Step 1

Download Image 1 from Edline.

Unlock the image and change the color mode to RGB.

We are going to learn another way to select images. Go to the tools in your left side panel and select the pen tool.

Notice that when you have selected the pen tool the options above your workspace would change, this will happen

anytime you change tool. Set the options above to match what you see below:

The previous choices will be useful to create paths (lines) without any fill or without modifying your original image.

Step 2

Once you have set the configuration for the pen tool you are going to draw a path. To draw a path you need to do it

point by point until you create a shape as shown in the picture:

Click once to get 1 point.

Then you click in the second point and you

Will see that a line will be drawn.

Continue until you have a CLOSED selection as you see below:

As you could see, selections can be made with the pen tool. When you finish press CTRL+Enter.

You will see how your line becomes a selection.

Step 3

Now insert a new layer in the layer panel. This new layer will appear above your

image (the skyscraper) as you see below:

Step 4

Now you are going to color the selected area. Choose black in the color picker in the left side tools panel

down menu and choose overlay:

Step 6

Change the layer style to bevel and emboss so you give your image the effect of texture. When you have the new

window just press ok.

Step 7

Download from Edline image 2. And open it in photoshop. We are going to insert this image in the image 1 we have

been working so far.

This procedure will not be shown, you have practiced this before.

The image inserted will look like this. Your panel layer will look like this.

Step 8

Be sure that the image you just have inserted is selected or blue in the layer panel.

We are going to transform your image to try to make it match the square in the building. Remember that you have to

press CTRL+T to transform images, so press CTR+T and resize it to make it as similar as possible to the square. .

You are going to find it impossible to transform it because the square in the building is in perspective. To transform in

perspective you only need to press CTRL (and remain pressing it) while you transform your image. Press CTRL as you

transform your image and you will see how your pointer will change to a black arrow:

Drag these corners

To transform it.

Now pressing control drag the points of the corners of your image to match the square you have in the building, leave a

small space in the corners to make it look like this:

WHEN YOU FINISH PRESS ENTER. You are now able to transform objects in perspective.

Step 9

We are going to make this image look like a screen. We need to give the image the effect of being made of small pixels

or an old television screen.

Be sure that your image in the layer panel is selected or blue and then go tofilter and choose noise/add noise.

A new window will appear, in this window you can add noise to your picture. Pleas

We are going to add 10% ofgausian noise

To give the effect of pixels to the image, look at

The settings in the panel to the left. When you finish

Press ok.

Step 10

Add some bevel and emboss to this layer to finish it (see step 6, do you remember?) and you will have an image as the

one below.

EXERCISE

REAPEAT THIS TECHNIQUE AGAIN, YOU CAN MAKE PERSPECTIVE INBUILDINGS, ON THE FLOOR, ON A HIGHWAY, ETC.
