10.24 -> what's up guys iofo here and today i'm
12.48 -> going to be teaching you how to use
13.679 -> photoshop or at least learn the basics
15.519 -> of photoshop as fast as possible so you
17.199 -> can make some awesome graphics for
18.48 -> youtube for school or whatever you need
20.08 -> photoshop for so with that being said
21.84 -> let's get started so the first thing
23.68 -> we're going to do is create a new
24.72 -> document so to do that just go to file
26.8 -> new and here you're going to see the
28.72 -> editor to actually create a new document
30.48 -> so the name is what you're going to name
31.76 -> the document we're just going to name it
33.52 -> test the width and height are going to
35.12 -> be the actual size of the document so
36.64 -> 1080p would be 1920 by 1080 720p would
40.559 -> be 1280 by 720 and here are your units
44.239 -> so say you're gonna be editing something
46.239 -> that you're gonna print out on a piece
47.2 -> of paper instead of using pixels you can
49.039 -> use inches and have it be eight and a
51.199 -> half by eleven for example the
52.879 -> resolution and stuff you can keep the
54.32 -> same and the background contents are
56.079 -> going to be the color of the base
57.92 -> background when you actually create the
59.12 -> image so you can have it as transparent
61.199 -> you can actually have it set as a
62.239 -> background color right now it should be
63.52 -> green or you can make it white so we're
65.04 -> going to make it transparent and the
66.64 -> image size is the size of the current
68.159 -> image so it's going to be 2.64 megabytes
70.479 -> and then click on ok so the first thing
72.96 -> we're going to look at is the file tab
75.2 -> and see what we can do within that so
76.72 -> we've got neo to create a new document
78.479 -> we've got open to open a previous
81.04 -> document we've done before and we've got
83.52 -> other open options we've got close to
85.439 -> close the document
86.96 -> we've got save as to actually save the
88.88 -> document so we can save as and we can
91.04 -> save it as a photoshop file so that we
92.72 -> can actually edit this file within
94.479 -> photoshop later if you ever wanted to
96.24 -> export it you can save as any other
98.159 -> things such as a jpeg or as a png file
101.28 -> which would be transparent and you can
103.28 -> choose from there
104.799 -> now one important thing a lot of people
106.479 -> don't know about is place so what a lot
109.04 -> of people do when they're trying to
109.92 -> import images is open the image and then
112.479 -> it opens up in a new tab and then they
114.159 -> copy and paste it under the current
115.28 -> document what they don't know is you can
116.88 -> go to file and place to actually place a
119.36 -> document that you want within your
121.04 -> current document so i can go ahead look
123.04 -> up like dark blue grunge texture for
124.719 -> example
126.159 -> and it places the document within
128.64 -> photoshop so we're going to leave that
130.16 -> the way it is and click the check mark
131.68 -> button now what we do
134.08 -> is we can actually learn about the edit
135.599 -> tab so the edit tab has a bunch of
137.52 -> different options you've got
139.12 -> undo you've got undo to undo your
140.959 -> movement if i was to undo it i would get
142.959 -> rid of the place
144.48 -> i can also redo it to put the place back
147.84 -> step forward and step backward are the
149.28 -> same thing it's just to undo multiple
151.2 -> times or redo multiple times you can cut
153.36 -> copy paste
154.72 -> now another thing you can do is actually
156.48 -> transform the image so you go to
158.08 -> transform and you can either rotate the
160.64 -> image or flip it over so if you want to
161.92 -> turn it 180 degrees or upside down click
164.72 -> on that and it has been flipped
167.2 -> you can also
168.8 -> go into image and you can trim the image
171.519 -> or rotate it from here
173.2 -> and you can duplicate it by clicking on
174.56 -> duplicate and you'll create a copy of
176.72 -> the layer
177.68 -> in a different document window so it's
179.2 -> going to create a completely new
180.08 -> document for that but right now we're
181.519 -> going to look at aligning layers so how
183.44 -> do you align a layer so first you have
184.72 -> to select what you want
186.8 -> to actually have the image aligned to so
189.44 -> if i press ctrl a it's going to select
191.68 -> the entire document window and i can
193.44 -> align this image to the actual document
195.28 -> so i can go to layer align layers
197.599 -> selection vertical sensors to vertically
199.76 -> align it and as you can see this layer
201.44 -> is currently selected now to deselect
203.36 -> press control d
205.28 -> and say you wanted to select this layer
207.519 -> you control click over here and now you
210.799 -> can have this be the selection and have
212.4 -> another image aligned to that layer
215.12 -> now you also have another important tab
217.599 -> which is filter where you can add blurs
220 -> or you can sharpen images i use blurs a
222.4 -> lot for the background of images to blur
224.319 -> them out so i would go to blur motion
226.08 -> blur and as you can see i can blur it
228.239 -> out so that it's a bit more blurrier and
230.08 -> the text stands out when i'm making
231.2 -> thumbnails
232.239 -> now we're going to go ahead and look at
233.68 -> some other shortcuts so i already said
235.04 -> control a is to select the entire layer
238.239 -> ctrl d is to deselect
240.72 -> control r is to open up rulers
243.439 -> ctrl t is to open up the transform tool
246.64 -> and here you can actually resize images
249.36 -> now if you want the image to actually
250.959 -> keep its proportions hold shift when
253.28 -> you're actually moving the handles but
256.079 -> we're not going to worry about that
257.04 -> we're going to worry about filling up
258.079 -> the entire document with this blue image
261.28 -> and we're going to click on the check
262.479 -> mark to confirm okay so we have this
264.8 -> image now we're going to learn about
265.84 -> some other tools on the left side so
267.52 -> here we have
268.96 -> the lasso tool so if i was to go ahead
271.28 -> and just quickly import an image
274.08 -> or place an image i'll just place a
276.88 -> money bag over here
278.8 -> you can actually see that what's it
280.88 -> called the lasso tool can be used
283.28 -> to select certain parts of it like so
286.8 -> and then you can right click and do
288.72 -> layer via copy and it'll create a new
291.04 -> layer of just that portion of the image
293.919 -> so you can select certain parts using
295.68 -> this lasso now there's also the
298.479 -> polygonal and magnetic lasso tool which
300.24 -> is more automatic so if i go like this
302.24 -> it actually selects you know
304.24 -> the outline of the image it's magnetic
305.919 -> so it kind of sticks to the image and i
307.759 -> can go all the way around if i wanted to
309.84 -> and i could
312.08 -> actually cut the entire image into a new
313.759 -> layer now if you want to select certain
315.6 -> parts via color you have the magic wand
318.56 -> tool what you can do is actually hold
321.039 -> down here and all the tools available up
322.8 -> here then click on the magic wand tool
325.039 -> and you can actually select by certain
326.479 -> colors like so and it's actually what's
329.039 -> it called to actually use the functions
331.36 -> right click and then you can create a
332.639 -> new layer if you copy you can create a
334.639 -> new layer via paste
336.24 -> and
337.039 -> do other options within photoshop as
339.44 -> well and to deselect just press ctrl d
342.08 -> then you have the crop tool which is
343.36 -> used to crop your image so if i was to
345.44 -> crop it and then press enter
347.44 -> the new document is cropped as
349.52 -> seen right there
351.039 -> now you also have the eyedropper tool so
353.6 -> say you're going to be making some text
355.199 -> and you want to use the same color as a
356.72 -> money bag just use the eyedropper tool
358.72 -> just click here and now your main color
360.72 -> is that same color and you can also see
362.639 -> the hexadecimal code
365.44 -> some other tools the brush tool okay so
368.639 -> the brush tool can be used to of course
371.759 -> draw with like a brush the hardness
373.759 -> actually uh it's hard to explain but if
375.6 -> i have to put it on hardness of 100 you
377.759 -> can see it's a solid line and if i just
379.759 -> make the hardness much softer it's a
381.52 -> much softer line like an actual brush
383.44 -> it's soft now for example one function
386.56 -> for the brush is to actually make your
388.24 -> thumbnails look a lot nicer so what i do
390.08 -> is i make the size a lot larger so i
392.319 -> make it like
393.44 -> not 2 000 but like you know 800 for
396 -> example then i select a color that's
397.84 -> similar to the background color and what
400 -> you can do is actually add some nice
401.28 -> like brushing effects like so
403.12 -> boom boom boom boom and then change the
404.88 -> opacity over here to something like 20
407.52 -> or like 40 and it has that glowing
409.599 -> effect so we're just going to leave that
411.44 -> at 20 percent
412.88 -> oh you also have the eraser tool which
414.96 -> you can use to erase the brush like so
417.84 -> and you can of course change the
418.88 -> settings over here
420.479 -> you've got the paint bucket tool which
421.84 -> is self-explanatory you have the pen
423.68 -> tool now the pen tool is used to make
425.759 -> shapes it's very complicated to use but
428 -> i have a video that teaches you how to
429.52 -> use it it's called how to make a logo so
430.88 -> search that up to learn about that and
432.479 -> now we're going to talk about the text
434.479 -> tool so to create text all you do is
436.8 -> click
437.68 -> like so and it's going to create a new
439.599 -> layer and here you can select the font
441.28 -> the type of the font the size of the
442.88 -> font you can check the color of the font
445.36 -> here so you can actually select the
446.319 -> color we're gonna make it white
448.479 -> we're gonna put test like so and there
450.319 -> we go you can also central align it and
452.08 -> left line it if you wanted to
454.56 -> and we can move it around with the
456.16 -> moving tool or the selection tool i
457.68 -> guess it's called
459.68 -> and then you have your shape tools over
461.84 -> here and you have your dragging tool to
463.84 -> actually move around stuff
465.599 -> and you have the zoom tool to zoom in
468.16 -> and to zoom out you can actually zoom in
470.319 -> by pressing ctrl plus or command plus
472.16 -> and comma command and control minus as
474 -> well
474.879 -> and then here you can select your
476.639 -> secondary and primary colors by clicking
478.879 -> and then selecting you can also click
480.72 -> over here and the eyedropper tool will
482.16 -> select the color that you click on like
483.84 -> so
484.639 -> so i've been talking quite a lot now and
486.24 -> there's quite a few tools as you can
487.68 -> tell but say you end up losing one of
489.44 -> your tools how do you find them just go
490.72 -> to window which actually shows you
492.8 -> everything that you can see right now
493.84 -> and select the tool you want so say i
495.52 -> want to open up the swatches tool i go
496.96 -> to window swatches and boom swatches
498.96 -> still opens up now we're going to learn
500.96 -> about blending options so the first
502.879 -> thing we're going to do is actually make
503.919 -> things look a bit nicer we're going to
505.199 -> take this money bag and we're going to
507.12 -> move it up now see when i move it up how
508.879 -> it curves a bit because my hand is not
511.039 -> perfectly straight i can hold shift and
513.039 -> move it up like so and it's going to go
514.88 -> into one direction so it's going to go
515.919 -> diagonally for example
517.68 -> and it can go vertically like so and i'm
519.919 -> going to put it up here then i'm going
521.68 -> to move test and i'm going to align it
523.599 -> so i'm going to press ctrl a like before
525.12 -> go to layer align layers to selection
527.12 -> horizontal sensors like so
530.08 -> and we are going to learn about
532.64 -> these tools over here so a couple
534.64 -> important ones here is the text tool to
536.32 -> actually change your text settings the
538.48 -> size the spacing experiment around with
540.48 -> these then you have the lock button over
542.8 -> here so say you want to make sure you
544.24 -> don't move this money bag accidentally
545.839 -> what you can do is click on the lock
546.88 -> button to lock it and now we're going to
548.64 -> look at blending options so
551.12 -> if you right click on a layer you can
552.48 -> actually open up lighting options where
553.839 -> you can actually edit stuff a bit more
555.92 -> so one thing you can do is add a stroke
557.68 -> to the text and then click on stroke to
559.44 -> actually edit the settings of the text
561.2 -> you can add color overlays you can add
563.839 -> shadows
564.88 -> one thing i like to add is gradient so i
567.279 -> just change the opacity to ten percent
569.2 -> opacity basically means how transparent
571.04 -> it is so if the opacity is zero percent
573.12 -> it's transparent and if it's a hundred
574.72 -> percent it's fully opaque so i'm going
576.399 -> to add a 10 gradient which makes it look
577.92 -> metallic and then add a drop shadow
579.839 -> which is of course like a shadow behind
581.279 -> the image
582.399 -> i'm going to make the distance 0 and the
584.32 -> spread in size 33
586.8 -> maybe a bit more maybe 44. that looks
589.04 -> pretty nice to me i'm going to click on
591.44 -> ok to close blending options
594.64 -> now say i want to take these effects and
596.56 -> add the same things to the money bag how
598.48 -> do i add these effects to the money back
600.08 -> without doing all the work again i can
601.68 -> right click the layer go to copy layer
603.839 -> style
605.519 -> and then i can right click on the money
606.88 -> bag layer after i unlock it and go to
609.519 -> paste layer style to paste the same
611.519 -> blending options into the image
614.079 -> now the final thing we're going to go
615.2 -> over are the tools on the bottom over
616.64 -> here you can delete things of course you
618.56 -> can add a new layer you can group things
621.519 -> and you can add some effects and open up
623.12 -> blending options or add the effects
624.8 -> individually right here and once you're
626.56 -> done your image you can go to file
628.72 -> save as and save the image as whatever
630.64 -> you want so i'm going to save this as a
631.76 -> png since i don't want to edit it later
633.6 -> click save
635.2 -> and we're good to go so that's about it
636.8 -> for this video guys i know it was a bit
638.56 -> fast and there's a lot of things to go
639.76 -> over but this is just like a really
640.959 -> basic rundown of photoshop hopefully you
