Photoshop Tweaks (A Must See!!) by silvolexy(m): 9:58am On Jul 28, 2015 |
My name is DASILVA, CEO of DasilvaConcepts, I am a Graphics Artist and I design with photoshop mainly. I am not perfect but I want to be the best. I have received a lot of SOS (lol) from people with zeal to learn photoshop and now am officially opening this nairaland thread just to teach and open eyes to hidden things about photoshop. All images, brushes and plugins that I will be talking about or using in practical aspects on this thread will I provide links for downloading. I will also teach us how we can create our own brushes. During the course of this teaching, you will learn how to add effects (Sunshine, rainy, Sunny-Rainy etc.) removing and adding elements to picture and also popular demand. Cartooning pictures. Next thread will be describing some basic tools in photoshop. Enjoy. For enquiries, 09035547178 (Whatsapp), silvolexy@gmail.com 1 Like

Let's get acquainted with the toolbox. (Similar in all photoshop) only Slight changes. The toolbox below is for photoshop cs2.
|
Re: Photoshop Tweaks (A Must See!!) by silvolexy(m): 12:33am On Jul 29, 2015 |
The toolbox in Photoshop is split up into 4 unique categories
so that finding the right tool is never a hassle. Those
categories are:
Selection, Crop & Slice Tools
Retouch & Paint Tools
Drawing & Type Tools (Vector Tools)
Annotations & Measurement Tools
In addition to these 4 sections a few other components
make up the toolbox, most notably, the Foreground and
Background colors.
Now that you see how the tools are all organized, let’s take
a look at some of the most vital tools Photoshop has to
offer. This is really just a cursory glance of the toolbox, as
we’d be crazy to go into detail for EVERY SINGLE tool
Photoshop has to offer in a single lesson, but you ought to
now have an understanding what some of the tools are
capable of. We’ll go over how to use many of these tools in
later lessons.
Selection Tools
The Marquee Tools are used for selecting objects such as
rectangles, squares, and ellipses.
The Move Tool is used to move selections, objects, and
layers.
There are several Lasso Tools which are used to make
irregular selections. There is a polygonal lasso tool for
polygon selections, and a magnetic lasso tool which
automatically follows edges of objects.
The Magic Wand Tool selects an area of similar colors in a
single click (such as the white in the cloud logo).
The Crop Tool allows users to redefine their active image
area but not resize the ENTIRE image. It’s sort of like cutting
out a smaller picture from a larger photo with a pair of
scissors.
Retouch Tools
There are several healing tools in Photoshop which are
used to repair imperfections in images, or handle blemishes
and red-eye.
With the Clone Stamp Tool, a user may select a source
starting point somewhere on an image, and then paint
elsewhere using that starting point as a reference,
effectively cloning the source.
The Eraser Tool can be used to erase parts of an image,
selection, or layer.
The Sharpen Tool is used to sharpen edges in an image,
while the Blur Tool burs edges. The Smudge Tool
smudges an image, similar to using fingerpaint.
The Dodge Tool lightens parts of an image while the Burn
Tool darkens. The Sponge Tool is used to saturate, or
desaturate parts of an image.
Painting Tools
The Brush and Pencil tools are used to paint strokes in
graphics. These tools can be highly customized for very
effective painting.
The Fill Tools are used to fill entire layers, selections and
areas with a solid color, or gradient.
Vector Drawing & Type Tools
The Type Tools are used for creating and setting type in
an image. Both vertical and horizontal type can be created.
The Pen Tools are used to create clear shapes and paths
which can be used as vector objects that can be scaled to
any size.
Cutom Shapes are vector objects that can be created on
the fly from a list of presets (including user created shapes).
Foreground / Background Color
A foreground color and background color can be set
to be used to paint with, color text, and fill objects among
other things. This view provides an easy way to see what
colors are currently selected, and allows for easy switching
between two different colors.
Using Tools
To actually use a tool varies from case to case (again, we’ll
be covering nearly everything you’d want to know in the
future lessons). To Select a Tool from the toolbox, simply
click it once. If the tool displayed has a black arrow in the
bottom right corner, that means that there are more tools of
that type hidden underneath it. To select one of these
hidden tools, hold down the mouse button while over it, and
then release once you’re over the tool you’d like to select. |
