Photoshop graphic design

To re-design photos from the outside world, Photoshop is a tool which very useful. It has different functions can help user to create a new picture they want. In this modulo, I had learn some basic skills which useful in the future.

The origin photo I use for all test:



In Photoshop, we can find lot of tools and techniques which can make photos more funny.

Selective focus 

To make a photo focusing in one of the object, we can use the function of "Gaussian Blur".



After select Gaussian blur (Press Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur),  user can choose the radius of the photo, the highest number of pixels, the more blur of the graphic.



After select the radius if graphic, Photoshop will automatically create a new filter which under the main layer. To want to show the focus object, we need to use the brush with Black color to color the place we focusing. And that the work is done. If user want to focus other part, they can use brush with White color to turn it back in blur.

Selective color:

Selective color can help user to high-light the part they want to show.

For my example, I will use black and white for my background color. First, we need to select a new black and write layer.

After that, select the B&W layer and use black brush to color the part we want (like the we did for focusing object). Using black brush can help use to delete part of layer we don't want and it will show the color in the origin layer.

Cropping:

We can use Cropping to help use to cut away parts we don't want and decide which part of photo we want to keep.



To cut out part we don't want, we can use the crop tool from the tools bar in the left. Draw a rectangle where we want to keep.

In the rectangle, we can move the photo to revise the part we want. If user decide what he want, he can press the tick system at the top. And the work is finish.

De-cluttering:

De-cluttering can help user to delete some object which should not appear. Photoshop cover the place user don't like and fill in object which look like similar (colors).

First we need the pick the "Polygonal Lasso Tool" from the left tool bar and select the button with "two page button" from top left. And we can start high light object we don't want.

After that we can start the fill button and let the computer fill those place we don,t need.

For my work, I try to add cloud effect into the photo. First, pick "Cloud" for 3D.

Then use the fill function to fill up clouds. In the fill selection, we can the opacity of the cloud, the higher number of percentage, the higher density of cloud effect.

Then press "OK", the effect in added to the photo.

2D animation:

Beside editing photos, Photoshop can also help us to create simple animation (like GIF). In the work, I had fit two images together and make an animation.

Image I used for animation:

To Fit the Football into other photo, I had use the De-cluttering skill i had learnt. And pull the ball into the place I want. Next, open the "Timeline" function.

After create the timebar, we need to create another scene for next movement. For example: I had moved the ball. Then press the button I had high-light in the left bottom. And you can chose the frames you want to add for the animation. In my case, I had add 150 frames. Photoshop will auto simulating the path of the football's moving trace.
     


After that, we can start saving the animation, in this list you can set the save details you want. For example: I had set the preset, quality and the looping option. And finally the work is finish.
