Hey what's up you guys and welcome back to Gal so on this video we're jumping
into Photoshop and I'm showing you how easy it is to remove the background from
your subjects and even around the wispy hairs because that part can get kind of
tricky so I'll first show you how to do that and then I'll show you how easy it
is to Photoshop glasses on your subject like different pairs of glasses to fit
whatever seam you need and to make it look more realistic and the glasses I'll
be using are from Movement and more on movement later without further ado let's
go ahead and jump on in so here is the original photo inside a Photoshop you
can see as we zoom in that the background is kind of in this cottage
cheese style and I want to remove it and actually replace it with a brick
background so to do that let's go ahead and fit to screen up here at the top and
over in layers let's go ahead and duplicate the original just by dragging
it down into this plus icon and this will make a copy and we can rename this
let's call it background remove because this is where we're going to remove the
background and we can turn off the visibility of the original and then
we're gonna make another layer let's click the plus icon and let's call this
the color reveal because this is going to be actually a solid color let's
choose this and solid color and let's go ahead and make this a red color and then
let's move it beneath the background remove so then when we start to remove
the background we'll see the red and it'll make it easier to see if we're
missing any of the white that we're removing from the background so we're
going to start with the hair because that's the most difficult part and then
we will remove part of the blouse and the rest of the background so let's go
ahead and zoom in here on this hair and what we're going to use is what is
called the background eraser tool so just click and hold if you do not see
that and select background eraser tool and up here you can adjust the size of
the brush I'm liking it at 254 and you can adjust the hardness as well and from
here you're just going to make sure it's sampling once sampling this background
once and you want to make sure the limits are discontinuous the tolerance
is going to change depending on the photo so I will explain more about that
once we get there for testing you also want to protect the foreground layer
which is the color of the hair now there's a lot of different colors here
but around the edges is a little bit lighter so after you check this so if it
was unchecked be sure to check it and then go down to the color picker and
here you can just choose a color so you can click until you hit the right color
that you want so let's say around this color and hit OK so after you select the
color go up to tolerance and we will start with the lowest tolerance let's
start with around 10% and as we click you want to click and hold and then move
over the hair now here you can see there's a ton of white still it's not
removing it perfectly so the tolerance is too low we need to increase that so
let's command Z (ctrl Z) and let's try 25% let's see how that looks
all right it's looking a little bit better but you can still see some white
around the edges if we zoom in you can see it's too much white around the hair
so what we need to do is command Z to undo that or ctrl Z on a PC and let's
increase the tolerance even more let's try around 56% and then let's zoom in
and click and then here it's looking a lot better now it's not going to be
exactly perfect and that's ok but it's looking a lot better so I'm just going
to quickly go around remember be sure to click and hold and if you accidentally
click here and start it's not going to work you have to click on the background
layer and then go okay so I'm going to quickly go around and do this around her
whole head and then we'll move into the blouse
and down here we can zoom in and if you control click you can reduce the size to
be much smaller for precision we can go in and just gently go around the color
here like so and we can smooth this area out with the regular eraser tool let's
go over to the eraser tool now and let's just smooth that out to make this a
little bit smaller all right and now I'm just going to zoom out and use the
eraser tool to go around the blouse we don't need to use the background eraser
tool in this case because the blouse does not have such a jagged area as the
hair it's just a smooth area so I'm going to ctrl click and I'm going to
increase the size again that's about good and I'll quickly just do an outline
so now this whole area that's red is actually transparent if I turn off the
red here you can see it's just a transparent background the grid means
transparency and as we zoom in it looks pretty good the shape of the hair looks
like it's still intact and all we need to do now is delete the rest of the
background well we're not going to use the eraser tool we could it'll just take
a little bit more time instead I'm going to use the magic wand tool or hit W on
your keyboard and you can just select this area here and you can see how it
put an outline selection around this whole area and then hit delete and let's
do the same over here hit delete and it's gone and now we can turn back on
the red layer to see if we're missing anything we can actually use the zoom
tool to go inside here and see if we need to make
any adjustments you can see here some of the cottage cheese texturing is still
there I keep saying cottage cheese but that's what it looks like so let's go
ahead and just get rid of some of that here so that way it's not so obvious you
won't see it too much with our new brick background and you will see in just a
second what that looks like so let's go around the edges here just to smooth
this out just to get rid of some of the texture all right so now we have our
transparent background it's that simple now we need to add in our brick layer so
I'm gonna go into finder and I'm going to take this red brick jpg and drop it
into Photoshop and I'm going to actually make this a little bit bigger so the
bricks look bigger behind her that looks about good and then I'll hit the
checkmark and then we need to drag this layer beneath her and now you see the
bricks are there now we want to add a little bit of blur so that way it's not
quite in focus so that's where we're gonna go up to filter and it's like
gausian blur and let's put it at let's try 10 and see how that looks and that
looks pretty good so you can see the original if we turn these off we can
turn on the original and I had the cottage cheese background and let's go
ahead and turn that off and now we have the new so now I want to add some
glasses if you guys want to photoshop glasses on I got these glasses from
Movement MVMT they are the Rex ever scroll blue light-emitting glasses which are
pretty cool so they're great they help improve your eyes so you don't get
migraines from the screens now these glasses I remove the background now I'm
just gonna drag it because it's transparent and drop it on her face here
and then of course you can't see them because we need to move it above her and
now we need to make some adjustments so it looks more natural so I'm going to
zoom in on her face just by hitting command plus (ctrl +) to zoom in and I'm gonna
make them a little bit bigger and place them like they're resting on her nose I
think that looks good and now we need to change some of the
coloration so the first thing I like to do is add a drop shadow so go to effects
and add a drop shadow and you can see it just adds some nice natural drop shadow
of course you want the opacity to maybe be a little bit more subtle if it's a
hundred percent it's too much but we can just make it around eighty seventy four
is fine and the angle is at thirty degrees I think that looks good in the
distance you can have fun with that one but you can see I want it to be a little
bit lower so around here is good and you can see the before and the after
and it just looks like there's a natural shadow happening from the glasses and
next we can add an inner shadow and this just helps make the coloring look a
little bit more natural and then click on the inner shadow and here we want to
adjust the opacity to make it more blended the natural colour you can play
around with the distance and the angle but I think that looks good so now we
can turn off the effects and you can see the before it just looks a little bit
unnatural and the after which makes it look more like it's realistic so now I'm
going to draw in some blue shapes in the lenses to make it look like the glasses
are the ever scroll technology which emits blue light so to do that I'm
actually going to go over to the pen tool and make sure you're in the shape
method and change the fill to a blue color you can also select on this to
choose a different blue color and then I'm going to zoom in and just draw I'm
going to click and click and hold to make a curved line and go around the
edges until I close it off and then I'll close it off and then I'll go on over
here to the other lens and do the same thing alright now we have the two shapes
and then we need to change the blend mode but first let's go ahead and hold
shift and select both of these shapes and ctrl-click to merge the shapes as
one and then from blend modes let's change it to soft light and then let's
change the fill to around 40% so now if I click the selection tool up here I can
show you the before in the after it's just a slight difference and you can of
course adjust the fill to maybe be a little bit lower 35% so now I can zoom
out and it's looking pretty natural so you can see what it looked like before I
added the effects it just looks kind of fake by adding in the shapes inside and
the effects around the edges it looks more realistic and the exact glasses that
I used here Movement MVMT actually sent me and Movement sponsored this video they
sent me three different glasses to try out and all of them have the ever scroll
blue light-emitting technology and what this does is it helps prevent all the
blue light from your screens your iPhones anytime you're looking at a
screen it helps that light from going into your eyes which has been proven to
cause migraines and sleep issues there are lots of different styles that you
can browse on their website for different frames and you can try them on
and what better yet you can use my technique I just showed you in Photoshop
