how it was before we did anything any of the edits or another way you guys can do that let's say you you scaled it you did a bunch of stuff to the object but you didn't you want to just revert it to how it was before um before you went to touch control T you guys can just click this sort of like undo icon I guess and as you guys can see it kind of revert sit to what we did before the transform options so now what we're actually going to do is yeah as you guys can see you guys can scale it visually as I said or you can actually do it here so let's say we want it twice as big as it is now so we can go % by % so it's basically two times bigger than it was and then once we are happy with what we do the edits we did we can just click this check arrow and then there are the check icon and then basically we've just applied all the changes we did to this object all right so now we're gonna actually now that's basically like the very basics of the interface and now we're actually gonna add some effects to this box like a drop shadow maybe an outer glow or something like that and this is actually very simple to do so we're just gonna navigate down to oh yeah make sure you're selected on the certain layer so if we selected on this it kind of shows like these little square icons where you can obviously do the changes and then you can do all the stuff that we learned so I'm just gonna revert back to how it was but make sure you're selected on the rectangle on top and this is all very important to actually know like the it's kind of like a hierarchy so it let's say we wanted to have this background on top of this where we wouldn't be able to see this we'd basically just have to drag that on top so any any layer that is on top is is shown on top of it so it's basically like a layering system it's very straightforward so yeah always make sure that the smaller layers this backgrounds are always on the bottom of everything but that's basically the way you want to think about it so yeah make sure this layer is on top of the background and then let's say we want to add like I said effects so we click on the rectangle and go down to this effect icon click on that and then go blending options so now this is where we have a bunch of options where we can mess around with so the first thing I'd like to do is to drop shadow so have a little shadow on behind this box so we go down to this option and click on drop shadow so as you guys can see um we have a little shadow behind this box but we can make it more dress like make it bigger so we can increase we can like make it bigger by increasing the size and then the spread the spread essentially makes it more like condensed I want to say but I'm not sure if that's the right word to use but um so basically yeah we can increase it using the spread and size size just makes make it makes the shadow spread a bit more so let's make this size a bit smaller so as you guys can see we have a little shadow behind and that looks pretty nice and what else can we do um for the effects we can add a stroke and the stroke is basically like a little outline that goes around any jects so the stroke we can change the color let's make it red for example and then we can press ok and we can also increase the size of the stroke by going by clicking dragging or so like in putting your own number so let's say we want it pixels and as you guys can see that's the pixel stroke that we have around this rectangle now and what else can we do we can do a bevel and emboss as you guys can see it adds like a little nice d sort of embossed bevel sort of effect and we can increase the depth and by doing so it gives that illusion even more and then we can obviously increase the size and that and that doesn't look very good let's make it yeah that looks good alright umm what else can we do we can also add a pattern overlay and then you can mess with this add your own patterns and stuff but these are the default patterns that come with Photoshop so this is a nice little texture sort of thing that's that's a cool texture but we can't really see it since the background is like white so yeah those are basically like textures you can add so we're not gonna really add anything for now I'm just gonna keep it like that or actually let's just add bat texture like that looks pretty cool and what else can we do we can do an outer glow so outer glow is basically let's add a different let's make it red so it'll go nicely with the D border so or the stroke so the outer glow is essentially just just like a drop shadow sort of thing it it's very similar to the shadow but it's it basically is just like a little glow of a certain color that you can choose that basically outlines around the object you can also do inner glow that that basically does the same effect but towards the inside of the object and instead of it having it on the outside of it so we can also do color overlay this is where we can if it's not a shape and we can't edit the fill we can actually do it here manually so we can go to color overlay and and then we can change the color do it to whatever color we want choose whatever color we want and yeah we're not gonna do that now so we're gonna just uncheck that satin basically just makes it a little darker but that can be cool effect and also yes inner glow inner shadow the shadow is based inner shadows basically like a drop shadow but it makes it like in the inside of it same as inner glow in comparison to outer glow so the same sort of idea and a gradient overlay this is a this is a cool feature that we can take a look at so gradient overlays essentially it kind of mixes colors into instead of having one solid color so as you guys can see this is a mixture of like a black sand gray /white ish color and there's a couple presets which we can choose is like a rainbow and this there's like striped black there's like there's cool colors so these are only the presets but you guys can edit them so let's say we wanted that and then we can edit it so we can change the colors here so we can actually select that and then we can select different colors so let's say we want in the middle color like green we can have it red and yeah so you can edit it to whatever you basically want so there um let's say we're happy with that and then that's the gradient overlay so it's basically like a mixture of colors that's a best way to think about it I guess so um yeah let's just keep it with that texture and so yeah those are basically like the effects the central effects they're so easy to you know to use and it's very simple and to add everything and drop shadow all the strokes everything um they're very simple yet they're used in like you know and in quite complex graphics I always use them these are very basic and they work really well so they're awesome so now we're actually gonna import eight an image from the internet that I downloaded and edit that so the way we're gonna do this is actually gonna go to file and then we're gonna go to place so there's two ways we can do this we can go to file place and then find the image that we downloaded so we're this is an image of the McLaren p or let's say we undid that and then we can go to file open and then we can open that and then that actually opens it to the exact dimensions of the image itself and that's the way best way to do it if you want to edit a certain image instead of doing it instead of placing it inside a project but let's say you have a project where you want to mix pictures in and add different pictures you can go to file place and then find the image and then put it in but um yeah so we're gonna basically do some edits to this to this image so the first thing we're gonna do is actually duplicate this McLaren p so we're gonna go to this tool right here which is called the lasso tool and as you guys can see down here we have a little um this thing that says % is basically the how much it's zoomed to the original size so let's go a hundred percent so that just this just means that we are looking at the exact resolution of this image and the reason why we go % when editing the full project is that is so we can see the full project because if you go over % we'd have to scroll around to be able to see everything but for this for the lasso tool it's very important to see every little detail so we're gonna go % and if you guys have a smaller image that you want to edit then you'd want you you'd want to go even bigger but essentially for this we're just gonna go % and once we were zoomed in we're just gonna have a nice shot of the McLaren so basically just zoom in to a point where the biggest part of the image is the the focus where you want to duplicate so now we're just gonna outline this this McLaren p having selected this lasso tool so we're gonna outline it starting from here and we're gonna do a bit of a sloppy job here it's not very important to be very precise but all you got to do is just click and drag with your left left mouse button tool and just select all the outer part of the image that you so yeah I'll leave this image in the description down below that you guys can edit the same exact thing that I'm doing but if you guys wanted to do a different image just find one on the Internet anything really uh it doesn't really have to be carved but for this tutorial is simple on a car this this image is actually very good for like the duplicating and everything and that we're going to do so I'm just selecting it with this lasso tool doesn't really have to be very precise if I was gonna do this very precise auto likes
