Most tutorial books out there at the moment

are aimed at professionals or complete

beginners. What I aim to do with my book is to

cater to as many people of as many dierent

levels and abilies as possible, because I think

the magic of Photoshop should be available to

anyone willing to learn it.

Authors Notes

For my family, for always being there and for

pung up with my Photoshop rants.

When prinng in CMYK, tones of colour are

represented by individual dots, this eect

is called Half-tone. Each colour prints at

a dierent angle, if the dots all printed on

top of each other the print would look very

speckly and would have big gaps. This way

the dots are evenly spread around the image.

If you want to see half-tone dots yourself

simply look closely at a newspaper.

Newspapers are printed with a low dpi whichmeans the print is of a low quality and you

can see the individual dots with the naked

eye.

Colour

There are two main types of colour mixing i

Photoshop; RGB and CMYK.

RGBstands for Red, Green and Blue

CMYKstands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow

and Key (which means Black).

CMYK is used for prinng colours.

Combining cyan, yellow, magenta and black

gives us the vast majority of colours we nee

for example yellow and cyan give us green.

We can use less of yellow and cyan to get a

lighter green and add black to get a darker

green.

What happens if you want a specic colour?

To get over this problem the PANTONE

MATCHING SYSTEM was developed.

The PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM is

made up of three parts; a computer library of

colours, special inks and colour swatch books.

RGB is used for showing colours on screen.

Screens are made up of pixels and each pixel

has a red, green and blue light. If we wanted

a yellow colour the green and red light would

be on and the red light would be o.

Dierent devices and printers have dierent

colour ranges. These ranges can be represented

on a Gamut. A Gamut chart represents the

colours we can see with the human eye.As you can see with these charts, not all the

colours produced in a CMYK document will print

on an Ink-jet Printer or a Prinng Press.

The process from choosing a colour to geng

that colour printed goes like this:

A Pantone Colour is selected from a swatch

book.

That colour is applied to a digital document.

The document is sent to print.

Special inks are mixed to achieve the

Pantone colour.

The document is printed through the press.

Saving

Save and Save As can be found in File

Navigaon Window


13/57

When you have nished with an image you

need to save it. When saving your image

for the rst me go to File > Save and a

navigaon box will appear for you to select

the folder in which you want to save your

image.

Photoshop gives you the opon to save in

several le formats, but the only ones you are

likely to use are Photoshop (.PSD), JPEG and

PNG.

If you are working on a layered document and

want to save all of the layers to work on later,

save your image as a Photoshop format.

If you have nished eding an image and

want to email it to someone save it as a JPEG.

Aer clicking Save Photoshop will show

you a slider which gives you the opon tocompress your image to a size that your email

programme will be able to send quickly.

If you have nished eding and want to save

the image for home prinng, or viewing in

high-quality on screen, choose to save your

image as a PNG. PNGs are a higher quality

than JPEGs and will preserve a lot more detail.

If you have nished eding your image and

need a very high quality image for large sizes

like those used for professional prinng or

projecng, use TIFF. A TIFF le will preserve

all of the detail of your image. However it will

have a very large le size so is unsuitable for

emailing and is not any more detailed than

PNG when working on images at A4 size.

One of the key features of Photoshop is the use of

Layers. Layers are a way of working on mulple parts

of an image while being able to put them on top or

behind each other.

On the right is an example of a layered document

with 3 layers.

You can add a New Layer by going to Layer >

New > Layer. When starng with an image it will

automacally be a locked Background layer. If you

want to move the Background layer above another

layer you need to right-click it select Layer from

Background

Taken a photo but the weather wasnt going your way that

your photo, whether youre aer a clear blue sky or a stormy,

dramac backdrop.

1File > Open > Click Pantheon > Open.

Right-click Background > Layer from

Background > Name the layer Pantheon

> OK.

As you can see with this image the main

subject is dramac and interesng but the

sky is dull. The image would look more

dramac overall with a cloudier sky.

Time: 5 minutes

3Click the Pantheon layer. Go to File >

Place > Click Sky > Right-Click > Place.

Placing an image is the easiest way of

adding a second image to your current

Photoshop document. Photoshop will

automacally resize your image to t the

canvas you are working on, meaning you

wont have to spend me shrinking your big

photos down.

You can nd the layers in the Layer panel

at the right-hand side. Layers are how we

place images on top or behind each other.

Turning the Background into a layer will

mean that we can move it. Photoshop

will automacally give each new layer a

number, naming the layers as you create

them makes it easier to keep track of which

layer is which.


26/57

Click on the sky. Hold down Shi and then

click on any of the sky that is unselected.

Drag the Sky layer under the Pantheon

layer.

Click on the Pantheon layer. Select the

Magic Wand Tool.

The layers palee can be found at the

right-hand side of Photoshop.

The Pantheon layer needs to be on top

of Sky so that when the sky in Pantheon

is deleted the image from Sky will show

through.

Change the Tolerance to 60.

Making the tolerance higher will mean that

the Magic Wand Tool will select an area

of more similar colours. If we lowered the

Tolerance to 0 the Magic Wand Tool would

only select an area of exactly the same

colour. If we put the Tolerance right up to

100 the Magic Wand Tool would select

every colour.

The Magic Wand Tool automacally selects

a similar area of colour to where you click.

You can nd it in the le-hand toolbar.If there is an icon of brush and a circle

there instead just click and hold that icon,

it should bring up the selecon of Quick

Selecon Tool or Magic Wand Tool, click

Magic Wand Tool.

When using any of the selecon tools,

holding down Shi will add onto anything

selected. Holding down Alt will remove

anything from the selecon.


27/57

Click Rene Edge. Change Smooth to 10.

Click OK.

Press Delete. Go to Select > Deselect.

Changing the smoothness will make the

edges of the selecon less bumpy. This will

make the images look more seamless.

Select the Sky layer. Go to Edit > Free

Transform.

Free Transform lets you change the

dimensions of whatever is selected.

Holding down Shi while dragging a

corner of a selecon will make sure that

the height and width of the image will stay

proporonately the same however small

or large the image is scaled to (this is called

the aspect rao).

Here you can see all the unwanted sky has

been deleted and the new sky is showing

through, but there are some unwanted

buildings showing through so we are goingto ip the image.

We need to deselect the selecon before

ipping the image otherwise Photoshop will

try and ip the space we just deleted.

10

Change the Width from 100% to -100%

> Right-click > Place.

Changing the width to -100% will ip the

image from right to le. Before the image

had some buildings showing through from

the Sky image, but when ipped they are

all hidden behind the Pantheon image and

only the sky shows through.

Tip: You can also get to Free Transform by

Cmd/Ctrl and T.

Change Colour

Ever wanted to see what your hair would look like blonde? Or

what that t-shirt looked like in blue on you? Or wondered if

those owers would look beer in orange? Well Im going to

show you how to make that all possible.

1File > Open > Click Flower > Open.

2

Select > Colour Range.

Here we have a photo of purple owers. By

the end of the tutorial we will have turned

the owers from purple into orange.

Time: 15 minutes

3From the drop-down list select Magentas

> OK.

As purple is nearest to Magenta we choose

Magentas. By doing this we are telling

Photoshop that we only want Magenta

colours selected.

As we are only going to be changing

the purple secon of this image we are

selecng a colour range.

Tip: If you want to change a colour that isnt on the

can sample it by choosing Sampled Colors and c

the colour on the canvas with the Eyedropper Tool.


30/57

Select the Brush Tool, right-click anywhere

on the canvas and change the Size to 400

px and the Hardness to 100%.

Select > Rene Edges.

Change Feather to 2.0, Contrast to 50

and Shi Edge to +45.

As you can see our selecon of Magentas

doesnt cover the whole of the owers. To

do this we need to Rene our selecons

edges.

Layer > New > Layer > Name the layer

Colour > OK.

Now we have a our selecon we need to

add a new layer so that we can add our

new colour on top.

Increasing Feather means that the edges of

the selecon look soer, which helps make

the new colour look more natural.Increasing Contrast will make the

selecon more opaque. If we added a

colour on top without doing this, some of

the purple would show through.

Increasing Shi Edge means our

selecon has increased. 45% covers all of

the owers.

4

5

6

7

We are colouring in a selecon we need

to change the brush to a large brush so

that it will take less me. By increasing the

Hardness our brush will have a sharper

edge. This will make it easier to see if there

are any gaps in the colour.

Tip: If you want to paint a detailed area

use a small brush with a low hardness

and opacity.


31/57

Click the foreground colour palee.

Change the colour to #f99c34 > OK.

The foreground palee can be found on

the boom le-hand side of Photoshop, at

the boom of the toolbox. The foreground

colour is the upper most box. When using

the Brush Tool or the Paint Bucket Tool the

colour in this box is what will be used to

paint.

Click and hold and Brush over all of the

selecon once. Go to Select > Deselect.

To use the Brush Tool click and hold the le

mouse buon and drag the cursor around

the canvas. The brush will ll our selecon

with the orange colour we chose and leave

the rest of the canvas blank.

In the colour palee you can select a

colour in several ways. The box with # in

front of it is where colour codes known as

hex codes can be added. Hex codes arecodes that correspond to colours. In this

case #f99c34 is a light orange.

When selecng colours yourself it is

easiest to use the Hue and Saturaon

boxes. These are the colourful boxes at the

le of the colour palee.

8

10

Enter the Quick Mask Mode.

Quick Mask Mode can be found at the

boom-le of Photoshop at the boom of

the toolbox.

Quick Mask Mode lets you make a

selecon using the Brush Tool.

11


32/57

Change the Radius to 5.0 > OK > Select >

Deselect.

Select the Brush Tool, right-click anywhere

on the canvas and change the Size to 30

px and the Hardness to 100%.

Click and hold and Brush Tool to paint

over the edges shown here. Exit Quick

Mask Mode. Go to Select > Inverse.

We need a brush of 30 px and a Hardness

of 100% so that we can see where we are

brushing and so that we denitely get the

edges in our selecon.

Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.

To remedy the sharp edges we are going

to add a Gaussian Blur. There are several

methods of blurring in Photoshop but

Gaussian Blur is the easiest to control and

has the most realisc blur eect.

You can exit Quick Mask Mode by clicking

the Quick Mask Mode buon again.Weve selected these areas because

these areas are where the owers are

further away, in the background. If we

le the selecon as it is the orange edges

would look too sharp and wouldnt match

up with the edges of the ower in the

photo.

12

13

14

15

Giving the Gaussian Blur a radius of 5.0

means that for a distance of 5 px around

the edges of the image in the selecon a

blur will be added. If we increased this to

something larger there would be a more

blur because we are telling Photoshop to

blur more of the pixels.

Tip: If you go into Quick Mask Mode and

use the Gradient Tool you can make a

gradient selecon.


33/57

Select the Colour Layer and click

Normal from the drop-down list and

select Linear Light.

The layers palee can be found at the

right-hand side of Photoshop.

Blending modes are dierent ways

of adding layers to each other. By using

Linear Light the highlights and shadows

from the purple owers come through

onto our orange.

Remove Objects

Lined up that perfect shot and then someones walked into the

middle of it? Taken a photo of a beauful sunrise but that tree

is ruining the shot? Here are some ps and tricks for removing

unwanted objects.

1File > Open > Click Ducks > Open.

2

Select the Spot Healing Brush Tool.

In this photo we have 4 perfectly aligned

ducks, but a h has wandered into the

shot too and is ruining it. There are also

people walking in the background andducks in the water which I will show you

how to get rid of.

Time: 15 minutes

3Right-click anywhere on the canvas and

change the Size to 80 px and the Hardness

to 100%.

As we are going to be removing the stray

duck from the photo we need a relavely

big brush so that it doesnt take ages to

brush over. A Hardness of 100% will help

us to see any gaps in the brush strokes.

The Spot Healing Tool can be found in the

le-hand side of Photoshop, in the toolbox.

It is underneath the Eyedropper Tool and

above the Brush Tool.


36/57

Select the Clone Stamp Tool.

Click and hold to brush over the ducks

head.

Brush over the head and legs.

When removing large objects it is

somemes easiest to remove them in

secons. Here the head make a convenient

rst secon.

Brush over any remaining duck.

There will probably be some areas le over

that have not turned into gravel like the

rest, just keep brushing over any remaining

parts unl they disappear.

Next we can remove the rest of the duck.

You can brush over the main body and

then the legs if you nd it easier.

4

5

6

7

You can nd the Clone Stamp Tool in the

le-hand side of Photoshop, underneath

the Brush Tool and above the History

Brush.


37/57

Hold down Alt and click on an area of

darker gravel by the third duck, then

release Alt and click on the lighter gravel

to copy that area.

Go to Layer > New > Layer.

Some of the gavel is darker, use the Clone

Stamp Tool to make the gravel look more

uniform. Holding down Alt and clicking

tells Photoshop that you want to use that

part of the photo as the source. Clicking

normally will copy an area from that

source.

Name the Layer Bush > OK. Click on the

Background Layer.

Naming the layer will help us keep track of

what is on each layer.

We are adding a new layer so that when

we Clone some of the bush over the

walkers we can erase bits that go over any

of the ducks we want to keep. If we didthis without adding a new layer it would

be dicult to get those parts of the duck

back.

8

9

10

Hold down Alt and click on an area of

green bush on the top right, then release

Alt. Select the Bush Layer and click on

the furthest right walker to copy that

area.

Here we are telling Photoshop to source

the brush from the Background Layer and

to copy it to the areas we brush in the

Bush Layer.

11

Tip: You can also get to a New Layer by pressing

Cmd, Shi, N.


38/57

Erase the edges of the new bush area so

that it blends in with the rest.

Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool

Go to Edit > Copy and then Edit > Paste.

Move the bush over the legs of the

walkers > Press Enter.

The Polygonal Lasso Tool can be found

in the toolbox on the le-hand side of

Photoshop, underneath the Marquee

Tools and above the Quick Selecon/Magic

Wand Tool.

Select the Eraser Tool, right-click

anywhere on the canvas and change the

Size to 40 px and the Hardness to 0%.

As we are going to be erasing the edges

of the bush we need medium sized brush

with so edges .

When copying large secons of a

background it is easier to copy a largepart of it with a Lasso or a Marquee Tool

rather than using the more complicated

Clone Tool. However for close-up, detailed

copying, the Clone Tool is beer.

12

13

14

15

The so edges of the brush have meant

that now our bushes blend together

seamlessly.


39/57

Select the Bush Layer. Change the Layers

Opacity to 50%.

Select the Eraser Tool. Right-click


Size to 20 px.

As you can see, some of the bush has come

over the top of the ducks head. Lowering

the opacity of the Bush Layer enables us

to see where the ducks head is.

Click and hold to erase the parts of the of

the bush covering the ducks head.

Here we have removed the secon of the

bush obscuring the ducks head whilst sll

covering up the walkers feet.

We only need a small brush for this as we

dont want a lot of bush being removed.We also want the edges of the erased

secons so be smooth so we need a

Hardness of 0%.

16

17

18

Right-click the Bush layer and select

Merge Down.

We dont need to work on the Bush layer

by itself any more so we can merge it into

the Background layer.

19

If you are working on an image with lots of layers

you can hide some by clicking the eye icon.


40/57

Go to Edit > Copy then Select > Deselect

then Edit > Paste.

Select the Clone Stamp Tool. Right-click

anywhere on the canvas change the size

to 40 px.

Use the Clone Stamp Tool to copy the

wooden rail and bush into areas where

there are sll bits of the walkers le.

Now that we have a lot more source area

to work with we can use the Clone Stamp

Tool to remove the rest of the walkers.

Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and select

a part of the wire fencing below the duck

you want to get rid of.

This will be the part of fencing youll use

to cover up one of the ducks in the water.

Selecng a secon where the colour is the

closest to the areas around the duck will

help the selecon blend in.

Remember, to source an area to copy hold

down Alt and then click, then just clickto copy that area. When cloning make

sure parts like the wooden rail line up,

otherwise that secon will look unrealisc.

20

21

22

23

This has now placed a copy of the selecon

onto a new layer on the canvas.


41/57

Select the Move Tool and click, hold and

move the cursor to drag the selecon over

the duck.

Go to Edit > Transform > Warp.

We need to move the layer on top of the

duck so that the duck is hidden.

Click, hold and drag the cursor to pull the

corners and centre of the selecon to

align the wire meshing.

Pulling dierent parts of the Warp grid

will warp those parts of the layer. For

example if you pull the top right of the

layer outwards it will stretch the layer

outwards in that direcon too.

Because the edges of the layer and the

original wire fencing dont match up we

are going to use Warp to align them.

24

25

26

Repeat steps 2226 for the other oang

Duck.

Using steps 2226 will ensure that both

ducks are covered.

27


42/57

Select the Brush Tool. Right-click


Size to 80 px and the Hardness to 0%.

Select the Eraser Tool and erase the edges

of the fencing on top of the ducks.

Right-click any layer in the Layers panel.

Select Flaen Image.

Make sure you have the correct layer

selected when erasing; if you are erasing

from the rst selecon you used make

sure Layer 1 is selected, and Layer 2 for the

second selecon.

Enter the Quick Mask Mode.

Rather than selecng with a hard edges

tool like the Polygonal Lasso Tool, we want

a so selecon. Quick Mask Mode is great

for this.

We want to work on the image as a whole

now rather than individually, so we can

aen the layers together into one.

28

29

30

31

We need a big brush as the patches of dark

are quite big. We also want so edges so

our Hardness needs to be at 0%.

Tip: If you are working on a transparent

image, clicking Flaen Image will give

your image a white background.


43/57


44/57

Select Use Legacy, Increase the

Brightness by 15 and the Contrast by 10.

Select the Clone Stamp Tool. Use it to get

rid of any dark or light spots.

Photoshop has two ways of brightening

and darkening; it can brighten/darken each

pixel (An older method), or only brighten

highlights/darken shadows (A newer

method). The older method of brightening

and darkening is turned on when Use

Legacy is cked. For this parcular

selecon Use Legacy looked more natural.

As we have copied two large background

areas there are going to be odd looking

repeats of highlights and shadows in theimage. These repeats can be removed with

the Clone Tool.

Restore Damaged Photographs

Only have one photo of your great-grandparents but it looks like its been

through a bush backwards? Dropped tea on your photo album? In this

tutorial I am going to show you how you can restore your photographs to

their former glory.

1File > Open > Click Three Uniformed Men

> Open.

2

Crop out the white edges.

As you can see this photo has a lot of noise

and creases. We are going to reduce as

much of the noise as we can and get rid ofthe creases.

Time: 60 minutes

3Image > Adjustments > Desaturate.

The image was originally black and white,

but due to fading and/or the scanning

process it looks purple. Here we have

made the photo black and white.

The edges of the photo have rips and

secons we dont need. We can just crop

all of these out. You can nd the crop

tool in the le-hand of Photoshop in the

toolbox above the Eyedropper Tool.


48/57

Filter > Noise > Reduce Noise.

Select the Spot Healing Brush Tool.

Right-click anywhere on the canvas and

change the Size to 15 px and the Hardness

to 0%.

As we are going to be removing the creases

in the image we need to use the Spot

Healing Brush Tool. The Spot Healing Brush

Tool takes parts of the image from around

the edges of the healing area and puts

them over the top of the crease.

Use the brush to go over the creases.

The creases that you should brush over

with the Spot Healing Brush Tool are

shown here in red.

We need a small brush here as we are

going to be doing detailed brush work.

4

5

6

7

The image is very speckly, the more

speckles an image has the more noisy it

is. The Reduce Noise funcon will help us

get rid of these speckles.


49/57

Change Strength to 10, Preserve Details

to 0%, Remove Colour Noise to 100% and

Sharpen Details to 0%.

Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool.

These sengs enable us to blur out as

much of the noise as possible.

Select the light area of the back of the

chair.

Select the light part of the chair and some

of the background area.

We need to correct some of the photo that

has Spot Healed wrong. The back of the

chair has a dark area that makes the chair

back look strange.

8

9

10

Edit > Copy > Edit > Paste.

We are going to copy the good side of the

chair back and use it to become the other

side of the chair back too.

11


50/57

Select the Eraser Tool.

Edit > Free Transform.

Change the width to -100%.

We need to move the copied chair back

and change the angle, to do this we need

the Free Transform Tool.

Change the angle to 17.

Changing the angle to 17 will mean that

the copied part of the chair back will look

like it is the correct perspective.

Changing the width to -100% will mirror

the selecon.

12

13

14

15

The edges of the selecon are very sharp,

using the Eraser Tool will help to make the

new chair back look more natural.

Tip: If you change the Height value from

100% to -100% it will ip the image

from boom to top.


51/57

Right-click anywhere on the canvas and

change the size to 20px.

Erase the edges of the copied selecon.

We need a larger brush so that we can

erase the edges of the selecon. Make sure

the Hardness is 0% otherwise the Eraser

Tool will takes chunks of the selecon out

and will look unnatural.

Right-click Layer 1 in the layer panel >

Select the Colour Replacement Tool.

Use the Clone Tool to get rid of the dark

patch above the chair back and the line

going through the middle.

Geng rid of this seam makes the back of

the chair look a lot more natural.

This has increased the amount of contrast

in the image, improving it.

here if you do not wish to add colour to

your photograph.

The original image has a very low contrast,

the image could be improved by adjusng

its Levels.

This is the colour we are going to be using

to colour in the skin, the nearer to white

the colour is the more desaturated the

#533a33 is a shade of Brown. This will be

the colour for the hair and eyebrows.

Make sure the skin on the faces and hands

of all three men are painted. Change the

paint within the edges of the chair easily.

Paint the walls.

We dont know what colour the walls

would have been, but painng them in this

o-white gives the photo a more natural

look, as the oor and the walls would

probably not have been the same colour.
