1
00:00:00,910 --> 00:00:06,220
in this chapter I'll take you on a quick
tour of the panels layouts and features
2
00:00:06,220 --> 00:00:10,519
so you can become acquainted with where
everything is located and what it's for
3
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:14,429
then in each chapter that follows a go
into more depth and show you how each
4
00:00:14,429 --> 00:00:15,999
feature works
5
00:00:15,999 --> 00:00:20,550
remember that this series is a video
manual to the Tiki Actions panel but not
6
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:24,090
a guide to the mini image developing
techniques that can be done involving
7
00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:28,560
luminosity masks at the time of
recording my tutorials called the
8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,680
complete guide to luminosity mass as
well as developing for extended dynamic
9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:38,190
range provide instruction in luminosity
mass techniques overtime also be adding
10
00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:42,719
new tutorials which I make use of the
panel as you already saw in the previous
11
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:46,989
chapter you can place the panel anywhere
in your workspace you like and it can be
12
00:00:46,989 --> 00:00:55,120
opening collapsed docked with other
panels and you can also close it and
13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,820
open it as needed
14
00:00:56,820 --> 00:01:04,300
the window extensions when you first
look at the panel it's easy to be
15
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:08,750
overwhelmed especially if you haven't
worked with a previous version in
16
00:01:08,750 --> 00:01:13,040
reality the panel greatly simplifies
just about everything photographers do
17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,990
in Photoshop it reduces link the in
repetitive luminosity mass generation
18
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:22,890
operations to just a clicker to and it's
a command center they give you quick
19
00:01:22,890 --> 00:01:27,030
access to commonly used Photoshop
functions in adjustments that are
20
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:31,230
otherwise scattered throughout multiple
menus panels and keyboard shortcuts
21
00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:33,690
let's start at the top
22
00:01:33,690 --> 00:01:38,140
the top multi-colored region of the
version for panel connects you to many
23
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:44,400
common photoshopped ask all in one place
for example the levels button generates
24
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,770
a levels adjustment layer without having
to open the adjustment layers menu it
25
00:01:49,770 --> 00:01:52,980
takes a little while to memorize all the
buttons but with practice it will
26
00:01:52,980 --> 00:01:56,540
greatly speed up your workflow because
you will rarely need to search through
27
00:01:56,540 --> 00:02:01,790
menus or trade remembers me keyboard
shortcuts many of the colored buttons
28
00:02:01,790 --> 00:02:06,350
are self explanatory to the experienced
Photoshop user but also go through them
29
00:02:06,350 --> 00:02:13,730
all briefly the Open button opens the
open image dialog window
30
00:02:13,730 --> 00:02:23,900
go the new button opens the new document
window but fits the image to the
31
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:33,099
workspace the 100% button enlarges the
image 200% or 12 1 pixel view and the
32
00:02:33,099 --> 00:02:39,260
print size button sizes the image on the
screen to the size of the print the +
33
00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:47,239
button zooms in on the image and the
minus button zooms out on the image now
34
00:02:47,239 --> 00:02:52,000
let's move on to the purple buttons the
stroke button opens the strip dialogue
35
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,769
if there's an active selection when I
just clicked it nothing happened
36
00:02:56,769 --> 00:03:00,890
remember that the buttons of the version
for panel monitor the status of
37
00:03:00,890 --> 00:03:05,400
Photoshop if the required condition
isn't met in this case there's no active
38
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,019
selection the panel knows to do nothing
instead of generating an error message
39
00:03:10,019 --> 00:03:14,540
the strip dialogue in Photoshop is
useful for any time you want to put a
40
00:03:14,540 --> 00:03:19,450
line around a selection so I'll
demonstrate that by taping controller
41
00:03:19,450 --> 00:03:26,680
command a to select the entire image I
need to make sure that a pixel players
42
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,880
selected this case I'll do the
background and now with that active
43
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:37,819
selection I can click the stroke but the
strip button allows us to create a black
44
00:03:37,819 --> 00:03:44,799
or white or any color border on the
inside centre or outside of a selection
45
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:53,560
in this case are doing white border and
doesn't need to be 250 pixels just make
46
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,010
it 200 pixels and click OK
47
00:03:59,010 --> 00:04:03,239
selecting the entire image also gives me
the opportunity to talk about the new
48
00:04:03,239 --> 00:04:08,160
active selection indicator that's built
into the v4 panel anytime you have a
49
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,709
live selection even one in which no
selection lines are marching answer
50
00:04:12,709 --> 00:04:17,160
visible as sometimes is the case with
luminosity selections or if you've used
51
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,240
control or command H too high the
selection the indicator lets you know
52
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,650
that there is an active selection this
is huge
53
00:04:25,650 --> 00:04:29,150
no more wondering why things in
Photoshop aren't working as expected
54
00:04:29,150 --> 00:04:36,900
because you forgot that you have a
hidden selection the film opens to fill
55
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:43,050
dialogue this is great if you want to
fill a mask with black or white or gray
56
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:51,590
or if you want to use the Content Aware
Fill function the blur button opens the
57
00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:56,300
Gaussian Blur dialogue the Gaussian Blur
filter is commonly utilized when
58
00:04:56,300 --> 00:05:03,400
creating soft glow ordon type effects or
win feathering a mask a black button
59
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,479
selects the paintbrush tool and sets the
foreground color to black and the
60
00:05:07,479 --> 00:05:12,490
background color white the white button
selects the paintbrush tool and sets the
61
00:05:12,490 --> 00:05:16,260
foreground color to white in the
background color black these buttons are
62
00:05:16,260 --> 00:05:23,349
very useful when preparing to Dodger
burn or to paint on a mask image creates
63
00:05:23,349 --> 00:05:33,120
a duplicate of the image Latin latins
all layers in the image and size opens
64
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,729
the image size dialogue I use the orange
buttons to prepare copies of my master
65
00:05:38,729 --> 00:05:47,370
files for print or web output the blue
buttons make it possible to quickly
66
00:05:47,370 --> 00:05:50,990
change the blending mode of the active
layer without needing to open the
67
00:05:50,990 --> 00:05:58,720
blending mode menu repeatedly the normal
loom button is an example of one of the
68
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,930
new toggle buttons in the v4 panel
clicking it more than once
69
00:06:02,930 --> 00:06:10,639
toggles between normal blending mode and
luminosity blending mode what does
70
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:15,419
luminosity modu adjustment layers in the
normal mode affect both color and
71
00:06:15,419 --> 00:06:21,030
contrast simultaneously an adjustment
layers such as levels workers in
72
00:06:21,030 --> 00:06:25,260
luminosity blending mode will limit your
adjustments strictly to contrast changes
73
00:06:25,260 --> 00:06:30,150
without changing the saturation of the
image the other blue buttons allow you
74
00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:35,580
to quickly change to other common
blending modes such as screen multiply
75
00:06:35,580 --> 00:06:38,030
soft light
76
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:43,900
hard light and overlay the magenta
buttons are generally associated with
77
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:48,330
adjustment layers for all but two
buttons the button eames states that
78
00:06:48,330 --> 00:06:52,050
type of adjustment layer that will be
created when the button is clicked such
79
00:06:52,050 --> 00:07:05,670
as curves levels selective color and so
on plus my mask is another toggle button
80
00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:13,380
that allows you to either add a removal
air mass to the active layer
81
00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:18,130
plus minus clip button is a toggle but
neither makes the active layer a
82
00:07:18,130 --> 00:07:24,380
clipping mask to the layer below more
releases a clipping mask from the layer
83
00:07:24,380 --> 00:07:31,550
below the green buttons are associated
with labor related functions new layer
84
00:07:31,550 --> 00:07:40,270
adds a new empty lair du player
duplicate the active layer delete
85
00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:47,190
layered deletes the active leer visible
merges all visible layers into a new
86
00:07:47,190 --> 00:07:53,020
pics a layer above the active layer or
in this case if the active layer is an
87
00:07:53,020 --> 00:07:58,480
empty layer it duplicate see all the
layers into the empty later i click
88
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,840
merge visible again now it'll create a
new merged layer above the previous
