100. The first line of the filter menu will record the usage of the previous filter to facilitate repeated execution.
101. On the layer panel, you can adjust the opacity and color mixing of the effect after the filter has been executed (the object of the operation must be a layer).
102. Feathering the selected range can reduce the abrupt feeling.
103. When using the filter of "Filter" → "Rendering" → "Clouds", if you want to produce more obvious cloud patterns, you can hold down the Alt key before executing this command; if you want to generate low-diffusion clouds To achieve the desired effect, you can hold down the Shift key before executing the command.
104. When using the filter of "Filter" → "Rendering" → "Lighting Effect", if you want to copy the light source in the dialog box, you can first hold down the Alt key and then drag the light source to copy.
105. Process the selected area. If no area is selected, the entire image will be processed; if only a certain layer or channel is selected, only the current layer or channel will be processed.
106. The processing effect of the filter is measured in pixels, which means that the same parameters will produce different effects when processing images of different resolutions.
107. In RGB mode, you can use all filters on graphics. Text must be turned into graphics before you can use filters.
108. When using a new filter, you should first experiment with the default settings, then try a lower configuration, and then try a higher configuration. Observe the process and results of the following changes. Work with a smaller image and save the copy of the master file instead of using Undo. This allows the operator to compare results and note which settings he really likes.
109. Before selecting a filter, place the image in a newly created layer and then apply the filter to that layer. This method allows the operator to blend the effect of the filter into the image, or change the color blending mode to obtain the desired effect. This method also allows the operator to change the filter effect of the image at any time according to his or her own ideas during the design process.
110. Even if the operator has already processed the layer with a filter, the "Fade..." command can also be selected. When using this command, the user only needs to adjust the opacity and also change the color mixing mode. The operator can optionally apply filters to the layer before ending the command. Note that if "Restore" is used, changes cannot be made.
111. Some filters can process a single channel at a time, such as the green channel, and can get very interesting results. Note that any filter can be used when working with grayscale images.
112. You can get exciting results by processing data on the Alpha channel with a filter (you can also work with grayscale images), then use that channel as a selection, apply other filters, and process the entire image through that selection. This technology is particularly useful for crystal refractive filters.
113. Users can break appropriate settings and observe what effects occur. When users set filters out of the ordinary, they can sometimes get wonderful special effects. For example, setting the parameters for Virtual Mask or Dust and Scratches to a higher value can sometimes work particularly well to smooth out the color of the image.
114. There is a technique that can produce better special effects, which is to do the same thing (not too many times). This technology is particularly good in Western Europe for operating filters. Of course it can also be used with other filters. Users can also use different settings of the same filter, or use completely different filters, on the same selection multiple times to see the effect.
115. The effect of some filters is very obvious. Subtle parameter adjustments will lead to obvious changes. Therefore, you must choose carefully when using them to avoid losing the style of each filter due to excessive changes. Images that handle transitions can only be used as samples or examples, but they are not the best works of art. The use of filters should also be done selectively according to the needs of artistic creation. Layer tricks
116. To move the currently selected layer up: press the "ctrl +]" key combination to move the current layer up; press the "ctrl+[" key combination to move the current layer up. Flip the layer down one level.
117. Use the mouse to drag the layer to be copied to the "New" icon at the top of the panel to create a new layer.
118. When moving a layer or selection range, hold down the Shift key to force horizontal, vertical, or 45° movement.
119. When moving a layer or selecting a range, press the arrow keys on the keyboard to move 1 pixel at a time.
120. When moving a layer or selecting a range, first hold down the Shift key and then press the arrow keys on the keyboard to move 10 pixels at a time.
121. When deleting a layer directly, you can hold down the Alt key and then move the cursor to the trash can on the layer control panel and click the mouse.
122. After pressing the Ctrl key, your move tool will have an automatic selection function. At this time, you only need to click an object on a certain layer, and Photoshop will automatically switch to the layer where the object is located; but when When you release the Ctrl key, your move tool no longer has the automatic selection function, making it easy to prevent accidental selection.
123. You cannot drag multiple layers simultaneously in the Layers panel to another document (even if they are linked) - this will only move the selected layers.
124. To organize multiple layers into a group, the fastest way is to link them first, and then select the Group Linked Layers command (Ctrl+G). When you want to move multiple layers between different documents, you can use the move tool to drag multiple layers between documents at the same time. This technique can also be used to merge (Ctrl+E) multiple visible layers (because when the current layer is linked to other layers, the "Group with Previous Layer command" will become the "Group Linked Layers" command).
125. Hold down the Alt key and click between two layers in the layer panel to group them together. This is useful when some layers are linked together and you only want to group some of them. Because the group command (Ctrl+G) will be converted to the group link layer command (Ctrl+G) when the current layer is linked to other layers.
126. Double-click the layer with the word "T" in the "Layer Control" panel to edit the text again.
127. Hold down Alt and click the eye icon in front of the desired layer to hide/show all other layers.
128. Hold down Alt and click the brush icon in front of the current layer to unlink it from all other layers.
129. To clear all layer effects on a layer, hold down the Alt key and double-click the layer effects icon on the layer.
130. To turn off one of the effects, hold down the Alt key and select its name in the "Layer" → "Layer Style" submenu; or you can uncheck its "Apply" mark in the Layer Effects dialog box.
131. Here’s a time-saving way to add adjustment layers: Just hold down Ctrl and click the “Create New Layer” icon (at the bottom of the Layers panel) to select the type of adjustment layer you want to add!
132. In addition to editing the layer mask in the channel panel, press Alt and click the mask icon on the layer panel to open it; hold down the Shift key and click the mask icon to close/open the mask (a red cross X will be displayed to indicate closed mask). Alt+Shift-click the layer mask to display it in ruby color (50% red). Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the mask icon to load its transparent selection.
133. The mask added by clicking the "Add Layer Mask" icon on the layer panel (at the bottom of the layer panel) displays all the contents of the current selection by default; hold down the Alt key and click the "Add Layer Mask" icon to add a mask. The mask hides the contents of the current selection.
134. When the current tool is the Move tool (or hold down the Ctrl key at any time), right-click on the canvas to open a list of all layers at the current point (sorted from top to bottom): Select the name of a layer from the list to make it the current layer. .
135. Hold down the Alt key and click the right mouse button to automatically select the uppermost layer of the current point, or turn on the automatic layer selection option in the Move Tool Options Panel to achieve this.
136. Alt+Shift+right-click can switch whether the current layer is linked to the top layer.
137. When we need to select multiple layers, we can first use the selection tool to select an area in the file and draw a selection virtual frame; then hold down the "Alt" key, when the cursor changes to a small "-" in the lower right corner When the "+" sign is used (this means reducing the selected area or pixels), pull out the second box inside the first box; then hold down the "Shift" key when the cursor changes to a small box with a small mark in the lower right corner. When the "+" sign appears, pull out the third selection box inside the second box, so that they can be used in turn to make multi-layer selections. Irregular objects can also be selected in this way.
138. Press Shift+"+" key (forward) and Shift+"-" key (backward) to switch between the composition modes of various layers. We can also press Alt+Shift+"a certain character" to quickly switch to the synthesis mode. N=Normal, I=Dissolve, M=Multiply, S=Screen, O=Overlay, F=Soft Light, H=High light (Hard Light), D=Color Dodge, B=Color Burn, K=Darken, G=Lighten, E=Difference, X= Exclusion, U=Hue, T=Saturation, C=Color, Y=Luminosity, Q=Behind, L=Threshold, R= Clear, W=Shadows, V=Midtones, Z=Highlights
139. Photoshop is a 32-bit application. In order to view the file correctly, the screen must be set to 24-bit color.
140. First execute the "View" → "New View" command to create a new window, and then execute "View" → "Preview" → "CMYK" to view images in both modes at the same time.
141. Click the eyedropper or crosshair on the window to change the size and color mode from the pop-up menu.
142. Hold down Shift and click the color bar under the color panel to change the type of color spectrum displayed. Alternatively, you can right-click the color bar and select other color modes from the pop-up color bar option menu.
143. Click any blank (gray) area on the palette panel to add a custom color to the palette. Hold down the Ctrl key and click to subtract a color. Hold down the Shift key and click to replace one. color.
144. Color data can be exchanged between Photoshop and other programs (other programs that support hexadecimal color values) by copying and pasting the hexadecimal color values displayed in the Photoshop color picker.
145. When opening the Color Range dialog box, you can press the Ctrl key to switch between image and selection preview. If you press the Shift key, the straw will turn into a plus straw with a "+" sign, and if you press the Alt key, the straw will turn into a minus straw with a "-" sign. 146. Press Shift+Backspace to directly bring up the coloring dialog box.
146. To convert a color image into a grayscale image, the usual method is to use "Image" → "Mode" → "Grayscale", or "Image" → "Decolor". But now there is a way to convert colors to grayscale in a more detailed way. The step is to first convert the image into Lab color mode: "Image" → "Mode" → "Lab Color", then go to the channel panel, delete channel a and channel b, and you can get an image with a more delicate grayscale
147. Press the Ctrl key and click the preview area with the mouse to enlarge the image; press the Alt key and click the preview area with the mouse to reduce the image.
148. Make pictures with transparent background. Generally speaking, pictures with transparent background on the Internet are in GIF format. In Photoshop, you can first use the command "Image" → "Mode" → "Index Color" to convert the picture into 256 colors. , and then use the command FileExportGIF89a to output the image into a GIF file that can contain a transparent background. Of course, don’t forget to use Photoshop’s color selection eyedropper in the command window to set some colors in the image to transparent colors! When saving the file Do not choose to save or save as, but directly select "Output GIF" and then select the transparent color. If you need the transparent parts to be white, select white, and so on. When making pictures, hide the background image and then Save for Web It can be transparent.
149. When writing Chinese characters on a GIF image, why are the writing discontinuous? First convert the GIF to RGB, then convert it back to Index Color after writing the characters.
150. If the bright colors of the image are excessive due to the execution of the USM sharpening command, you can first convert the image to Lab color mode, and then execute the USM sharpening command in the brightness channel. This will not only achieve the purpose of clearing the image, but also It can also avoid affecting the color.
151. To check whether the image input by the scanner is ideal, you can open the information palette and observe that the bright and dark values of the image reach 240 and the dark value reaches 10, indicating that the image contains sufficient details.
152. If you want to convert a color picture to a black and white picture, you can first convert the color mode to Lab mode, then click the brightness channel in the channel panel, and then execute the "Image" → "Mode" → "Grayscale" command. Since Lab The color gamut of the mode is wider, so that the converted image has richer layers.
153. When using Photoshop, we often need to find suitable material pictures from a large number of libraries. At this time, ACDSee can be used to help. You can arrange the ACDSee window and the Photshop window on the screen at the same time, and then use the mouse in the ACDSee browsing window Drag the selected picture (you can select multiple files at the same time by pressing the Ctrl key) to the Photoshop window. Wait until the small "+" icon appears under the mouse pointer and then release the mouse. The picture will be opened in Photoshop.
154. What kind of pictures are suitable for weight loss? In general, we should make corresponding weight loss measures based on the picture quality we require. There are also some pictures that always need to be modified. If you easily merge them and click save, your future modification work will become complicated. Because after saving, you can no longer restore and split the layers, so you should think twice before doing so. Therefore, don’t blindly pursue capacity and ignore quality, which may cause unpredictable trouble in the future!
155. Ways to lose weight in image files Resize images: A larger size image takes up more disk space because it has more pixels. But if you try to use the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes in the markup to resize the image, you will be disappointed because that will not save download time. Use thumbnails: By setting a very small version of an image, users can click on it to see the full image. But you should indicate the full image size next to it so users can decide whether to view the full image. Storing GIFs as JPEG: JPEG compression works best for images with many colors. Increase the compression ratio: If it is a JPEG file, you can resave it with a higher compression ratio to reduce the file size. But don't forget the price: higher compression ratios reduce image quality. Reduce color depth: The color depth of a GIF image is at most 8 bits (256 colors), which stores less information per pixel and the final file will be smaller. Adjust the contrast level in an image: Most graphics software offers heavy-touch options such as gamma correction and highlights/midtones/shadows to change the contrast within an image. Reducing these values usually reduces file size. Suppress dithering: Dithering refers to using colors in the existing palette to approximate colors that are not in the palette. Dithering increases GIF file size.
156. How to lose weight on pictures with fonts: Many times we like to use the "Font" function of Photoshop to add a few words to pictures to make them more beautiful. But this finishing touch may make the occupied space soar in vain from tens of K to a capacity counted in M. Strange, why is the change suddenly so big? In fact, after merging the layers, use other tools such as ACDSee to convert the format or save it as other formats, then delete the original image and it will naturally become smaller! Generally, save it as. jpg is more suitable. If the quality requirements of your picture are not too high, you can merge the layers first and then convert it to index color (below 256 colors) or control the size based on the .jpg format.
157. File weight loss: For example, if you save a *.TIF file in Photoshop, how can the original file of more than 100K become more than 3M? In fact, you only need to change the format and then delete the original file.
158. What format should the black and white pictures be scanned into? If it is a chart, use gif; if it is a photo, use jpg. It is recommended to convert black and white pictures to grayscale first and then save them as gif; if the color is below 256, it is best to use gif - the file size is small and there is no loss of quality; if it is true color, it must be jpg.
159. Transition from real to virtual. How to achieve a gradient of opacity of a selected area or layer from high to low in Photoshop? It is very simple. Just feather the selected area or make a layer mask, and then create a new layer to cover it. Make a black and white gradient, and then merge the layer selection screens where the effect needs to be done. You can also use a gradient mask to transition this area or layer from 100% opacity at the top to 0% at the bottom. These percentage values can also be changed at will.
160. Image mixing and superposition: In advertising design, image synthesis and superposition are often used. In fact, the function is very simple: open the main image as the background image. Then open another image, Crtl+A to select all, and Crtl+C to copy. Back to the main image, Crtl+V to paste. A new layer appears here. In this layer, select the mode as Multiply or screen. At this point, the two images have been superimposed. Finally adjust the position of the image to be the best. A very artistic effect has appeared, you can also clone your twin!
161. How to realize the function of drawing dotted lines in Photoshop. Double-click the Brush you want to use, change 100% in the Spacing area to be larger, and a gap will be left. Then use Brush to draw it.
162. Remove burrs: You can try to use the path tool or magic wand to outline the outline of the image, then use "Feather" of "Select", then invert the selection and delete, it may be better.
163. How to save the extracted image without the background color: "Copy" the area selected by the dotted line, then "Paste", then delete the bottom layer, and finally "Ctrl+S". Note that the storage format should be .PSD format or .EPS format or .AI format.
164. Quick filling: Open the picture to be filled, execute Ctrl+A, select all images, execute "Edit" → "Define Pattern", define the image as a pattern and then execute "Edit" → "Fill".
165. Remove the texture from the picture:
(1) Scan a picture of a pictorial or magazine. Generally, the texture is caused by the rough texture of the paper used for printing the pictorial or magazine. When scanning, the dpi value should be set higher. The higher the resolution, the larger the scanned image will be, and the higher the relative fineness will be. A higher resolution will create good conditions for the next step of image reduction and filter processing.
(2) Adjust the image to the appropriate size. Select the "Image Size" option under the "Image" menu. The "Image Size" dialog box will pop up. Make sure that the Limit Ratio option under it is checked. In the pixel size, change the Width after pixels to percentage. The Width value at this time becomes 100. At this time, you can enter the required percentage value to reduce the image proportionally. The reduced texture has been slightly reduced.
(3) Use Gaussian blur to eliminate reticulation. Select "Show Channels" in the "Window" menu. The channel panel appears. The four channels are RGB, Red, Green and Blue. Select the Red channel and the picture will appear in black and white. Select "Blur" → "Gaussian Blur..." in the "Filter" menu, and the Gaussian Blur dialog box will pop up. Adjust the radius value to control the blur range so that the mesh in the Red channel is almost invisible and the image content is slightly blurred. Then adjust the Green and Blue channels respectively in this way to make the mesh in this channel disappear. Finally, back to the RGB channel, the picture at this time has no interference from the mesh. Note: The value of Radius cannot be set too large to avoid excessive impact on the RGB channels and making the picture hazy.
(4) Adjust the final effect. If the mesh is too clear and the radius value is set to a large value, the image in the RGB channel will be somewhat blurry. If you want to make the content of the picture clearer, you can also perform the "Sharpen" clearing effect in the "Filter" menu. Finally, use the "Adjustment" → "Levels" or "Brightness/Contrast" options in the "Image" menu to set the contrast and other values you need to achieve the final satisfactory effect.
