Well, this is Dr. Bell. Welcome back in this video we'll be rendering cloud. Selecting the inverse and adding a drop shadow. As we recreate the following image, well, now that we know want to do, let's go ahead, and I get started.
Some of the 1st step is open up adobe. Photoshop.
I'm gonna come right up here to file.
Choose new.
I'm gonna go with, say, 400 pixels.
On! With!
300 pixels on the height, 72 for the resolution, and go ahead and press, create.
But the 1st step we wanted to do was kind of create. Maybe I'll go with like a green and white background.
Let's do that. I'm gonna simply go ahead and.
Right now I press the default foreground. Icon. I'm gonna get black for the foreground.
And white.
For the background. I'm just gonna go ahead and press the foreground color.
And they'll come over here and get a shade of cream.
And press. Okay.
So now I've got green and white.
So now I'm gonna come up here and I'm gonna go up to.
I'm gonna come on down to a render.
And I'm gonna choose clouds.
And that's gonna kind of render some green and white clouds. And if you don't like these well, one thing you can do is come over here and change your foreground color, maybe make it a little darker, possibly add a little green to the background, color as well, but you can also come right up here and you can see the keyboard shortcut is control alt F.
So if I didn't like those, I can just continue to hit control Alt F.
And generate new clouds.
Okay? Taking a look at the next step.
On. This is, we had a burnt edge around the outside.
To do that. I'm gonna place that on its own layer.
Maybe I'll go ahead and press on the create new layer. Icon right over here right away.
And that's gonna add a blank layer.
I'm now going to go ahead and use the lasso tool.
I'm gonna set my father to say maybe 10 pixels.
And I'm just gonna kind of go around the perimeter here.
Nothing too exciting, and if you want, you can even actually go outside the damage.
Okay. What is now selected is everything inside.
What I would do is select what's outside to do that I'm gonna come right up here to select.
And I'm gonna select the inverse.
And then, since we wanted some black clouds, I'm gonna simply press on the default foreground. Icon. That's gonna get black.
And then I'm gonna come right up here and edit.
And choose the foreground color and hit. Ok.
At this point I'll go ahead and deselect that.
Just press in control. D.
Okay, final. Let's go ahead and add some text.
Repress on. Well, I'm gonna get me get a chance, maybe change the font color.
Actually, here's where you really changed it. But a lot of times when I changed it.
Here, and also changes it up here.
So at this point I can see I've got kind of a dark green. I'm just gonna go ahead and add some text.
Maybe I'll go ahead and highlight this text. Let's see if I want. If I can get this up to 100 pixels.
Man that's looking better. Use the move tool.
And reposition, that.
Okay? And then final last step is we're gonna add a drop shadow. And to do that I can just simply right click.
On the layer.
Come down to London options.
I'm gonna choose, drop shadow.
And the group, so the 1st time select the checkbox. Then come over here.
And press.
To display your options.
And feel free to adjust these a little bit here. Maybe the distance.
We can see, we can increase that.
I've got mine.
Let me just go with.
Paid on all of them here.
And you can also. Another thing which might want to do is just the opacity here it's at 0. And here it's really kind of at 70.
And finally press. Okay, so here's kind of the difference with that drop shadow with and without the drop shot. You kind of see it kind of jumps off the screen. There.
So finally, the last step would be to save this and just go up to file.
Save a copy.
And just go ahead and call this assignment of 16. I would probably call this one save it as either way, Jpeg. Or Png.
And maybe I'll just go with the Jpeg here.
And then again assign.
16.
And press, save.
Okay, well, hopefully, in this video, you learned how to create some clouds.
Add variations of those.
Go ahead and select an area, select the inverse. And then finally, we worked with a drop on the text. I'll catch the next video. Thanks a lot.
