How can we do this? An ordinary scale won\u2019t work, so let\u2019s try a Content-Aware scale.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Duplicate the <strong>Original Image Layer, <\/strong>and rename this layer to<strong> Content Aware Scale.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">With the<strong> Content Aware Scale <\/strong>layer selected, choose Edit Content-Aware Scale.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Start by scaling the image vertically, then horizontally. Notice that Photoshop does a pretty good job, but unfortunately the lady is still being distorted.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">We can solve this issue by \u201cprotecting\u201d the lady. To do this, let\u2019s use the lasso tool to draw a rough selection around the lady.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Choose Select Save Selection, and name the selection <strong>Lady<\/strong>. Deselect the selection by pressing Command D.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Choose Edit Content-Aware Scale again, but this time in the Options Bar, make sure Protect is set to <strong>Lady<\/strong>.

Sometimes getting things to follow perspective along a vanishing point can be tricky. One way to make working with perspective easier is to use Photoshop\u2019s Vanishing Point Filter. This part of the tutorial introduces us to the Vanishing Point Filter and how to use it correctly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<table style=\"margin: 0 auto\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3a_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3a_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1.jpg\" alt=\"Image of a blank road sign, with the juxtaposition of the word &quot;Perspective&quot; in the top left side\" width=\"512\" height=\"340\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38 size-full\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3b_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1.jpg\" data-wp-editing=\"1\"><img src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3b_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1.jpg\" alt=\"The same image.

For the colour of the type, click on the colour selector in the Options Bar, and use the Eye Dropper to select the off-white area of the sign.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Duplicate the type layer, and then rasterize this duplicated layer. We are doing this because the type will have to be rasterized to work with the Vanishing Point Filter. Rename this layer as <strong>Perspective Rasterized<\/strong>. Turn off the original Text Layer.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">With the <strong>Perspective Rasterized<\/strong> Layer selected, choose Select All, and then Edit Cut.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Now choose Filter Vanishing Point.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Once in the Vanishing Point Filter, use the Create Plane Tool to identify the shape of the sign. Tip: If the outline goes red, the shape cannot fit nicely into a plane, so readjust until the outline is blue. Now choose Edit Paste.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Move the pasted text into the sign area. Notice how the perspective automatically conforms to the plane we created.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Choose Command T for freeform transform, and scale down the text slightly to better fit the sign area. Adjust the positioning of the text, and then click ok<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Save your file and close it.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s89eiZqT4hE[\/embed]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2 class=\"import-ListBullet\">Using Channels as Intricate Masks<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"import-ListBullet\">Masking can be another challenging aspect of retouching in Photoshop, especially when the area we are trying to mask has very fine, intricate areas.

The challenge is to quickly and effectively remove the sky without making the trees look unnatural.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Double click on the Background Layer, and rename it <strong>Original Image<\/strong>. Now duplicate the <strong>Original Image<\/strong> Layer and name this layer <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong>. Turn off the visibility of the <strong>Original Image<\/strong> Layer.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Now go to the Channels Palette. Toggle between the Red, Green, and Blue Channels. Notice how the Blue Channels has the most contrast difference between the sky and the trees. For this reason, we will work with the Blue Channel.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Duplicate the Blue Channel and name it <strong>Mask.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">With the Mask Channel selected, choose Image Adjustments Levels.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Slide the left slider of the Input Levels to about the 150 mark. Slide the right slider to about the 160 mark.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Make sure your foreground colour is set to black and your background colour is set to white. Use the Paint Brush Tool to fill in black spots, and the eraser tool to clean up white areas.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">When you are happy with your results, turn the Mask Channel into a Selection by clicking the Load Channel as Selection Icon on the Channel Palette.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Click on the RGB Channel to show all colours.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Go to your Layers Palette. With the <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong> Layer selected, choose Layer Layer Mask Hide Selection. The sky should now be masked.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Now we need to add the Toronto skyline to the image. Open the file GCM738_Tutorial_03_Toronto.tif, then select the whole image and copy\/paste it into the <strong>GCM<\/strong><strong>738_Tutorial_02_Forest_01_Intitials_v1<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><strong>psd<\/strong> file. Name the new layer Toronto Skyline, and drag it below the <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong> Layer.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Scale the Toronto Skyline to fit the area.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Our image looks fake because the foreground is too light. We need to fix this. With the <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong> Layer selected, choose Layer Layer Style Colour Overlay. Make sure the Color is set to black, and set the Blend Mode to Darken. Set the opacity to 75%.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Now let\u2019s do some final tweaks. Duplicate the <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong> Layer and name the new layer <strong>Trees Darkened<\/strong>. Disable the Layer Style on the <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong> Layer.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">With the <strong>Trees Darkened<\/strong> Layer selected, lock the transparency on the layer.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Select the Brush Tool and change the Opacity to 40%. Hold down the Option Key and sample a dark green area of the trees. Now use the Brush Tool to paint over the lighter areas to make it look more natural.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Save your file and close it.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2>Colour Corrections for Enhanced Detail and Appeal<\/h2>\r\n<table style=\"margin: 0 auto\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/5a_Tutorial_03_Beach_03_JL_v1.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/5a_Tutorial_03_Beach_03_JL_v1.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a beach.\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47 size-full\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/5b_Tutorial_03_Beach_03_JL_v1.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/5b_Tutorial_03_Beach_03_JL_v1.jpg\" alt=\"The same photo with colour adjustments. \" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48 size-full\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<p class=\"import-ListBullet\">Often with landscape images, we want to make the colours look better than they were when originally shot.

Then, using the Eye Dropper select the blue areas. Tip: Hold down the Shift Key and keep selecting blue areas until everything is selected. Click OK. Do not deselect the selection area.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Now go to Layer New Adjustment Layer Brightness\/Contrast. Name this Adjustment Layer <strong>Sky Contrast<\/strong>. Notice how our selection automatically converted .into a mask? This will make sure we change the colour of the sky without affecting the sand. Set the Brightness to -5 and the Contrast to 20.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Now go to Layer New Adjustment Layer Vibrance Name this Adjustment Layer <strong>Sky <\/strong><strong>Vibrance<\/strong>. Set the Vibrance to 25 and the Saturation to 20. Notice that the sand also changed colour.

This final part of the tutorial will look at how we can use a brush to add birds to an empty sky.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"import-ListBullet\">Let\u2019s begin:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Open the tutorial file named <strong>GCM<\/strong><strong>738_Tutorial_02_Flying_Birds.tif.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Save the Image as a .psd file to the <strong>03 Working Photoshop Files <\/strong>folder with the name <strong>GCM<\/strong><strong>738_Tutorial_02_Flying_Birds<\/strong><strong>_Intitials_v1.psd, <\/strong>where \u201cinitials are your initials (e.g. GCM738_Tutorial_02_Flying_Birds_JL_v1.psd).<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Double click on the Background Layer and name it <strong>Original Image.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Create a new layer and call it <strong>Birds.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Now open the file named <strong>GCM<\/strong><strong>738_Tutorial_02_Bird_Outlines.tif.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Using the Rectangle Marquee Tool, draw a selection around the first bird. Choose Edit Define Brush Preset. Name this brush Bird 1. Do the same thing for the second bird, and name this brush Bird 2. Now return to the <strong>GCM<\/strong><strong>738_Tutorial_02_Flying_Birds<\/strong><strong>_Intitials_v1.psd<\/strong> file.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Make sure your Foreground Color is set to R 0 G 0 B 0, and your Background Color is set to R 110 G 110 B 110.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">To make these birds look natural, we have to change some settings in the Brush Engine.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Select the Bird 1 Brush. Note that if you try to draw with it, it will just make a big streak. This is not what we want.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Open the Brush Engine. Make the spacing 500% and the Size 50px.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Check on Shape Dynamics. Make the Size Jitter 60%, the Minimum Diameter 10%, and the Angle Jitter 15%.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Check on Scattering. Make sure Both Axes is checked, and then change the scatter amount to 400%.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Check on Color Dynamics. Set Foreground\/Background Jitter to 100%. Set both the Saturation Jitter and the Brightness jitter to 40%.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Save this as a new Brush Preset.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Repeat this process with the Bird 2 Brush, only vary the settings for each slightly.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Once both Presets are saved, use them to draw some birds.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Toggle the visibility of the <strong>Birds<\/strong> Layer off and on to see the changes.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Save your file and close it.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThis lab tutorial demonstrated several key tools and techniques we can use to retouch landscapes and places. As with the last tutorial, it should be noted that there are many other things we can do, and this tutorial is by no means an exhaustive example of everything Photoshop can do in this regard. It is also worth mentioning that there are several different ways Photoshop can be used to achieve the same result. This tutorial only shows some of the many, diversified paths that we can take to achieve the same end.Try practicing this tutorial on your own, and see if you can complete it.

This part of the tutorial introduces us to the Vanishing Point Filter and how to use it correctly.<\/p>\n<table style=\"margin: 0 auto\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3a_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3a_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1.jpg\" alt=\"Image of a blank road sign, with the juxtaposition of the word &quot;Perspective&quot; in the top left side\" width=\"512\" height=\"340\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3a_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1.jpg 512w, https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3a_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3a_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1-65x43.jpg 65w, https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3a_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1-225x149.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3a_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1-350x232.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3b_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1.jpg\" data-wp-editing=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.ryerson.ca\/photoshopped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2020\/07\/3b_Tutorial_03_Perspective_01_JL_v1.jpg\" alt=\"The same image.

The challenge is to quickly and effectively remove the sky without making the trees look unnatural.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Double click on the Background Layer, and rename it <strong>Original Image<\/strong>. Now duplicate the <strong>Original Image<\/strong> Layer and name this layer <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong>. Turn off the visibility of the <strong>Original Image<\/strong> Layer.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Now go to the Channels Palette. Toggle between the Red, Green, and Blue Channels. Notice how the Blue Channels has the most contrast difference between the sky and the trees. For this reason, we will work with the Blue Channel.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Duplicate the Blue Channel and name it <strong>Mask.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">With the Mask Channel selected, choose Image Adjustments Levels.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Slide the left slider of the Input Levels to about the 150 mark. Slide the right slider to about the 160 mark.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Make sure your foreground colour is set to black and your background colour is set to white. Use the Paint Brush Tool to fill in black spots, and the eraser tool to clean up white areas.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">When you are happy with your results, turn the Mask Channel into a Selection by clicking the Load Channel as Selection Icon on the Channel Palette.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Click on the RGB Channel to show all colours.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Go to your Layers Palette. With the <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong> Layer selected, choose Layer Layer Mask Hide Selection. The sky should now be masked.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Now we need to add the Toronto skyline to the image. Open the file GCM738_Tutorial_03_Toronto.tif, then select the whole image and copy\/paste it into the <strong>GCM<\/strong><strong>738_Tutorial_02_Forest_01_Intitials_v1<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><strong>psd<\/strong> file. Name the new layer Toronto Skyline, and drag it below the <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong> Layer.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Scale the Toronto Skyline to fit the area.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Our image looks fake because the foreground is too light. We need to fix this. With the <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong> Layer selected, choose Layer Layer Style Colour Overlay. Make sure the Color is set to black, and set the Blend Mode to Darken. Set the opacity to 75%.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Now let\u2019s do some final tweaks. Duplicate the <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong> Layer and name the new layer <strong>Trees Darkened<\/strong>. Disable the Layer Style on the <strong>Sky Masked<\/strong> Layer.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">With the <strong>Trees Darkened<\/strong> Layer selected, lock the transparency on the layer.<\/li>\n<li class=\"import-ListBullet\">Select the Brush Tool and change the Opacity to 40%.

This tutorial only shows some of the many, diversified paths that we can take to achieve the same end.Try practicing this tutorial on your own, and see if you can complete it.
