WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Adobe Photoshop, Adjustment Layers and more!
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Adjustment layers enable non-destructive editing by overlaying tonal and color adjustments. They provide a flexible editing workflow, allowing changes to be tweaked or removed at any time. Mastery of adjustment layers can enhance creative control and preserve image quality.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different tools and techniques and gradually show your success!

Open Photoshop
Open Photoshop
Click YOUR FILES (on the left)
Double click Photography Folder
This is mirroring your folder on your desktop!
Click the file we began last week:
First Name Last Name Norway.psdc
psdc=Photoshop document Cloud
Now lets fit our image on screen
Press Ctrl + 0
Add creative effects
Add creative effects
Convert color to black and white, and add an old-fashioned tinted look
Let's start by putting all the layers into a protective bunch called a Smart Object.
This enables us to apply an editable filter to all the layers at once and protect the original photo.
Click the top-most layer (Patch layer)
Hold the SHIFT key down and select the bottom-most layer (Layer 0)
All layers should be selected.
Now choose the FILTER tab (on top)
Select CONVERT FOR SMART FILTERS
Click OK if you see a message
Photoshop tucks the layer content into the protective wrapper of a smart object so the filter you are about to run happens to the wrapper instead of what's inside.
You can always access your original layers by double clicking the smart object layer's thumbnail in the layers panel.
Let's turn our image black and white with an adjustment layer
Click the Adjustment Icon on the bottom of the layers panel and select Black & White
In the Properties Panel, you can use the sliders to adjust the contrast in the image to your liking.
For example, to darken the reds (where they were when it was color) in the image, drag the red slider to the left.
To lighten the reds (where they were when it was color) in the image, drag the red slider to the right.
To add an artistic color tint to the image, turn on the TINT check box.
When you do, Photoshop tints the image with a light brown creating a sepia effect.
To change the color tint, click the colored square next to the word TINT.
In the color picker click within the vertical bar to choose a range of colors.
And then click within the larger box to the left to pick a brightness level.
Click OK to apply.
Sharpen and save
Sharpen and save
Apply a sharpen filter to give your photo a finishing touch. Then save your edited file in PSD format to preserve your layers for future editing. To share your photo online or by email, save a copy as a JPEG.
Sharpening an image in Photoshop is similar to sharpening a kitchen knife.
In both instances you are emphasizing edges.
On a knife it is easy to identify the edge. It's the side that can cut you.
In a digital image, it's the areas of high contrast where vastly different color pixels meet, such as where a tree meets the sky, or with our photo, where red roofs meet white siding and where the lake meets the shore.
To emphasize those edges, photoshop lightens the light pixels and darkens the dark pixels.
In the layers panel, turn OFF the Black & White Adjustment layer by clicking the eye to the left of the Black & White layer
Then make sure to SELECT (activate) the PATCH Layer
We have already prepared our layers with smart filters (You can run multiple filters on a single smart object)
Click the FILTER tab (on top) and select SHARPEN>SMART SHARPEN
In the dialog box, you will see a preview of the image on the left and controls for sharpening on the right.
You can enlarge the preview by draggin the lower right corner of the dialog box.
Use zoom tools beneath the image to preview to set you document zoom level to 100% so you can see an accurate sharpening preview.
Now click and drag within the preview box to bring an important part of the image into view.
Pull until you see the red house.
Set the PRESET menu to default, then adjust the sliders to your liking.
Let's adjust RADIUS first
The radius tells Photoshop how many pixels on either side of the high contrast edge pixels to emphasize.
Think of this as sharpening width.
The higher the number, the more obvious the sharpening.
For the best results keep this setting LOW.
Adjust AMOUNT next
With the Adjust slider at 200%, drag it slowly left until the sharpening looks good to you.
If you see any speckled flakes appear in the image, drag the reduce noise slider to the right to get rid of them!
When everything looks good, click OK to apply the filter!
Be patient while Photoshop applies the filter!
Add a Signature!
Let's add a TEXT layer to sign our photo!
Make sure to have the Patch (Smart Object) layer selected!
Select the Horizontal Type Tool
Click in the image near the BOTTOM RIGHT corner
Type YOUR First & Last Name
Notice! There is now a Text layer and the name of the layer is YOUR name!
With the Horizontal Text Tool still selected, triple click your name
or click and pull to select your entire name.
With the text selected (highlighted)...
In the Properties Panel, change the font (you choose) under Character by clicking the pull down (arrow) menu
TIP: Try a Script font by clicking the filters on the left (Script)
With the text still selected...
Click the box to the right of COLOR
Make your name WHITE
Different ways to do this:
Click the top left corner of the color picker
or RGB 255 each
or CMYK 0 each
or Hex #ffffff
Click OK
Go to the MOVE TOOL (the 4 sided arrow) in the tool bar
Click and pull on the inside of the text of your name to move your name so it sits on the bottom right corner and looks acceptable (like a signature)
Be careful NOT to pull on any of the handles or it will change its size!
EXPORTING A FILE
Before we EXPORT, let's turn the Black & White layer back on!
(Click the EYE to the left of that layer!)
Notice your name should be easier to read now!
In order to share the image with others (online or otherwise who don't have Photoshop) we need to Export our image to it in a different format.
Choose
File>Export>Export As
In the dialog box on the right under File Settings:
Format: JPG
Quality: 7
Click EXPORT
Save the JPG file in your Photography folder on your desktop!
File Name: First Name Last Name NORWAY
Save as type: JPG (*jpg)
