And More Photoshop

Finally, the last day of the workshop... I can say, I did learn a lot.

Now back to my list of things I've learned.

MASKS: You can inverse the selection in QUICK MASK by double clicking it. Press X to change background-foreground, Q to toggle QUICK MASK.

To duplicate the BACKGROUND LAYER, drag BACKGROUND to "Add New Layer".

If you want to change the color, you may create new layer and change BLENDING MODE to COLOR.

TYPE: To finish what you are typing, press CTRL+ENTER or click the check mark in the OPTIONS BAR.

Typing a long text, CLICK and DRAGE then type within the selection.

POINT MODE are used for labels
PARAGRAPH MODE are used for long texts

Using TEXT MASK is masking a selection in letters.
* You may use the selection as lettering to another image.
* You may use GRADIENT in the mask.

To make another layer with same selection, LAYER>LAYER VIA COPY (or CTRL-J).

LEADING is to adjust spaces between lines of text
KERNING is to adjust space between letters of text
TRACKING

To copy the effects of a text to another TEXT LAYER, choose the TEXT LAYER, press ALT then drag to the next layer.

To change text from a vector to a bit map, RASTERIZE.

Use RULER to know the size (found in the OPTIONS BAR).

To "reset" dialog boxes, press ALT (it changes the "cancel" button to "reset").

For overexposed or underexposed images, IMAGE>ADJUSTMENT>SHADOW/HIGHLIGHT.

To remove unwanted image in a picture, FILTER>VANISHING POINT.

PEN TOOL: If you want the direction line to appear, click and drag. When you want to adjust using the direction line, press CTRL and click the direction line.

PATH is created when PEN TOOL is used.

PEN TOOL is used for smooth surface of an image.
