Hello, Dr. Bill, welcome back. In this video, you'll learn how to render clouds at a drop shadow and possibly upper edge as we recreate this image.
Well, now that we know what we do, let's go ahead and get started here. So the first thing I would do is I come up here to file.
I'm gonna choose new and that's going to open up the new document when I can kind of drag this over here you can see this is going to probably all be on your screen initially here.
I'm gonna go ahead and go oh I don't know, maybe a 400 pixels in with and 250 pixels in height and I'm going to end up, press create
I can see right now I've got my foreground set to black. My background set to watch. So if I came up and rendered some clouds. I just came up here to filter and render
Clouds, they're going to be black and white. Let's assume we kind of want to get some
green and white clouds. Well, I'm just going to simply change simpler. So I simply press on the foreground color that's going to open up the Color Picker window.
And I'm gonna get a shade of green here and press OK.
And I'll come right back up here and I'm going to come to a Filter, Render and Clouds and I'm going to get in some green and white cloud. So maybe they're too wide. At which point you may even want to
Press on your foreground in the background icon and get a lighter shade of green. So here's what I've got going on kind of a darker green lighter green. So now when I come back up.
And run through the clouds and I need to probably tell you. Let me do this one more time here. Filter, Render clouds. So I've got some clouds here and maybe almost them want might want to like a little more light on this one, sleep, I can come over here a little bit further.
But what I once I've done this operation here. Take a look up here, the keyboard shortcut all control now. So now I can just simply hit all control on the keyboard.
And render additional clouds and kind of get some I'm happy with those. Okay, so we're rendered some clouds and to let's add the drop
At some a text with a drop shadow and then we'll work with that background. Okay, I take a look at ma here. It is the clouds large let's assume I want to add some light green text here.
So I'm just going to go ahead and change this back to green. I may want to go a little bit darker here. And I'll just simply add some text and mobile internet your name here. I'll just type in issue.
Okay.
And now I want to add a drop shadow. I'm just gonna come right over here on my layers window, and on the right click on one
And come up to blending options.
And them down here at the bottom. I'm gonna choose a drop shadow and then I clicked on the little checkbox. I then looked on drop shadow
And depending on your settings here, I'm just going to use. Sometimes I like to have that angled slightly here. I'm gonna go with 1010 1010 and just press OK.
OK, so there's my drop shadow. Now let's go ahead and so we wanted to add kind of a burden on the outside. If I do that I need to make sure the background is my active layer.
So it makes sure the backgrounds by active layer and I'm gonna have to get this out of the way here seeking that I work on this amateur
Now going to do is I'll use the Lasso Tool and the previous video I said it to 20 I'm gonna go ahead and repeat that. I'm just going to come around the outside.
And like so unless that you may want to put this on its own layer. I'll tell you what.
I'm just gonna leave it like this. I'm going to go ahead and change. Press the default foreground icon and get black. All right, now I was to build this. I came up here to edit and so it's going to fill
This area and which kind of defeats that all drop shadow, let me undo that a little Control Z. There
Instead, what I will do is get the outside. How am I going to select the outside is going to come right up here to select and inverse. So I had selected the inside out now selected the outside and which one I can come up here to Edit and Fill an expressive.
And a little Control D will do select that and I'm going to call this image finished. But let me go ahead and show you on this a wedding picture.
There maybe should have showed you the previous video there. So sometimes you may want to kind of have a softer edge there and hours from repeat that same process here.
I just use the Lasso Tool. I've got my feather to 20 and this case I've only got one layer. And I'm going to change it to why maybe to kind of
So now when I have the border, it's going to kind of a few more closely match or dress them. So I've got the the foreground set to a white. And now what I could do is either. I could just press the Delete key on the keyboard.
And there was the Delete key on the keyboard and pressing can ropes and just like we did earlier.
Control Z. There is I need to select the inverse, because while I had selected was this. I'm not selected the inverse. And now I'll press the Delete on the keyboard and impressive guy.
And there we go. It's now kind of got a little bit softer border on the outside. Well, hopefully you know this video you learned about clouds. Drop Shadows, creating a burnt edge. In this case, black, or in this case, we created a kind of an edge which was why what cash next video. Thank you.
