Adobe Photoshop CS2 CLASSROOM IN A BOOK [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

1.

Click the Go to Bridge button (). In Bridge, click the Lessons folder favorite(if it is not already selected), and then double-click on the Lesson08 folder. Locate the 08C_Start.psd image, and double-click it to open it in Photoshop.

You will start by defining the perspective grid. Then you will create a fourth window and remove the seasonal wreath.

2.

Choose Filter > Vanishing Point. An image preview appears in the Vanishing Point dialog box, which provides a variety of tools and options for creating a perspective grid.

3.

Using the Create Plane tool (), define the size and shape of the perspective plane by successively clicking each of the four corner points of the main wall of the house. A blue outline appears as you click. Try to click the four corners where the red siding meets the white trim, clicking over the plant in the lower right corner. When you finish, Photoshop displays a blue grid over the plane that you just defined.

NoteIf you make a mistakefor example, if a red border appears and the perspective grid doesn'teither press Delete and try again, or drag the handles to adjust the grid.

4.

If necessary, drag a corner or a side handle to adjust the grid.

1.

Select the Marquee tool () from the Vanishing Point dialog box's tool palette. Notice that the detailed grid disappears from the preview window, replaced by a less-distracting blue outline of the perspective grid.

2.

To slightly blur the edge of the selection you're about to make, set the Feather option to 3 at the top of the dialog box. Leave Opacity set at 100 and Heal set to Off. Move Mode, which is set to Destination, should be dimmed.

NoteThe Heal option determines how the selection, cloning, or paint stroke blends with the color, lighting, and shading of the surrounding pixels. Off doesn't blend the selection or stroke with the color, lighting, and shading of the surrounding pixels. Move Mode determines the behavior when moving a selection. Destination lets you move the selection marquee anywhere in the image. For more on these options, see Photoshop Help.

3.

Drag a selection marquee around and a little larger than the center window. Then, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and drag the selected area to the right. Release the mouse when the copied window is positioned between the right window and the far end of the wall. As you drag, Photoshop scales the selection according to the perspective of the wall.

4.

To prepare to remove the wreath from the wall, select the Zoom tool and drag it over the three left-most windows to get a closer view of them.

5.

Switch back to the Marquee tool () and drag to select the empty wall between the two left windows.

6.

Once again, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and drag the wall selection between the center and right windows, on top of the wreath.

Although the copied selection keeps perspective in its new location, it doesn't cover the whole wreath. Some of the wreath still shows in the image. You will fix this next.

7.

Select the Transform tool (). Notice that Photoshop now displays handles on the selection.

8.

Drag the transform handles to expand the selection and cover the wreath. If necessary, use the up, down, right, and left arrow keys to nudge the selection and align the cloned clapboards.

9.

Deselect the Show Edges box and zoom back out to see the results of your work. Then, then click OK to apply the vanishing-point filter effect.

10.

Choose File > Save As. In the Save As dialog box, name the file farmhouse_final.psd and save it in the Lesson08/Portfolio folder. Then, close the image window.

Note

Images with the Vanishing Point filter applied must be saved as PSD, TIFF, or JPEG in order for the perspective plane information in the image to be preserved.

Next, you will correct an image that contains camera lens distortion.
