21 PS tips and experience sharing

PS Do not need more introduction, most people will use, but to use the fine, you need a lot of practical practice. and practice, if can be good at using skills, of course, will be more than enough. Recent time to their work in some PS small method summed up a bit, are some more practical. In the future, if you find some small skills will be added to.

How much is the width of this picture? Did someone ask you that? A shape or a bitmap under a regular path, how quickly do you know its width? (pictured below)

Tips: Select the layer--f8 (information)--ctrl+t, you can see the width of the height (W H).

Second, in the PSD drag layer between the time, if you hit the canvas width is smaller than the size of the drag into the image, there is no faster way?

(pictured below)

900*700, drag the picture to the wide-200*200 canvas.

will become this

Tips: Image Menu--show All. can be resolved. No need to change the canvas size

Three. Free transformation of the constituency (pictured below)

Tips: Select a layer. Select-Transform a selection. It's very helpful to do some very complex masking effects.

Four. Align the vector tool with the change and pixel grid (figure below)

The default is the tick, the hook removed after the sample will be (as shown below)

Tips: You can only resize one pixel at a time if the default check is selected. The hook can be removed with the direction of the key to fine-tune (a pixel size can be fine-tuned dozens of times, tuned very fine), which for some irregular shape fine-tuning is very helpful.

V. Copy color values

Tips: The Eyedropper tool-the right button to copy (the hexadecimal code that copies the color). Much more convenient.

Six, super Excellent domain tips

Let's say it's a good picture you need to print

The color of the gray section of the picture is a gamut warning, and there may be problems printing.

Tips: Menu bar. View--gamut warning. You can check it while you do it.

Seven, make a 300 pixel/inch printing work, because of high resolution. There is a difference between previewing on PS and actually printing the size,

How to solve?

Adjustment in

The effect after adjustment

Tips: View-print size. You can preview the size of the actual print

八、一个 psd more layers, if some of the layers because you need to lock them, you can use the selection tool (V), press ALT Click to select the locked layer.

Nine, about the layer mask. Draw a hidden selection in advance on the layer, then click on the Mask button, and the effect is to block out the part of the selection (the default effect). But there are times when we need to cover up our own constituencies. (as pictured)

Final effect chart, no need to reverse, one-step

Tips: Make selections on layers, press ALT and click on the Mask button to reverse the Mask occlusion area.

Ten, hold down ALT to drag the layer inside PS is "linked smart object".

A simple addition to the smart object on the link.

Benefits: If there are more than 200 PSD documents in a project, you can make the same part of a project (such as the head Tail list) into a linked smart object, the same part when the demand side to make changes, we only need to find this "linked Intelligent object" modified once, The other 200-odd PSD will be completely modified. The next time you start the project PS document, you only need to select the layer on the layers panel--right mouse button--Update the modified content.

Note that "linked smart objects" need to specify the path, do not easily delete or change the storage location, if you modify the location, you need to be very clear about the storage path (often recommended and corresponding items under the same path). The next time you change a location, you can recover it by "resolving broken links" in the previous illustration. Yes, layer composite and extract resources is also more practical things, I hope we can use.

Xi. about layer groups.

Ctrl+shift+g ungroup; Hold down CTRL to open all top-level layer groups at once; hold down ALT to open the currently selected top-level layer group and nested layer group, and hold down the Ctrl+alt to open all top-level layer groups and nested layer groups at once; Click again to close

12, in PS to the bitmap into a vector map

Step one: Make a selection--turn a selection into a path

The second step: Select the Pen tool, the property bar click on the shape can be.

13. Calculate the internal and external radii of the rounded rectangle (pictured below)

This picture inside and out of the rounded corner rectangle radius is 50PX, looks very uncoordinated, how to do?

Tips: Outer fillet radius-border height = inner corner radius.

14. Add a clipping mask to the gradient overlay layer (figure below)

The cut layer disappears when you cut the shape.

Mix the options slightly and adjust

Final effect.

Add masks on layer styles with strokes (figure below)

How to remove the middle stroke

Just a little bit of tweaking, okay?

Final effect

16, separate the layer style

It's just a rectangle with a normal layer style.

After adjustment, the layer style can be directly applied to the rectangle

Tips: Layers-Layer styles-create layers. Extrapolate, Ingenious Oh!

17, in the Layers panel, select the layer, alt-click the mouse up or down directly drag the layer can be directly up or down to copy the layer; Press CTRL and click the New Layer button to create a new layer down below. Ctrl+shift+alt+n You can create a new layer, and between two shapes on the layers panel, hold down CTRL and select one of the layers to drag the mouse down or up ... You can try the effect now, look forward to your discovery ...

18. Quick way to fill text

When you've finished drawing a text box, but you're not sure what the demand side of the copy is, try this tool, which will help you quickly fill in the text and quickly preview the layout (pictured).

19. How to make the drawing effect quickly (as shown below)

Step one: Create a new canvas--rectangular tool Draw circle--layer style gradient overlay (pictured below)

The second step: the gradient type to noise, color model according to their preferences, randomization can be previewed at any time the type of wire drawing effect, hurriedly try it! If you're not comfortable with it, you can separate the gradient layer style and adjust it (as shown below).

How to detach a layer style, as explained in section 16th

20, Layer style scaling effect

Layer-style layers when scaling is required, a situation occurs when the layer is smaller, but the layer style remains the same (figure)

This happens when you shrink the text (pictured below)

The text gets smaller, but the layer style doesn't get smaller. Obviously, this is not what we want, what's the solution?

Would that be a lot more co-ordinated?

21, generate the user Avatar plug-in and website

Have you encountered a large number of app avatars at work, but don't want to find one? Next, share a website and a plugin for everyone to refer to http://uifaces.com/(own research how to use it). The plugin that generates the user avatar is packaged in the attachment
