Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
This video is for those of you who are using Photoshop CC.
I'm going to show you a couple of great new tools
that Adobe added in the Camera Raw filter. Before we begin,
convert your photo for Smart Filters. This will make any changes to the photo
non-destructive. If you see this message,
click OK or press Enter or Return.
Then, go back to Filter and click, "Camera Raw Filter".
Click the Lens Correction icon
and under the Manual tab,
we'll see the "Upright" feature. You'll see five icons
under "Upright". The first one is to disable Upright.
So, if you decide you want to start over
click this icon.
The big "A" is "automatic" .
This will automatically try to correct its perspective
using a balanced set perspective corrections.
I'll click Disable. The Level correction mode
insures that the image is level. The vertical mode
applies Level and Vertical perspective corrections.
However, as you can see in this photo, it's not always that accurate.
The Full mode
applies Level, Vertical and Horizontal perspective corrections.
You can also manually adjust the perspective. The sides look a little bowed out,
so I'll go into "Distortion" to correct it. If you slide it to the left,
It bows it out making the image convex. Sliding it's the right,
makes a concave. For this image, I'll slide it to +15.
Sliding the Vertical to the left or right,
adjusts its vertical perspective, while
the Horizontal mode adjusts its horizontal perspective. "Rotate" rotates
the image
on its center axis point. The Scale
reduces or enlarges it and "Aspect"
stretches or squeezes it. Once you're happy with your image,
click OK. To get rid of the empty areas,
you could use Content Aware Fill or crop them out.
For this example, I'll crop the image.
First, click the New Layer icon to make a new layer.
Then, make a composite snapshot of your image
by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E on Windows
or Cmd + Shift + Option + E on a Mac
Open your Rectangular Marquee Tool
and drag a rectangular selection across your
image cropping out empty areas. Go to
Image and Crop. To deselect it,
press Ctrl or Cmd + D. If you have a photo that has a lot of contrast,
and want to brighten just a few specific areas of it,
convert it for Smart Filters, open the Camera Raw Filter
and click the Radial filter. This will open the panel on the right.
This filter allows you to make a lot of individual adjustments to specific areas
of your image. Notice in this example,
the Exposure is + 1.60
and the Contrast is +15. If I drag the filter
over a dark area, it immediately brightens to that exposure and contrast.
You can adjust the filter's shape, simply by dragging points
in or out. You can also drag the filter to any location
on your image. If you want to increase or decrease its brightness,
simply drag the Exposure to the right of left.
You can also adjust multiple areas of your image
and even overlap
areas you already adjusted.
As a toggle back and forth, you can see the power
of the Radial Filter. The last new feature in Photoshop CC's Camera Raw Filter
is the updated, Spot Removal Tool.
Now, for the first time, you can remove long,
irregular shapes more precisely than in earlier versions.
I generally leave it on the "Heal" mode, because it blends in color and tone from
the surrounding area.
You can adjust the tool's Size, Feather Radius
and Opacity using the sliders. You can also adjust the size
by pressing the left or right bracket keys on your keyboard.
The black circle outline is the size of the tool
and a blue and white, dashed circle is the feathering.
When you draw over the object you want to remove, it creates two shapes.
The red and white, dashed outline is the target, which is the area
you're healing and the green and white, dashed outline is the source,
which is the area it's healing from. If you don't like the source
area drag it to other areas on your image until you're happy with the result.
To remove other parts of your image, repeat the same steps.
When you're done, click OK.
