Hey guys, welcome to the photoshop training channel. My name is Jesus Ramirez. You can
find me at twitter @JRfromPTC. I have another very exciting tutorial for you today. In this
video we are going to talk about the enhancement of the shapes properties panel in Photoshop
CC. In this composition, we have three text layers, four shape layers and a regular pixel
layer. We're going to be working with the shape layer in this example and make sure
that you've selected the Path Selection Tool by pressing A or clicking on the tools panel
here. Then I'm going to click on this blue shape layer. And I am going to open up the
properties panel by clicking on this icon here. And if you don't see that, you can always
go to window and make sure that properties has a check next to it. From this properties
panel, we can make some adjustments that we could not do before like creating curved corners.
So I can click and drag this curve, this corner here to the right and create a curve out of
those corners. I can even make a perfect circle. You can also unlink the corner radius value
so you can adjust them separately. So I can click and drag and make one more curved than
the other. Maybe I can do this one too like so. And maybe this will just be a sharp corner.
Another enhancement in Photoshop CC is that you can increase the height of the shape layer
without distorting it. So I can just click and drag and make it taller. I can also make
it wider. I'm going to press Ctrl Alt Z, Command Option Z to undo those. If I wanted to apply
the same values to the other shapes, I can simply copy these numbers here, select the
other two shapes by clicking on them and holding shift, and then paste those numbers here.
And then pressing enter. And as you can see, Photoshop goes ahead and gives the other shapes
the same values as the original one. I'm going to go ahead and bring the properties back.
And I'm going to go ahead and select all these shape layers and I'm going to add a stroke
to these so that you can see how that works. I'm going to add this stroke here. And I can
add strokes to multiple paths and the same time as you see here. Another feature in Photoshop
CC is, when you're working with these path layers, it is sort of difficult to select
out the ones that you really want. Sometimes you have to come into the side here, and if
you accidentally click on something else, then you have problems clicking on what you
really want. So an advantage in Photoshop CC is that you can double click on any shape
layer and it will solo it. It will isolate it so the other layers are hidden and you
can't accidentally click on them or do anything else. See I can just. They're gone. I can't
click. If I click on anywhere else, nothing happens. I can only click on that same layer.
To bring the other layers back, you can simply click on this icon here, and it will show
you all the layers and you can select them. If you want to isolate another shape layer,
simply double click on it and click on this icon to bring them back. And that's it for
this video. Let me know what you think about Adobe Photoshop CC in the comments down below.
