" Welcome to another episode pixel -- kind of stuff stuff. And a bit of a milestone. In my idea producer -- David Prager who goes back to the little screen savers days. Well it's -- bring you want for a reason. Now David on tableau -- it shows you who's really concerned about this particular show we want to get to the point where. We -- today show now equals -- I was on the screen savers. So for it to an atomic on the screen savers and now that -- go from here on and it's and you territory. Okay Baghdad -- though it. Gone. So let's talk about -- sponsor. Godaddy.com. Get reliable secure web hosting without the long term contract. Go daddy's hosting plans are bigger and better than ever with 99%. Up time. Free 24 sevenths support and no annual commitment. A lot of like that particular part. That's the ball. With pretty that's the -- plans start at three dollars and cents a month. Plus and the code perfect scenery here when you check out and save an additional five dollars off any order a video. Some restrictions apply you know -- Until a couple of requests here Zack and sing the actress and this guy's word from from -- these people want -- war now I'd come water before. I've done -- a couple of shows and what type effects but now creates something code. They want to see you expanse of war nice that ripples in the war. So I'm gonna create that for. This is just creative use both going in there and you know filters so that many times in many shows. Portugal and there experiment with the filters is Hewitt they do. Do today is could be war and -- toward. First going to be a nice little coordinate. Or something but your post and looking penalties ripples. -- here eight file simple file I'm gonna create another layer and select a little rectangle. Here. Down the middle of it right about like that. Now it's like the nice color like this. The -- here. Well my programs. From my background up -- a lighter shade of blue instantly him like that this little right. And -- are doing that selected area apply it might forceful. Which is beautiful but cold. -- under render. -- and apply it. And get some clouds and do that hold down my option button open PC and disable again. And now we see that the clouds and more intense. Holding down that modify key changes the way though the world functioned this particular case it and it more contrast between two blues. Now they had that tone going on bit of -- and clouds in my second filter to this. Now while back on episode I did some Warner -- poor and funnier I used that particular photograph here amusing in a different situation and that is the filter. Of plastic -- Apply that and it's gonna bring up the filter gallery. And double plastic -- does is it. Creates a feeling like that you wrap some Saran wrap crossover something. Heck Spacey nice and shiny things which I'm gonna go in there and play around doesn't increase the highlights strain. And it's smooth out punch of the details -- get more those. And the small I can make a little smoother bring down smoothly get really hard and make a move somewhere in the middle about like that. That bush up my details a push up my highlight strength and I've got this nice little. Effect going on there I click okay. I've got that now to do with this. I can be selected at this point I'm going to go in there and scale this and go into my scale. Pulled this way. This went. And way out this way. I click okay. And I start getting these -- that ripples in them now if I want to get this little dancer I can go in here and do a little distort on it. Distort the pulled aside and aside and and pulled these out. I felt. And there we have some nice little ripples of war. Very simple little effect there. Now going to -- that and become a little more complicated. At this image here. Stormy day over the San Francisco bay rain is coming down. You don't want to be standing in that you're safe and warm somewhere inside your house looking at this window. So that's gonna create here all the little droplets of water on the window. Now. I was to water where I created this little word. And had a nice look of of water why -- it into a bunch of little dots and make them look like -- but that takes too much time. So I'm gonna do a little differently. -- new layer on top of this is closed create everything in a separate layer and this layer I'm gonna go ahead and fill that. When -- 50% -- nice neutral density. -- And give that another filter. Given a filter of noise add noise. As they monochromatic. And -- punch it up so I get a lot of noise like that. Click OK I know this noise going on get a little bit of a butler says going to my. Ghazi gambler. And has been -- down to about a one just to soften up a little bit. Okay. I know this kind of blaring noise going on there I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start to kind of make it a little larger. And I'm gonna go into my image adjustments and go down here -- threshold. And professional as the syrup to -- something happened and move the slider around you could see them and get different kinds of -- going on bringing into about. There but one of six. Now this is not a formula that pens and your image and what you've done good resolution all that stuff so. A lot of numbers that I put in here deal with 72 DPI files which is what I'm working on here to PPI makes it work real fast so. I've got this little effect going on here and I can if they bring down a bit more. Click okay. And I got this going on here. And go in there and I'm going to going to select. And in color range and -- go and and pick up the white it is that white and say. Select it turns it into a selection second just hit delete it's got. Now it's left here I'm gonna go in there and blurred that give that a little gauzy -- as well softens up all those little edges. Now I want these to be pretty big suddenly pull back just a little. And I am going to enlarge. This -- And large it like this I get a nice big shapes like that."
" There you go -- fixed click okay. Now whatever you do something like what I just it. That information that -- outside this area that's still there. That information is it does file. It won't print it or print within that area but it does take up the memory Finland to select all and say image crop. That gets rid of this super data. And these selective and now to have this left here I'm gonna go in the latest styles for that. -- and I'm gonna bring down the faux pas. Which is gonna make it pretty much disappeared just about to about 20% that does that he's going on back there given little tiny drop shadow and make it time. Within a distance of about one. And the size of about once it's released sharp little shape there and increased the capacity just a little that going to might -- boss and Babylon bosses who is gonna start to look like war. He's definitely strong light and docs and meet the size about him. Maybe -- want to make it one to take everything else there ago objectives that going on here and I'm gonna punch up my. Might tones from my highlights and when it changed the black of the shadow -- to a white. And change the mode to colored dots which is gonna give me that nice and what we effect back there. Click okay and it's still not big enough no problem might go in there and scale it up a little more."
" that. Click okay and now we got all these nice little droplets of water on -- window as when looking through to the stuff back. Now this something you'd like to see something that you've been struggling with how to figure out how to do this particular thing. Send me an email sent to -- at revision3.com. Should be right there on your screen. -- email tell me what you'd like to see. I try to answer some email that can answer them all but I will try to do it on the show I can't do our show I will answer your email and I gotta fix up. Right so hopefully learn something from that -- to sit there and play. I'm playing with filters today. But different filters and around with different effects changing a few things -- enlist -- when they -- changed in the shadow mode. Just to get -- totally different effect. He's always have going in their learning is just to experiment don't be afraid of hurting machine the words that can happen is Photoshop -- quit on going to break it. Such is going there and experiment play that's way to learn. -- something that and I'll see you next week."
