Photoshop for the Web is here and in this video,
I'm going to show you what it's all about.
It's only a better release, but it's very powerful.
I'm going to use a project-based approach so that you can see how it works.
You're going to learn how to create selections, change the color of an object,
composite in other images by creating Layer Masks,
and apply text to your images.
I really think that you're going to enjoy this online editor.
Again. This is a Beta release. It's not a full release.
There are somethings missing, but I think Adobe is headed in the right direction.
Let me know in the comments what you think.
Let's jump right into the tutorial.
Start by going into photoshop.adobe.com/new
This will open up Photoshop Web Beta. And from here you can create a new document
and use one of the presets that you see on these tabs,
or you can go into the Hamburger menu and open up a document.
In this case, I'm going to create a document that is
1920 X 1280
and I'll set the background to transparent and I'll click on "Create"
Photoshop will create my new document.
Here's a useful keyboard shortcut.
You can press Ctrl 0 on Windows, Command 0 on the Mac, to fit the image to screen.
This is a view that I like to work with.
You can also click on this drop-down and select Fit to Screen.
You can see the keyboard shortcut here.
Also, notice that on the right-hand side we have the Layers panel enabled.
There's also the Properties Panel,
the Comments panel,
which you can use to send your Photoshop document to a collaborator
so they can give you feedback on what you're working on,
and an Info panel that has information about the document.
For this tutorial, we're mainly going to work in the Properties panel.
A side note the Property panel also has the Appearance tab
that contains the Blend Mode options and the Opacity.
In the regular version of Photoshop that is found in the Layers panel.
On the left hand side, you'll notice the toolbar and the color
chips that you can use to set your foreground and background color.
Let's bring in our first image.
You can bring an image into Photoshop Web by clicking on this icon.
That is the Place tool.
This will open up this window and from here you can select any file
that you have in your Creative Cloud documents or files on your computer.
I'm going to click on on your computer and that will bring up this window.
And from here I'll Select this image of a couch and I'll press on open
Photoshop will import that in and you'll see the Transformation tool here so I can
click-and-drag these transformation handles to fit my image to screen like.
So if need be, I can use these icons to flip my image horizontally or vertically.
In this case, I don't need to do this, so simply click on Done from the toolbar.
I can always select the Move tool and click and drag the layer if need be.
Also at any point I can click
on the Transformation tool and continue transforming this layer.
So I'm just going to move this over
to the left just a tiny bit and drag it up even more.
But I could also distort it by clicking and dragging on the handles and I can
always Zoom out so that I can see all the transformation handles.
You can click on Done to commit the changes.
Again, I'll press Ctrl 0, Command 0 on the Mac, to fit my image to screen.
Photoshop for the web has very useful adjustment layer.
You can click on this icon to see the adjustment layer.
Not all the adjustment layer are here,
but you do have useful ones like hue, hue, hue and Saturation adjustment layer.
Black and white adjustment layer and levels.
Let's start with hue and Saturation,
but before we do that, I want to also show you how to make
a selection inside of Photoshop for the Web.
We have the selection tools under this icon.
Notice that when I enable a tool,
the option bar changes and you can see the options here.
In this case, I'm going to use the Select Subject feature,
which utilizes Adobe Sensei, Artificial Intelligence,
to analyze your image and automatically make a selection out of your main subject.
I'm going to click on that
and now you'll see the marching ants going around the couch.
What I'll do now is go into this icon
and create a hue hue and Saturation adjustment layer.
Create a Layer Mask out of that selection
so that this adjustment layers only affects the couch.
Notice now that in the Properties panel I can drag this use slider to change
the color of the couch and maybe decrease the saturation just a bit.
Notice that this adjustment is also affecting the pillows.
If you want to remove that from the selection,
you can always paint with black on the Layer Mask or use one
of the selection tools to make a selection and fill with black.
In this case we're going to use
the Quick Selection tool to click and drag and select
the pillows in the blanket.
Also, as I'm making a selection,
notice that down here we have useful tools like these are the options I'll deselect
there and make sure that you sample all layers so that I can sample the layers
below and that I select the pillows and nothing else.
I'm selecting the pillows.
I'm getting a little bit of the couch, but that's okay.
You can always hold Alt on Windows option
on the Mac and click and drag to subtract from the selection.
I'm not going to create a perfect selection.
It's not necessary for this tutorial,
but you can see that the selection tool is very accurate.
I'm missing a little bit of the pillow
here that I'm just going to click and drag to add to this pillow.
Now that I have the selection active,
I can go into the Layer Mask for The Hue and Saturation adjustment layer.
You can use the Bucket Tool,
which is this tool right here, and click once to fill with black.
But better yet, I like using the keyboard shortcut,
so I'll press Alt and Backspace, that's Option Delete on the Mac.
And you can also fill with the foreground color, which is black.
In this case, you can see the two chips here.
You can click on the chip to enable
the foreground color picker and then change the color if you want.
And the reason that I'm getting Gray
and not red is because I have the Layer Mask selected.
If I select the layer when I go into the chip, it will become red as you can see.
And you can click on this icon to swap the foreground and background color again.
With the selection active, you can click on this icon to deselect
and I can now go into the Brush tool and from here I can select my brush size
and my brush hardness and also the type of brush that I'll be using.
In this case, a soft round brush will work.
I'll make sure that I'm on the Layer Mask,
so I'll click on that to get this blue focus on the Layer Mask and I'll paint
with white so that I can reveal the effect on these areas here.
Notice how I'm fine-tuning that Layer Mask.
What I'm going to do now is bring
in another image so that we can composite it into the couch.
You can bring in another image
in Photoshop for the web by clicking on the Place Image tool here in the Toolbar.
Then you can click on my computer button.
I'll select the dog and I'll press on Open.
This will bring in this photo of a dog and I can make it a little smaller
and maybe drag him up right about here and I'll click on Done.
What I'll do now is go back
into the selection options and I'll use the Remove background action.
This will automatically select the dog
and create a Layer Mask to remove the background.
I'm going to go into the transformation tool and maybe make them just a bit
smaller and drag them up and place them right about here and I'll click on Done.
What I'll do now is go into the new Adjustment layer icon and select levels.
I want this adjustment layer to only affect the dog.
In order for me to do that,
I need to create a clipping mask, so I'll click on this icon here to create
a clipping mask, and now any adjustment that I make will only affect the dog.
So I'm just going to click and drag the center point to the right to give it
more contrast and this white point to the left so that the image is not so bright.
That way everything looks more cohesive
and the foreground matches the background a little better.
Another thing that you can do
with Photoshop for the web is, of course, create blank layers.
I'm going to click on this layer here the couch layer.
Create a brand new blank layer.
You can rename a layer by double-clicking
on it, and I'm just going to call it Heal because I'm going to use
the Spot Spot Healing Brush tool Spot Healing Brush tool to make adjustments.
I also have the Healing brush and the clone Stamp tool,
but I'm going to focus just on this brush
and I'm going to enable Sample all layers.
But, I'm also going to click on the eye
icon for these layers so that I'm only looking at the original image.
So with the heel layer active, I can click and drag to remove the buttons.
I don't really want any buttons
on my image, so I'm using this tool to remove these distractions.
Of course, you can use the same tool
to remove blemishes and other distractions on your images.
You can see the before and the after and when I enable the rest of the layers
by clicking on these icons, you can see the results before and after again.
Just like with any other version of Photoshop you have.
The crops and the Crop tool works just like it would in Photoshop.
You can use these transformation handles
to adjust the crop of your image any way that you want.
Of course, when you're done, you can always click on the Done button.
In this case, it looks like I added some
space to the bottom of my image, but that's okay.
I can just press Ctrl Z on Windows, Command Z on the Mac, to undo.
Or I could have clicked on this icon here to undo.
Next, let's look at the Type tool.
I'm going to click on that and then click
over the image, and I'm simply going to type the word
couch from this drop down, I can select the font to use for this couch.
In this case, I'm going to go with the Stencil font.
Notice that didn't change.
Well, that's because I didn't have
the text highlighted, but once I highlight the text and select
the right font, it'll apply it into my image.
Of course I can apply any of these other properties.
In this case, I'm just going to leave it
as is with the color set to black, as opposed to any other color.
I'll click on Done, and now I can use a transformation tool
to adjust the size of my font, and I could also click and drag on this
icon here to rotate it a bit, and I can place it right about here.
I'll press Done to commit the changes.
Next, I'm going to add a little shadow to the dog to make this composite more
realistic so I can create a new layer underneath the dog layer.
So I'll click on this icon and I'll double click on it to call it shadow.
But in this case I actually want
the shadow below the hue and saturation, and I'm going to paint with red.
So I'll Select the Eyedropper tool tool and select the red that you see on here.
Then I'll paint with the brush tool using
a soft brush, and I can paint the shadow in.
But I need to make sure that I'm on the actual shadow layer and I can paint
like so if you have a tablet, you can use the pressure for size and for Opacity.
In this case, I'm just painting with a regular mouse.
So, I'm painting on the dog like so
if you make a mistake, you can use the Eraser Tool and use it to erase.
You can also use the bracket keys on the keyboard to adjust your brush size,
just like you can with the regular version of Photoshop.
And of course, you can adjust the size and hardness from these sliders
and continue making any adjustment layer you want.
For this shadow to look a little more
realistic, we do need to change the blending mode to something else,
so, I'm going to go into the Properties panel and under appearance.
I'll select multiply and you can see that the shadow looks much better.
And when I enable the Hue and Saturation adjustment layer
The shadow looks green as well.
There are few more things that I want to show you here on Photoshop for the Web.
I'm going to go back into the original couch.
Right-click and select duplicate layer.
So, now I have a duplicate copy of my original couch layer,
and if you notice there's some depth of field here on this photo of the dog,
it's a little blurry, but then the couch becomes sharp.
That wouldn't happen in the real world.
I do need to match the depth of field, and I can do so by blurring the layer.
So, with this couch copy active,
I'm going to go into this menu and you'll see the filters.
It's only two filters.
Some people think there are no filters and Photoshop for the web,
but there are in fact two filters Gaussian blur and invert.
So, I'm going to click on Gaussian blur so
that I can blur the layer just a bit so you can see the layer blurring.
Obviously, I don't want to blur it too much, so I'm going to just bring it back
down to right about here where we're barely getting some of that blur and I'll
click on done, but I don't want the entire layer to be blurry.
I only want parts of my layer to be blurry.
So with this layer active, I'll click on the Layer Mask icon to make
a Layer Mask, and I want to hide the contents of the entire Layer Mask.
So I'm going to go to the hamburger menu,
go into Filter and select Invert and that will hide the contents of that layer.
And now when I paint with white on that Layer Mask, I'll selectively bring
in some of the blurring so that the blurriness now matches the composite.
And obviously in a real project,
you can spend all the time that you need to get the results that you want.
And I only use this method because I wanted to selectively blur the background.
When you're done with your image, you can always open it up inside
of Photoshop desktop, or you can share it with anyone
by clicking on this icon and selecting Quick Export Share document so that again,
you can send this file to anyone so they can leave you comments.
They don't need to have Photoshop.
All they need is an Adobe ID,
and as I mentioned before, you can open it up in the desktop app.
Clicking in the blue Share icon will also
allow you to create a link so that you can invite people to access the image.
And something very important that I want
to tell you is that if you click on this question Mark icon,
you can also see the keyboard shortcuts that are found in Photoshop for the Web.
Here they all are so that you can memorize them if you like.
And also when you go back
into the hamburger menu, you can click on the Settings icon
and from here you'll see the settings for Photoshop for the Web.
It's available in several languages as you can see.
And by the way, let me know what you think
about Photoshop for the Web down below in the comments, click on that like button.
Now, if you learn something new, hitting that like button really helps me
out with the YouTube algorithm, so really appreciate it if you clicked on it.
I think that Photoshop for the Web is off to a great start.
Not bad for a better release, but it's clearly not there.
I'm really looking forward to seeing where Adobe takes it.
It's actually very similar to Photoshop on the ipad.
It was released with not a lot
of features, but Adobe has been adding more features as time goes on,
and I think the same thing will happen with Photoshop for the Web.
Talking about Photoshop for the iPad,
make sure that you check out my free course on Photoshop for the iPad.
You can check it out here.
Thank you so much for watching.
My name is Jesus Ramirez,
and I'll talk to you again in the next photoshop tutorials.
