We can also obtain the line of the original path, but can eliminate the moment teeth.

91. Converting the selected region to a path is a very practical operation. This function is consistent with the corresponding icon function in the control panel. When this function is called, the required property settings can be performed in the make work pqth setting window that appears.

92. when using the pen tool to create a path, you can press the Shift key to force the path or direction to line to a horizontal, vertical, or 45 degrees angle.

Filter techniques

98. Filter shortcut

CTRL + f -- use the filter you just used again.

CTRL + ALT + f -- use the new option to use the filter you just used.

CTRL + Shift + f -- remove the filter used last time or adjust the effect or change the merging mode.

99. In the filter window, press ALT and the cancel button will change to the reset button to restore the initial state. To enlarge the image preview size in the filter dialog box, press Ctrl and Click Preview area to zoom in. Otherwise, the image in the preview area decreases rapidly by pressing alt.

100. The first line of the filter menu records the usage of the previous filter to facilitate repeated execution.

101. On the layers panel, you can adjust the opacity and color mixing of the effect after the filter is executed (the object to be operated must be a layer ).

102. The selection of a range of feathers (feather), can reduce the feeling of abrupt.

103. when using filters → rendering → clouds filters, to generate more obvious cloud patterns, you can press and hold the Alt key before executing this command; to generate a low-diffuse cloud effect, you can hold down the Shift key before executing the command.
104. when you use a filter from "filter" to "rendering" to "lighting effect", if you want to copy the light source in the dialog box, you can press and hold the Alt key before dragging the light source to achieve copying.

105. process the selected region. If no region is selected, the entire image is processed. If only one layer or channel is selected, only the current layer or channel is used.

106. The processing effect of the filter is measured in pixels. That is to say, if the same parameter is used to process images of different resolutions, the effect will be different.

107. In the RGB mode, you can use all the filters for the image. The text must be converted to the image before the filter can be used.

108. first use the default settings experiment to use the new filter, then try the lower configuration, and then try the higher configuration. Observe the following changes and results. Use a smaller image for processing and save the copied original file instead of "restoring ". This allows the operator to compare the results and write down the settings he really liked.

109. Before selecting a filter, place the image in a new layer and use the filter to process the layer. This method allows the operator to mix the effect of the filter to the image, or change the color mixing mode to obtain the desired effect. This method also allows the operator to change the filter effect of the image at any time during the design process.

110. Even if the operator has used a filter to process the layer, select the "Fade..." command. When you use this command, you only need to adjust the opacity and change the mixed color mode. Before the command is completed, the operator can process the layer with a filter. Note: If you use "Restore", you cannot change it any more.

111. Some filters can process a single channel at a time, such as a green channel, and get very interesting results. Note that any filter can be used to process grayscale images.

112. processing alpha-channel data with a filter will produce exciting results (grayscale images can also be processed). Then, the channel will be used as the selection, and other filters will be applied to process the entire image. This technology is especially suitable for Crystal refraction filters.

113. the user can break through the appropriate settings and observe what effect has taken place. When users do not set filters as usual, they sometimes get special effects. For example, you can set the parameters of the virtual mask or dust and scratches to a higher level, and sometimes smooth the color of the image. The effect is particularly good.

114. There is a technology that can produce better special effects, that is, the same (the number of times is not suitable for too many ). This technology is especially good for Western Europe. Of course, it can also be used in other filters. You can also use the same filter to set the filter, or use a completely different filter, multiple times for the same selection, to see how it works.

115. Some filters have very obvious effects, and slight parameter adjustments may lead to significant changes. Therefore, you should carefully select them when using them to avoid losing the style of each filter due to a large variation. Processing of transition images can only be used as samples or examples, but they are not the best works of art. filters should also be selectively used according to the needs of artistic creation.

Layer skills

116. to move the selected layer up: Next, press Ctrl +] to open the current layer. Press Ctrl +, you can move the current layer to another layer.

117. Drag the layer to be copied to the "new" icon at the top of the Panel to create a new layer.

121. When deleting a layer directly, you can hold down the Alt key and move the cursor to the garbage bin on the layer control panel and click the mouse.

122. press Ctrl, and your mobile tool will have the automatic selection function. When you click an object on a layer, Photoshop will automatically switch to the layer where the object is located; however, when you open the ctrl key, your mobile tool will not have the automatic selection function, which will easily prevent incorrect selection.

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

124. To orchestrate multiple layers into a group, the quickest way is to link them first, and then select the Group link layer command (CTRL + G ). To move multiple layers between different documents, you can use the mobile tool to drag multiple layers between documents at the same time. This technology can also be used to merge (CTRL + E) multiple visible layers (because the current layer is connected to other layers, the "Group command with the previous layer" is changed to the "Group link layer" command ).

125. Press the Alt key in the layer panel and click between two layers to combine them into a group. This function is very useful when some layer links are in and you just want to group some of them. Because the grouping command (CTRL + G) is converted into the grouping link layer command (CTRL + G) when the current layer is connected to other layers ).

Color skills

139. Photoshop is a 32-bit application. To correctly view files, you must set the screen to 24-bit color.

140. run the "View"> "New View" command to generate a new window, and then run "View"> "preview"> "CMYK" to view the images in both modes.

141. Click the straw or cross icon on the window to change the size and color mode from the pop-up menu.

142. Press shift and click the color bar under the Color panel to change the chromatographic type displayed. Alternatively, you can right-click the color bar and select other color modes from the pop-up Color Bar option menu.

143. click any blank (Gray) area on the palette panel to add a custom color to the palette. Press ctrl to remove a color and shift to replace a color.

144. By copying and pasting the hexadecimal color value displayed in the Photoshop color picker, You can exchange color data between Photoshop and other programs (other programs that support hexadecimal color values.

145. When the color range dialog box is opened, you can press Ctrl to switch between the image and preview selection. If you press shift, the straw can be converted into a selection straw with the "+" symbol. If you press ALT, the straw will become a selection straw with the "-" symbol.
146. Press SHIFT + backspace to fill in the dialog box.

147. Directly switch the color mode on the Color Selection control panel. You can press shift and move the cursor over the color bar and click the mouse.

148. to convert a color image to a gray image, the common method is to use "image"> "Mode"> "gray", or "image"> "de-color ". However, there is now a way to make the color converted to grayscale more delicate. The procedure is to first convert the image to the LAB color mode: "image" → "Mode" → "Lab color". Then, go to the channel panel and delete Channel A and channel B, then you can get a grayscale image that is more delicate.

Image processing skills

149. Press ctrl and Click Preview area to enlarge the image. press ALT and Click Preview area to zoom out the image.

150. Create a transparent background image

Generally, images with transparent backgrounds in the network are in GIF format. In Photoshop, you can convert the image to 256 colors by using the command "image"> "Mode"> "index color, use the command file/export/gif89a to output the image to a GIF file containing a transparent background. Of course, do not forget to use the color drop tube of Photoshop in this command window to set some colors in the image to transparent! When saving files, do not save or save them as files. Instead, directly select "output GIF" and select a transparent color. If the transparent part is white, select white, similarly, you can hide the background image and save it for the Web to make it transparent.

151. Why is the handwriting discontinuous when I write Chinese characters on the GIF image?

First convert GIF to RGB, and then convert it back to index color.

152. if the brightness of an image is excessively colored by executing the USM sharpen command, you can first convert the image to the LAB color mode, and then execute the USM sharpen command in the brightness channel, this not only achieves the goal of clear images, but also avoids the impact on colors.

153. if you want to check whether the image entered by the scanner is ideal, you can open the information board to observe that the brightness and darkness of the image reach 240 while the darkness reach 10, indicates that the image contains sufficient details.

154. to convert a color image to a black or white image, you can first convert the color mode to the lab mode, and then click the brightness channel in the channel panel, then execute the "image"> "Mode"> "grayscale" command. Because the color gamut of the lab mode is wider, the converted image will be more appealing.

155. when using Photoshop, we often need to find appropriate materials and images from a large number of image libraries. ACDSee can be used for help. You can arrange the ACDSee and photshop windows on the screen at the same time, in the ACDSee window, drag the selected image (you can press Ctrl to select multiple files at the same time) to the Photoshop window, when the "+" icon appears under the mouse pointer and the mouse is released, the image is opened in phoshop.

156. What images are suitable for weight loss?

In general, we need to make corresponding weight loss measures based on the image quality we require. Some images always need to be modified. if you merge them and click Save, your future modifications will become complicated. Because after storage, you can no longer restore and split layers. You have to think twice. Therefore, do not blindly pursue capacity and ignore quality, and bring unpredictable troubles to the future!

157. Image File slimming

Resize the image: a larger image occupies more disk space because it has more pixels. However, if you try to adjust the image size by using the width and height attributes in the tag, you will be disappointed because this will not save the download time.

Use a thumbnail: by setting a small image version, you can click it to see the full image. However, you should specify the full graph size next to it so that you can decide whether to view the full graph.

Save GIF as JPEG: JPEG compression is most suitable for images of many colors.

Increase compression ratio: If a jpeg file is used, you can use a higher compression ratio to save it again to reduce the file size. But don't forget the cost: A high compression ratio reduces image quality.

Reduced color depth: The color depth of a GIF image can be up to 8 bits (256 colors). Each pixel contains less information, and the final file will be smaller.

Adjust the contrast level in the image: most graphic software provides re-coloring options such as Gamma Correction and highlight/midtone/shadow) to change the comparison in an image. Reducing these values can usually reduce the file size.

Suppress jitter: Jitter refers to the use of colors in the existing palette to approach colors that are not present in the palette. Jitter increases the size of the GIF file.

158. How to lose weight for images with fonts

Most of the time, we like to use the "font" function of Photoshop to add a few words to the image to make the image more beautiful. However, this eye-catching pen may make the occupied space soar from dozens of K to m-counting capacity. Strange, why is the change suddenly so big?

In fact, in the face of this situation, after you merge the layers, use other tools such as ACDSee to convert the format or save it as another format, and then delete the original image will naturally become smaller! It is more appropriate to save it as .jpg.

If your image quality requirements are not very high, you can merge the layers first and then convert it to index color(256color to lower limit and control the size based on the .jpg format.

159. File slimming

For example, how can I save another *. tif file in Photoshop? How can a file with more than 100 kb be changed to more than 3 MB? In fact, you only need to change the format and then delete the original file.

160. What format is scanned for a black-and-white image?

GIF is used for charts and jpg is used for photos. It is recommended that you convert a black or white image to a grayscale image and save it as GIF. If the color is less than 256, it is best to use GIF-the file size is small and there is no loss of quality; if it is a real color, JPG is required.

161. Transition from real to virtual

In Photoshop, how does one realize the opacity of a selected area or layer from high to low gradient? It is very easy to create a selection area or a layer mask, create a new layer to make it 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 the area or layer from top to 100% opacity to the bottom 0%. The score can be changed at will.

162. Image mixing and superposition

In AD Design, image synthesis and superposition are often used. In fact, the implementation function is very simple:

Open the main image as the background image.

Next, open another figure, crtl + A all selected, crtl + C copy.

Return to the main image and paste it with crtl + v. A new layer appears here. In this layer, select the multiply or screen mode. At this time, the two images have been combined. Finally, adjust the image position to the best position.

Is there any artistic effect? You can clone your twins!

163. How to draw dotted lines in Photoshop

Double-click the desired brush and change the size of 100% to a greater value in the spacing area, leaving a gap. Then, use the brush to draw the image. First, draw a path and define the brush: space is located above 200. Open the path panel -- storke path.

How do I overlap two images of the same size with a translucent effect?

On the layer panel: You can change the transparency of the upper layer or the mixed mode of the layer.

164. Remove Edges

You can try to use a path tool or magic wand to draw out the outer contour of the image, and then use "selection" to "Feather", and then reselect and delete it, which may be better.

165. How can we store the deducted graph instead of the background color?

Copy the area selected by the dotted line, and then paste. Then, delete the bottom layer and press Ctrl + S ". Note that the storage format should be. PSD,. EPS, or. AI.

166. Quick filling

Open the image to be filled, execute Ctrl + A, select all images, execute "edit" → "define pattern", define the image as a pattern, and then execute "edit" → "fill ".

167. Remove the image's mesh

(1) scan an image of a pictorial or magazine.

In general, the appearance of the net grain is caused by the rough texture of the pictorial or magazine printing paper. The DPI value should be higher during scanning. The higher the Resolution, the larger the image to be scanned, and the higher the precision. A high resolution will create good conditions for downgrading the image and filter processing.

(2) Adjust the image size to a proper size.

Select the "image size" option under the "image" menu. The "image size" dialog box is displayed, and the "restricted proportion" option is selected, in the pixel size, change the pixel after the width to the percentage. At this time, the width value is changed to 100. You can enter the expected percentage value to reduce the image's proportional ratio. The reduced mesh pattern has been slightly reduced.

(3) Use Gaussian blur to remove the mesh

Select "display channel" in the "window" menu. The channel panel appears. The four channels are RGB, red, green, and blue. Select the red channel, and the image is displayed as black and white. Select "Blur"> "Gaussian Blur…" in the "filter" menu ...", The Gaussian Blur dialog box is displayed. Adjust the radius value to control the Blur range, so that the mesh lines in the red channel are almost invisible, and the image content is slightly blurred. Then, adjust the green and blue channels respectively to make the mesh lines in the channel disappear. Finally, return to the RGB channel. At this time, the image has no interference with the mesh. Note: The radius value cannot be too large, so as not to affect the RGB channel too much and blur the image.

(4) Adjust the final effect

If the mesh pattern is too clear, the radius value is too large, so the image in the RGB channel will be blurred. If you want to make the image content clearer, you can also perform "Sharpen" in the "filter" menu. Finally, use the "adjust"> "Color Order" or "brightness/contrast" option in the "image" menu to set the desired contrast and other values to achieve the final satisfactory effect.
