All right.
Welcome back.
On this video we're on to talk about the Edit menu.
So let's head over to Photoshop and load that up and let's click on the Edit menu here and I'm just
going to go over a quick overview of what everything is and then we'll actually use some of the tools.
OK.
So in the Edit menu you have the undo redo toggle last state.
Fade Cut Copy copy merged paste paste special and clear.
So these are common tools that I use all the time.
So let's control and to create a new document and we'll just do the default Photoshop size.
That's fine.
And what I'm gonna do is we're gonna draw number one two three and four.
You don't have to do that if you don't want to just follow along.
So I want to show you what you can do here.
So let's do we can undo the brush tool or target toggle last state.
OK so if I had control Zee it's going to get rid of the dot and then it's going to get rid of the for
a while.
What.
However I draw it.
So if I control Zee again I would get rid of the dot and get rid of the number three control Z get rid
of the dot get rid of the number two control Z get rid of the dot get rid of the number one now if I
want to redo that
then what I'm going to do is I'm going to redo the brush tool so we did the do tool now I want to redo
it so we're gonna hit shift control Zi so shift control Zi that's gonna bring back the number one and
then if I had it again then we'll get the DOT I'll get the number two and I'll get the DOT I'll get
the number three and I get the dot every time I hit every time I hold control shift and then hit Zi
it brings everything back so if I wanted to undo that I would have control Zi I'd hold control and then
had Zi and that would undo it but if I hit shift and hold the control button and then do the then I
get it back.
OK.
So really all you're doing is to undo it.
You're going to have control Zi to redo it you're going to have control shift Z.
OK.
So you just gonna add shift to that.
So that's a majority of these tools right here.
The cut copy paste Sorry Cut Copy copy merged paste paste special are self explanatory but I'm going
to show you anyway real quick if I make a new layer here and I grab the brush tool where you brush tool
go I'm going to do one and then a dot and then I'll do control shift and which creates a new layer we
haven't talked about this yet but that's just a shortcut and then two and then the dot.
OK so now if I control a you see how this marquee tools all the way around it's the selection tool and
it's selecting the whole canvas.
Right but really all it's doing is selecting this layer.
So if I had control C or to edit copy and then do edit cut or here control Z to undo that and then had
control X then what I'm doing is I can create a new layer control shift n layer 3 and I'm going to have
control Z and I'll V I think of as there we go control V that that paste.
So essentially what we did is we cut copied and pasted control X so control C to copy control X to cut
and control V to paste.
OK.
And then if you want to do a piece special piece of the format and paste in place paste into paste outside
so we could do paste in place.
There you go.
We got another one.
Let's do one more and it's right on top of the other one.
So now we have a couple twos and I got five layers and the background so search you can search for stock
content learn content Photoshop content.
Check spelling.
We don't have any errors googling numbers find or replace text I don't have any text to replace.
But if you need that too it's a great tool film.
OK so it's not.
There we go.
So what I do is I unlock this layer.
So you're going to see right here there's a little lock on your layer here.
If you just double click it it'll unlock it and then open up the filter but you can do that or you can
just click here to I really like shortcuts so but then it does stuff that I don't want to do.
So either way is fine but we're gonna select the layer zero here and what I want to do is go to Phil
and what it's doing is this is the foreground so this black palette here is the foreground swatch I'm
gonna call the swatch the foreground swatches right here in the background is white so there's there's
the background there's the foreground.
So this is one way you can do it where you go there and then you can select to fill
the stroke.
You can set in here if you want but I recommend using the filter over here because a lot more options.
And if you want to change the background in the foreground so there's the foreground if you want to
change that just double click this.
And then go in your color picker and grab whatever color you want and cancel like.
And then if you want to go to the background just double click the white and then do the same thing
change the color to whatever background you want.
And it's super simple.
And if you want to switch them you just click this little button here and then switch back and forth
or you can at X.
That's why I like to use X is really fast.
So you just said X and then I'll go back and forth and then you can change the color whatever you want.
We'll get into that later but right now so that's the film the stroke content aware where fill that's
not active right now so we're not going to talk about that too much content aware scale puppet wrap
perspective warp free transform.
Okay.
This is when I use a lot.
So what this does.
This selects the layer you're on and then you can resize this.
Now they change this because it used to be I had to hold shift and do this now it's the opposite.
You don't have to hold shift.
You just drag and it automatically will adjust the aspect ratio for you and keep it even.
So it's a nice tool but they just make changes on me so I have to get adjusted transform so you can
do scale skew a rotate skew to start perspective warp rotation one 180 degrees rotate 90 90 degrees
clockwise and then rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise.
OK then we have flip horizontal flip vertical so I can flip that vertical because that's just that content.
Now if I went to this one and did the same thing we're going to transform and we skew then you can see
that's a skill guy.
And if I go to layer two which I need change the label and we'll do that later we can rotate clockwise
says I'm empty.
Why OK let's do this one then we can do rotate clockwise.
There you go.
So those are some of the effects that you can do in the transform area purge.
You can do clipboard histories all video cache Adobe PDA f presets precept manager migrate presets export
import.
Remote connections color settings assign a profile or assign profile convert to profile.
Keyboard Shortcuts menu menus toolbar and preferences.
So this is what I care about the mouse keyboard shortcuts on menus awesome.
You don't have to learn all these right now but I'm telling you this is gonna make your life so easy
once you get the hang of it.
And trust me.
It takes a little time but I've been using this off for a long time and I live by the shortcuts and
when they do an update and I don't and they change my shortcuts I just change them back that way I can
keep working the way that I've been working for 15 years know.
All right so I'll cancel that.
Let's look at the preferences real quick.
I'm not going to go over a lot of this other stuff because we're gonna be going through all the menus.
I don't want to change anything but basically this gives you the option to go through here and you can
change the shortcuts and you know restore things and set defaults and load resets and all that.
I don't want to do that.
I want to leave it just the way it is so that I can show you how to use it.
So let's do preferences and we'll just go to general and that covers everything.
So in general you can set the color picker the HUD color picker the image interpretation so by cubic
automatic
interface to the color theme would go darker if you want.
Which makes it easier on your eyes.
Its occupant of that workspace.
You can set whatever options you want here.
Tools you can short tool tips.
Use a rich tool tips etc. History log you can look at your history log and see what you got file handling
always save file extension use lowercase export click export format PMG you can set this to SPG gif
J pan-European G if you're doing web I recommend doing PMG because that's either PMG or as Fiji for
web if you're doing graphic design JPEG.
Depending on where it's going you know.
But the default is Pinky so you can change that there if you want.
Or you can trade somewhere else performance let Photoshop use 70 percent of my RAM that's fine.
Scratch desk this is just where everything saved and start up.
So I have two hundred fifty four gigs of free space there and a terabyte and a half here cursors you
can change the cursors standard precise you know whatever you want to deal with that transparency set
in.
I'd leave all this as it is unit units and rulers.
I haven't even shown you the real tool but I'll do that next guides.
Grid grid and slices.
I live at the way it is.
Plug ins you can get plug ins type options so use smart quotes you never miss glyph protections your
font names and English use escape here to commit text etc..
3 the same deal when he is 1 percent ram to do 3D rendering.
I recommend doing that.
Just make sure you have a lot of RAM so you can handle this if you're doing that.
Technology previews.
That's roll yet so I'll close that out.
Let me show you the ruler real quick.
We're going to control R and that's the ruler so you can see here that it's in.
If I right click on it we're in pixels you can go inches centimeters Mm points
because I don't know what that is.
Percent The one I work in all the time is pixels.
That's all I do.
So
I have done inches as well but I try to just keep it in pixels keep it simple.
I see in pixels.
I'm just saying.
Okay so that's the added menu.
So thank you for joining me in this video.
I'll see in the next video ticker.
