00:06 Xavier Kelly: Hey, guys.
This is Xavier Kelly.
In today's video, I'm gonna show you three different ways to do overlays in Photoshop.
We're gonna go ahead and start off pretty with a fairly simple one.
And guys, I'm gonna go ahead and tell you guys, if you haven't already, please go ahead
and subscribe to the channel.
Like this video as well, I really appreciate it.
But other than that, let's jump straight into it.
00:26 XK: So I already have an image up on Photoshop.
Let's get it to come up.
It's down here, right here.
Let's pull this up.
So, the first thing you guys are really gonna wanna do is...
When you upload images, sometimes it comes in locked.
You wanna make sure your image is not locked or you will not be able to do this.
But the first one is gonna be...
Just double click this, double tap this and then what you can do from here...
That's what you're gonna use later right here, but right now we're gonna create the color
overlay from here.
01:01 XK: So we go to Color Overlay.
We'll choose our color.
I already have a preset color I wanna do.
And then from there, let's remove this part right here.
So we'll choose our color.
And then from there, you can change the opacity of how much you want the image to show.
And you can do that.
So I'm gonna do...
Mine's at 67.
Actually, I'm gonna bring it down a little bit to like 57, and then that's how you can
do that one.
And then you can come down here and you can see the effects right here.
Let's go through and bring this back out, so I can show you the other one as well.
01:47 XK: The next one it's gonna be pretty simple.
Double click that.
01:57 XK: Just go through and get you Normal, and then keep that one like that.
The next one is gonna be pretty simple.
We're gonna go through, and then from this one, we're just gonna create a box for you
guys to see what I did.
We're gonna click the Create A Box tool, and then put it over here.
Make sure that your rectangle, as you see right here, is over your image, so it shows
up first.
Then we're gonna go into...
And change the fill to whatever you guys may like.
So you can choose anything you like right here.
I wanna use this color right here.
And then definitely my color.
And then basically from here, we're gonna come in through here, we're gonna go back
to the rectangle.
Double click this.
And then we're gonna change the opacity to whatever we wanna do.
So we did 57.
That's what it would be right there.
And that's the second way.
It's pretty simple, pretty easy to do.
02:57 XK: So let's go back, and I'm gonna show you another way to get to the same screen
and do it.
This is the third way.
We wanna come up here.
Make sure you have your element...
The box highlighted.
Go into Layers, right here, and then go into Layer Styles, Blending Option, which would
bring that same screen back up.
And then from there, you can play with the opacity right here.
And then that's how you can be able to decide on what you want to bring over.
03:25 XK: I hope you guys liked this tutorial.
On Mondays, I'm really trying to do more software-based tutorials, such as different tutorials based
on Photoshop, different software tutorials from different development skills, basically
do all around more technical.
So Monday's gonna be more technical.
So if you haven't already, go and subscribe to the channel.
Also, I do other videos, such as how to create digital products.
And also how to go through and build businesses online, and also how to do digital marketing
for it, and how to sell products and services.
So make sure you subscribe for those too as well.
And basically, every Monday, I'm gonna do a tutorial video that's gonna walk you through
how to do a certain thing in some type of software, or building software.
So I hope you guys enjoyed it.
I'm Xavier Kelly, and I'll see you in the next one.
