317
00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:14,279
of clone it it just to just to match
that color to match those tones are
318
00:22:14,279 --> 00:22:18,340
really something like this it's easy and
again as a general rule does it really
319
00:22:18,340 --> 00:22:21,320
matter if people didn't know was there
in the first place they're not going to
320
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,100
miss it if it was gone but with this
kind of stuff especially landscape
321
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:28,980
photography we really want to make sure
that we can create an environment where
322
00:22:28,980 --> 00:22:34,149
people feel like they're all alone so
nothing ruins things more than seeing a
323
00:22:34,149 --> 00:22:37,809
photo of something really iconic and
then seeing somebody taking a selfie in
324
00:22:37,809 --> 00:22:43,299
a Hello Kitty t-shirt so always get rid
of the Hello Kitty t-shirt so I go back
325
00:22:43,299 --> 00:22:46,769
now to the beginning we have a before
and after so now that we've done this
326
00:22:46,769 --> 00:22:50,809
cloning here we've gotten rid of all
these people we've used the blurry
327
00:22:50,809 --> 00:22:55,590
waterfall the streaky water and the nice
reflection now it's time to focus on
328
00:22:55,590 --> 00:23:00,750
replacing the sky let's head back to
late room now so we've worked on these
329
00:23:00,750 --> 00:23:06,450
two files here now let's focus a little
bit on the sky so when I get rid of that
330
00:23:06,450 --> 00:23:10,330
clear blue sky and order replace it with
Sky that's a little bit more textured
331
00:23:10,330 --> 00:23:14,470
this guy it's a little bit more flat I
want to pull the exposure down and make
332
00:23:14,470 --> 00:23:19,100
some soft adjustments to it just so that
I can match some of the way to that look
333
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:22,190
because when the Sun came out you can
see that this guy was really blew this
334
00:23:22,190 --> 00:23:26,490
was a little bit soft and you did it so
I'm just gonna pull the exposure bump
335
00:23:26,490 --> 00:23:28,330
the contrast a little bit
336
00:23:28,330 --> 00:23:32,659
and adjust the weights and the
highlights to compensate I basically
337
00:23:32,659 --> 00:23:36,630
want to just create a little bit more
blue in the sky just to make it pop a
338
00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:40,080
little bit more once I'm happy with that
I'm going to export it
339
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:45,690
export with previous again so I can
bring it in to the other PST at this
340
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:49,700
point I should point out that not
everybody is comfortable with replacing
341
00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:54,269
skies so as anything that we do here you
don't have to do it if you don't want to
342
00:23:54,269 --> 00:23:59,500
if it makes you scream in agony with the
thought of replacing the sky and ruining
343
00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:05,019
a blue sky in a serene landscape then by
all means skip this step but if you're
344
00:24:05,019 --> 00:24:08,760
like me and you want to have the most
dynamic colorful vibrant and textured
345
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,269
images in your portfolio then pay
attention because this method that I'm
346
00:24:12,269 --> 00:24:16,929
using for blue sky is a really easy one
next time we'll have different masking
347
00:24:16,929 --> 00:24:20,590
techniques but right now this is my
favorite way to simply drop in the sky
348
00:24:20,590 --> 00:24:25,500
and have a seamless mask so let's take a
look at that go back into Photoshop
349
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:29,500
first I need to get this image in so
many do the same thing that I usually do
350
00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:34,149
it in a paste it before I do anything
with it and turn it off because we have
351
00:24:34,149 --> 00:24:39,029
to figure out how to make your selection
where's the sky gonna go in this case
352
00:24:39,029 --> 00:24:42,799
it's gonna go right into this blue
section so many select the layer that I
353
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:48,059
want to make a selection out of in this
case background and go to select color
354
00:24:48,059 --> 00:24:55,320
age so on the bottom here you're gonna
have managed to show the image but if
355
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,710
you show selection its gonna show the
selection and under here selection
356
00:24:59,710 --> 00:25:03,960
preview if I have a set to None it'll
show your original image but if I have
357
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,149
it set to grayscale actually show the
mask and I'm creating and in this case
358
00:25:08,149 --> 00:25:12,809
it looks pretty good I can actually drag
anywhere and I can try to create a color
359
00:25:12,809 --> 00:25:17,350
range based selection you guys might
already be familiar with this we're
360
00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:22,389
using Nik Color facts in the collection
that the U Point technology you points
361
00:25:22,389 --> 00:25:26,169
the selections were based on the same
kind of algorithm so if I select the
362
00:25:26,169 --> 00:25:30,110
blue it's gonna try to isolate the blue
now here's where it gets really cool
363
00:25:30,110 --> 00:25:34,690
right now I can grab little pieces of
blue localized color but if I change
364
00:25:34,690 --> 00:25:38,130
fuzziness and it's actually been called
for his innocence Photoshop was
365
00:25:38,130 --> 00:25:39,140
Photoshop
366
00:25:39,140 --> 00:25:44,050
it's not tolerance like everything else
I can change the the fuzziness here and
367
00:25:44,050 --> 00:25:49,460
I can actually select a point and it
will select more of that blue which is
368
00:25:49,460 --> 00:25:53,350
really nice now the more I change this
the more the foreground it'll start to
369
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:56,810
celexa what I want to do is find sort of
the most neutral portion of blue
370
00:25:56,810 --> 00:26:03,070
possible and then modify the fuzziness a
little bit more until I have a nice edge
371
00:26:03,070 --> 00:26:09,740
on that back room something like that
that looks pretty good when I say okay
372
00:26:09,740 --> 00:26:14,560
it's gonna play it to a selection and if
I create a new mask on any of these
373
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,750
layers it'll play it to that new mask
what I'm gonna do is create a folder
374
00:26:18,750 --> 00:26:24,090
instead apply the mask to a folder the
reason being is I want to be able to put
375
00:26:24,090 --> 00:26:29,530
this layer the sky layer inside of this
folder so right now I did celexa more
376
00:26:29,530 --> 00:26:32,580
the background what I want to do is just
move this up for now just so it's a
377
00:26:32,580 --> 00:26:37,390
little less distracting I'm gonna turn
it off again edit this mask this mask
378
00:26:37,390 --> 00:26:39,010
needs a little bit of work
379
00:26:39,010 --> 00:26:45,750
hold option click the mask so I can just
see the mask in the mask mode now in
380
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:49,160
this case everything's almost selected
so I'm just gonna do some light painting
381
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,630
to get rid of some of the black there
and it's really easy I wanna I basically
382
00:26:54,630 --> 00:27:00,000
I want to maintain the edge by doing a
select coloring and not pushing it too
383
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,120
far I'm able to maintain the harmony oh
that is balanced and when I mean harmony
384
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:09,520
I mean all of that anti alias see if you
think about selection selections are
385
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,880
just 121 it's not just an edge all edges
have different types of Sophos they have
386
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,990
different amounts of softness and if you
start to destroy that softness and wreck
387
00:27:18,990 --> 00:27:23,140
that anti alias scene that's when you're
going to start to have seen like for
388
00:27:23,140 --> 00:27:27,610
example look at the standing area piro I
managed to get the selection in between
389
00:27:27,610 --> 00:27:31,230
all of those posts so it's really nice
what I'm doing is just pulling some of
390
00:27:31,230 --> 00:27:35,050
these highlights away from the edge very
very carefully pulling these highlights
391
00:27:35,050 --> 00:27:39,350
away from the edge very subtly and I'm
also gonna do the same thing in the sky
392
00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:43,290
what to do to make sure that I have all
of the sky selected and it's white and
393
00:27:43,290 --> 00:27:47,840
go to the info I can roll over it if it
says actually gonna tell you much just
394
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,770
says CMYK or K 0%
395
00:27:50,770 --> 00:27:55,570
means white but you see all those little
one percentage is here and there 2% 3%
396
00:27:55,570 --> 00:27:58,640
that means at the top and if you look up
here again if you guys aren't sure what
397
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,130
I'm talking about that means at the top
that actually have 10% gray so they can
398
00:28:03,130 --> 00:28:07,120
do is just again grabbed the brush tool
make the brush a little bit bigger turn
399
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:10,670
it up a little bit and then just make
sure that I gained some weight just that
400
00:28:10,670 --> 00:28:16,710
I have a full selection from here I can
either paint the rest of it out which is
401
00:28:16,710 --> 00:28:20,710
pretty easy or again it fell for the
lasso tool and since I'm using that
402
00:28:20,710 --> 00:28:25,750
using the Wacom stylus I could just
quickly draw a selection here and I'm
