use of Adobe firefly. You can make use of anyone in the richest Adobe fireflies cylinder Beth, I'm worried right now there are so many you can try nodes. These don't need to be perfect because you are not using it. You just want to make use of VTE to visualize what you want to do. You just wanted to see that. And when you see, you can now proceed to find in your references are finding the stock images you want to make use of. Once you've gotten your stock images, you want to add into Photoshop and start manipulation. So finally, leisure, select the last problem I have right here. I'm going to right-click and copy. Come over to ChatGPT. And when right-click and paste, the last one I have right here is can you make text To Image prompt for number two, which is the same thing we request for more details. Now as you were doing all these things, you want to copy all these replies you get and paste it into one place. If you want to work offline, it is necessary. But if you are going to be working online and when I've been working online, that is, your PC is connected to the Internet, is a very easy for you to just come back to ChatGPT and starts guessing the ideas which you have already gotten before. I'm going to click on Send and that is going to generate that from, okay, certainly here is a text To Image prompt. What is Tim punk, Explorer, fantasy for the manipulation right here we have Export, create a portrait of a daring steam punk explorer ready to embark on an extraordinary adventure of the character is skewed, inventor, weird mix of Victorian fashion and mechanical Enhancement. The outfit includes a leather jacket, I don't with Browse button, go gurus perched atop the head and a collection of ship accessories in the background. Esteem Punk, ASU, so through the cloudy sky with gas and so on and so forth. So now you can see this is just a textbook we have. Now, this is what you will go into copy and paste it into Image Generator. So I'm going to copy these, Olivia for a moment. In the next lesson. I am going to be making use of Adobe Firefly to generate or visual idea of what I wanted to create. It is going to help. Butoh, this sense of what I want to create, like Make me to see what I want to. Remember. We're trying to work with AI right here to enhance our photo manipulation technique or our ad techniques. So now in the next lesson, it's going to be all about reefer flag. And first of all, I want you to understand the Firefly. It's not released for public use for now. It's still in the Beta version. If you want to get access, you just want to make request shoe your Adobe account, Valentina's side of that. You can make use of the E, you can make use of me journey. You can make use of so many your that text To Image Generator and something that is really so much amazing. These if you are making use of the edge versus the new binge, you can also get access to this text To Image for them to generate though, that is also included in the new bins. You can see that right here. You can easily click on that and you'll be able to assess ChatGPT. I'm going to see you guys in the next lesson. 4. 3. Text To Image Generator: This lesson, we're going to be making use of a text To Image Generator, where we are going to be putting in this room, right? It, there are several text To Image Generator you can make use of like mid journey, the E, stupid effusion. And so they are so many out there you can make use of. But in this course, I am going to be making use of Adobe Firefly. Firefly is still in beta mode and not available to everyone out there. But if you have an Adobe account, you can also apply and you will be granted access to Adobe Firefly. I really don't know how the grant access to people. Maybe if they find out that you have been using Photoshop for some time or you have the icon for some time. Or maybe if yours have the account, you can easily apply. When I first the portrait's Apply, I was unable to access it correctly, so but I really tried to apply again and I was able to apply. And few days later I got in and I was able to make use of Adobe Firefly. Okay, So how about text To Image prompt right here. So we'll go over to our browser and go into another tab. And I'm just going to type firefly.adobe.com already have it right here. I'm just going to Hero. And that's it. Take me into the website as it keeps loading. I can now go over to my ChatGPT and just copied this measure. You don't copy the text prompt, right? Haters copy VA, you have this colon right here. And then you stopped at a place where you have the second column. Then you want to right-click and click on Copy, go into the text To Image Generator you want to make useful, as you can see, the interface of attribute firefly, we have a lot going on right here. We have the text image. We have degenerative fee, which is now available in Photoshop beta. We have the text effects which you can use. And we also have degenerative and we color among all the available options to choose from right here. This is the one I have not used. I can't really tell how it works. Right here, the one we're going to be making use of its text To Image. Now, if you already have access to these Adobe firefly, you want to make sure you sign in. If you're not saying you are going to be getting a sign-in button right here. So you want to click on generate alpha, you sign-in. And once you've signed in, you are going to get all these options right here. So now if you want to pick from anyone, you can just hover your mouse and anyone. You are also going to get the prompt right here, and you can just click on it and you're going to try it out. Or you can just come down to this part right here and click on try upfront. But since we already have our own rooms, we are going to type it in right here, are just paste it right here. Now, if you are generating the problems from your head, you want to make sure you arrange your words accurately and you make use of a better English. And right here where you see what we have right here, it's English only measured in English, and they are very, very clear for anyone to understand. So I'm going to right-click and paste that prompt right here. Well, this is so much long, but I'm just going to hear on generate unless see what a rubber Firefly it's going to come up with. Just gonna give it some time to load. Okay? This is really cool. It is really amazing. It literally looking so good. This is the problem, and this is what came out right here. I know most of you are going to feel like, yeah, this is a good result. You can just proceed with this one right here. You don't need to do anything. Well, we generating these. It's not for us to just pick on anyone right here and make use of it. It is for us to see what we are going to create and how we go into actually achieve this. So now you have the idea of the kind of photo you are going to look for, what you are going to find and everything you want to find. Now, it is time for you to pick the one that you really like the most. You can pick from anyone right here. And that is really going to be frank. But for me, I feel like a, like this one a little bit because we have the spaceship also showing right here. And it is really cool. So now you can come down to this part right here and click on this icon. Let's see, show similar. When you click on that, it is going to generate more option of this particular one we have right here. So ledgers give it some time for me to generate. Okay? So we have different ocean, right? So now you can pick from any option right here. Now I think this is really okay, we have a lot right here going on and also this one. So now once you find the one new one peak, you can easily just click on that. In the United is going to open it full for you. You can just download it right here. You don't need to bud out about scaling this up and X2 and because you are not making use of this, okay, so now what you are going to do next is just for you to download. Once you don't downloading, it is time for you to start looking for your store. Now, take a little bit of time and imagine how easy this is now looking. It is really looking so much easily. Imagine when you want to use your time to start developing notice ideas and trying to make everything come to life and so on. How long is it going to take you? Well, I feel like I like this one right here. I have something GMHC going on right here. And it is really cool and amazing. I love this right here. Now.

You can also, or you don't have it. You can also generate everything right here. So we'll go in and now we are going to generate most of the photo we're going to be using inside of Adobe firefly. And now pleasures download this one as reference. We're going to click on Download. Now according to Adobe. So we have some things right here. Promoting transparency in AI. Adobe is committed to promoting transparency around content generated with AI tools like Adobe for your flight.

Now when like you can click on Done, sure. If like you can just leave it that we I'm just going to hit on Continue. Now, the only disadvantage about this, it's that we are going to be getting a watermark of Adobe Firefly on our food. Okay, So now we have one. You can easily download everything and combine them together. It's all on new. Everything is done right here and now I can just go out of this. I'm going to download only this one. This is the one I'm going to be using, but just for reference sake, I'm going to select others, download every one of them so that I can just refer back to anyone of them, pixels from each and everyone of them, and just make use of it, combine everything together. And that is what I am going to do. Now. They are not really perfect. We still have some issues right here, but you don't need to worry about that. Okay? So now we are done downloading everything, every style for us to go inside, generating most of our images with the AI. And I'm going to see you guys in the next lesson. 5. 4. Generating Your Photos: In this lesson, we are going to be generating our asset. Some of the asset with Adobe Firefly, like I said, you can make use of any text To Image Generator like me journey, the E step with that fusions and so on, you can make use of it. Now the reason why I'm making use of Adobe Firefly is that I'm a big fan of Adobe and in my whole carrier into the digital world when it comes to designing ads, Photography, video editing. So an avid making use of Adobe and I also learned with Adobe. So I just really find your product really suitable for me and I really wanted to stick with it. Alright, Enough of that. Intro ledgers get right into the main point of this lesson. Alright, so now firstly, we are going to be generating, we're going to be generating a steam punk character. You can easily find ODs on stock website like Deviant Art. You can also go on our station, you are going to get some of these bomb literally sure. If they are free, if they are free, you can get them. There are no free. You can also purchase them, support or creators. It's really going to help. Now you can also check on Pixabay, on splash, and even Adobe Stock. Adobe Stock, it's not free to as well. Now I'm going to leave a link to most of ODEs website, the free ones and the paid ones. So you can check any one over Js. But if you also want to make use of AI, you are absolutely free. You can just try that and see how it is going to be, but everything is going to be compiled inside of Photoshop. Okay, so now we're going to find the main part right here that talks about the character, the case. So what we have right here is create a portrait of a darin steam punk explorer ready to embark on an extraordinary adventure. The character's skewed in Vento. We as a mix of Victorian fashion and mechanical Enhancement. The outfits includes a leather jacket or don't with Browse button, go gurus page at the object head and a collection of gas shipped accessories. Now, this isn't the background, this is for your main character itself. So what we're going to do, we're going to copy from here also the site and we're going to right-click. We'll go into court said the remainder. Once we have right here, we are going to highlight everything and just right-click and click on. Now we'll only have this one and the background, we're just going to put a white solid color. Okay, So now we have just play around with the prompt and let's hit on January. But first before we hit on January 1, these to be a real photo, not more like an ad. We're going to come down to this part right here and click on photo. And secondly, we also wanted to refold, right? So we're going to come down to the aspect ratio right here. Click on the aspect ratio right here and make it if they went for portrait. So we're going to click on that and allow Adobe fight-or-flight. Do it infers. Ok, so good, something good. But we have a little bit of an arrow right here. This is looking good. Fishes looking nice. I really loved the face and everything. And this one too is also looking good. But we have a little bit of an issue with the body and I think elicit bit of a Audi Louis, it's a little bit faulty. And this one is really good, but the first is a little bit disturbed. And this one is absolutely fine. Absolutely. But I don't think I want to make use of this guy. I need something like old lady. Okay, so we're going to click on this and click right here to show similar. Let's see what we are going to get. The only issue I have with this one is the incomplete head and the body. This part of the body, it's not really looking good. N12. And you need to keep in mind when you are using AI exponentially text To Image rooms. You need to make sure you need as much as you want to give you exactly what you are looking for. It's going to take a little bit of time, but if it kept doing it, you are going to get what you want. Okay, we've got something nice. But this one is looking good. It's be Jagger. The leg is not a really cool, is not much in life, something I can make use of. We have this one right here, but the face is now really looking good. So what do you think? We're not going to be making use of this one? I also like this one. First I'm going to click on this one to pop it on my screen. And I'm going to click on download so that I can save this one first because I like this one. This is another option I can make use of if I couldn't get and it's in good. Now I'm just going to go out of that. Now, this one is really good. I love this one variable, but the neck is not really looking good. So I'm going to come down to this part right here and click on show similar. Let me see if Adobe Firefly, I can give me something nice that it's really going to look a little bit good. Or maybe, I don't know. Ledger see. Okay. We've got something later with nice nice I think I load this one too, but there is little bit issue with the eyes. Let's click on that to zoom in a little bit. I can zoom in that much right here. There's less of an arrow with the eyes, but every other thing is looking good. Just the eyes is having a little bit of error. So it's not really looking good to me. So I'm going to leave that again, but I'm going to select this one.

Body only issue we have right here is that we need to switch these back to landscape location. Now, come down to this expert ratio right here, and I'm going to click right here and put it to widescreen, which is 16.9 ratio. Okay, and now let Adobe generate stuff first. Okay, This is good. They're very beautiful, really looking good. I think I wanted to make the ads or more of a fantasy, some tomorrow fantasy and so on. So I'm going to click on this one to get something more. Yeah, I'm just liking everything I'm seeing right here. So I go, this really seems well we are working on it's not a full body portraits. We're just going to walk with a, How about the portrait?

But overall, if you have any versions of Photoshop, you can easily create this inside of Photoshop. The first thing we're going to do, we are going to open up Photoshop. I'm just going to quickly hold Windows cubed plus a cue to open up my sketch books and I've already searched for Photoshop, so I'm going to click on it. This is what I'm going to be making use of. This is the current version of Photoshop to 4.5. This is the one we're going to be making use of. Like I said, you can make use of any version. So I'm going to click on Open to open the Photoshop. Now, depending on your PC configuration, it might take so long to open. It might be fast while Open independent on your PC configuration. Okay, here we are inside of Photoshop to nature in the three. And right now you're saying all the jobs I've worked on previously. This is based on Photography, this is vision Photography and this is based on Digital Art, just Lightt study and so on. When you open Photoshop for the very first time, this is the screen you are going and get those. You won't be having anything on diary sent out because you have not worked on any projects that the moment you start working on projects, we have document or previous document you've worked on, on diary Send tab right here you are gonna get different option to whom this is why you are seeing right here. This is the whom. You are also going to be having a length AB option when you click on that, it's going to give you so many tutorials which you can use to start working in Photoshop. And you also have your files which you can browse wanted to share with you. Also delete advice. You can go ahead and play with ODEs to see what it is all about. Now at the top we have the buyers in Photoshop, the tabs which you can use through performance. I'm sets in functions or actions inside of Photoshop. Then we also have the new phi, which can use to create a new document. Now, if you want to create a new document, you just have to click on New is going to pop up the New Document window for you in Photoshop. And from here you will be able to know the kind of the community one, great. Now if you want to create something like a Photo, Print, an illustration designed for the web or add for the web mood by film and video, you can just easily who Botswana vote this tab and select one of the preset details you have right there. I can click on Add an illustration system into part. Already have 1,000, 1,000 pixel and 300 pixels per inch. And I have 2000, 2000 have a poster size and also how postdoc postcard now, depending on the one you want to make his own. But if by any chance, the one you want to make use of, it is not available as a preset for you. Now. It's not like that is the end of villagers have to close off Photoshop because you don't have the document size you want to make use of when you look at it, right? But you are going to sit that is called preset details. From here you can dial in your own digits of resizes you want to make user or decides you want to make use of work or to design or to create, add inside of Photoshop. And for this course, we are going to be making use of a portrait. Now, I always make use of a 3,000 by 4,000 size whenever I am working inside of Photoshop. So that is what I'm going to do, especially when I paint. I've not know much of a fan of portrait photo manipulation. It's always a landscape photo manipulation. That is what I've been doing. So I'm just going to be working with the portrait Reiner's. I'm going to put in 3,000 and make use of the tab. Or you can easily come down to this part right here and type in 4,000. Now you want to set it to be zero. That is, if you want to work with pre-exist. But since we are doing a Photo Manipulation and it's something for the web or something that is going to steal digital. We want to make use of big cell, but if it's for prints can go with inches, centimeter or anyone you want to add. Now you can come down to this part right here and inputs the name of your Art. That is, whatever it is you want to name your ad, but nodes, you can do this later and I'm going to show you how to do this later. Then right here we'll have the pixel per inch width needs to stay that way orientation, if you want to switch between landscape and portrait, you can easily click right here to switch between them. And if you want add bird, you can also check that to add an advert. For the column mood, I'm going to leave it to RGB, eight bit, I'm going to leave it to 8-bit. Now more on these, you are going, if you want to understand all this, you just wanted to take extra time to check on different tutorials. I'm screwed. I'm going to explain that very, I'm not going to be covering that in this course. Right here we have the background. What do you want the background to be? Default is white. You can change this right now or you can change this later. Nobody even do is usually create a new document with the white background because you have the option to change that Luther inside of Photoshop. And for your color profile, we are going to stick with walking RGB, which is write it as RGB. But most of it that is, most people make use of Adobe RGB and so on. But for this, we are going to seek to RGB and the pixel aspect ratio we're going to set at square pixels. And now we can just click on Create. And this is going to take us inside of Photoshop. Now, if you have Photoshop CC 23, rational, you can get this bar right here. Now he's going to feel like you're Photoshop. It's different from mine. No, it's not different units updates your Photoshop. We'll go over to help me scroll all the way down to about Photoshop and click on that window is going to open up, giving notice that there is a recurrent version of Photoshop we are making use of right now. And we'll look at this butt right here. It is two to 4.5, 0.0. This is the current version I'm using right now. And this is what it is going to look like if you are making use of this same version. Now, if you are making use of the same version, but you can see this bar right here. It is actually called the contextual attacks. But if you can see the contests to attacks, but you just go over to Windows and scroll all the way down that says contextual tabs where I here, just click on that and you are going to have with greatest, if I click on that is going to disappear. And we now go back to Windows again and scroll all the way down to contextual task bar and click on it. It is going to bring the right here. Now I don't want that for now, so I'm just going to take that away to give them a Photoshop blend as it is. So this is the interface of Photoshop. Like I said, I'm going to be giving you guys a crash course about Photoshop within some minute. Not everything you need to understand about Photoshop. So right here we have the toolbar right here, and right here we have for some panniers which we are going to be using to walk. Now, most of retailers, we wouldn't be doing something difficult inside of Photoshop. We are going to be making use of automation, like want to make our selection. We are going to be making use of the Photoshop selection future of a liberal in Photoshop right now at available in Photoshop currently, that is going to help us speed up the selection process inside of Photoshop. We just have to go in and refine it or add elites who are thick. It leads you away from the current selection we have. Now, Photoshop, is that as difficult as it is before? Because most of the things inside has been simplified for us because of AI and so on. But is also advise the boot loader but Photoshop because sometimes AI fears when it fears you have to fall back to your rescue. And if you don't have the rescue, which simply means you are just going to condemn that project or you get someone else to complete the project for you. One thing I want to show you, it's coming down to your Layers panel and first and you want to do, you just right-click and measure that you have the medium-term layer selected. Now, that is going to help expand your thumbnail to make it a little bit bigger for you to see where you are doing. I really love these that we're making use of. This mirrored in Photoshop for so many years and I can make use of Photoshop without enabling this right now. Okay, So this is just a little bit of how you can create a document inside of Photoshop. And not just to create a document inside of Photoshop. Little bit of a crash course are Photoshop for you to understand and know how to get started with Photoshop. Now in the next lesson, we're going to start assembling our stock onto this new document with great dates. Finally, create our Photo. Manipulation is going to be a less of the human stress but more of AI stress. But after over a counter, any issue right here inside of Photoshop, we are going to Telco data and make sure we produce a better adsorb. And I'm going to see you guys in the next lesson. 7. 6. Assembling For Photos: In this lesson, we're going to start putting now AI-generated for this to get out to create a photo manipulation. So first, I'm going to drag that into the screen and I'm going to double-click on needs to open up the folder. It's a first-in-first-out. We need to start by loading our brush into Photoshop. I'm going to right-click. Now you want to make use of windrow or you want to make use of 7-Zip. Or if there is any other software you can use to unzip zip document or a rat document. But these are the two I have used and I know the work perfectly, but right now I have only when write installed on my PC and that is where I'm going to be using. We'll go over to interact and click on extract two clouds to keep everything organized. Now it's going to extract those brushes into a folder for me. Now, when I double-click on before that opening, am going to get the brushes right here. Okay, so first I'm going to drag this into the second monitor for a moment. Now go into your Photoshop. Go to Windows. That is, if you don't see your brush by nearby, if you have your brush binary right here, just like me, you want to go over to Windows and scroll all the way down to your final brush panel. When you find a brush pen and click on it, it's going to automatically open for you right here. But if you want to close it, you can just click on this area right here and it is doing clues. The brush panel for you. So now I want to load that brush into fiduciary, that is the cloud brush into Photoshop one alluded. Now, want to look at VA, you save that cloud brush you have downloaded. And now once you have your Photoshop panel open up, that is the brush panel. Go over to the folder, endures, click and drag the brush and move it into Photoshop and move into the empty area of your brush brand-new. Now we move into the empty area of a brush brand-new, you are going to get this option that says Copy. And once you see this just released the left-click on your mouse and that is going to look your brush into Photoshop for you. And I will click on this drop-down arrow beside the folder icon. You are going to get all the whole brushes inside of the brush back. Okay, so now we'll have the brush. It is time for us to start bringing in our AI-generated photos into Photoshop, okay, first-in-first-out. We'll go into domain for that where we have all the host Docs we are going to be using. The main thing needed are already available. So first thing we need to check the idea which we want to be making use. If you remember very well, you note that receive some good ideas which we are going to be making use of 3D, something like this. I'm going to double-click on this to open up in my Photo Viewer. Click on that, click on that again, double-click on that and it's going to open up inside my Photo Viewer. So right here we have the ones we can use and CD1, that is really going to be okay for us. Okay, well have these as it cooled sample which we can use a lag be clouds right here, but I really can't tell if we can manipulate this kind of cloud. The cloud brush with downloaded and let's move over to this part right here. We'll go over to the rest of over enlist move over. That is all we have right here. So what we are going to be using right now, we're going to be using these. This is what we are going to be using as our REF. We're going to be using these as what we want to create bar. You can add different things, different option into your own manipulation depending on how you want less do, but this is where we are going to be using. So first I'm going to drag this into Photoshop as well. So I'm going to drag look for it, and that is it right here. I'm going to click and drag and move it up to this part, right? And women, I see copy. I'm going to release the click again and it's going to place that into Photoshop. But this time we want to place these site, but of all Photoshop so that will be able to look at it and work on our own manipulation. So we'll go over to this part right here and click and hold down the left-click to pull out the window. And I am going to release the left-click. It is going to place this some way just like this. So now I'm going to make do window a little bit smaller, just like this. And I'm gonna hold down Control plus spacebar and zoom out the whole space bar to pan and move around so that I will be able to see this correctly and do whatever it is I want to do. And this is absolutely fine. Now it's time for us to look for the particular reference we want to use. Okay, I'm gonna drag my folder into Photoshop again. So now let's quickly double-click on any of the picture idea to see the one we are going to be making user will have different option we picked from. This is looking good, but a hand isn't a really looking. Okay. We're not making use of this when we are also not making use of any one of these. So this is what we are going to be using. This is looking good, It's looking better. Let's take, we'll have another one right here. Now. This is absolutely fine. This is the one we are going to be using. So let's close every other thing right here. I'm going to move this folder into my second monitor right here, and I am going to drag that foot and drop it inside of Photoshop right here. And it's going to load. Now, it has load. You have a little bit of an issue right here, but that isn't so much of an issue writers want to make you take note of that. When you look at the bottom part right here, you can see that we have the Adobe Firefly watermark, right? And it's not really going to be healthy for our food. So the only thing we are going to do, we just have to crop these out, just can just drag over photo down and that is going to help us properly. Okay, so what we want to do now is to take away the background from our subject. Now, like I said, most of the things we are going to be doing, we're going to be an automatic method, very helpful Photoshop. I'm going to select any solution to our metrics and we'll go over to my toolbar and select the object selection. So that is going to automatically select the object selection tool. But that is not what we are going to be using right here. When you look at the top right there, you can see that we have two options. Option one, it selects the object and the option to select and mask, okay? But when you look at the select subject, besides the select subject, you can see that we'll have a little bit of an arrow right here. And when you click on that arrow is going to give us two options. The first option, device quicker result in the Cloud is detailed reasons why the difference between these two selection method we'll make use of the device. We will be getting a better selection, at least is going to do a nice job for us. But it's going to be faster for How will we make makers of the Cloud. It is going to give us a well do data selection, but it's going to take a little bit of time. But only disadvantage with making use of the Cloud. It's that when need to have the Adobe Creative Cloud installed, probably, I can really come from that, but I already have the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app installed. Secondly, you need to be connected to the Internet. Once it's available on your PC, just click on the Cloud. And once you have that selected, just click on Select Subject. But you can also double check. We showed I have the cloud selected, which is right here. So now once it's selected, just click on Select Subject and allow Photoshop to do it too. Okay, so now we have our selection. This is where we have. Let's quickly, I'm gonna hit the V key on my keyboard to select the move to. I'm going to quickly zoom in a little bit and take a look at these variable, will have a nice lecture, not as much as a better selection. Ray, I think these are the most caliper says on device. I really can't tell why. Maybe there's, there's no merger of a network to help recessive from the Cloud, or maybe it's not connected. But this process on the device, and it gives us a good result. But just a little bit over one liter touches we need to do right here. So I'm going to take a little bit of time and work on all those touches, then we can continue. I'm going to select the Lasso too dense to add to selection. You can hold down the Shift key on your keyboard after this lecture. And to subtract from selection, you can hold down the author need to subtract from selection just like this. So I think we have a better selection right here. So the lesson for us to do is to add a layer mask. Now adding a layer mask is really good. Give me the option to do any modification you want to do Lidar. And I'm gonna come down to my Layers panel right here and come to the bottom part right here and click on this icon to add a layer mask. And is it going to automatically hide the background? First, like I said, we have a little bit of an arrow, which is the every Firefly watermark right here. So we're just going to hit on Control C. But before we do that, one, right-click right here and convert this into our smart object. A quick note, where is the smart object? Smart object in Photoshop? It's like a container that help us to stack multiple layers onto each other, giving us the ability to go back and added odors Lee as individually. And aside of that, a smart object also help us to stack filters on top of one layer. Also given her is the ability to go back and edit those fields. Well, more on that, on the smart object layer that you are going to understand it when we start going in depth and doing some advice. Those are our food. Okay, so everything is looking a little bit, okay, right here. So I'm going to transform this smart. Obviously I will have right here. Now, the main reason I said of the reason I've already told you about the smart object. The main reason for smart object layer is that when we scale down or scaled men, we scale back, it is still going to retain the quality. So let's assume I hit Control C and I scaled down right here, hit on end without a smart object. If I scale up, my photo is going to equality. But since I have the smart, this layer converted into our smart object when I scaled back, or it is still going to retain that same quality. Of my photos, I'm going to skew. These are more than that. I will be able to take away the Adobe firefly icon radius. I'm going to reduce this a little bit. I think something like this, it's fine. Okay, this is really fine. I'm going to click on Okay, to go back into Photoshop. Alright, this is really fine and this is what I want. It is done for us to add a background in order elements. So we'll go over to my folder right here and drag it into my second squared. Now we need something like it. Dramatic. Sky will look at this one right here. It is really looking dramatic and really looking absolutely beautiful and fine. Now you can form these inside of Photoshop. You can also do some cheating. That is, if you want to. So let's quickly try and replicate this cloud inside of Photoshop. Less than managers do everything in an automated way. Okay, so now I am going to come down right here and click to create a solid color adjustment layer. And that's gonna be on top of all the whole layer. I'm going to drag it below the main subject layer itself. So I'm going to double-click on this part right here. From this color we can sample from here. That is, if you have color you want to sample from. So I'm going to click on, Okay, right now to select that color. And I'm going to create another solid color adjustment layer right here. I'm also going to sample from here to get this guy color. Don't worry about that. We're going to that in some, in a moment. Now, I am going to select the rectangular marquee tool right here, or you can make use of the lessons are key to make everything really sweet, aim wonderful. Let's make use over the last row two, so that will be able to create a custom selection. Since we have this as a cloud right here, I am going to make a course thumb selection just like this. Okay, so now how the selection, and we want to hide the bottom part of these sky blue layer we have right here. So now click on the Layer Mask, come down to the Layer Mask option right here. Click on the layer mask. When you click on the layer mask measure your foreground color is set to black. If not, just double-click on that and make sure you have the foreground color set to black right here. Or you can easily hit on D on your keyboard to reset back to default. And if you find out that white is at the top, you can hit the X key on your keyboard to toggle between colors. Or you can easily click on this arrow right here to toggle between boot Colors to now once this is set, just hold down the alternate on your keyboard and hit backspace. It is going to feel that layer mask with black. And that is going to hide the other area on your layer or wherever it is you are hiding right here. So now once it's done receipt on deselect, that is going to deselect for you, right? Okay, so we have a base of our sky and it is looking a little bit FE. So now we this down first to start adding the class and we have to blend in the clouds with this layer we have created vacation. Now, I am going to create a new layer above all truly as you have read it. And this is where our cloud brush come in handy. So now let's select the one that is really going to be accurate. Now, I think this first one is really looking, Showcase some query, select white-collar. But before I start diving would rush right here. When we look at the scapula we have right here, it's not really looking like a sky blue. So I'm going to double-click on this layer right here to open up the color picker. And then I'm going to move this to the blue Elizabeth, so that will get that kind of sky blue. I think I want to add a little bit of blue to this. I think this is fine. And I want to make this a little bit of blue. But that's the blue. So I'm going to reduce it. Alright, this is absolute difference. I'm going to click on Loki and select the newly created right now. So now I can start adding my clouds, but it's not really blending in right now, so we can just keep adding the Cloud so leads to bits for now. And later we'll worry about blending it in. Okay, as you keep doing this, you don't want to make use of one brush. You want to keep switching between different brush to give you different variations of cloud. Will have this right here. We're going to add it. Okay, so now we need to blend the clouds, read the background itself. Like when you look at this part right here, you can see how the clouds blending in together, but now we'll add the Cloud is your slag. It's on top of our solid colors right here. This one is really blending in. The clouds are really blending in very sky blue, so we need to blend it in various bottom. They are right here now will have different ways of doing that. But let me show you one quick way. First of all, so click on the layer mask we have right here. Now you can easily, when you click on the layer mask wearing and make sure you still have your cloud brush selected. And now you can switch to any other brush to give you a different variation as well. Now when you select the brush, just go over to the edge which I've created before and start dabbing right there. And that is going to blend it in, but it is adding a little bit of black and we don't want much of the black. So now let's do it this way. Come down and select white right here. And now start painting. It's going to start really the sky blue, right? Okay. And another way of doing this, which is really fine, also select this layer right here and go into your brush panel and select the default soft round brush inside of Photoshop I How well does is that the blood connected to my PC, heavenly Digital tablet connected to your PC. It's going to give you a lot of option and a lot of flexibility when making use of your brushes. Right here I'm going to select the soft round pressure or practically and fluid brush available in Photoshop. Now with the help of this brush, I will be able to erase some a rash right here. And this branch is called the soft round pressure opacity and flow brush. Why? Because the harder you press on our tablet, it is going to give us the value of hundred. So let's say we have the opacity up hundred right? Now. The Press light on our tibia is going to give us a value between zero to hundred depending on how hard would praise the loop breast completely had on our tablet, it is going to give us the value of hundreds and just press light is going to give us the value of maybe once a day, one to 20 or maybe one to 50. Okay, so now let's quickly just pinned right here and blend in every layers together. Okay? You can see that right now it is blending in red, but we still need to do Elizabeth of thing. So now create another LEA able to apply all these darker part of the clouds. Come down to your color picker, double-click and select a darker color you can pick from here and pick something a little bit darker than that and I click on Okay, if you're not making use of digital tablet as you want to go over to your opacity and flow and reduce them to somewhere around 50 per cent. Now, if the 50% is not working well for you or it's not giving you what you want. You can also play around with value to give you what you want. Now on top of that newly, I'm going to increase the size of my brush with the square bracket key on top of that new layer which you created. Just paint a little bit. I'm sorry about that is I'm going to take this and shift this back. Now, just just paint on those areas. Now you're gonna see we have the variation of clouds, but I wanted to take something away right here. We'll look at this part right here. You can see that we have those darker colors a little come down to this part right here and make sure my foreground color is set to white. Then I'm going to raise that part right there, and that is fine. But when you look at the clouds right here, you can see that we don't have a lot of space, but on ours we have a loader space. Now we need to fix that. Let's just add more of this right here that will have a little bit darker this time, little bit publish. So let's double-click on our color picker, and let's move this all real poeple Elizabeth and D saturate seeds. Just like this. This is fine. Now click on OK. Now, in order for us to be honest, so far side, we are going to do this on another layer to create a new layer. Increases size of the brush a little bit, and now paint over these areas just like that. Just like that. Okay. This is fine. We don't really have to copy exactly every single have registered. Now, let's make the clouds thick more than what it is. Now select the cloud layer. Scroll all the way down to your cloud brush. And now, sorry, Let's see it on D to reset back to differentiate on X to toggle back to white. And now we're just going to fill in the clouds right here and do that in a B2B. Okay, So far so good. This is where we have. Now it is time for us to add one of the spaceship. So I'm gonna drag my full that interests part right here. And I am going to drag anyone for a moment. Now, I need this cloud to be more dramatic. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to drag one of the spaceship into Photoshop. And I'm going to scale that up just like this. And I'll come over to the blend mode and play around with the blend mode and see what we are going to get right here. So let it play. We multiply and apply it and really working, Let's try overlay over liters over kin. So flight, we will lie. Let's try color No one is actually working, so we are going to do this manually. So now add layer marks to this. Let's play around with the, with this photo right here. So we need a cloud like this right here, cyclical loci. We are going to use this picture to fake the Cloud we need. Now once you have the layer mask created and select that, hit the S key to make it a your foreground color is set to black. And once it is set to black, you can grab any cloud brush of your choice and just erase some parts of these of this photo right here. And make sure to make use of a random brushes because that is going to help us pick something different. Again. I'm going to erase this part completely, even despite right here, everything right here, and hit Send. I'm going to go back and select the soft round brush right here in Photoshop. And I am just going to erase some parts to blend in. And I'm going to erase some areas right here to blend it in. So now we have that dachau part of our photo and this is really looking good. But when you look at this, but right now, you can see that nothing is really matching. Our photo is not really matching with our background. Well, we don't really need to worry about that right now because we are going to fix that. Okay, so now we have this right here. So let's quickly bring in the spaceship. So let me go inside of main folder where we have our whole food we need to check for the spaceship will really need. And I'm going to double-click on our spaceship right here. And let's see the one that is going to walk well for so let's see. They see. And let's see. I think I like this one better. This look more like a futuristic stuff and so on. Some goo into Hyde, little clues these, and drag this one into our composition right here. That is what we already have. Well, we still the clouds from that is fine. But first, I'm going to undo that and go back. And go back into my walk folder. I'm going to drag this and open it in Photoshop separately. I want to work on this photo to take away the backgrounds so that everything will be really clear. So I'm gonna hit V to select my move to, and I will go over and select the select subject to an after selecting the Select Subject to go right here and click on Select Subject and allow Photoshop to do its thing. Let's see, Photoshop is actually going to make a better selection for us. Okay, Photoshop did a nice selection for us, but we still have a little bit of an arrow and so on right here. So go into, I didn't think I need all these ones right here. So I'm going to zoom in closely. Wow, we have a lot of issue right here. So I'm going to resume inclusively and just hit the L key to select lasso to hold down the alternate and subtract all these. This is where we have. Now we'll go into Select and Mask option. Inside of the select and mask if you haven't make use of it before, this is how it is going to be looking. Now come down to this variable will have view under the View mode. Click on the view and set it to overlay. You are going to have read, stove, Oliver, your food. And now this is going to be showing you where you have already selected and the areas you have not selected already. So now you can grab the brush inside of the select and mask. Manually paint away to a Rashi doing is I'm gonna hold down, oh, if I need to subtract and I'm going to paint a way all these areas because I didn't need it. I'm not going to spend much time working on this because I'm going to cheat this with the clouds and also hide some of them and embark on my subjects. Okay, so now once you're done, you want to scroll all the way down to Output Settings. Click on the output settings and scroll down and click on the outputs to, I am going to add, I'm going to select newly our layer mask, click on Loki and click on Okay to go back into Photoshop. So thinking a little bit of background and taken away the things we don't need. So this is what we're left with. Now we are going to hit the VQ on our keyboard and drag this into our composition. And we could drop it inside here. Now it's a little bit smaller, so we're just going to heat or Control C to secure. These are just like this. One more of it to be inside. I think I'm going to call little bit of it all. I just want everything to be insect is going to make sense. Once you to be underbar or Mickey little bit bigger. Yeah, this is fine. Absolutely. Have a little bit of an issue on our subject. So we're going to click on, Okay, Let's place it and see how it looks. This looks a little bit better and making a lot of sense. So let's click on Control Z. Control Z again. And skewed is dull, elite to be. Just like that. Is bringing it down. Bring it down. Okay, this is really fine. Now we have everything in our composition looking good and look into with 1 st for us to go in and do adjustment, largest Adjust mainly know so balance delight. When you look at it right here now you can see that the light of our subject is not really matching with a lighter sky and the direction of light, not unlike we have lights coming from this file writer and also the light on the spaceship. We have a warm light reflecting on the spaceship, but ours, on our subject, we have some don't like the cold light reflecting on our subjects, so we need to fix all these, and that is what we are going to be doing in the next lesson. Now take your time, Adjust and arrange all the photos you have generated, all the footage you find from any stock website and put everything together and prepare yourself for the next lesson, which we are going to be matching the light and doing some basic adjustments. And I'm going to see you guys in the next lesson. 8. 7. Fixing Lightt: In the previous lesson, we assembled our Stokes together, just exactly what we have radiate. This is where we achieved in the previous lesson. Now when there's less enrich them first to start matching the light when you look at it. But Photo very well, all the ads work, we're working on very well. You can see that the lights are not really matching properly. Now when you look at the subject itself, you can see that we have Lightt undercoat and also Lightt on the face. We don't really have any lights coming from this part of our ads. And when you look at this part right here, you can see that we don't have like on the spaceship. And when you look at our subject, you can see that we'll have a little bit of light right here. So this is what we need to fix in this lesson. But before we start fixing that, we have a little bit of an error which we need to fix. When you look at this pad right here, I don't know if you can see that. When you look at this part right here, you can see how little bead of a line. Now this line, it's coming from these spaceship photo. So we need to go back to the layer mask, make sure we have the layer mask selected. Hit the big key to select the brush to. Now you can make use of any brush of your choice. I'm going to make use of the regular soft round brush inside of Photoshop. So I'm gonna select that brush. And I'm just going to erase all these areas right here. One, when you are doing this measure, I have your foreground color set to black because the concept of a layer mask is that black hides and white review. Now, once you're done with I think is okay, but you just need to cross check and make sure everything is really fine. Absolutely fine. Now we'll also have another arrow on our subjects. When you look at over soviet very well, you can see that we'll have Elizabeth barbershop, agent or subject. While you don't need to worry about that, we're actually going to fix this later. So now less than working on Lightt First-in First we need to fix the light right here because this is the easy one. Yep, there is something else on the spaceship. We'll look at a spaceship. You can see at the bottom part right here that we have the Adobe Firefly water mark right here. So we also needs to erase that. Well, I guess that is not from the main photo itself of the spaceship. I guess it is from the Cloud we stole from the space ship. So we need to click on this one right here, and then we can erase. Exactly. Alright, everything is looking good right now. But we still have leads veto rights issue when you look at it, but it's just blank right here and it's not really good that we bought for a moment. We are going to leave that and maybe fix that later. All we can also live it out. Okay, so now let's start with matching all the light overall. The subject is not matching with the background. And also over the whole light is actually not matching with anything at all. Well, we are going to fix that, not to worry about that. Okay. So first thing let's work on disliked. The lights will have a solicitor bit yellowish, but what we have on our subject, it's kind of whites. And we need to fix the light, then create an adjustment layer. We're going to create a curve adjustment layer right here, which is this one. And now we are going to take the brightness of Pay attention to the spaceship and nothing else. So we're going to take this brighter, just like that's and that is looking fine. Once you're done, select the layer mask of the curve adjustment layer. And here on Control plus I on your keyboard. And that is going to invert the layer mask into black. And the Highlights you've Apply is going to disappear. Now you want to right-click and select our brush now to make everything soft and blend in easily, I am going to be making use of a sub front pressure opacity and flow brush available in Photoshop. So I'm going to click on that and select it. Now. Come down to your Layers panel, drag the curve adjustment layer which you created to the space ship layer. And when you drag it to the spaceship layer, just right-click and create clipping mask when you critically we must, it is going to clip this curve adjustment layer to this spaceship layer. Anything you do stays inside of that layer. Now we're going to toggle the foreground color from white, from black to white. So I'm going to eat his the X key on my keywords dugata. Now when you see if I pinned right here, everything I paint is affecting only the spaceship alone. Keep that in mind. That is the use of the layer mask. I'm going hit on Control Z to undo that. Now we've just done for us to apply the light on our spaceship. So I'm going to zoom in closely. I think I'm going to make use of a soft round brush right here, and I can start painting. This actually has no means I'm going to erase this later. This is where we have before and this is where we have after, loop before and after. Take a look at, at the light is really matching analysts really looking good and also popping out. There is no much light. There is no much light coming to this part right here. Now we need to darken this part of our subject. So go above your subject, create a curve adjustment layer, another curve adjustment layer, but this time, drag it down. As you're dragging it down. Pay attention to this part of your subject. This is dark enough. Now I'm going to select the layer Muskegon and he don't control I on my keyboard to invert the layer mask. Now I am going to paint on top of my subject jacket with the foreground color set to white. And I'm going to append to reveal that. Now as you can see as I'm painting, it is going outside of my subject, but I want this to stay inside my subject. So we'll go over to the covert years mentally I just created, I'm going to right-click and create a clipping mask. Absolutely fine. So now I am going to paint over these areas just like that. Okay, So now take a look at is, this is all we have before. And this is where we have after. It is now balanced in this part of our sky location. Now, click on that. So make sure you have the curve adjustment layer selected. We're going to reduce the opacity because it is too much. But if you don't want to reduce the opacity from this opacity slider right here, you can just double-click on the curve adjustment layer. The energy is going to open the properties for you. From here, you can just drag this hundred here upward and it is going to reduce it for you. But I just wanted to make use of the opacity slider right here because that is really going to make a lot of sense for me. Okay, so we still have a little bit of adjustment. We need to do. So right here we have lights, lighter color, something like a white coat, sun. And where we have on your photo itself, it's a one-to-one. So we need to apply that warm sun on this slide right here to make everything blend in properly. And now we're going to be doing that with the help of a photo. Few of that now come down to this part right here and click on this adjustment layer and scroll all the weights. You'll find Photo Filter right here. Click on that and that is going to open the Photo Filter for you. And it is going to magically apply a warm tone for you, but you wouldn't be able to see that very well. Why? Because the density is very, very low risk currently set to five. Now when you increase this value, you take this up, you will be able to see very well. Now I am going to leave the Preserve Luminosity checked. Now this is going to help preserve the lights, the exact Lightt value of light and the exact value of shadow we have. But if I uncheck that, it is going to affect the lights. Now depending on how you want this to be. But I think taken away the preserve luminosity, It's really giving me the kind of effect and one on the light of subjects location. Now when I turn on the preserve luminosity, we still have that lighter color. It's not really effective. So I'm going to turn off the Preserve Luminosity. Now I am going to select the layer mask and hit on control again to invert the layer mask, I'm going to select the soft round pressure, opacity and flow brush in Photoshop. Why? I wanted to blend Photo field that would dislike to have variety. I don't want to lose had age. So I'm going to right-click and create a clipping mask right here and make sure my foreground color is set to white. Now, I am going to paint on the light. Here. I'm going to right-click again and select the soft round brush. I don't want to appraise that had on my tablet. Okay. So now I am going to add it right here. And also right here of my subjects I also want to hold lights double warm. I'm going to undo this part right here and allow the Effects we're going to apply later to fix all the light effects right here. But for the colored, I'm just going cover the lights we have on the cloud itself. And here is pretty cool. Absolutely fantastic. Now, take a look at it. The lightest balancing very well. This is where we have before and this is where we have after the before and after. Now, little by little, step-by-step, gradually, gradually we and now fixing up every issue we have on our photo, okay, So right now, everything is looking a little bit better, but there are so many things we still need to do, and that is what we are going to do in the next lesson. Now, we have a light right here. We have light right here. And lighting is really coming up right here. But let's not really affecting this area right here. So we need to add that light right here. But first before we add the light, will need to make sure we add a light source that is providing this slide on our subject. Now we need to provide a Lightt sociable going to increase the size of the brush. Create a new layer right here. And I'm just going to dab with a brush right here. Just one. Okay, just a one. And I will go over to my blend mode right here from my layers panel. I'm going to play with delight. We do blend modes right here, so I'm going to select this soft light. Now let's see, this is where we have before and this is where we have after, the before and the after. So now we have that light, red light is coming from. We have it on our photo. Now when I How would a laser that is hitting our subject itself to create those bumps and Lightt on our subject. So this is where we have before, and this is where we have after. If it's not strong enough, you can hit J to duplicate it. And I think this is really, really awesome. I like this one right here. It is more visible than what we have before. So I'm just going to select these two layer N or Control G to group them. We're just going to keep them that we measure to stay organized with your LEA as part and we're going to try to organize this later on. So this is how it is looking right now. Everything is really looking absolutely fine, fantastic and wonderful. Everything is really looking good and I love it. So we need to fix the light right here at Elizabeth off lights, reflections right here. So now creates a new layer and set that as a clipping mask to your subject layer. Now I created accreted layer below the fulfill their end adjustment layer we have right here so that it is going on magically set itself as a clipping mask. Now when you create a layer between a clipping mask and layer itself, it is going to automatically clipped that new layer onto the main layer. You have read, it, just says what happened right now. Okay, so now we need to apply the Lightt. Nonetheless, we want to apply, it's a white light, not more of the colon Lightt radius. So double-click right here on your color, on your color picker. And now let's make use of a light like this. Click on Okay, then go over to the area of your subjects where you want to apply the Lightt engineers paint in a liter and on the glass itself. Now this is a little bit harsh, not really what we want. Now come over to the blend mode and play around with the blend mode. And I think soft light is going to do something really bad at first. This is overly and this is soft lights. Let's quickly see this is the before and the Alpha. The before and the alpha. Now let's play with you over a little asterix overlay. This is the before and after the bill for any alpha, I will actually go to soft light, I think. Okay, do you value works better for me right here? So we go with overlay. Now, look at is we haven't balanced light on our subject really looking good. We also need to add leads up to the hair, to raising up the hair. Now we still need to add a light on this area right here to embracing them that you hear. We also need to add lights. Right here. I know Sue on the neck and just listen to it as a rim lights right here. And moreover here and little bit of it and all these we have right here. Not that much, that much. If it's too much right here, we're just going to switch to the soft round pressure of backstory and fluid brush, but you can just reduce your opacity and flow and use it to erase some areas. Now, since we wanted to erase some areas right here, we're just going to switch to black. And I'm going to increase the size of brush and just brush over these areas to blend those Lightt in. I don't want them to be hash. I don't want to erase it from every area. Okay, So this is what we have before. This is where we have after, before any Alpha. Absolutely fantastic. Now in the next lesson, we will now go and apply the whole effect right now we spent a lot of them walking on these and it triggers a little bit of flame and it is really FUN working on these. And I hope you are also having something like this right now. Take your time and mass-to-light on your own ads work you are working on. In the next lesson, we're going to apply a general color to our food, Sudan. We are going to have a balanced add stroke right here. And now we're going to be doing that with an automation as though we are going to be making use of the neural few that are available in Photoshop. Finally, we will head over to the color grading and do some little, Adjust me, write it. And after making use of this method to apply the overall color on our photo to make everything balance risk, they have some little adjustment we need to do. But when we get into that lesson, you will understand better of the things we need to do and how we are going to address them. I'll see you guys in the next lesson. 9. 8. Matching Colors: In this lesson, we're going to matching the overall color of our subject and the background. Now when you look at it composition, very well, you can see that some of the areas and not much in any kind of look we are going for It's not really what we want. Want something like a vintage loo or a CPR look, something like that. Now we really need to achieve that. Now luckily we have a reference photo that have odors, colors. We need. What we're going to do via go into copy outer is Colors and just apply it onto our own colors right here. Before we do that, we are going to organize our layers panel so that everything stays organized. Now have this phosphate group right here. So this is Lightt and I'm just going to double-click on this and name that to light and hit on Enter. I'm going to select the Photo Filter, hold down Shift, and click on this subject layer to select everything. And I'm going to, if you don't control plus G on my keyboard to group the layer, and I'm going to double-click on that and name that to subject a hit on Enter. Now I am going to select this layer. And this layer, you don't control G. And I'm going to name that two spaceship. And finally I'm going to select on this one. And hold on. Ships go all the way down and select the last color fill layer we have right here. He don't control G to group that. And I'm going to double-click on that. Nim that to background. Now we have an organized layer, but everything is well organized. We can go through each and every one of them one by one. So this is the light when longer have the light depth, if I enable it, have the light right there. This is a subject, this is the spaceship, and this is the background. Alright, first, copy this color and applied onto our own food. We need to make use of the neural fate that, but first to make use of the neuropathy with and now we need to have one particularly elderly as we have right here. It's made out to group. Now we can apply the filter to a group. You can actually apply a field that we grew. But the only way you can do that is by right-clicking and converting that layer into a Smart Object. Now we don't need to convert that into a Smart Object. So what we're going to do, we're going to create a match copy of all the whole layers we have on our Layers panel. Now the way we are going to do that, we need to hold down the Control plus earthiness Shift plus E on our keyboard. And that is going to Miracle merge copy of all our layers right here. Now we're going to right-click and convert this layer into a smart objects. After converting the layer into a smart object, we'll go over it a few that and scroll down to find new row. Fill that with your friend in new airfield there. Click on that to open up the new FU there. Here we are inside of the new airfield there. So what we want to do, want to transfer the color, as you said. So come down to this part right here and click on Color Transfer. When you click on the color transfer, it is going to open this window for you. Just click on this box right here to activate it. Now you have activated the color. From here we need to select the photo which we want to copy the color. We already have the folder, so we'll go to course dump. But if want to make use of anyone we have as the preset right here, you can just select anyone and transfer Color Bot one, a custom image. Double-click on Cornerstone, and click on this folder right here. And it is going to open the File Explorer or the Finder. Now we're going to click on this and click on select an image from computer, or you click on this vote and radius, I'm going to click on this, and that is going to open my Windows Explorer for me, better food. Your Windows Explorer is going to open at the top-left. A drug might, at this point right here. Now I am into full the well, we have all the photos regenerated with anaerobic fight-or-flight, but we can't see anyone of them right here. And why all these photo I saved in JPEG format. And what we have right here, It's PNG format, wouldn't be able to see anyone who voters for any of this happens. So you don't need to worry about that. Just commented despite right-click on it and select JPEG and refine that, that none of the photo API, as you want to click on this drop-down menu and select D, P, G. Or when you select the JPEG, it is going to select all the hole for those that falls on that the dot JPEG file format. And that is where you are going to have ready. Now we're going to try several colors, are several food enlisted one is really go into much. And if luckily I tried to first one and it works perfectly, I am going to stick with the first one. That is what we're going to be using. Now how about the whole Colors right here? You can sue pretty good and popping out a lot. So first, we're going to walk with the one we use as a reference why arranging our Photos on top of each order. So I'm going to click on this one right here because this is the one with me. This is the one will make his own before and I'm going to click on Use Image. Now, once you click on Use Image, photo is going to appear inside of your Craft. Feel that energy is going to apply from the background. And when you look at the bottom by, you are going to see that it is processing from the bargain. Okay, this is looking absolutely fantastic. Let's take a look at it before and after. This is where we have before. And this is where we have after we've applied this color transfer. Now when you come down to the color space, you can see from radio, we have lab, but when you click on the drop-down menu, you have RGB. And what are we working on is our document. We are working on RGB color space as a Word document. We're going to come down to this part right here and select the RGB. And this is going to properly blend in with our ads. Take a look at it. Naturally happens right here, but it is really blending in with our agile. You may not see that variable once you are working on yours, you will be able to see that very well and see how it works. Now, this is looking so amazing. So this is really will come from, this is where we'll go into, take a look at is the lightest matching, the color is matching. Everything is really matching very well. Now you can do some adjustment like reducing the saturation, playing around with the hue. You can adjust the brightness and so on. But I'm really okay with what I got right here. So I'm going to click on, Okay, right now, before we click on, Okay, let's talk about the output. How do you want the output? So you want to click on this menu right here. Familiar, you are going to get new layer, new layer with layer mask smartphone with their new document, I will go with the Smart Filter option. I already have the Smart Filter selected and I'm going to click on Okay, and that is going to take them back into Photoshop. Effects already applied. So let's take a look at it before and after. This is where we have before. This is where we have after. This is looking so amazing and this is just an easy way you can easily apply color on your photo. Now we don't need to stress ourselves doing any crazy in right here. But what we are going to do is just for us to adjust the color to suit what we want. May feel like you can just continue with any or adding right here. You don't have to adjust the color, you don't have to do anything else and it's really going to be all good for you. It really depends on new and where you want high you want this to be, and how you want the outcome to be. Well, for me, I am going to play around with color and that is what we are going to be doing in the next lesson. I actually want you to understand how to turn the color. If you are okay with this, you can skip to the next lesson. But if you're not okay with is all you just want to play around with the color. Make sure to wear the next lesson, because that is what we are going to do in the next lesson, playing around with colors and see what we are going and get. And I'll see you guys in the next lesson. 10. 9. Color Enhancement: How is the classical winner for you guys at home? You are really following step-by-step and understanding each and every process. Don't forget if you have any issue along the way or you have any question you want to ask, you always have a place where you can drop your question and I am willing to answer you anytime anybody. In this lesson, we're going to be playing around with color. We already have something good, something really nice, that is really looking so good. And right here it is really making a lot of sense. We need to do a little bit of adjustment, walking on the Colors and so on. That is what we're going to be doing here. We're going to new colors. We have two method of working on the colors depending on the methyl you want to make his. Or we can make use of adjustment layers right here. You can also make use of the camera row, fifth row we have right here to do your adjustment. And whichever one that workspace for you, you can go ahead and make use every day, almost walk the same thing, but for a lot of flexibility and just having one layer, I am going to be making use of the camera raw filter. Now, this effect will have right here, it's not properly merged with this layer. Now I'm not going to measure Effects with a layer. What I'm going to do, I'm going make a duplicate of this layer, or I am going to make a merged copy of resistance layer reached the field that already applied. So I'm going to repeat this, the emperor says by holding down Control plus L plus shift plus E. And this is going to make a match Copy. Now this match copy we have, It's now having diffused that we applied, which is the color with trans fats. The reason we're photo right here, when I turn this off, you can see the before and the after. Now I am going to right-click again and converted into our smart object. This time around, I want to make use of the camera raw filter to adjust the color to play around and see what can come out of it. Now we'll go over a few there and scroll down to camera arrow. Feel that you really don't need to know much about the camaraderie of view. That is just something you need to understand and just follow along right here. Now one thing I need to tell you is that there is no one we you adjust the color. I can just come down right here and tell you that instead of your camera filter movie slider, move the slider and move that slider. You'll be able to achieve this kind of color. Now, if as though you move the slider, move the slider, move the slider. And soon it is really going to turn out well for my own photo, but it might not work or for your own food. Now, understanding this technique and understanding the process is very important because this is what you are going to be using on your own answer. Every cell, every settings and every slider and move right here. If you move them according to the way I move them right here, it is going to walk or might work perfectly on your own ads because you are following the ads. But what if you want to work on another adsorb? You don't have to make use of already settings. You have to find your own settings. Now, understanding how to move on the slider is very important. Now I'm going to give you a basic intro about most of the tab dot or a tablet tabs, we're going to be using any camera raw filter. The first step we're going to be using is a basic walk on the basic expert of your photo, like the lighting, the color, temperature, exposure, the shadow, halides, and so on. That is what the basic walk for. Now I'll come down to the exposure. I don't want to increase exposure. Oh, I don't want to darken. I think I want to darken the exposure or literally. And I think 0.20, 0.20 works well for me. And I will overthrew contrast. I don't want to add much contrast to this. Then I will go over to the shadow and I will raise the shadow, Elizabeth. Now the reason why I'm playing around with the shadow, it's because of this part right here. It's a little bit DAC and it's not supposed to be dark. Now I'm going to raise the shadow of a little bit. And that is really cool. Now since I have really the shadow a little bit, I'm going to apply a little contrast to take away the faded look on the photo. Now, come down to the white. Reduce the white a little bit to reduce the highlight. Now I'll go over your highlight and I'm going to increase the highlight a little bit to pop the light on moist areas. And finally, I want to add a little bit of texture. So I'm going to add a little bit of texture right here to make it play a little bit and give you that sharp look and clarity. I don't want multiple clarify. I think I'm going to reduce the texture to ten and add a little bit of clarity like No, I don't want to add clarity, so I'm going to say the clarity to zero. And this is looking good. So this is where we have before and this is where we have F that take a look at it that before and after the before and after. Now let's scroll down to the column mixes. So we're going to click on the Color Mixer Here we are. We're going to adjust different colors. Now, the use of the column mix at dab, the color mix that up is used to adjust individual colors available on Neo4j. We'll talk about the individual colors by thinking about the oranges, the yellow greens, aqua, blue is poppers and magenta available on your photo. Now you can use each and every one of this slide adds to play around with any of those individual colors. For the saturation right here, this is you go into, I mean, how saturated you want to call it to be. And illuminance is going to play around with a light of each and every one of these color. Then finally we have the, OH, when you click on this, or it is going to show you the hue, the saturation and luminance altogether. You don't have to scroll up and down between each tabs and so on. Now when I come to the hue, you can play around really huge to see if you want to modify any color of your choice. So first I will go over to the blue and try to play around with the blue and need a little bit of lighter blue, but I can play around with that blue very well. It is affecting the hair of my subject. And I think I'm going to play around with that and let's This is fine. I'm going to work on the Aqua. There's no much of an alcohol going on right here. No motion. And if want to reset any slight adders, double-click on that and it's going to automatically reset this later for you. Right here. We don't have some like, Oh, green we want to play with. We don't have a green right here. So I'm going to double-click on the green. And for the yellow, we have yellow on the sky. We have yellow on our subject, Elizabeth, and also yellow on the spaceship, and also on the eyeglass of our subject. Well, I don't want that, so I'm going to double-click on that, reset it. We have orange on most places. I'm going to double-click on that. I don't want to play with the orange. Now I think I want to make the jacket a little bit ready so that that red is going to show very well when you're seven is okay, I'm gonna move it over to the rate is. Now I will go over to this saturation. There's nothing I wanted to do. My shear on desaturation, everything is really okay and I liked this saturation. Now we'll go over to the luminance for the orange. I'm going to increase the light of the orange a little bit. For the yellows, I'm going to new, I'm going to darken the light of the yellows a little bit. For the green, there is no much green right here. That is your degree is, and it's not really making any sense right now. So for the Aqua, I think I'm going to increase Lightt little bit. For the blue. We don't want to wash out the blue we have, right? And we wanted to have that bluish thing. I'm going to add a little bit of blue right here. This is where we have before and this is where we have after the before and after. This is how you can basically adjust the hollow. Now, I want to add a little bit of a smoothing to my subject itself. So we'll go over to the Details tab right here. And I'm going to add noise reduction right now. So now when you look at my subject, you can see that my subject is now smooth. I'm willing to take it up so that you see that very well. You can now see that my subject is overall not just my subject before you too. It's smooth, re-looking, perfect and sweet, looking more like an ad. So now I'm going to reduce the color noise reduction as well. Now the difference between the noise reduction and colonize reduction in noise reduction reduce the overall noise on your photo and why they colonize reduction, reduce the noise on the color area on your photo. Now this is where we have before, and this is where we have F that I'm going to click on. Okay, go back into Photoshop. Now this is where we have. We'll come back from the camera arrow field that now we need to do Elizabeth, of an adjustment like what I said. Now it is always okay to make a backup of each of your stuff. Actually keep going. So I'm going to make another copy of our control plus shift plus E that is going to make Image copyright here. And I'm going to turn off the iris layer. What we want to do with this layer right here, which we just created one, fix all these as for subject. Now, I did this on purpose and did not fix this so that I can show you how to fix this later. There's a way you can fix these as you keep walking. The way to fix this is by contrasting your selection of your subject. Now, let's turn off every layers right here. Go back to only our subject layer, which is this one. And I'm going to reveal the background right here. Now we were unable to see those lines because of the white background we have right here. Now, we go into the Objects, group and I will scroll down and select the subject layer by holding down Control and click on the thumbnail. It is going to make our selection randomize subjects for me. Now to contract the selection you want to go over to select, scroll down to modify, and then contract. You can put in any amount of pizza you want. But I wanted you to see these very words I'm going to dive into and see and click on. Okay. So now you can see how contract distillation is now looking. So you can use this to fix that error at first. But if you forget to fix the arrow adverse, this is how you are going to fix it and that is the middle we are going to be using. Now, we're hitting Control D to deselect that. Go out of the subject group. Leave every Adalja tones of and turn on the last layer that I have right here, which is this one. Now go over to your tuba and look, kids. The blood to right here. And click on the blood to select the blood. So from here you want to go over to the strength. I'm going to increase the strength somewhere around 70. 70 is really go into will find for me. Now, I'll come down to all these areas right here. And I am going to blow some blunders as our. So we didn't little bit of an arrow right here. Now, I actually wanted to blow this space ship and the background. But now we have already played everything right here and we'll match all the whole layer as well. I am going to show you how to fix that right now. Now's a fixed as you want to go over to Select and subject that is going to select your subject for you right here. Okay, now we have the spaceship also selected. I'll have Alyssa bit of an error right here. So you don't Control D. Now go back to your subject group right here. Click and open the subject group layer. Scroll all the way down, hold down Control, and click on the subject itself. Now we are going to have the subject selected alert. Now, create a group. I want to show you a technique that is called a subject separation. Now we're going matrix of this method to separate the subject from the background itself. Now, how we are going to do this? We are going to create a group right here. And we're going to add a layer mask so that group, laterally amongst the group, you will see that inside of that layer mask we have the subject as white and the background is black. Now this is Telenor's that anything we do right here is going to affect subject and the subject alert. Now let's drag, we're going to keep it always just going to double-click on the group and name that to them. That's the subject. Now we're going to duplicate this group by hitting Control J and double-clicking on the name of that one, intimate two, and name it to background. Now we are going to select the layer mask can hit on control I to invert the layer max. Now, it is going to have the background selected. Now we are going to do a little bit over. Now where I'm doing right here. We can easily go back in time and fix these punctures giving you Elizabeth over techniques. If you don't want to go back to do your fixing. If you feel like it's going to call it a lot of problem for you or if maybe you deleted your document and you don't have any backup, you can also make these over-estimated. Now, we are going to hold down Control and click on that layer mask off of our subject is going to make our selection right here. Now we'll go to Select, scroll down to modify. This time we want to expand, you want do right now, it is that we want to take away the subject from the background, taken away the Soviet from the background. It's going to help us prevent the ghosting effects. Wind will blow the background. Okay, so now I'm going to increase this by 20 pixel and click on Okay, but before I do that, I'm going to make a duplicate of my main layer. So I'm going to come down right here and create a duplicate that is going to make a duplicate copy. This is where I am going to fill it. Now I will go over to Scroll all the way down to Content Aware Fill. I'm going to click on Content Aware Fill. And this window is going to open up. My area is going to sample from every other parts of our background and fill out our subject. Let's give Photoshop some time to do its work. Photoshop has done it for, but everything is looking weird. But don't worry about that, we can work with that. So scroll all the way down and click on Okay, and this is going to take you back into Photoshop. Now after this Apply, you barely see the crazy thing we see inside of the Content Aware Fill. Why? Because we still have the subject covering those areas of our background. Okay, so this is where we have. Now we no longer have our subject on the background itself. Now, don't worry about that. Well, we're just going to do via, go into select both layers together because have the Content Aware, Fill on a new layer. We're going to select both layers together and he don't Control E to merge them together. Now we are going to drag this into the background group. Now you see that we have over subjects back, they'll have a little bit overall issue right here, but don't worry about that. Now once blood is now we'll go over it. If you scroll all the way down to blow and select lens blow, this is going to give us a blow directly from the camera. Okay? I think displacer is a video, okay, but I think I want to add Elizabeth or V to the radius. I'm going to add more blood to the radius. This is fine. This is fine. I think they'll take it down unless you okay. I'm going to increase the blood leads to B. This is fine and I don't want to rotate it. I want to keep it away. Every other settings, I want to leave these settings the way it is. I'm going to click on Okay, to go back into Photoshop. And that is going applied to blow for. Now. This is where we have, this is where we have before, and this is where we have after the, before and after the before and after, looking good. Now, if we have a little bit of an issue right here on our subject and so on. We easily go into freeze that. Don't worry about that and I'm going to show you how to fix that right now. Okay, so First-in First, let's fix this area. We have ragged. Hit Esc key on your keyboard to select the Clone Stamp to make it a little bit bigger and measure that you have the sample sets only current layer. Now just double-click on this arm here, come over to this. But in jurors, paint over to take away this as well. First, let's look at the settings and measure that we don't have any brush with Frazier and Opacity and Flow selected sample again, by holding down the author need and layer, just paint over these areas. Let's come over to this part right here and repeat the same process. Now, this is, look at it. Looking nice, looking. So Sweden, fantastic. Okay, so let's turn this off. Unless see, this is where we have before without a blow. And this is where we have AFDA would blow before without a blow, enough that wouldn't blow. This is really looking so good, re-looking, amazing. So now let's drag this 12 and drop it inside of our subjects group. And that is going to place everything inside for us. But we have a little bit of an arrow right here, this sharp edge, and so on. Now I'm just going to drag that out. We don't need that. But to fix that, you can also come to this layer mask, select the layer mask and go over to the feather. And let's increase the feather a little bit that is going to help soften the edge. So let's increase the feather to be now it is really white, so I'm just going to drag this out and we are going to keep it this way. So take a look at this. This is how it is, this is how it is looking. They're going to sue amazing, looking so nice. In the next lesson we're going to take a look at large. We can use lots to change the few and look over or Photo. And we can also use that as a part of color grading. You can also download some loads which can apply in Photoshop. You can also create your own loads inside of Photoshop. Well, we're not going to be touching that we add. Just go into making use of lots to see if we can tune the colors more and more 11. 10. Final Adjustments: Here we are in the final lesson of this class, we're going to be doing any final adjustment we need to do. And we're going to playing with lots to see what is going to give us. Well, if you want to apply the lats, you want to go over to your Layers panel now, one, apply the load over all the whole layer. So we are going to select the last layer and come down to or adjustment layer icon. We're going to click on that and locates Color Lookup. Want to click on that. Now, instead of the properties panel, we're going to have this steady lot fight from the drop-down menu. But before we click on the drop-down menu, we look right here. You can see we have load 3D, lots fight. We have lot of laws that came with Photoshop and that is what we are going to be walking. Now. We're going to select it to Stripe. Look. Now when you click on that, it is going to apply an effect for you. Now you don't want to keep coming down to this part right here, clicking and selecting the stripes, the look and see the one that is really going to work off for you when it just selects one, you can see that we'll have a highlight around that particular rectangle. Now we need keep using the down arrow keys on your keyboard. It is going to switch from one look to another. We're going to use these to keep switching a CD1 that is going walk well for us. I'm loving this job, Blue 3D, but we can check on notice. I also love this one. So I think the futuristic, bleak, the 3D L is really good for me. Now I'm going to click on these blend modes, and I'm going to play with the blend modes. I'm going to set the blend mode to soft plates or valley and selfless soft light is less harsh than or valid, overlays more harsh. Let's try out a screen to screen as though you're working. So I'm going to say that to soft light, this is what is going to give us. Finally, I'm going to come down to this part right here and reduce the opacity. Reduce the opacity, Let's see, somewhere around 20 will be fine. So this is where we have before and this is where we have after the, before and after. From here onwards you can start adding any kind of adjustment you want to add layer, you can add in the curve. I just mentally and do a little bit adjustment. That is, if you want to, I want to add a little bit, I want to darken it a little bit. And this is fine. This is what our before and this is where I have after. You can come down here, again, an adjunct and lack of vibrance. Now you can increase the vibrance and also increase the saturation. But this is really fine by me, I think popping out the color this way, it's really good. Now, this is fine. This is where we want. Now there is one thing left which we need to do, Daddy's to sharpen our Art. So that is the final adjustment we are going to be working on. Major thing. The vibrance is too much, you can reduce it, but I'm really okay with the vibrance right here. So I'm going to make a copy. Lastly, by holding down the Control plus Delta and plus shift plus, that is going to make another copy for me. Now what I want to do is copy IL-10, sharpen the photo itself. So I'm going to hit on Control J again. Now I'm going to go over to my blend mode right here. And I'm going to set the blend mode to Vivid Light. And after setting it to vivid Light, I will go over to feel that scroll all the way down to Other and then high-pass. Now, this is going to apply high-pass filter for me. Now you can see how sharp the ads work is looking. I'm going to take this down to 0.1 and I'm going to increase these. Elizabeth. I don't want to sharpen to be downwards. Okay, So I think this is fine when you click on OK. You might not see that mode or CD effect of it that much. But when I zoom in closely, done it before, and this is where we have after the before and after. Look at it, looking so beautiful. And finally, I want to add one more adjustment or one morpheme that is going to be denoise few there. So I'm going to make another copy, and I'm going to right-click and convert this into a Smart Object. I will go over to scroll down to Noise and then add noise inside of the adenoids. When do I'm just going to click on Gaussian and measure I have monochromatic check. And now this is going to help us add a little bit of noise. I don't want merchandise, I'm going to reduce the mice a little bit. I don't want to be downwards right here. I think this is fine, is kinda givers the few over reality loop, all the vintage look we're really aiming for. So this is it and this is everything precisely from a blank document and arrive at this stage. Now you can go ahead and put in your watermark, share your work, the social media, and also, don't forget to push this into my project section. And when you go through the project video, you are going to get information on how you are going to walk on your own project after following ovaries, we have a separate project which you are going to walk on that is totally different from what we did right here.
