" Another episode pixel perfect -- on the show right from your kind of Photoshop stuff and whatever else comes to mind. A special treat for you guys today you screen savers alumni out there. We have a new face and Revision 3 actually a familiar face them -- time ago but -- You want to do this because she's at her face on the interface. Look -- here that the studio today I I've heard yet talked to my. Microphone and -- very. There ago I think there's Q now with Revision 3 article. That I did it to you anyway. It's not live so we can edit that they share. It. And threat to. Right. Petitioners something. Are you gonna talk about today is another aspect of -- styles but before we get into that I had my little formal stuff here. And I -- tries to piece of paper second read it yet. It's but godaddy.com. My sponsor. It 96 dollars in free extras with -- your domain name. From godaddy.com. Each domain name includes free hosting with a web site builder. A free blog complete email and much much more. Plus enter the code pixel but you're seeing right there. When you check out and you get your dot com name for just six dollars and 95 cents a year. Some restrictions apply you know leave it they'll get that done let's get down to business. On the screen right now I have an image. Now what I'm dealing with here is called the bracket itself. Now that doesn't happen much anymore with a lot of the auto features in the digital and so on but still. It's gonna explain a couple of other aspects of this but a -- shot meant that. Two shots were taken the same thing one with for the light -- when for the dark tone as you see on my screen here. This particular shot with a shot for the sky and issued in the sky -- ground over the and that -- got really dark back here. In this image I shot for the land this guide burnt out became white. So what I wanna do now to take the best the one and combine it with the best of the other. To a separate shots and replace on the tripod so they are exactly the same shot just different exposures to get the different tones -- one. So I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this one imagery here and -- my moved to a just gonna drag it Obama should keep it constrained to the Senate and drag it over that. Second -- Now would take this one vote away. Now we look at our layers -- here we see that we have the to the dark one. And the light on on top. -- So when I would do is I'm gonna go into the layers bows but this layer double click on it we've been my -- right here."
" In the opening screen which is the blending options that's the fall. Down here is the area wanted to talk about. The blend modes that here. Now I can affect individual -- is I'm gonna go with the great because what the deal with all the letters all the different channels the red between and the blue. Now what happens with these two sliders is -- control the values and in the show and it -- it would be hidden all these. Two -- the -- on top and the background and back now. Top fighter says this slayer that's the layer whose -- thousand men which is the -- that has the -- out sky. Underlying layer that's misleading because it sounds like it's just the layer underneath but underlying layers is everything on the -- There are 400 layers and is the 400 there I -- all 399 layers below. Will be affected by the underlying layer in this case it's the background that's the underlined. Now there's two sliders have these black. While left and the white. Right when I move these sliders depending on which values they're going into. It in this layer it's going to take those values away. And -- move my black slider depending on how far ago both particular values will disappear from this later. Now an important thing about this is the non destructive quality. I'm not -- these things away not erasing them I'm simply hiding them based on the values that I put in here. No my wife slide over we'll start to live and it's like towns. The underlying -- the second slider at the bottom. If I move the black -- and those particular values in the underlying layer will show through it will not be hidden by this layer on top. We the whites -- the light -- neat we'll show through. Now when you look at this -- this later it's like so when I move the slider on this layer slider. Right off the bat it's gonna pretty much disappeared this guy's been despair and move it over just a little. The hottest guys on the disappear that is still -- bellies up here and it's still falling into his range beyond. Where I've movements -- key witness over you see that more of it will disappear. And move away over and this guy is now completely gone. It's a hard edge on the edge here is a hard edge we see some pixel position the white showing through. I hold down my option button which is all done PC I can split that's like. Right but it just like that and you could see that I have now it's -- and that it and he's been nice transition. Between those tones -- being eliminated from the flight. Click okay we see now that we have the two different layers have been combined to give me one image that exposed this guy and the land equally. Now. Double clicking on it. See there's a slider just as I left before grabbing the following -- and there we see that this guy comes through so I didn't really means anything. -- Just bring this back over and that it again click okay. And to explain this of the batters he get the idea of how this works and create another layer on top of both cities. And it you know long rectangle selection right through here. And of the with a little gradient black to white. I really like that Steve selected. So now I'm gonna go in there and do certain colors in there. I'm going to my layer styles from this later which is the one with a little boy that it has created an animal might whites fighters in. -- at the whites are disappearing to further I go and the more of those -- will disappear. Let's bring it back. And the darts and move them forward and you see that the blacks is -- the for the right -- the more right news. Likewise with the stuff on the need to move the night slider at some point this guy's gonna start to come through. There cups. Comes this guy and the like tones in the -- start the show. Thing in my -- slider and you'll see that on the dark tones of the mountains coming right through my agree. Now let's just say I want a nice so far up there had to bring in my -- tones. Options split it again nice soft transition like that bring in my back -- decided that options split it. And then we see that we had this nice little. Shape of their and if you look at the actual layers palate you see that it's still there although that was stored there and simply detonating. Them. For visual effect. Through related stuff -- erase anything I'm just doing it with a -- about coming back in here you can see that if it will be back. And -- back and everything is still visible. So it's a nice way of going in there and -- Adding things come through. And your images of this some dirt dorktones you want to come through with some like tones it has want to blend two images together like I didn't hear we have some nice values and one. And some bad -- is another because different exposures it's a good way of combining images and really easy way -- no need for going in there masking its have been masking based on the values of the tones that you're going in there. And it's it's. I hope you learned something from that on and remember to play. It's the best -- and stuff going that you see dialogue box play around with different values bushels -- around see what happens. That's the best winners there and play on the -- his work it does play. In the next up."
