Most tutorial books out there at the moment
are aimed at professionals or complete
beginners. What I aim to do with my book is to
cater to as many people of as many dierent
levels and abilies as possible, because I think
the magic of Photoshop should be available to
anyone willing to learn it.
Authors Notes
For my family, for always being there and for
pung up with my Photoshop rants.

When prinng in CMYK, tones of colour are
represented by individual dots, this eect
is called Half-tone. Each colour prints at
a dierent angle, if the dots all printed on
top of each other the print would look very
speckly and would have big gaps. This way
the dots are evenly spread around the image.
If you want to see half-tone dots yourself
simply look closely at a newspaper.
Newspapers are printed with a low dpi whichmeans the print is of a low quality and you
can see the individual dots with the naked
eye.
Colour
There are two main types of colour mixing i
Photoshop; RGB and CMYK.
RGBstands for Red, Green and Blue
CMYKstands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow
and Key (which means Black).
CMYK is used for prinng colours.
Combining cyan, yellow, magenta and black
gives us the vast majority of colours we nee
for example yellow and cyan give us green.
We can use less of yellow and cyan to get a
lighter green and add black to get a darker
green.

What happens if you want a specic colour?
To get over this problem the PANTONE
MATCHING SYSTEM was developed.
The PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM is
made up of three parts; a computer library of
colours, special inks and colour swatch books.

RGB is used for showing colours on screen.
Screens are made up of pixels and each pixel
has a red, green and blue light. If we wanted
a yellow colour the green and red light would
be on and the red light would be o.
Dierent devices and printers have dierent
colour ranges. These ranges can be represented
on a Gamut. A Gamut chart represents the
colours we can see with the human eye.As you can see with these charts, not all the
colours produced in a CMYK document will print
on an Ink-jet Printer or a Prinng Press.
The process from choosing a colour to geng
that colour printed goes like this:
A Pantone Colour is selected from a swatch
book.
That colour is applied to a digital document.
The document is sent to print.
Special inks are mixed to achieve the
Pantone colour.
The document is printed through the press.

Saving
Save and Save As can be found in File

When you have nished with an image you
need to save it. When saving your image
for the rst me go to File > Save and a
navigaon box will appear for you to select
the folder in which you want to save your
image.
Photoshop gives you the opon to save in
several le formats, but the only ones you are
likely to use are Photoshop (.PSD), JPEG and
PNG.
If you are working on a layered document and
want to save all of the layers to work on later,
save your image as a Photoshop format.
If you have nished eding an image and
want to email it to someone save it as a JPEG.
Aer clicking Save Photoshop will show
you a slider which gives you the opon tocompress your image to a size that your email
programme will be able to send quickly.
If you have nished eding and want to save
the image for home prinng, or viewing in
high-quality on screen, choose to save your
image as a PNG. PNGs are a higher quality
than JPEGs and will preserve a lot more detail.
If you have nished eding your image and
need a very high quality image for large sizes
like those used for professional prinng or
projecng, use TIFF. A TIFF le will preserve
all of the detail of your image. However it will
have a very large le size so is unsuitable for
emailing and is not any more detailed than
PNG when working on images at A4 size.

One of the key features of Photoshop is the use of
Layers. Layers are a way of working on mulple parts
of an image while being able to put them on top or
behind each other.
On the right is an example of a layered document
with 3 layers.
You can add a New Layer by going to Layer >
New > Layer. When starng with an image it will
automacally be a locked Background layer. If you
want to move the Background layer above another
layer you need to right-click it select Layer from

your photo, whether youre aer a clear blue sky or a stormy,
dramac backdrop.
1File > Open > Click Pantheon > Open.

Right-click Background > Layer from
Background > Name the layer Pantheon
> OK.
As you can see with this image the main
subject is dramac and interesng but the
sky is dull. The image would look more
dramac overall with a cloudier sky.
Time: 5 minutes
3Click the Pantheon layer. Go to File >
Place > Click Sky > Right-Click > Place.
Placing an image is the easiest way of
adding a second image to your current
Photoshop document. Photoshop will
automacally resize your image to t the
canvas you are working on, meaning you
wont have to spend me shrinking your big
photos down.
You can nd the layers in the Layer panel
at the right-hand side. Layers are how we
place images on top or behind each other.
Turning the Background into a layer will
mean that we can move it. Photoshop
will automacally give each new layer a
number, naming the layers as you create
them makes it easier to keep track of which
layer is which.
8/13/2019 Tutorial Book Sample

Click on the sky. Hold down Shi and then
click on any of the sky that is unselected.
Drag the Sky layer under the Pantheon
layer.
Click on the Pantheon layer. Select the
Magic Wand Tool.
The layers palee can be found at the
right-hand side of Photoshop.
The Pantheon layer needs to be on top
of Sky so that when the sky in Pantheon
is deleted the image from Sky will show
through.
Change the Tolerance to 60.
Making the tolerance higher will mean that
the Magic Wand Tool will select an area
of more similar colours. If we lowered the
Tolerance to 0 the Magic Wand Tool would
only select an area of exactly the same
colour. If we put the Tolerance right up to
100 the Magic Wand Tool would select
every colour.
The Magic Wand Tool automacally selects
a similar area of colour to where you click.
You can nd it in the le-hand toolbar.If there is an icon of brush and a circle
there instead just click and hold that icon,
it should bring up the selecon of Quick
Selecon Tool or Magic Wand Tool, click
Magic Wand Tool.

When using any of the selecon tools,
holding down Shi will add onto anything
selected. Holding down Alt will remove
anything from the selecon.

Click Rene Edge. Change Smooth to 10.
Click OK.
Press Delete. Go to Select > Deselect.
Changing the smoothness will make the
edges of the selecon less bumpy. This will
make the images look more seamless.
Select the Sky layer. Go to Edit > Free
Transform.
Free Transform lets you change the
dimensions of whatever is selected.
Holding down Shi while dragging a
corner of a selecon will make sure that
the height and width of the image will stay
proporonately the same however small
or large the image is scaled to (this is called
the aspect rao).
Here you can see all the unwanted sky has
been deleted and the new sky is showing
through, but there are some unwanted
buildings showing through so we are goingto ip the image.
We need to deselect the selecon before
ipping the image otherwise Photoshop will
try and ip the space we just deleted.

Change the Width from 100% to -100%

Changing the width to -100% will ip the
image from right to le. Before the image
had some buildings showing through from
the Sky image, but when ipped they are
all hidden behind the Pantheon image and
only the sky shows through.

Ever wanted to see what your hair would look like blonde? Or
what that t-shirt looked like in blue on you? Or wondered if
those owers would look beer in orange? Well Im going to
show you how to make that all possible.
1File > Open > Click Flower > Open.

Select > Colour Range.
Here we have a photo of purple owers. By
the end of the tutorial we will have turned
the owers from purple into orange.
Time: 15 minutes
3From the drop-down list select Magentas
> OK.
As purple is nearest to Magenta we choose
Magentas. By doing this we are telling
Photoshop that we only want Magenta
colours selected.
As we are only going to be changing
the purple secon of this image we are
selecng a colour range.
Tip: If you want to change a colour that isnt on the
can sample it by choosing Sampled Colors and c
the colour on the canvas with the Eyedropper Tool.
8/13/2019 Tutorial Book Sample

Select the Brush Tool, right-click anywhere
on the canvas and change the Size to 400
px and the Hardness to 100%.
Select > Rene Edges.
Change Feather to 2.0, Contrast to 50
and Shi Edge to +45.
As you can see our selecon of Magentas
doesnt cover the whole of the owers. To
do this we need to Rene our selecons
edges.
Layer > New > Layer > Name the layer
Colour > OK.
Now we have a our selecon we need to
add a new layer so that we can add our
new colour on top.
Increasing Feather means that the edges of
the selecon look soer, which helps make
the new colour look more natural.Increasing Contrast will make the
selecon more opaque. If we added a
colour on top without doing this, some of
the purple would show through.
Increasing Shi Edge means our
selecon has increased. 45% covers all of
the owers.

We are colouring in a selecon we need
to change the brush to a large brush so
that it will take less me. By increasing the
Hardness our brush will have a sharper
edge. This will make it easier to see if there
are any gaps in the colour.
Tip: If you want to paint a detailed area
use a small brush with a low hardness
and opacity.
8/13/2019 Tutorial Book Sample

Click the foreground colour palee.
Change the colour to #f99c34 > OK.
The foreground palee can be found on
the boom le-hand side of Photoshop, at
the boom of the toolbox. The foreground
colour is the upper most box. When using
the Brush Tool or the Paint Bucket Tool the
colour in this box is what will be used to
paint.
Click and hold and Brush over all of the
selecon once. Go to Select > Deselect.
To use the Brush Tool click and hold the le
mouse buon and drag the cursor around
the canvas. The brush will ll our selecon
with the orange colour we chose and leave
the rest of the canvas blank.
In the colour palee you can select a
colour in several ways. The box with # in
front of it is where colour codes known as
hex codes can be added. Hex codes arecodes that correspond to colours. In this
case #f99c34 is a light orange.
When selecng colours yourself it is
easiest to use the Hue and Saturaon
boxes. These are the colourful boxes at the
le of the colour palee.

Enter the Quick Mask Mode.
Quick Mask Mode can be found at the
boom-le of Photoshop at the boom of
the toolbox.
Quick Mask Mode lets you make a
selecon using the Brush Tool.

Change the Radius to 5.0 > OK > Select >
Deselect.
Select the Brush Tool, right-click anywhere
on the canvas and change the Size to 30
px and the Hardness to 100%.
Click and hold and Brush Tool to paint
over the edges shown here. Exit Quick
Mask Mode. Go to Select > Inverse.
We need a brush of 30 px and a Hardness
of 100% so that we can see where we are
brushing and so that we denitely get the
edges in our selecon.
Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.
To remedy the sharp edges we are going
to add a Gaussian Blur. There are several
methods of blurring in Photoshop but
Gaussian Blur is the easiest to control and
has the most realisc blur eect.
You can exit Quick Mask Mode by clicking
the Quick Mask Mode buon again.Weve selected these areas because
these areas are where the owers are
further away, in the background. If we
le the selecon as it is the orange edges
would look too sharp and wouldnt match
up with the edges of the ower in the
photo.
12
13
14
15
Giving the Gaussian Blur a radius of 5.0
means that for a distance of 5 px around
the edges of the image in the selecon a
blur will be added. If we increased this to
something larger there would be a more
blur because we are telling Photoshop to
blur more of the pixels.
Tip: If you go into Quick Mask Mode and
use the Gradient Tool you can make a
gradient selecon.

Blending modes are dierent ways
of adding layers to each other. By using
Linear Light the highlights and shadows
from the purple owers come through

Remove Objects
Lined up that perfect shot and then someones walked into the
middle of it? Taken a photo of a beauful sunrise but that tree
is ruining the shot? Here are some ps and tricks for removing
unwanted objects.
1File > Open > Click Ducks > Open.

Select the Spot Healing Brush Tool.
In this photo we have 4 perfectly aligned
ducks, but a h has wandered into the
shot too and is ruining it. There are also
people walking in the background andducks in the water which I will show you
how to get rid of.
Time: 15 minutes
3Right-click anywhere on the canvas and
change the Size to 80 px and the Hardness
to 100%.
As we are going to be removing the stray
duck from the photo we need a relavely
big brush so that it doesnt take ages to
brush over. A Hardness of 100% will help
us to see any gaps in the brush strokes.
The Spot Healing Tool can be found in the
le-hand side of Photoshop, in the toolbox.
It is underneath the Eyedropper Tool and
above the Brush Tool.

head.
Brush over the head and legs.
When removing large objects it is
somemes easiest to remove them in
secons. Here the head make a convenient
rst secon.
Brush over any remaining duck.
There will probably be some areas le over
that have not turned into gravel like the
rest, just keep brushing over any remaining
parts unl they disappear.
Next we can remove the rest of the duck.
You can brush over the main body and
then the legs if you nd it easier.

Hold down Alt and click on an area of
darker gravel by the third duck, then
release Alt and click on the lighter gravel
to copy that area.
Go to Layer > New > Layer.
Some of the gavel is darker, use the Clone
Stamp Tool to make the gravel look more
uniform. Holding down Alt and clicking
tells Photoshop that you want to use that
part of the photo as the source. Clicking
normally will copy an area from that
source.
Name the Layer Bush > OK. Click on the
Background Layer.
Naming the layer will help us keep track of
what is on each layer.
We are adding a new layer so that when
we Clone some of the bush over the
walkers we can erase bits that go over any
of the ducks we want to keep. If we didthis without adding a new layer it would
be dicult to get those parts of the duck
back.

Hold down Alt and click on an area of
green bush on the top right, then release
Alt. Select the Bush Layer and click on
the furthest right walker to copy that
area.
Here we are telling Photoshop to source
the brush from the Background Layer and
to copy it to the areas we brush in the
Bush Layer.

Tip: You can also get to a New Layer by pressing
Cmd, Shi, N.
8/13/2019 Tutorial Book Sample

Erase the edges of the new bush area so
that it blends in with the rest.
Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool
Go to Edit > Copy and then Edit > Paste.
Move the bush over the legs of the
walkers > Press Enter.
The Polygonal Lasso Tool can be found
in the toolbox on the le-hand side of
Photoshop, underneath the Marquee
Tools and above the Quick Selecon/Magic
Wand Tool.
Select the Eraser Tool, right-click
anywhere on the canvas and change the
Size to 40 px and the Hardness to 0%.
As we are going to be erasing the edges
of the bush we need medium sized brush
with so edges .
When copying large secons of a
background it is easier to copy a largepart of it with a Lasso or a Marquee Tool
rather than using the more complicated
Clone Tool. However for close-up, detailed
copying, the Clone Tool is beer.

The so edges of the brush have meant
that now our bushes blend together

Select the Bush Layer. Change the Layers
Opacity to 50%.
Select the Eraser Tool. Right-click
anywhere on the canvas and change the
Size to 20 px.
As you can see, some of the bush has come
over the top of the ducks head. Lowering
the opacity of the Bush Layer enables us
to see where the ducks head is.
Click and hold to erase the parts of the of
the bush covering the ducks head.
Here we have removed the secon of the
bush obscuring the ducks head whilst sll
covering up the walkers feet.
We only need a small brush for this as we
dont want a lot of bush being removed.We also want the edges of the erased
secons so be smooth so we need a
Hardness of 0%.
16
17
18
Right-click the Bush layer and select
Merge Down.
We dont need to work on the Bush layer
by itself any more so we can merge it into
the Background layer.

If you are working on an image with lots of layers
you can hide some by clicking the eye icon.
8/13/2019 Tutorial Book Sample

Go to Edit > Copy then Select > Deselect
then Edit > Paste.
Select the Clone Stamp Tool. Right-click
anywhere on the canvas change the size
to 40 px.
Use the Clone Stamp Tool to copy the
wooden rail and bush into areas where
there are sll bits of the walkers le.
Now that we have a lot more source area
to work with we can use the Clone Stamp
Tool to remove the rest of the walkers.
Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and select
a part of the wire fencing below the duck
you want to get rid of.
This will be the part of fencing youll use
to cover up one of the ducks in the water.
Selecng a secon where the colour is the
closest to the areas around the duck will
help the selecon blend in.
Remember, to source an area to copy hold
down Alt and then click, then just clickto copy that area. When cloning make
sure parts like the wooden rail line up,
otherwise that secon will look unrealisc.
20
21

This has now placed a copy of the selecon
onto a new layer on the canvas.
8/13/2019 Tutorial Book Sample
41/57
Select the Move Tool and click, hold and
move the cursor to drag the selecon over
the duck.
Go to Edit > Transform > Warp.
We need to move the layer on top of the
duck so that the duck is hidden.
Click, hold and drag the cursor to pull the
corners and centre of the selecon to
align the wire meshing.
Pulling dierent parts of the Warp grid
will warp those parts of the layer. For
example if you pull the top right of the
layer outwards it will stretch the layer
outwards in that direcon too.
Because the edges of the layer and the
original wire fencing dont match up we
are going to use Warp to align them.
24
25
26
Repeat steps 2226 for the other oang
Duck.
Using steps 2226 will ensure that both
ducks are covered.

8/13/2019 Tutorial Book Sample
42/57
Select the Brush Tool. Right-click
anywhere on the canvas and change the
Size to 80 px and the Hardness to 0%.
Select the Eraser Tool and erase the edges
of the fencing on top of the ducks.
Right-click any layer in the Layers panel.
Select Flaen Image.
Make sure you have the correct layer
selected when erasing; if you are erasing
from the rst selecon you used make
sure Layer 1 is selected, and Layer 2 for the
second selecon.
Enter the Quick Mask Mode.
Rather than selecng with a hard edges
tool like the Polygonal Lasso Tool, we want
a so selecon. Quick Mask Mode is great
for this.
We want to work on the image as a whole
now rather than individually, so we can
aen the layers together into one.
28

We need a big brush as the patches of dark
are quite big. We also want so edges so
our Hardness needs to be at 0%.
Tip: If you are working on a transparent
image, clicking Flaen Image will give
your image a white background.

Photoshop has two ways of brightening
and darkening; it can brighten/darken each
pixel (An older method), or only brighten
highlights/darken shadows (A newer
method). The older method of brightening
and darkening is turned on when Use
Legacy is cked. For this parcular
selecon Use Legacy looked more natural.
As we have copied two large background
areas there are going to be odd looking
repeats of highlights and shadows in theimage. These repeats can be removed with
