Photoshop Mini
Lesson 5B:
Fine Tuning Rubber Stamp Skills
1. Drag the Santa Fe photos (2) to your desktop.
2. Launch Photoshop, and open Santa Fe2. (Use the File: Open command to open them into Photoshop.) Use Shadow/Highlights to adjust the color range.
3. Use your Rubber Stamp to edit out the first set of windows (see diagram). Be sure to add a layer, so that your changes happen on the new layer.
You will need to be sensitive to the which area of the window you are working on...is it surrounded by sky? Trees? Architecture?
You will have to reselect, change brush sizes, protect aresa with a bounding box (polygonal lasso or square selection tool works best, just like you did when you got rid of the shed in Lighthouse!). Remember that you can SUBTRACT areas from your selection by holding the OPTION key and adding another selected area. Rubber stamp slowly and carefully. Ideally, your changes should be invisible, as if the window never existed. (Be sure and leave the other windows, and anything you see thru the windows in place!)
4. Next, open Santa Fe1. Use Shadow/Highlights to adjust the color range, and then rubber stamp some of the flowers into Santa Fe2. Place them on the balcony, among the other plants. Make them look like they belong! Be sure to use a separate layer.
5. Back on Santa Fe 1, create a second window in the building across the street. Be sure it is on a new layer.
6. SAVE your finished work as YLNI mini5b.
