He hit that one of those things that was really cool but he didn't really showed put the box content the whiskey. What turned back to yourselves and see that he did talk about it he's an order that's the best thing but am I gonna show well I'm majority now. Content aware scaling is a very popular new feature which I. Myself I've used it quite a few times already I know a lot of people have been using it. It might not seem like much at first but it really is an important little thing when you need to change the format certain images like the -- going to screen right now. -- what we got right here is just."

" Now it's just that I wanted to take this shot and put it into a magazine something. We've seen how it's is really long shot of a want to get rid of this access appear in that here this is a really long shot like a panorama at that point. But no I want to just draw attention to the boat and the two votes next to it so Coast Guard will fire boat what kind of draw them closer. Now normally in a situation like this -- probably cut this guy out bring it over and ends are doing little cloning around the water to to make it all blend in and so on and closes got off. But what happens with content aware scaling is that it looks had all these redundant areas and it -- gets rid of and ties things together now -- to go in here. And scale does that coherent turned to a layer right. For us to do is turn to layer look at our layers panel and it's backgrounds and the double click on it to turn into a layer to -- okay it is an -- So now about -- to go in there and scale this. -- if you happen to have boats to that. Tiny little thing video all squeezed up to I want to do is like. Just lean closer together to bring more focal point right to the center boat had the other two both right next to. Now what happens with content aware scaling what you see is that this new item right here in your edit menu. When I click on that I look at the same handles that -- get with all the other transformed tools that same handle all around. But now watch as I start to move this guy in. Keep a close eye on the actual votes and they start to bring -- and you notice that the boats are getting closer but the background. Is staying in the way it is. They they are not a real close to each other. But they're still keeping the right proportion and you see that the background got eliminated these areas here just got taken away. Give me the ability to go in there and make that happen hit return is that that that happens going to come over here and I want to crop this a -- a tram. Trim the transparent pixels click OK BC that we now have an entirely new image that brings attention to the center instead of having all that extra stuff. Thinking here look at this image. As we have these little people over here and there walking and -- opening it is easy to some reason I kind of overlap each other. And again if a lot of redundant area and what I want to do is turn this square image. In to a long vertical image without distorting the trees. So --"

" I'm gonna go in there double click on the background and turn this into a layer. And come up to my content aware where's it at first -- noticed is -- to normal skills you can see what happens area. The country's got skinny people lost a lot of weight there. Now that's not what we want who want to keep their proportions of just one that got him closer together so I come over here to my content aware scaling. Right there. And now I start to bring getting closer and you see those trees are getting a little tighter together. And no space in between is getting lost and there's -- space I let that happen click return. Go in there and tell us trim. To transplant area and everything that we now have a cold vertical shot. When nothing's been compressed everything the stove has the same proportion -- it has a lot closer together that's pretty cool feature that this. What makes a lot of things that before required a lot of cloning a lot of extra work and so."

" Now let's not talk a little bit about 3-D. Now 3-D is something that actually was introduced the last version. But. They've enhanced -- in this version. Present to show you one of the things that was there before which is the ability to bring in files on -- 3-D image I got here it is -- little deck. His deck veritable deck and it sudoku bench over here says that put a bench right here. Now. I'm gonna go and rely on an existing 3-D image of the bench and there are a lot of places we get these you go to Google and its type in. 3-D models or free 3-D models. And then and there are some of the sites out there that offer free three mile in fact it was one. That actually look like -- There was an IKEA online for every one from flower pots and benches and dining tables -- want to -- many lamps lava lamps. For -- table lamps of -- werewolves family is all kinds of of different things for the house and outside the house. Trees plants and it -- These were three models that you could download and then once you haven't been in your three program or Photoshop you can manipulate those in different ways to enhance -- seeing. So -- is right. Went in and I got myself a little -- struggled to -- to my 33 menu and I say new layer from 3-D five. That's because that file came from somewhere else and right here I have my little sweetie bet I'm gonna open that up. And it's and appeared right here in the center of the screen. And any second now it's just figuring it out and there's my little bench to map that bench just -- the way it was is. Download it right in there but I can now manipulate his bench by going into my controls for. Right here. To have all these little controls they have to say go to my rotate tool like and kind of bring it around this way and maybe that's. Going to bring it this way and I was doing the role on it the rules so we can kind of to put rental biz tonight that plan that's too little twist. That we can cut him. That. And I think that."

" Particular financing -- have -- just the way we want it and and there okay and one more little twist analysis to of the rule this way we can kinda. -- rant about there for now. Political and or shrink it down some of do my scale tool that can shrink it way down about Baghdad and that I can think my move tool. Right here and just take it and put it into position. Right about there -- top of the the little seen I have this little bench not go there and modified slightly by want to do. Then go to save let's go look at the lights that it has and with a player analogies like second -- and -- manipulate those like to have a little more. A light right on top of the bench did like that. And there we have a nice and seeing what we've just the convention they're very quickly we've got the banks from somewhere else and we just. Move that around to we have it exactly where we want. Sometimes we need to make something I hear the scene here system little kitchen counter. Looks a little bear been actively had a little kind of a blue glass of Bosnia or something something just -- nicer. So I don't want to create another layer over at my layers and create a new layer right here. And I let get some colors let's just say I'm gonna get a nice deep blue. Philip B blue glass like new class of organized deep blue like this. That and then a much lighter. Do about say that. Right there and in that layer and I'll probably -- gradient. I -- rate of gradient right through here. Like so. That most home realities. This bad imagine his grey scale those little values and there are going to determine. The shape of my object it's gonna look at dark areas are going to be in light here that beat out so this very simple shape right here's the middle we can't different. So -- come up to my premium avenue and I say. Right here new -- from gray scale and I choose one of the various. Types that I can in this case wanted to be a little vase so let's say cylinder. -- click on cylinder and there goes in a process that. And in a couple seconds we're gonna have a -- there's a little -- a nice little vase that I can now go in here and do a little manipulation to it. That's going in shrink it down. I like that and which is doing little -- on it. That's to a little will turn on it just a little turn about like that. And we'll put in the position right where we want it that lets go and put this right but there and there we see that we have this little. Do glass bottle just sitting on account. Racism basic things these some very basic things and in the next few weeks -- I didn't need more complicated but he can see that it's gonna get some serious power here in the Photoshop for a 3-D is concerned. You to create very complex objects are very simple objects like this one with very little effort you have to go into these three programs have all these convoluted menus and all these things you don't know what they are. Photoshop and simplified that -- that you can very quickly just ads from the right and what you need a little vase okay you have to go looking for -- just created really quickly. So it's giving you that whole new power of 3-D. Inside the program. That is a lot of stuff that went on there. Sit -- and play with those tools you just saw a little bit of that menu I want to going there and play -- that. Create different race skills and see what they do play with those time out infect -- I would suggest it should start with great scale. -- layer and throw in some tones that's just going here and create another layer. And that's where I'm gonna fill it with they have a 50% -- those that present -- I did -- going to have a certain. Fingers be the middle area anything -- going to start getting bigger thing. Darker is gonna get. Little smallest on the go down here and I want to created little a little gradient so let's just say I got black. -- Linear gradient and the logo. Black the transparent. Right there federal gradient right there like that they've sent out a little area here. Read it here let's -- a little bigger. About like that and a reverse these soup and is gonna be a very large area has some of the going here and give -- a let's go to pull out the background analysts say give me a reflected gradient that's a threat -- there like that. -- going to black so I'm gonna get really sharp edge right in the air. And that's just go right up in here and select this whole area right here and we'll go from black to white. Going up in that area and right so here's just some bizarre tones. -- opposite direction there ago. So thoroughly bizarre tones happening what's gonna happen here sharp edges that's just experiment. That's -- give me and you mentioned -- scale again this goes on there and see what it does. As an agreed -- really bizarre -- going to be cut at some point is black state. The black became so thin that it just cutting and that is bizarre shape that we can now. Twirled it around and see what's going on there it is a lot of things happening with the shape look at that state. Really weird shapes that we can play around with and do all kinds of playing around that's the whole point here's the play around as he wouldn't come."

" Up with right. If there's anything you'd like to see on the show email me at -- revision3.com. Also you can check out the forums at revision3.com. Forward slash forums where you can join discussions about the show and maybe influence future show. And on those. Little discussion out of that bank a lot of people welcome me back and -- been listening -- that stuff I'm here because you guys that. Now -- says they have to put my book might knew his book which is Photoshop studio but Pomeroy digital pain takes my major pieces and shows you in detail how I do them. Step by step I read the pattern exactly the effects of shadows like good stuff in this actually. Five additional chapters that are online when you get that book you can then download those additional five -- they really -- to book this big. Two million new book is that. -- Go see that analysts note at the -- gallery in saint Mary's college in Moraga here in California here in the area. Until April 5 there running a retrospective of me this three big rooms -- the vote might work from the very early days of Mac paint because I think people failure and a Photoshop guy. Actually I was of that stuff from the very beginning with Mac paint that's what got me hooked and they show you can see -- really Mac paint stuff and then the those -- stuff in the pixel paint stuff and all the way up to. The stuff today. So now I want to thank once again good oh oh they've -- and put this incredible cool background behind me really cool. And if you want your work to be back here -- email me your designs that -- through dot com. Your background should be 1280 by 720 pixels and a JPEG and you'll end up right back there. Open -- from today's show remember replace the best way to learn is to sit there and play this is -- work this is look at that would that work. I see you next week."
