Get Ready to Define Selections!

Objectives for Chapter 5: • Define Selection Functions • Make A Selection • Transform A Selection Notes & Ideas

Defining Selection Function A selection is created to isolate one or more areas of an image. By using selections, you can edit and apply effects and filters to part of your image while leaving the unselected areas unchanged.

Make a Selection There are three types of tools you will be using to make selections (Figure 5.A):

•

Marquee Tools – Makes rectangular and elliptical

•

Lasso Tools – Makes freehand, polygonal, and magnetic selections

•

Magic Wand Tool – Selects areas of similar color

Figure 5.A

Marquee Tools The two marquee tools you will be using are the rectangular

Figure 5.B

and elliptical marquees. The names are pretty self explanatory: use the rectangular marquee tool to select square or rectangular areas, use the elliptical marquee tool to select areas that are round or oval. With an image open, select a marquee tool of your choice from the toolbox, they made be hidden under another tool, if so click and hold the button until the marquee tools menu appears (Figure 5.B). Then click and drag the cursor over the area of your image you want to isolate (Figure5.C). When you release the mouse you will have an active marquee (Figure 5.D). Click outside of the marquee to deselect it.

Lasso Tools The three lasso tools you will be using are the freehand, polygonal, and magnetic lasso tools. The freehand lasso tool creates a freeform selection, the polygonal lasso tool creates a straight-edged selection, and the magnetic lasso snaps to the edges of objects to create a selection. With an image open, select a marquee tool of your choice from the toolbox, they made be hidden under another tool, if so click and hold the button until the lasso tools menu appears (Figure 5.E). To use the freehand lasso, click and hold the mouse button while you create the selection in the shape you want (Figure 5.F), when finished release the mouse button and an active marquee will appear. To use the polygonal lasso tool, click once where you want your selection to start, continue to click once where you want to add points (Figure 5.G), to finish your selection double-click your mouse and an active marquee will appear.

Click once outside of the marquee to deselect a selection made with the freehand lasso tool, double-click outside of the marquee to deselect a selection made with the polygonal or magnetic lasso tool.

Magic Wand Tool The magic wand selects areas of a similar color. With an image open, select the magic wand tool and click once on the area you want to select (Figure 5.I). To deselect the active marquee, click the “Select” menu in the Menu Bar and then click “Deselect”. You can change the options for the Magic Wand Tool using the Options Bar (Figure 5.J). The tolerance determines the range of colors the Magic Wand will select; the lower the number is the fewer colors. Anti-aliased defines a smooth edge. Contiguous selects only touching areas when it is checked, unchecked the Magic Wand will select all similar pixels in the entire image. When Sample All Layers is unchecked, only colors from the active layer are selected. Notes & Ideas

Use Type Tools

Figure 8.A

Type tools are used to enhance images with text. This chapter will introduce you to point type. Point type is a horizontal or vertical line of text that begins where you click on the image.

Add Text The two type tools that will be discussed are the: •

Horizontal Type Tool

•

Vertical Type Tool

As their names suggest, the Horizontal Type tool adds type horizontally and the Vertical Type tool adds type vertically (Figure 8.A). Both of these type tools create point type. When you add type to an image a new type layer is added in the Layers palettes. Notes & Ideas

Decide if you want to create Horizontal or Vertical type. Depending on your decision, choose either the horizontal or vertical type tool from the toolbox (Figure 8.B). The tool you need may be hidden underneath another tool, if so click and hold the button until the tool menu appears. Click once on the image where you would like the type to start. There will be a blinking line on the image where you clicked; this is where your type will start (Figure 8.C). Enter the text using the keyboard (Figure 8.D). To begin a new line press “Enter” on the keyboard. When you are finished entering your text, press “Ctrl” + “Enter” on the keyboard to exit the Type edit mode.

Manipulate Text Once you have exited Type edit mode you may move the layer or add effects to it using the layer techniques discussed in Chapter 3. The four ways to manipulate the actual text that will be discussed are: •

Font Family

•

Font Size

•

Text Alignment

•

Text Color

To edit the actual text you must return to the Type edit mode by double-clicking on the type layer thumbnail of the layer you would like to edit. The text should become highlight and your cursor should become an “I-Beam”. Click and drag the cursor to highlight the text you would like to change (Figure 8.E).

Get Ready to Utilize Filters!

Objectives for Chapter 9: • Utilize Filters • Apply A Filter • Add Lighting Effects Notes & Ideas

Utilize Filters Filters allow you to change the look of your image, for example by giving them the look of a watercolor painting. Filters are applied to the active visible layer. If you would like to apply a filter to a specific area of a layer, select it using one of the selection methods discussed in Chapter 5.

Apply A Filter To apply a filter you will be using the Filter Gallery. The Filter Gallery allows multiple filters to be applied at once. First make sure you have selected the layer or area you want to apply the filter to. Click on “Filter” in the Menu bar, and then click on “Filter Gallery…”. A new window will open, this is the Filter Gallery. The Filter Gallery consists of the following (Figure 9.A): • Preview • Filter categories • Thumbnail of selected filter • Show/Hide filter thumbnails • Options for selected filter • List of filter effects to apply or arrange

image, before committing to it. You can Zoom the Preview area in or out using the Preview Zoom tools. Click on a Filter category to open and close the list of filters in that category. Click on a Filter thumbnail to apply the filter to an image. Each filter has different options for fine-tuning it to meet your specifications. To add more than one Filter Effect to your image click the New Effect icon (Figure 9.B) and choose an additional Filter. You can rearrange the Filter Effects in the list of Filter effects by clicking and dragging them up or down (much like rearranging layers). To hide a Filter Effect click the “Eye” (Figure 9.B) next to the Filter name. To delete a Filter Effect, highlight it and click on the Delete icon (Figure 9.B). Once you are satisfied with the Filter Effects click “OK” to apply them to your image.

Add Lighting Effects

Figure 9.D

Style Drop-Down Menu

Lighting Effects can be added to an image to effective highlight an area. To add Lighting Effects to an image, select “Filter” in the Menu bar, click on “Render”, Then select “Lighting Effects”. A new window called “Lighting Effects” will open (Figure 9.C). If the Preview checkbox in the lower left corner of the window is unchecked, check it now. Use the drop-down menu next to “Style” to choose a lighting effect (Figure 9.D). To change the color of the light, click once in the color box of the “Light Type” area of the window (Figure 9.C). The color picker will open, choose a color and click “OK”. Next set the options for Gloss, Material, Exposure, and Ambience in the “Properties” area of the window (Figure 9.C) by dragging the corresponding slider to the left or right. Gloss determines how much the surface reflects lights from Matte (low reflectance) to Glossy (high reflectance). Material controls whether the light or the object onto which the light is cast is more reflective from Plastic (reflects the light’s color) to Metallic (reflects the object’s color). Exposure increases or decreases the amount of light; positive values will increase it while negative values will reduce it. Ambience diffuses the light as if it was combined with another light in a room, a value of 100 will use only the light source and a value of -100 will remove the light source. To change the color of the ambient light click once in the color box in the "Properties” area of the window (Figure 9.C). The color picker will open, choose a color and click “OK”. When you are satisfied with the results in the preview window, click “OK” to apply the Lighting Effects to your image.

Chapter 10

Get Ready to Save an Image!

Objectives for Chapter 10: • Save An Image • Choose A File Type • Save A File • Save A Copy Of A File Notes & Ideas

Save an Image In the upcoming sections the most common file types will be discussed, along with how to save your images.

Choose a File Type There are many file type options available in Photoshop, this section will discuss three of the most common file types, including: •

PSD

•

JPEG

•

GIF

PSD File Type PSD is an acronym for Photoshop Document format. PSD is the default file format in Photoshop. If you will possibly ever want to edit the changes you made to an image in Photoshop, it is crucial to save your image as a PSD file. PSD files preserve most Photoshop features (such as layers) allowing them to remain when you reopen the file.

JPEG File Type

Figure 10.A

JPEG File Example

Figure 10.B

GIF File Example

JPEG is an acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group format. JPEG file types are the most common file type for photographs (Figure 10.A) and they effectively compress a photograph’s file size. Most image files imported from digital cameras are JPEG files. JPEG files do not preserve Photoshop features (such as layers) when you reopen the file and any transparency is lost. The image will appear as it did when you last saved in Photoshop but it will be a flat image.

GIF File Type GIF is an acronym for Graphics Interchange Format. GIF file types are the most common file type for images with limited colors and shapes (Figure 10.A). GIF files do not preserve Photoshop features (such as layers) when you reopen the file but the transparency is saved. The image will appear as it did when you last saved in Photoshop but it will be a flat image.

Save a File The “Save” option in Photoshop saves the changes you have made to an image in the format the file is currently saved as. To Save a file press “Ctrl” + “S” on your keyboard.

•

ALWAYS keep the original copy of your image. When you first open an image in Photoshop it is wise to use the “Save As” function to save a copy of the file before doing anything else, this way there is no chance you will accidentally overwrite your original image.

•

In addition to the keyboard command “Ctrl” + “S” to save an image, you may also click on File in the Menu bar and then click on Save

•

The keyboard command for “Save As” is “Shift” + “Ctrl” + “S”

•

Save your files often! Unfortunately it is not uncommon for computers to crash or the power to go out, therefore losing all the work your have completed since they last time you saved.

Save a Copy of a File

Figure 10.D

Photoshop Format Window

Figure 10.E

JPEG Options Window

To save a copy of the image the “Save As” option should be used. The Save As option can save an image in a different location or under another file name. You can also use the Save As option to save an image in a different file type. To save a copy of your image, click on File in the Menu bar, and then click on Save As. A Save As window will open (Figure 10.C). First choose where you would like to save the file (computer, CD, flash drive, etc.) using the navigation tools. Next enter a name for the file in the text box next to File Name. Select the file format you would like to save your image as from the drop-down menu next to format. Click “Save”. Depending on the file type you selected another window may open.

• If you saved in PSD format, a Photoshop Format window will open (Figure 10.D). You check or

Figure 10.F

uncheck the Maximize Compatibility Box. The Maximize Compatibility option saves a composite version of the layered image in the file so it can be read by other programs, including previous versions of Photoshop, and maintains the appearance of blended layers.

• If you saved in JPEG format, a JPEG options window will open (Figure 10.E). You can set the image quality by clicking on the drop-down menu next to Quality in the Image Options area of the window. Click OK once you are done.

• If you saved in GIF format, an Adobe Photoshop window will open (Figure 10.F). It will ask if you want to flatten layers, click OK.
