106. Filter processing effect in pixels, that is, the same parameters to handle different resolution of the image, the effect will be different.

In the RGB mode, you can use all the filters for the graphic, and the text must become a graphic to use the filter.

108. Use the new filter should first experiment with the default settings, and then try a lower configuration, try a higher configuration. Observe the following changes in the process and results. Use a smaller image for processing and save the original copy of the file instead of using restore. This allows the operator to compare the results and write down the settings that they really like.

109. Before selecting a filter, place the image in a newly created layer and then process the layer with a filter. This method allows the operator to mix the effect of the filter into the image, or change the blending mode to get the desired effect. This method also allows the operator to change the filter effect of the image at any time in the design process.

110. Even if the operator has used the filter to process the layer, you can also choose the "Fading ..." command. The user can use this command as long as you adjust the opacity, but also to change the process color mode. The operator is free to use a filter to handle the layer before closing the command. Note that if you use restore, you cannot change it again.

111. Some filters can handle a single channel at a time, such as a green channel, and can get very interesting results. Note that you can use any filter when working with grayscale images.

113. Users can break the appropriate settings to observe what effect occurs. Sometimes a special effect can be obtained when the user does not set the filter as usual. For example, the virtual mask or dust and scratches of the parameters set high, and sometimes smooth the color of the image, the effect is particularly good.

114. There is a technology that produces better special effects, that is, the same (too many times). This technique is especially good for Western Europe in the case of operation filters. Of course, it can also be used for other filters. Users can also use the same filter settings, or with a completely different filter, multiple times for the same selection, see how the effect.

115. The effect of some filters is very obvious, the subtle adjustment of the parameters can lead to significant changes, so carefully selected when used, so as to avoid losing the style of each filter because of the excessive range of changes. Image processing can only be used as samples or examples, but they are not the best works of art, the use of filters should also be based on the needs of artistic creation, selectively.

This makes it easy to avoid false choices.

123. You cannot drag multiple layers to another document (even if they are linked) in the layers panel-this will only move the selected layer.

124. The quickest way to organize multiple layers into a group is to link them first and then select the grouped link Layer command (ctrl+g). When you want to move multiple layers between different documents, you can use the Move tool to drag multiple layers between documents at the same time. This technique can also be used to merge (ctrl+e) multiple visible layers (because the "teaming command with the previous level" becomes the Group Link Layer command) when the current layer is linked to another layer.

125. In the layers panel, hold down the ALT key and click between the two layers to make them a group. This is useful when some layers are linked in some and you just want to group a subset of them. Because the marshalling command (CTRL+G) becomes a marshalling link Layer command (CTRL+G) when the current layer has links to other layers.

126. Double-click a layer with the word "T" in the Layer Control Panel to edit the text again.

127. Press ALT to click on the desired layer before the eye icon can hide/show all other layers.

128. Alt-click the brush icon in front of the current layer to remove its links to all other layers.

129. To clear all layer effects on a layer, hold down the ALT key to double-click the layer effect icon on the layer.

130. To turn off one of the effects, hold down the ALT key and select its name in the layer → layer style submenu, or you can cancel its apply tag in the Layer Effects dialog box.

131. Here is a time-saving way to increase the adjustment layer: just hold down CTRL and click the "Create New Layer" icon (at the bottom of the layer panel) to select the type of adjustment layer you want to add!

132. In addition to editing the layer mask in the channel panel, press ALT to click on the Mask icon on the layer panel to open it; hold down SHIFT and click on the Mask icon to close/Open the mask (a Red Cross x will be shown to close the mask). Press and hold Alt+shift the layer mask can be displayed in Ruby color (50% red). Hold down the CTRL key and click the Mask icon to load its transparent selection.

133. The mask joined by the "Add Layer Mask" icon (at the bottom of the layer panel) on the Level Panel shows all the contents of the current selection by default; The mask that is added by holding down the alt-key "Add layer Mask" icon hides the contents of the current selection.

134. The current tool for the mobile tool (or hold down the CTRL key at any time), right-click the canvas to open the list of all layers at the current point (sorted from top to bottom): Select the name of the layer from the list to make it the current layer.

135. alt-click the right mouse button to automatically select the top level of the current point, or open the Mobile Tools Options Panel automatically select the Layer option can also be achieved.

136. alt+shift+ Right click to toggle whether the current layer is linked to the top level.

137. When we need multi-layer selection, we can select the area in the file with the selection tool first. Draw a selection of a virtual box, and then hold down the "Alt" key, when the cursor into a lower right corner with a small "-" "+" (which means to reduce the selected area or pixel), in the first box in the inside pull out the second box; Shift key, when the cursor into a lower right corner with a small "+" big "+" number, and then in the second box pull out the third selection box, so that the two rotate use, you can make multi-layer selection. You can also select an irregular object in this way.

138. Press shift+ "+" (forward) and shift+ "-" keys (backward) to switch on the synthesis mode of various layers. We can also press alt+shift+ "one character" to quickly switch the compositing mode.

Image processing Techniques

149. Press the CTRL key, click the preview area with the mouse, enlarge the image, press the ALT key, click the preview area with the mouse, and reduce the image.

150. Create a transparent background picture
Generally speaking, the transparent background of the network of pictures are GIF format, in Photoshop you can first use the instruction "image" → "mode" → "Indexed color" to convert the picture to 256 colors, and then use the instruction fileexportgif89a to output the picture to be a transparent background GIF file , of course, don't forget to use Photoshop's selection eyedropper in this command window to make some of the colors in the picture Transparent! When you save the file, do not choose to save or saved as, but directly select the "Output GIF" then, choose the transparent color, if you need transparent parts are white, choose white, and so on when the picture to hide the background picture and then save for the WEB can be transparent.
151. Why is the handwriting not continuous in Chinese on the GIF?
First turn the GIF into RGB, write the word back to index Color.
152. If the image bright color due to the implementation of the USM Sharpening command to produce excessive phenomenon, you can first convert the image into Lab color mode, and then in the brightness channel to perform the USM Sharpening command, so as not only to achieve clear image of the purpose, but also to avoid color impact.

153. To check whether the image entered by the scanner is ideal, you can open the information palette to see that the light and dark values of the image reach 240 and the dark part reaches 10, indicating that the image contains enough detail.

154. To convert a color picture to a black-and-white picture, you can convert the color mode to lab mode, then click the Value Channel in the channel panel, and then perform the image → mode → grayscale command, because the field of lab mode is wider, so the image level is richer after the transformation.

155. When using Photoshop, we often need to look for the right footage from a large number of galleries, and then you can use ACDSee to help you arrange the ACDSee window with the Photshop window on the screen, and then drag the selected picture in the ACDSee navigation window with the mouse (You can press the CTRL key to select multiple files at the same time) to the Photoshop window, wait until the mouse pointer appears under the "+" small icon after releasing the mouse, the picture is opened in the Phoshop.

156. What pictures fit to lose weight
In general, according to our requirements of the picture quality to make corresponding weight loss measures. There are still some diagrams to be modified, if you easily merge it and then click to save, then your future changes will become complex. Because after storage can no longer restore the split layer, we have to think twice before you do OH. Therefore do not blindly pursue capacity and ignore the quality, and bring unpredictable trouble to the future!

157. image file Weight loss
Resize Image: A larger size image occupies more disk space because it has more pixels. However, if you try to resize the image using the width and Height properties in the tag, you will be disappointed because it does not save download time.
Using thumbnails: By setting a very small image version, the user clicks it to see the full picture. However, you should indicate the full size of the picture next to it so that the user can decide whether to view the whole picture.
JPEG storage GIF: JPEG compression works best for images with many colors.
Increase compression ratio: if it is a JPEG file, you can save it again with a higher compression ratio to reduce the file size. But don't forget the price: a higher compression ratio reduces image quality.
Reduce color depth: A GIF image has a maximum color depth of 8 bits (256 colors), less information per pixel, and smaller final file size.
Adjust the contrast level in the image: Most graphics software provides rework options such as gamma correction and highlight (highlight)/Medium (Midtone)/Shadow (shadow) to change the contrast within an image. Reducing these values typically reduces file size.
Suppress jitter: dithering refers to using the colors in an existing palette to approach colors that are not in the palette. Jitter increases the size of the GIF file.

158. How to give a picture of a font weight loss
Many times we like to use Photoshop "Font" features to add a few words to the picture, so that the picture more beautiful. But the finishing touch may make the amount of space occupied in vain soar from dozens of k to the capacity of M count. Strange, why change suddenly so big?
In fact, in the face of this situation after you merge the layer, and then use other tools such as ACDSee transformation format or Save as another format to delete the original picture naturally become smaller! Generally save As. jpg is more appropriate.
If your picture's quality requirements are not very high, you can merge the layers first and then convert it to index color (below 256) or control size based on the. jpg format.

159. File Weight Loss
For example, in Photoshop, put a *. TIF file Save, originally more than 100 K of the file how can become more than 3M? In fact, you just have to change a format, and then delete the original file on it.

160. What format file is scanned in black and white image
If it's a chart, use a GIF, if it's a photo, JPG. Black and white pictures are recommended to convert to grayscale, and then saved as GIF, if the color is below 256, GIF is the best--the file size is small, no loss of quality, if it is true color, it must be JPG.

161. The transition from reality to virtual
How do you implement the opacity of a selected area or layer from high to low in Photoshop? Simply feather the selection or make a layer mask, create a new layer and make it into a black and white gradient, and then merge the Layer selection screen that requires the effect.
You can also use the gradient mask to transition this area or layer from above to 100% opacity to the bottom 0%. These hundred points can also be changed arbitrarily.

162. Image Mixing Overlay
In advertising design, the synthesis and superposition of images are often used. In fact, the implementation of the function is very simple:
Open the main image as a background picture.
Then open another diagram, Crtl+a, crtl+c copy.
Back to the main image, Crtl+v paste. A new layer appears here. In this layer, the selection mode is multiply or screen. At this point, the two images have been superimposed together. Finally adjust the position of the image to the best.
The artistic effect is not appear, you can also clone your twin compatriots!

163. How to achieve the function of drawing dashes in Photoshop
Double-click Want to use the brush, in spacing place 100% change bigger, will leave the gap, and then use brush painting is. First draw the path, define the Brush:space set above 200, open the path panel--storke path.
How do I overlap two Zhang Tong size graphs with semitransparent effects?
In the Layers panel: You can change the transparency of the upper layer or change the blending mode of the layers.

164. Remove Burrs
You can try to use the path tool or magic wand to check out the outline of the image, and then use the "feather" of "select", and then remove it, it may be better.

165. How to store the image of the deduction and not the background of the back
"Copy" the selected area of the dotted line, then "Paste", then delete the bottom, and finally "Ctrl+s". Note the storage format should be. PSD format or. eps format or. ai format.

166. Quick Fill
Open the picture you want to fill, execute CTRL + A, select all images, perform edit → define pattern, define the picture as a pattern, and then perform edit → fill.

167. Remove the net pattern of the picture
(1) Sweep a picture of a pictorial or magazine
In general, the formation of the mesh is due to the pictorial or magazine printing paper texture is more coarse and caused. The DPI value should be set higher when scanning, the higher the resolution, the larger the image scanned, and the higher the relative fineness. A higher resolution creates good conditions for the next step in image reduction and filter processing.
(2) Adjust the picture to the appropriate size
Select the image size option under the Image menu, eject the Image Size dialog box, and determine that the zoom option below is checked, and change the width pixel to percent in pixel dimensions. At this point the width value becomes 100, at which point you can enter the desired percentage value to reduce the picture. The reduced pattern has diminished slightly.
(3) Eliminate the net pattern with Gauss Blur
Select Show Channel on the Window menu, and the channel panel appears, with four channels RGB, Red, green, and blue respectively. Select the red channel and the picture appears as black and white. In the Filter menu, select Blur → Gaussian blur ..., which pops up the Gaussian Blur dialog box. Adjust the RADIUS value, control the scope of the blur, so that the red channel of the net is almost invisible, the picture content of the micro-fuzzy-like stop. The green and blue channels are then adjusted separately in this way to make the mesh in the channel disappear. Finally returned to the RGB channel, at this time the picture has no net ripple interference. Note: Radius values cannot be set too large to cause an excessive effect on the RGB channel to dim the picture.
(4) Adjust the final effect
If the mesh is too clear to cause a larger radius, then the image in the RGB channel will be somewhat blurred. If you want to make the contents of a picture clearer, you can also perform the sharpen clear effect on the filter menu. Finally, use the "adjust" → "level" or "brightness/contrast" options in the Image menu to set the values you need for the contrast to achieve the final satisfaction.
