Welcome to Section three, and we're we're going to talk about tools.
So the first thing I want to do is I want to go into the.
Project files here.
We're gonna download my lovely picture.
So if you go to the move tool video, which is number four under Section three, click on resources
and click on profile picture dot jpeg and download that and let's save it.
And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to open this.
And I'll bring over my downloads folder here and I'll right click and we'll open this with Photoshop.
And what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab the picture itself.
Let's make sure I got the right one here.
See?
OK.
Right there.
So I'm going to right click and I'm going to copy this and put this on the desktop, minimize the four
second, minimize that and I'll right.
Click and paste it right on the desktop.
So that way I have the file if we need to use it.
Now, the whole purpose of this image here is so when we go through the tools, we can actually have
something to work with.
So you get to look at my lovely face the entire course and you can Photoshop me any way you want.
If you want to change the color of my beard, if you want to change my skin tone, the color, my shirt,
the color, the background, if you want to make me bald from my spiky hair, whatever you want to do.
This is the perfect image for you to do that because it's got a white background, which makes it really
easy to edit and delete the background and requires very little photo editing or Photoshop in.
And it'll just be fun.
OK.
So that's that's the whole point of this course is I want to make sure that you understand that I want
you to have fun with this.
I know it's stress and I want you to freak out.
I want you to have fun with it.
And I want you to send me some of the stuff that you do.
So send me some stuff on you to me and say, hey, I Photoshop you and I cut your hair off or I gave
you spikes or I turned to purple or whatever.
Whatever you want to do is cool, man.
I'm I'm cool with that.
So there you go.
So the first thing we're gonna do is we're going to talk about the move tool.
Now, when we talk about these tools, we're not just going to talk about the first tool.
I'm actually going to cover every single tool in this panel here.
So the move tool has two tools in it.
So it has the move tool and our board tool.
But the reason why I categorize that as whatever the main tool was, is that way.
Instead of making four lectures, we make one lecture and talk about all four tools.
And it relates because it's in the same area.
So I will be using keyboard shortcuts once in a while, but you will see a keyboard shortcut appear
down here, which will show you and I will always state when I'm doing.
So that way, you know, and understand.
OK.
He's doing a keyboard shortcut.
I'm going to try to keep it to a minimum.
But I'm got to tell you, the more that you can learn about keyboard shortcuts, the easier Photoshop
is going to be.
Now, I understand that if you're just starting out, that that's a lot to take on.
And I don't want you to stress about it.
I'm what I'm saying is take the course first and then after you take the course, then learn the keyboard
shortcuts, learn the techniques first, learn the fundamentals, and then come back and learn the keyboard
shortcuts.
OK.
So the first tool we're going to talk about is the move tool.
So there's a couple of things you need to know about layers and Photoshop.
This picture right here is the only layer in this document.
So right now, it's not even a Photoshop document.
We're actually it's it's a jpeg.
So if I were to.
Save this as a BSD file.
We could do that to file save as.
And let's save it on a computer.
You can also save it to the car.
But I must say, pretty computer.
And what I want to do is go to desktop and we're going to save this as a Photoshop document because
I had save.
Now, what you're going to notice is whether it's a JPEG, a PMG, a BSD, any file format.
When you bring it in, if you only have one layer, what it's going to do is it's going to automatically
lock it.
That's the default for Photoshop.
Twenty twenty.
And it's been that way for as long as I've been using Photoshop and I've been using it a lot longer
than Photoshop 20/20.
I'm just gonna date myself and tell you that I've been using this program since 2004 and I absolutely
love it.
So I hope that you kindle that same kind of love once we're done with this course.
And if you have any questions, let me know.
Okay.
I'm happy to help you anyway.
So what we're gonna do is we're going to unlock this layer.
So there's a couple ways to do that.
One way you can do it.
Is it's not showing my text here.
But when you hover over this, it's showing him my other screen.
But I'll tell you what it says indicates layer's per particularly locked.
Now, if I double click, it unlocks the layer and then opens up the layer style, which we don't want
to mess with right now.
So that's the first thing.
So always remember, when you open up a Photoshop document for the first time, if you bring a photo
in, you're gonna have a layer locked.
Guys, I'll show you one more example, then we'll talk about the move tool.
If I open up Web large and we turn off our boards because I only want one document you can see right
here, background and it's locked.
OK, so that's just to the fault in Photoshop 20/20.
And just in Photoshop in general.
OK.
So I'm going to save this one here, OK?
And now what we're going to talk about is the move tool.
So with the move tool, it does exactly what it says it does.
You can move around your object.
OK.
So if you want to move me around, we can go left or right.
You can move me wherever you want to.
And, you know, you can get really creative here and you can, you know, cut my neck off and kind
of move me up.
And, you know, do random stuff with me and, you know, really get creative, you know.
So if you want to do that, that's cool.
But basically, that's all the toys.
All you're doing is you're just moving the object around.
OK.
And one way to do it is up here, they have a automatically select group or layer by clicking on the
visible pixel.
So what I want you to do.
Is I want you to make sure that when you do this, that you have to select the layers, someone make
another layer.
So let's click on the plus sign here.
So when I make another layer and let's do this, let's select layer one and delete it.
Then what we do is on one right click and I'm going to duplicate layer zero.
So it'll be layer zero.
Copy.
So.
OK.
And now when I move this around.
In a work.
OK, good.
Then work.
That's good.
So what I want you to get used to there is there is an option where you can turn on layers, select
where when you click on an image, it will grab that item and then you can move that.
But what I want you to do to get started.
I want you to select the layer over here.
And the reason why you want to do that is when you have 100 layers and you're selecting this and then
selecting that and selecting this and that.
It messes up your flow totally.
So that's what I'm gonna tell you.
So I'm going to delete layer zero copy.
And that is the move tool.
OK.
So what I'm gonna do is we're gonna save this document.
I'm going to leave this page open.
And now what we're gonna do is we're going to talk about the our board tool.
OK.
So what we need to do is create another document.
So we're gonna do file.
And we're gonna do new.
And I want to select web large.
And you can see over here.
There is an option for our boards.
Now you're Bronwyn.
Okay.
What's on our board?
What do I need it?
OK.
So on our board is this.
This is on our board right here.
OK.
And if I go and I right.
Click on the move tool and I go to the board tool and I highlight this.
I just highlight the whole thing then.
Now I have plus signs on all four sides.
And what that gives me the ability to do if I'm building a Web site, if I'm designing a Web site and
I want to have multiple pages on one document, instead of having let's say you're building a 20 page
Web site.
Right.
And you want to build the layout and the content all in the same document instead of building 20 documents.
Because I'm going to tell you, it's it gets a little annoying when you're building a big project and
you've got to go through 15 different files to do the same thing where you could just do it in one document.
So if I click on this plus sign here, it's going to create our boards.
So let's build a 10 page design.
Right.
Let's just frame out a 10 page design.
So what that would include here is we have one.
So we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and 10.
And what that did was.
I create a 10 hour boards so that we can move.
And see it, it actually brought one over.
So if I move that down now, I have 10 pages.
Because before I only had nine.
OK.
And what it does is it will equally divide it up.
So when you add a new our board, the spacing between the two will be the same.
Right.
So what it does is it gives you the ability if you wanted to build a 10 page site.
And then you wanted to have some pages for each one.
What you could do is use the board tool.
And that works on them.
OK.
If I had the plus sign.
OK.
Now I can go down.
OK.
Then if I go here.
OK, I can do the same thing.
I can go down.
So that's my drop down menu for page one and then page two has got this many.
And page three doesn't have any.
And page four has to write.
Then I can lay this out.
Now, what does this have to do with photo editing?
It doesn't have anything to do with it.
But remember, we're doing tools.
So it has a lot to do with tools.
Because I want you to understand each tool before we even get into photo editing.
Because if you don't understand the tools, it's going to be hard when I'm saying, oh, let's use the
lasso tour.
Let's see is the move tool or let's use the marquee tool or the you know, the.
This one, the magnetic glassell tool, etc..
So the idea behind this is this makes it easy to layout web designs, app designs.
You could do storyboards with us for video.
You could do a lot of different things with us.
So this is a great tool and it's one that they just started adding recently.
Before this only time I'd seen our boards was an illustrator.
I'd never seen it in Photoshop, but they started to implement it in as they went, as they kept going.
So that is the airport tool.
All right.
So what I'm going to do.
We're going to close this document out.
We're not going to save it.
We're going to keep this picture of my lovely face up.
And in the next video, we're going to talk about this.
These tools right here.
The rectangular mark t tool, the elliptical Marki tool, the single Romar Key Tool and the single column
Mercè Tool.
And let's see what kind of mischief we can get into with Photoshop in my lovely face here.
And I'm excited to see what you're going to be doing to me.
Like, what shirt am I going to be wearing, what kind of hat you're going to add?
All that stuff will be a lot of fun.
And like I said, have fun with this.
I know that this is kind of the.
Less exciting part of the course.
But again, this is a crucial part and understanding photo editing.
So the more you understand about the tools, the easier the photo editing will be and the more fun you're
going to have with that.
OK.
So thanks for watching.
I'll see in the next video.
