00:00:00:01 - 00:00:21:15 Unknown
Today, we're combining graphics with portraiture.
We're going to show you how to make an exact color match and use artificial intelligence
to scale up those graphics so they match perfectly.
Today we are taking this graphic, and I want to put it behind this subject's head.
But as you can see, it's way too small.
I want more of these, like, actual graphs to, like, be the entire size of this image.
00:00:21:21 - 00:00:41:02 Unknown
And like, traditionally, if I just had control or command T and try like, scaling this, like,
way, way, way, way, way up.
You're going to see you lose a lot of resolution.
Like this doesn't look good at all.
So how do we get around that?
Well, let's take a look at our original image.
Adobe actually has a brand new tool called Super Zoom.
00:00:41:02 - 00:01:00:12 Unknown
This uses artificial intelligence to get there.
Just simply go to filter boom down to neural filters.
And we're going to go over to where it says super zoom Superzoom.
Make sure it's turned on.
There we go.
And then here, where it's a Zoom image right now says one X just hit this as many times
as you can.
It's going to be four X right now.
00:01:00:17 - 00:01:18:22 Unknown
So this is going to be four times the original image.
It takes a second to process, but when it's done, we output this as a new document and
it uses artificial intelligence to fill in gaps of information.
It's incredibly cool.
It's done processing.
We're going to use output to a new document and hit.
Okay.
And here we go.
00:01:18:23 - 00:01:38:15 Unknown
This new document you can see is much, much bigger.
So now if I click and drag this into the document of my subject, let's change our blending mode
to something like screen so we can see what we're doing.
Boom!
This is so, so, so much better.
Lets it f for full screen and see how this looks.
Now with this I'm going to just make it a little bit larger.
00:01:38:15 - 00:01:57:16 Unknown
Controller command T, There we go.
And I want these graphics to be behind my subject.
So let's go ahead and we're going to use like this graphic to start with.
Now, if I want this to be behind my subject, there's a few ways to do it.
I can put a layer mask on this layer, or I could cut my subject out of the background
and put the graphic behind my subject.
00:01:57:16 - 00:02:12:19 Unknown
And that's what we're going to do.
So let's go ahead and take our graphic layer.
We're going to click and drag that right below our subject so we can't really see it.
But then I'm going to click on my subject.
We're going to go to select and then down to select subject.
There we go.
Now our subject is selected.
00:02:12:19 - 00:02:27:14 Unknown
You can see it's not exactly perfect.
Oftentimes when you use select subject, you want to go in and refine it a little bit.
So we're going to go to select and then down here to select and mask.
There we go.
And then right here, let's go ahead and zoom in there, just a couple of areas where it
kind of missed.
00:02:27:20 - 00:02:45:04 Unknown
So we're going to go ahead and use our brush.
There we go.
And simply tell it, hey, we want to make sure you include that area right over here on the
guy's hand.
We want to make sure it includes that over there.
Maybe some things with his fingers there, if you will, alt or option, you can minus
it out, like if it doesn't do it perfectly.
00:02:45:20 - 00:03:09:14 Unknown
There we go.
Yeah, that looks okay.
You can actually just like, simply brush it in.
There we go.
If you need to.
Boop.
There we go.
That looks pretty good.
And here we go.
Let's go ahead and hold alt or option to minus this area out.
And then plus right there.
All right, so we're just kind of like, fixing up the subject selection and I think that
looks really good.
00:03:09:22 - 00:03:25:19 Unknown
So let's go ahead and hit.
Okay.
So now the subject selected pretty well.
We're going to cut him out of the background using a layer mask so you can see our selection
is active here.
Simply click on your layer and we're going to click on our Layer Mask icon.
There we go.
So now we can see.
Yep, our subject looks really good.
00:03:25:20 - 00:03:43:13 Unknown
We've got the graphic right behind our subject.
All good.
But I want like the colors of these graphics to actually match the colors of my subject.
Like the blue when the yellow and I want some black in there sort of recolor this graphic,
we're going to be using a gradient map.
So let's go ahead and click on our layer.
00:03:43:21 - 00:04:02:10 Unknown
We're going to go to layer down to new adjustment layer and right down to where it says gradient
map.
There we go.
And let's hit.
Okay.
Now with your gradient map, you can click here and there's actually a ton of gradients
that are built in to Photoshop.
And as I click through these, you can kind of get an idea of how they affect your image.
00:04:02:18 - 00:04:23:11 Unknown
Like basically, let's click on this one on the left hand side.
This is going to be the dark areas of your image.
And on the right hand side, this is going to be the light areas of your image.
So we can see as I click through these, they affect our image in different ways.
Sid Okay, on that.
Now what I really want to do is create my own custom gradient based on the colors of
my original image.
00:04:23:16 - 00:04:39:06 Unknown
So here's how we do that.
Let's go back to our layers.
You just want to make sure to select the gradient map itself.
So this will be default with the white bounding box around the mask.
But for a custom gradient, always be sure to select the gradient mask itself.
There we go.
Let's go ahead and double click that.
00:04:39:17 - 00:04:58:11 Unknown
So now we have our gradient editor and I can change this to whatever I want.
So here on the very left, we're just going to click on this little square.
Okay.
Remember, the left side is your darks.
The right side is your lights.
So the left side, I just want to click where it says color here.
We're going to click there and I'm going to use my eyedropper Boom to just select basically
like black from Image.
00:04:58:22 - 00:05:12:04 Unknown
Looking pretty good.
Now, here in the middle, all you have to do is click anywhere along the slider.
I'm going to just click right here and you can see it adds another point.
Then we're going to go to where it says color.
Let's go ahead and click there.
And I'm going to just sample this nice blue color from our subject.
00:05:12:22 - 00:05:26:11 Unknown
Pretty cool.
Let's go ahead and click.
I'm going to add another one.
We're going to go to color at a nice light blue color from our subject.
And then this.
Go all the way here on the right, this kind of purply color.
Let's move it over to the left, and I'm gonna click words as color and we're going to sample
this yellow color.
00:05:27:01 - 00:05:46:05 Unknown
Here we go.
And I'm going to add one more.
That's like, basically the same yellow color.
Just a little bit lighter.
Pretty cool.
Now you can see looks really good.
It really depends where these little like paint bucket like these icons.
It depends where they are.
In the sliders, you can see if I move this over to the right hand side.
00:05:46:05 - 00:06:05:15 Unknown
Just like that.
It changes the look completely of my image.
Like if I make my black area over the right a little bit, my background is now completely
black.
Okay.
So it really depends on where these are at.
I want my background to be pretty black, pretty dark.
Not completely black, but pretty dark.
There we go.
That's looking really good.
00:06:05:23 - 00:06:26:02 Unknown
And I can kind of move these around.
And as I move them around, it really changes.
Like where the light and dark points enter and exit for my image.
All right, there we go.
And I think that's looking really, really good.
I like that a lot.
Maybe we'll just bring this little bit more to the right.
Yeah, that's looking cool.
00:06:26:03 - 00:06:44:14 Unknown
And it depends on what graphic we want to use.
Of course, you can change this at any time.
Let's say it.
Okay?
To change it, all you have to do is just double click right here on the gradient map.
Again, I want to say this one more time because it's really important.
If you have your mask selected and you try to change your gradient, it's just going to
show up as white.
00:06:44:17 - 00:07:05:06 Unknown
So you have to make sure that the gradient itself is actually selected when you go to
your gradient editor.
All right.
Now we're looking really cool.
Check this out.
I can move this around and it's showing up right behind our subject.
Looks cool.
Now, again, because I did this to the entire image, like no matter where I put it, it's
going to look really cool, right?
00:07:05:07 - 00:07:21:01 Unknown
Like this yellow from the background.
And, of course, turn this off or on on at any time.
So you can kind of like, see what it looks like before and after.
There we go.
So if you have a graphic that you want to integrate with your subject and you're like,
Mm, it's cool, but the colors aren't exactly right.
00:07:21:08 - 00:07:39:17 Unknown
This is a really great way to make everything match really, really well.
Now it looks like it's integrated into one and the colors match perfectly.
Now, if you want to, like, let's say in this exact example, like, let's say I want to use
this one and I still have some of this graphic right down there.
All I have to do is make a layer right above that.
00:07:40:00 - 00:07:55:21 Unknown
You can it be for the brush tool and whole alt or option and just sample this color and
just kind of paint that away.
There we go.
Pretty cool.
Look at that effect.
I mean, hit see for the crop tool, there's going to crop this in just a little bit and
there we go.
Lets it f for fullscreen.
00:07:56:06 - 00:08:18:14 Unknown
Here's our original photo and our graphic completely re colored to match our photo.

I've learned later by everyone is around the gradient back map.
The map?
Yep.
All right.
