Did you recruit? How to use Photoshop 9 errors in detail

for some Photoshop beginners, there are often many wrong ways to use, or even some veteran, are very likely to have some use of the wrong habits. Here, the small series brings us 9 of places to be aware of when using Photoshop. At the same time, if you know other places to pay attention to, you might as well share it with you.

　　1. Use the wrong image color mode

Sometimes, when you see a picture on Photoshop that is grayed out, it's probably because the color pattern of the picture is converted. Open Image > Mode, look at the selected color mode, the correct should be in RGB mode. In most cases, you need to use RGB mode, like the camera is taken out of the picture is RGB mode, the display is also RGB mode, and some tools can only be used in RGB mode. Some people will ask, when printing, not to convert to CMYK mode? You don't have to worry about that, now almost all printers can process RGB files and convert them to CMYK files for printing. Where to note: When using Photoshop to open a color picture, do not switch between RGB and CMYK mode, because each time the conversion will lose some of the details of the photo.

　　2. The wrong DPI setting

How much do you know about pixels? If you have a document with a 3000x2400 pixel, how many sizes of photos can you print with a 300-resolution printer? The DPI represents resolution, which is the number of pixels per inch length. In Photoshop, the resolution we use is 72 and 300. When the pixels on both sides of the document are the same, the same size pt font, in the 300DPI will be larger than the 72DPI. Therefore, when setting the DPI, you should select the appropriate quantity.

　　3. Create too many layers

Many times, in order to make their late look tall, many people use a number of layers to process the image, which can often be done with a layer of action, also need to split into several layers to do, in fact, this is not only a waste of time, but also easy to confuse the layer. In Photoshop, many tools can reduce the number of layers you use, such as layer styles, smart objects, and so on, take advantage of it!

　　4. Without first converting the adjustment layer to a smart object

A smart object is a layer that contains image data in a grid or vector image, such as Photoshop or Illustrator files. The smart object retains the source content of the image and all its original attributes, and can perform non-destructive editing on the layer. Like performing a non-destructive transformation, you can scale, rotate, skew, distort, pivot, or distort a layer without losing the original image data or reducing the quality because the transform does not affect the original data.

　　5. When using the pen tool to pull the picture, the edges are not handled well

The Pen tool works very well in Photoshop, especially when it comes to drawing, and many people recommend using the Pen tool. Indeed, the pen tool is really handy to use, but this is also in some comparison rules, no depth of the image, and use the pen tool to pull out the image, the edge will be more hard, like scissors cut out the same, once the edge did not handle well, the whole picture looks like pasted up on the same. Moreover, when you pick up some irregular and relatively small things, the pen tool can not achieve the purpose, then you need to find another way.

　　6. Reduce saturation/GO color/black and white to get black and white photos

When converting photos into Black-and-white images, reducing saturation, coloring, and Black-and-White is a very fast method, but the process of obtaining black-and-white images is not controllable. In addition, the reduction of some colors and the actual use of black and white film produced a deviation, people feel "very false." In fact, there are many ways to get black and white images, such as using a channel mixer to adjust the layer, the use of "gradient mapping", adjust the use of the adjustment of the layer and so on these are all possible, in the process of conversion can adjust the image to achieve better output effect.

　　7. Do not create a new layer when using the stamp and Repair tool

When using the stamp and repair tools, the sampled layers are optional (current layer, current layer and bottom layer and all layers), so when you use both tools, you can create a new blank layer to work on, making it much easier to modify it when the effect is not ideal.

　　8. Excessive modification

For the post processing of the photos, everyone has their own ideas, however, not to deal with the more the better. You can choose to modify some of the details when you are ready to take a shot. On the Internet, you can often see the original film than the effect of better examples, mostly because of the result of excessive modification. After a later adjustment, compared with the original film, to see which is better, but also to listen to other people's views.

　　9. High light and shadow lose detail

When you adjust the exposure and contrast of the photos, the details of the high light and shadow are very much needed attention, but it is the easiest place to overlook. Therefore, in the adjustment, for the photo of the high light and shadow parts, it is best to be able to adjust them alone, to retain the details.

The end of the tutorial, the above is Photoshop 9 errors in the use of the method of detailed analysis, I hope to help you!
