Getting the correct distance between two objects is crucial in web design but it can be a tedious task to measure everything. With the Photoshop CC 2014 release, you longer do you have to guess the measurements between objects. The new Smart Guides are one of the most useful features because they show you the relative distance between objects and make positioning objects much easier. To use Smart Guides, hold the Control or Command key. A purple smart guide will appear and you can see the distance between your selected layer and the canvas. You can even measure the distance between two layers simply by hovering over the other layer. If you don’t see anything, make sure that you have the Move or any Path tool selected then try again.

Tip: If you want to change the measurements, simply press Ctrl/Cmd+R to enable the Rulers then right-click on the ruler and select the measurement you’d like to use.

Smart Guides also let you create matched spacing so that you can duplicate a layer to another position and repeat this with the same spacing you had before. For example, let’s say we want to duplicate this circle three times. Simply hold the Alt or Option key then drag it towards the right.

Repeat the same thing by holding Alt or Option and dragging another circle towards the right. Photoshop will automatically snap this circle so that the spacing matches.

A new feature in Photoshop CC that wasn’t found in Photoshop CS6 is Linked Smart Objects. This feature lets you embed a file to your Photoshop document and anytime you edit that Linked Smart Object, your file will save as well. This also works the other way around – you can edit your file then update your Linked Smart Object and it’ll update your Photoshop document with the new file.

If you wanted to turn the Linked Smart Object into a regular embedded one that isn’t linked, you can simply right-click on the layer and choose “Embed Link”. But in previous versions of Photoshop CC, you couldn’t do this vice-versa and turn an Embedded Smart Objected into a Linked Smart Object. Now you can do this in Photoshop CC 2014 by right-clicking any Embedded Smart Object and choosing Convert to Linked. When you do this, Photoshop will open a new window asking where you’d like to save the file. Save the file and your Embedded Smart Object is now a Linked Smart Object.

When you start using Linked Smart Objects, you’ll often find yourself having to organize where those files are stored in your computer. And if you have a document with many Linked Smart Objects, it can be a lot of work to organize all your files and send it to your coworker. Instead, you can now use the Package tool which will save a copy of your Photoshop document with all the Linked Smart Objects into any folder. Simply go to File > Package, browse for a folder where you want to save the files, and Photoshop will automatically save your document with all the Linked Smart Objects organized into the Linked folder.

What happens when you open a Photoshop document with a missing Linked Smart Object? Photoshop will let you know about the error and you can find the file.

If If you can’t find the file, Photoshop still has a raster version of the layer that you can use but you need to rasterize your layer. If you try to edit the layer, Photoshop will ask you if you want to rasterize the Smart Object. Click Yes and you can edit the layer.

The last update for Smart Objects are selectable layer comps. Sometimes you need to create multiple variations or compositions of the same artwork. For this, you can use the Layer Comps panel by going to Window > Layer Comps. You can create multiple layer comps and change the layer visibility, position, and appearance. In Photoshop CC 2014, you can easily switch between different layer comps on your Smart Object. To do this, select a Smart Object then go to Window > Properties. You’ll find a dropdown menu for you to pick the layer comps.

Photoshop CC 2014 brings a huge update to the Text tool. Firstly, you can pick your fonts quicker with the live font preview. Simply hover over a font from the options bar and your text will update. You can also do this by pressing the up or down button. Sometimes a font will have several styles – instead of pressing up or down multiple times until you get to the next font, you can hold the shift key while pressing up or down and it’ll skip the styles and go straight to the next font.

Another feature you’ll notice is the green icon beside the font. This indicates that the font is from Typekit – a respiratory of fonts that are free to use with your Creative Cloud membership. Simply click on the   button and the Typekit website will load in your browser and automatically log you in. From here, you can select the font you want to use and sync it to your computer. The font will appear in Photoshop automatically without restarting.

Back in the Photoshop font selection menu, you can filter the fonts list so that it only shows fonts from TypeKit.

 

You can also search for a font by typing. For example, you can type “bold cond” to find all the bold condensed fonts.

Finally, if you open a Photoshop document with missing fonts, Photoshop will automatically inform you if they’re available on Typekit and you can

With the new Path and Spin blur modes for the Blur Gallery filter, you can create realistic motion blur along a path or a circular motion blur. To access these, go to Filter > Blur Gallery > Path or Spin blur. First, we’ll show you the Path blur. This blur mode lets you create a motion blur along a path. Simply draw a path in the direction that you’d like the motion blur to move towards. You can also draw multiple paths in different areas.

The Spin blur creates a circular motion blur and it’s great for making the wheels look like they’re moving.

With the two new blur modes, you can create great looking motion blur car ads.

Here’s a photo of with a blurry background and let’s say we want to make a selection of just the areas that are in focus. We can do this easily with the new Focus Area selection tool. To use this, go to Select > Focus Area.

Adjust the “In-Focus Range” setting or checkmark the Auto box to have Photoshop guess it for you. The selection isn’t always perfect but you can use the add and subtract tools to fix it. When you’re done, you can further enhance the selection by clicking on the Refine Edge button. This will bring up the Refine Edge tool to improve your selection.

And just like that, we created a quick selection of the in-focus areas that we can use with any adjustment or fill layers.

Here’s what the eyes will look like when we’re done:

Here’s a close-up view just to see the effect more clearly:

Let’s get started!

Let’s start with the eye on the left of the photo. We’ll go through the steps needed to create the effect in one eye, then it’s simply a matter of repeating the same steps for the other eye. To begin, select Photoshop’s Elliptical Marquee Tool from the Tools panel along the left of the screen. By default, it’s hiding behind the Rectangular Marquee Tool. To access it, click on the Rectangular Marquee Tool’s icon and hold your mouse button down for a second or two until a fly-out menu appears showing the other tools that are available in that same spot. Choose the Elliptical Marquee Tool from the list:

We’ll use the Elliptical Marquee Tool to draw a selection around the iris (the colored part of the eye). In my photo, the upper part of the woman’s iris is covered by her eyelid, so to select it with the Elliptical Marquee Tool, we’ll need to use a couple of different selection modes, as we’ll see in a moment.

First, I’ll zoom in on the eye a little bit by pressing and holding Ctrl+spacebar (Win) / Command+spacebar (Mac) on my keyboard, which temporarily switches me to the Zoom Tool, and clicking a few times on the eye. Once you’ve zoomed in, release the keys to automatically switch back to the previous tool (the Elliptical Marquee Tool, in this case):

With the Elliptical Marquee Tool in hand, I’ll drag out an elliptical selection outline around the iris, ignoring for the moment that the top of my selection is extending up into the eyelid. To reposition the selection outline as you’re drawing it, press and hold your spacebar, drag the selection outline into position, then release your spacebar and continue dragging. Don’t worry if you select a little bit of the white area around the iris as well. We can easily remove it later:

To remove the part of the selection that extends over the eyelid, we’ll need to switch selection modes. By default, the Elliptical Marquee Tool is set to the New Selection mode, which means it will draw a brand new selection every time we use it. That’s usually what we want, but not in this case. We need the Intersect With Selection mode which we can switch to by clicking on its icon in the Options Bar along the top of the screen:

A small “x” will appear in the lower right of my mouse cursor letting me know I’m in the Intersect With Selection mode. With the initial selection still active, I’ll click and drag out a second selection around just the part of the initial selection I want to keep, which is everything except for the top area that extends over the eyelid. Notice that the top of my second selection is now cutting off the unwanted top area of my initial selection. Again, to reposition this second selection as you’re drawing it, press and hold the spacebar on your keyboard, drag the selection outline into position, then release your spacebar and continue dragging:

With my second selection outline in place, I’ll release my mouse button, and because I was in the Intersect With Selection mode, Photoshop keeps only the part of the initial selection that was surrounded by the second selection. The unwanted top area over the eyelid is now gone:

Next, we’ll copy our selection to a new layer. Press the Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key on your keyboard and, while still holding the key down, go up to the Layer menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen, choose New, then choose Layer via Copy:

Holding down the Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key as we select New Layer via Copy tells Photoshop to pop open the New Layer dialog box for us so we can name the new layer before it’s added. Name the layer “left eye”. Leave all the other options set to their defaults:

Click OK when you’re done to close out of the dialog box. Nothing will seem to have happened in the document (except that the selection outline will disappear), but if we look in the Layers panel, we see that our selection is now sitting on its own "left eye" layer directly above the original image on the Background layer:

Dalam tutorial ini, kita akan mempelajari semua tentang perintah Color Range dan mengapa hal itu seperti alat yang hebat untuk memilih area di gambar berdasarkan tone atau warna. Perintah Color Range mirip dengan Wand Tool Magic dalam keduanya digunakan untuk memilih area berdasarkan nilai-nilai tonal dan warna, tapi itu benar-benar di mana akhir kesamaan. The Magic Wand pertama kali diperkenalkan jalan kembali pada versi pertama dari Photoshop, dan sementara itu masih bisa berguna di kali, tidak butuh waktu lama untuk orang-orang di Adobe untuk menyadari bahwa mereka bisa melakukannya lebih baik. 

 Di Photoshop 3, mereka memperkenalkan perintah Color Range sebagai pengganti macam untuk Magic Wand. Namun untuk semua fitur-fitur canggih dan fleksibilitas, belum lagi hasilnya jauh lebih baik, perintah Color Range menjadi tidak lebih dari satu dari Photoshop terbaik menyimpan rahasia sementara Magic Wand tetap alat pilihan bagi sebagian besar pengguna. Dalam tutorial ini, kita akan mempelajari mengapa perintah Color Range, bukan Magic Wand, adalah alat Anda harus menggunakan ketika membuat nada dan pilihan berbasis warna.  

Di mana Untuk Temukan The Color Range Command 

Perbedaan pertama antara Color Range dan Magic Wand adalah bahwa Color Range sebenarnya bukan alat seleksi sama sekali, yang mengapa Anda tidak akan menemukannya dicampur dengan Magic Wand dan alat-alat lain pada panel Tools. Color Range adalah perintah seleksi, dan kami mengaksesnya dari tempat yang sama kita mengakses perintah lain - Menu Bar di bagian atas layar. Pergi ke Pilih menu di Menu Bar dan pilih Color Range:

Ini akan membuka kotak dialog Color Range. Jika Anda sudah menggunakan Magic Wand untuk sementara dan hanya sekarang melihat Color Range untuk pertama kalinya, Anda mungkin berpikir "Ya ampun, tak heran kebanyakan orang masih menggunakan Magic Wand! Apa sih yang saya cari di sini? ". Pada pandangan pertama, perintah Color Range bisa tampak sedikit menakutkan. Setelah semua, dengan Magic Wand, semua yang kita lakukan adalah memilih alat dari panel Tools dan klik pada gambar. Tapi jangan biarkan kesan pertama menipu Anda. Color Range ini sangat mudah digunakan setelah Anda tahu cara kerjanya (yang, tentu saja, Anda akan setelah membaca tutorial ini!):

Select Option 

Mari kita lari cepat melalui dari beberapa hal yang kita lihat di kotak dialog Color Range. Kita akan melihat pilihan yang paling penting untuk saat ini dan menyelamatkan yang lainnya untuk sedikit kemudian. Di bagian paling atas dari kotak dialog adalah Pilih opsi. Secara default, itu diatur untuk Sampel Warna:

Mari kita lihat sebuah contoh, yang juga akan memberikan kita kesempatan untuk melihat pilihan yang tersisa di kotak dialog Color Range. Dalam gambar ini, saya ingin memilih hanya mawar merah di gambar sehingga saya bisa meninggalkan mereka dalam warna sementara mengubah sisa gambar hitam dan putih:

Dengan kotak dialog Color Range terbuka dan Perangkat pipet utama saya aktif, saya akan klik sekali di dalam salah satu mawar untuk membuat pemilihan warna awal saya:

Untuk menambahkan lebih banyak wilayah seleksi saya, saya akan tekan dan tahan tombol Shift saya, yang sementara mengarahkan saya ke Sample Tool, dan saya akan klik pada sisi yang lebih merah di mawar. Saya juga dapat menarik seluruh daerah, seperti yang kita lihat dengan gradien, untuk menambahkan beberapa nuansa merah seleksi saya sekaligus:

Pada Photoshop CS4 dan seterusnya, terdapat fungsi yang disebut Localized Color Clusters. Pilihan ini digunakan untuk mempermudah pemilihan warna yang kita inginkan. Ada opsi tingkat Fuzziness dan Range, yang hasilnya dapat langsung ditampilkan di kotak preview. 

Segera setelah kami menyalakan Localized Warna Cluster, pilihan lain, Range, menjadi tersedia langsung di bawah slider ketidakjelasan. Dengan Rentang diatur ke 100% (atau dengan opsi Localized Warna Cluster dimatikan), Photoshop akan terlihat di seluruh gambar untuk bidang pencocokan warna untuk menambah pilihan. Tapi seperti yang kita menurunkan nilai Rentang dengan menyeret slider ke arah kiri, kita kirim Photoshop untuk melihat hanya pada bidang foto yang lebih dekat ke daerah kami mengklik, dan mengabaikan daerah-daerah yang terlalu jauh dari tempat kami diklik. 

Dengan kata lain, saya dapat memberitahu Photoshop untuk mengabaikan bagian merah dari gaun wanita di bagian atas foto, dan hanya fokus pada daerah dekat dengan mawar (daerah saya mengklik untuk sampel warna) hanya dengan menurunkan nilai Rentang saya . Aku akan menurunkan nilai Rentang saya turun menjadi sekitar 50% atau lebih. Dan sekarang. jika kita melihat di bagian atas jendela pratinjau, kita melihat bahwa itu telah menjadi hitam pekat, yang berarti gaun wanita tidak lagi merupakan bagian dari seleksi karena terlalu jauh dari mawar:

Saya akan terus klik di dalam mawar dengan Add saya untuk Sample Alat untuk menambahkan lebih banyak wilayah seleksi saya. Lalu aku akan menyempurnakan pilihan saya dengan slider ketidakjelasan saya. Dengan contoh gradien kami melihat sebelumnya, kita melihat bagaimana untuk menambah seleksi dengan meningkatkan nilai ketidakjelasan, tetapi dengan gambar ini, aku benar-benar akan memperketat seleksi sedikit dengan menurunkan nilai ketidakjelasan saya sedikit. Akhirnya, aku akan kembali menyesuaikan nilai Rentang saya untuk memperketat seleksi lebih jauh, dan setelah bermain-main dengan pengaturan selama beberapa menit (Anda akan sering perlu untuk bolak-balik dengan pengaturan untuk mendapatkan segala sesuatu dengan benar), saya senang dengan hasil akhir saya:

Untuk melengkapi pilihan saya, saya akan klik OK di pojok kanan atas kotak dialog untuk menutup perintah Color Range, dan sekarang kita melihat standar "semut berbaris" pilihan menguraikan dalam dokumen saya. Seperti yang saya sebutkan sebelumnya, garis seleksi hanya muncul di sekitar piksel yang setidaknya 50% yang dipilih, yang berarti apa yang kita lihat sering tidak sepenuhnya akurat:

Untuk segera menyelesaikan efek saya, saya akan klik pada ikon New Adjustment Layer di bagian bawah panel Layers:

Ini menambahkan Adjustment Layer Black & White di atas gambar saya pada layer Background. Kita bisa melihat di layer mask thumbnail preview yang Photoshop menerapkan pilihan saya buat dengan perintah Color Range untuk Adjustment layer ini.

Aku akan membiarkan Adjustment layer Black & White default, hanya supaya kita dapat melihat bahwa berkat perintah kemampuan Color Range untuk memilih mawar berdasarkan warna mereka, saya bisa dengan mudah mengisolasi mereka dari sisa gambar sehingga mereka dapat tetap dalam warna sementara hal lain dikonversi menjadi hitam dan putih:
