I'd like to talk to you about some of the techniques of using ps, but if you're going to learn how to get better pay for ps, you're going to be a professional designer, you're going to learn from the teacher, you're going to take responsibility for yourself, and you're going to do a great job
And an efficient configuration secret to get your photoshop ash! Photoshop high-impact operational configuration strategy
1. Optimization of the path selection tool (cc+)
This article is aimed at the techniques of the ps cc and above (which were not available at the time of the release of the ps cc and were added to the subsequent update), and when the cc was first used, it was believed that many people had some discomfort in using the path selection tool — there was no choice
The thing is, in cc, adobe changes the level of the path tool to a global level (like ai), double-clicking locks the target layer, and without locking the path selection is not limited by the layer. The general point is that no matter how many layers you have, lock up or not, you can be selected, but the selection is not necessarily operational (e. G., the chosen path contains the upper lock layer), which is quite different from our previous operating habits, and adobe has discovered this problem, so this switch has been added to the subsequent version
This time it's better understood, as shown in the above figure. After all layers, you can only select the current layer, with some automatic selections like mobile tools。
This set-up allows us to control the range of path selections, to use "current layers" when choosing a path rather than being disturbed by other layers, to use "all layers" when using "all layers" when requiring bulk operation, and to control them as they please
There's more to this technique
2. Create a copy
Shortcut: ctrl+j, extension shortcut: ctrl+shift+j
[c]+j believes that we all know that its standard term in ps is "by copying (shape) layers" to create a copy layer from one layer (constituency, shape) of a region, which is quite perplexing, so look at the figure:
And what about its expansion? Look at the following:
It's still quite understandable
So the question is, what can we do with it
How can the multiple shapes in the unified layer be quickly converted into multiple layers? I taped him the above-mentioned gif..
Best choose the path selection tool [select all layers (cc+)]
Select layer, switch to path selection tool
Click the shape/path, [c]+[s]+j
Repeat step three until the split is over
It's simple, isn't it? It's a good idea
With all due respect to my limited capacity, this is the fastest split i can find without the plugin, and if you have a more efficient way to welcome the message
Of course, it's not just a split, it's more than waiting for you to find out
3. Alignment of teams/teams with constituencies
Shortcut: ctrl+g extension shortcut: ctrl+shift+g
In the second edition of the cold book there is a skill of alignment, and in the text it is said:
The selection or alignment of the constituency is above the map, so when you create a constituency in a drawing board, any alignment of the constituency is the key object
Here, we're going to go further. The alignment of layers is a priority. When there is a group of aligning objects, regardless of the number of layers in the group, they are bound by the sum of the boundaries of all groups of inner layers. That sounds a little crazy. Let's pick up a chestnut:
We draw the three layers a, b and c and adjust their spacing to the other layer d, and now we want to align the abc with the layer d at relatively constant intervals
Group a, b, c (ctrl+g)
2 press ctrl click on layer d to activate the constituency of the layer
3-point group 1, align
Ctrl+shift+g is back to square one
Ps: a lot of people have asked me why, after using alignment, the alignment was not done in accordance with the visual boundaries because -
In photoshop, the boundary of the shape layer is the path itself, not the visual boundary of the layer, and here it is
4. Reverse layers
Shortcut: none
A more secret technique
I don't know if you've ever had a similar problem, but you've got a whole bunch of layers, and the sequence is all the opposite
Some of them might say there must be a similar plug or move, but the ps always has this function
Layer - arrange - reverse (select multiple layers to use)
So look at the effect
N layer inverse arrange
Quick replace content
5. Non-linear historical records
It's a more remote function. It's not a good description
The above chart opens the state of non-linear historical records, and can be seen in the operations that are taking place after i have performed the revocation, which will take over, i. E., all historical records will be preserved, whether or not they have been withdrawn, so that our flexibility in making the drawings becomes stronger and, of course, there are so many disadvantages that the number of historical records will grow rapidly after it has been opened, without saying that the critical steps have been wiped out. Then there's the problem of habit, and when i first opened it, i felt like i had to do something different... And then the new energy came back, and i wonder if you're used to it
The method of opening is shown in the figure below:
6. Gradient window stretching
It's not cold. People who play ps often know it's hard to adjust the gradients of the super-tangular point, so just open the window on the edge, as shown:
7. Show masked
Many newcomers are not very clear about the concept of the mask, and this technique gives you a clear sense of how it works:
Press alt to click on the mask (the limit layer mask, the vector mask is invalid) at which time the drawing board will switch to the grey mass of the mask, making it easier to click on the mask again。
By the way, hold down shift click to disable
8. Steel pen rubber belts
A very interesting function. The following two contrasts:
See the little tail behind the pen? Isn't that funny? With this tail, you can immediately measure the trajectory of the next path
The method of opening can't be simple:
Up here, just put on the rubber belt
