Hello. Welcome back. And this video you'll learn about the magic wand and how to rotate part of an image as we take this purple arrow pointing in the right and will change it to an up arrow green
Okay, now that we know what we'll do, let's get started here. So the first thing I should probably mention is that you should find this image and the same area that you found a link to this video.
And most likely, when you first open ears up in Photoshop. It's only going to be at 100% so I'm going to go ahead and zoom in here a little bit here.
I'm going to take a look at this image, first thing I noticed that this image is an index format and I'm gonna be really restricted on
Top of operations. I can perform. For example, I can't do anything here with the layers window. I came up here to filter. I can see these are all grayed out.
So the first step I'm going to do is convert this image. I'm gonna go Image, Mode and I'm gonna go ahead and change it to RGB, red, green, blue car, at which point I come up here to filter all these options are available and the same thing down here, I can now create layers, etc. Then
We'll go ahead and first of all kind of show you the incorrect way of doing this. I'm a simply take this image.
Or this layer and drag it down to the Create new gear icon, just to the left of the trash can and that's going to create a copy of that.
Once you might be inclined to do is come up here to edit and I'm going to go to transform and I'm going to go to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise
And yeah, that rotated the image, but take a look here. Not only did I rotate the image, but it rotated like the frame around the arrow.
Some I go ahead and drag that one down to the trash can. And I'm going to show you how to show you now the correct way to do that.
So that we're only rotating the arrow and not kind of the frame or on the outside. And to do that, I'm simply I go ahead and select an area.
Around the arrow on they're going to come up here to edit and I'm going to go to copy them and turn right around and paste
And now I've got this on its own layer. And let's go ahead and kind of tidy that up. I'm gonna go ahead and momentarily turn off the background. So now I can just working on this one layer.
And to do that kind of remove that gray only use the magic wand. I'm going to simply position my cursor right here, click and I've now got all this great pixel selected, I'm just going to press the Delete key on the keyboard at this point only come along and these select them that
Now what I need to do is remove this arrow off my background layer. To do that, I'm using my eyedropper
I'm gonna go ahead and press right here where I can sample those colors. And sure enough, that is not my foreground color, I can now use the rectangle more key tool.
I can highlight an area around the rectangle. Make sure you're on the background layer when you fill and then I'm gonna come up here to edit and film and press OK, and then I'm going to end a dislike that
OK, now go ahead and turn the high back on to make that layer this phone so make sure that's not your active layer there.
At this point I can come up here to Edit, Transform and I'm going to go rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise them.
And if you want to, you may want to use the Move tool. At this point, I would probably be inclined to use the up and down arrows on the keyboard to kind of help.
Position that exactly where you want it. Okay, so we're rotated. Now we need to change it to a shade of green to do that are going to impress on the foreground color.
That's going up and up to kind of pick a window. It's like to shave the grand and as I mentioned before, if you're probably working on a website you can want to use some consistent colors here. So you probably plugin medicine. I'm just going to go in the recipe.
Now I'm gonna go ahead and I use the magic wand on the city. Select the purple, and then I'll come right up here and come to edit down and let me go ahead and press OK, and then I'll go ahead and select that.
Okay, finally, to save this image couple options here. One, I could come up here to the file, save as I could. Then come along and choose a gift.
Wherever you are.
I see that on the way up here with the top Compu serve. Yep. Now, we call this maybe assignment think this might 17 or something called an assignment.
Blank gift. And let me go and that council. Another way to do this for you to come to file and you could go to export and you could go export for web and I'm going to
Sit here and my screen recording and I'm not sure I can even get down to the bottom there. Yeah. Drag it off here to the side and down at the bottom, would be a Save button. Yeah, but I'm just going to go ahead and cancel them.
Okay, let me show you one last thing here. I've showed you how to rotate an arrow or what have you wanted to create your own arrow. But to do that, you simply come up here to file on the Chrome up here to File, New,
And let me just go there. I'm gonna go 310 with 300 and hide and let me hit Create at this point years maybe on the rectangle tool. I'm going to change mine to the line tool.
And I can see right now I'm I feel colors green I could change this to read. I've got a stroke, which is black. That's kind of the perimeter and that set to form. So if I not draw a line.
It's going to create just the line it's filled with red and black. And in order to let me see if I can resize this here.
And I'm now going to come over here and I'm going to add an ending ARROWHEAD, AND LET ME resize that
Okay, now let me create another line and it's going to be the exact same thing. The only thing now is it's kind of narrow ahead and actually mentioned, if you ever want
I just hold the shift key. Then when you get a nice perfectly straight line. If you take your finger out the Shift key, then you can get at various angles there.
Okay. And there we go. So hopefully this video you'll learn how to
We started off with an arrow and like a purple arrow pointing to the right and we change that into a green arrow pointing up. And then he says Lotus here at the end. I've showed you how to actually create your own arrows within Photoshop. I'll catch the next video. Thank you.
