" Wow."

" This episode of pixel perfect is brought to you by godaddy and Squarespace."

" Bob sitting here with two incredible people out. Back in the days of tech TV I was introduced many times as the king of Photoshop. Well -- be sitting to the man who really deserves that title of king of Photoshop. But. You know that's that's good -- would technically here. This is the 150 episode. So as a special treat I have. Two of the three stars of the biggest. Photoshop show on the on the Internet. The Photoshop guys right here now everybody. This is about helping. Scott Kelly Scott Kelly is the president of the an APP he's the man responsible for Las Vegas well not Las Vegas but response Photoshop and tossed around the house is better than I thought. News is Bob before Photoshop world where we are now Photoshop user magazine layers magazine. So many other things that have to do with Photoshop and sitting next film is not cut costs -- the oh. Down the house but it did little good rockin' out I don't have. That is Photoshop guy number two not number three he's out. Believe it -- not doing a barbershop quartet right now so he couldn't join us but that's not Agile of the three isn't -- don't really good deal. So what are we gonna do today we're gonna see here."

" I have equal to -- but before do this I have to say that I may be may be the -- of Photoshop. That you are still thinking you're the king you -- Photoshop you were doing Photoshop before I probably even realize there's such things as Photoshop. So I was learning from you long before I were taught my first class and so. Is gonna be -- I just had a clear that up before we went wrong so -- I'm ready to twirls kind of eight commercial. To -- In a commercial technique. We -- we have a -- product shot on a white background we're gonna create what looks like I like the commercial advertisement a great. And so Matt Matt is here because so what he's the eye candy yes he's just but certain overbooked look and other. I have experienced that. Because we we host who we've host our own TV show. That Matt cannot stay quiet while the other person -- do be an editorial that only thirty yet fit kids big white or those situations let's let it okay so I felt pretty secure in knowing that they would not be just silence of the -- Right so here we go we're gonna start off by a how many how many bill the background first because it has a background I want to look like we actually use studio lighting to -- or something so start off by up to skilling with -- background color schools wouldn't. It's gonna it's gonna take a while this may be if if four week tutorial so it's off with kind of light grey and much all the background without like great. So now I'm gonna add another layer on top of that now we're gonna add a darker grey the above that someone to skeletal darker -- here whoops let's. Now actually type in numbers that it does not support. Nice I'm trying to get 181 here which is darker grey America. -- right so we have two layers."

" We have a light gray layer on bottom darker layer on top so I wanna do is I'm gonna take the rectangular marquee tool and we draw. About thank you -- The it's better without that -- just draw a square a rectangle that's about an inch and from the sides and then I'm gonna greatly softened this'll gonna modify. Feathers almost softening its just a bit we'll type in like eighty pixels and then. Hit. Return so you can see how it softened it up just it will before and after its its here it soften the edges when I hit delete it kind of cuts a whole out of the dark layer. And then gives us a lighter layer underneath which had already starts lighting effects I can merge these two layers together now because I can have one -- Now to burn -- edges even more can accentuate that I'm ago under the filter menu under distort and go to lens correction to. Because in the lens correction there is opinion actually burns in the edges so percent to -- what's called the annoying grid. I like him I like degree when I -- it on the heat it's on every single time. So I just I just wanna preparers like if I turn it off the next when nothing is office does. -- right to -- going to be yet you can actually darken the edges and kind of Berman a little bit here. So the amount is how dark the -- just yet and midpoint is how far your dark edges extend cancel make a little bit kind of a more of a spot -- look. So like Hannah gets us our our basic background now my wanna do -- someone new go select all. And go to free transform. And what actually that the Unix copy perks like -- me duplicate that player I press command. PCs to duplicate that player. So now wanna get a free transform how's that there. And I'm going to bring the bottom of this up about a third of the way. Something like. That. Then we're gonna get to the background layer and I'm gonna get free transform again. I'm gonna bring the top of this down here. To meet this other ones that kind of give you a little who goes by like -- on and I kind of thing -- that aren't really that I need to -- little further science. Proof. Thank you have -- it. Through vacuuming up their -- layers together source we're still kind of to back down to just one layer so that's the basis -- need to do you get the background working. But this trick really is not about the background district is about the product at parties here is our product shot it was just shot on a white background we kind of you know last sorted out. The problem is its glass. And the glass is not gonna be see through which is to be obvious obvious composites so what the real trick about this is gonna be is how to make the glass look transparent. Now I know that if this is going to be you're -- toward you -- one that just draw the garage is. I would just drop the blessing have to worry about it. But -- I don't know if you realize this but. A lot of people can drop -- realistically. I can but I can barely draw a stick man so had to rely on fancy Photoshop tricks to do things like bits of stuff so we're gonna do. Personal we're gonna do is up there actually is a little color cast in here because what we shot it. Or it has a little pat how this actually now that we've shot this in this is stuck. Yeah but there's you can see -- if from the yet but and it is it's it's also a little gap so here's we're gonna do I'm gonna go on the image menu under adjustments and go to human saturation. Welcome have CS four. This is little tool down here -- targeted adjustment tool. And so you can go to the glass it just click and drag okay take out the color cast. That's in there -- kind of gets -- that color in the blast its colors were assisted their data were here you really kind of want to be clear picture you have a great background. Let's just kind of a little aside their -- not that big deal. So here's -- wanna do. I wanna get on the lasso -- actually he's the last what the magnet classes to the tool that is much maligned unfairly. I think it's because people think that the magnetic whistle lasso tool should work like perfectly every time. And I always felt like it does 85% of the worker or you -- this is it's like up a cooperative tool. It'll do so but expects you to the -- manually later but it is it's -- works pretty well as well wanna select is the first part of this is select the thing you don't want to be transparent. So on wouldn't do that I wanna go here and select this part of the unit in liquid here. Its its -- so I guess there's a better word. Liquid -- things like that. Actually need to cut it out of this background I wanna duplicate ready to cut it out this -- Put donuts only and there's a keyboard worker for that shift command. BC. Just puts that opponents on -- like this now. Now you've got to go back to layer where the glasses. And what you're gonna do here's your gonna just get the rectangular marquee tool. You're gonna select everything else but don't select the edges CC agency like -- at reflections and there must stop before you get to those. I guess this will hold the shift key at the side. I can maybe grab a little bit at the bottom but that's about it. And original. Your right there that's good so you're gonna stop how to before everything else. And now we're gonna actually do the same thing we're going to go shift command. GA. Which cuts it out from the rest of it. And shift control date for PC."

" Easy to move over -- should be used to promotion -- pixel perfect that's the one word when you sign up for a discount on the life of your order. Now we're back let's see some local stuff let's finish his beautiful piece of work you're doing there area. So now you've basically got three parts of your bottle you've got the part you don't want transparent. You have the part that you want transparent and you the other parts that can't be transparent either -- you had to separate all three of these on the separate layer. Now once you've done that to make the part that you want C three C through -- to do as well with a capacity. So we'll drop it down to 40% and now you see -- black -- it's stunning. No comment that. Who it's stunning because that's the good rest this and this packet and its climax he began his I mean quite as excited I have isn't -- as -- error I don't know its its got I think he's going either wear Scott calling witnesses. And yeah going to work. So believe -- want more surprised than I am okay so now we've got there on it's gonna go right here later for a McCready new layer beneath its layer. So it clicking on the new layer icon creates a new layer above it. -- in the command he creates a new layer."

" Below it and I'm just gonna draw a very simple shadows so we'll just grab a paintbrush tool and works at the capacity -- hundred feet. Right and we're just gonna draw very simple shadow right across the bottom nothing fancy who -- just go to the brush. Turn off his first computer yet new there's all kinds runs wild and of -- Here all right. That's probably that's a little error somewhere a little bit yeah a little bigger than I wanna hear from -- mark from idea. -- just a very simple shadow. And we just lower the capacity quite a bit just so just a little tiny like others kind of -- there now. You have to actually mail merge all this together so. This one this one. This one and this -- you're gonna -- all four layers on the the command keys like it's like all those four layers and press command unit merge them into one happy layer. And so let's see. Says he can move it around you -- back behind it oh yes that's it's but then let the war will liquid isn't really you know help you. You could if you decided to you can have done the same trick liquid -- a little bit if you wanted to be see through but I have I was really concerned about that. I just -- class to be trans -- are almost done. Up we will add some text to be up to the -- there they go. Net stories tend to. Beautiful as you Americans can do things that's French for this -- Now what we're not quite done. I'm gonna take just -- the bottle and I don't really need this now the story can be told as part of this so let's just move this Allah -- probably won't need this. To do what I'm gonna do next -- due to make it look like it truly there and even more cell. Let's just merge these two together I went to duplicate. And duplicate the -- layer. And then I'm going to go to free transform. -- the control the iMac or right click on PC and go foot vertical or flip it upside down. We're drag it straight down when you when the bottoms touch it makes a mirror reflection what I wanna do is a couple things I don't want to be exact mirror reflection. On really messed that up here -- you don't it is snaps on Apple snaps. Okay area. So here's orient it first off is I'm going to use a blur on here so it kind of doesn't try your odds of filter blur motion blur. I -- go in this nine degree angle. And antenna can pick this fight let's see how it's kinda -- it puts a little bit -- right now then I'm gonna lower the capacity down to like maybe. Something like that maybe 50%. And Al layer mask. When -- grab a gradient tool on the select this third agreed to black to white. I'm just gonna drag upward. To give it help fade away fears about looks like it's a little bit more there that -- to finish this off all you really need to do is go to the background layer. What's at a hue and saturation adjustment layer and I'm gonna hit color -- We'll bring in a lot I can match you may be yes something here Mike right there. And me to take this route 22. News like that so you can I have muscle think we can finish it off -- like the text of logo that. State Department store but Edison that's what that what the trick is about as being able to create this white list -- look. Without actually doing in the studio and you just shot a little bottle on a white background I didn't have to worry about. Transparent your -- fantastic that they made it look so easy -- because I did it for us was the first."

" I was figuring out how Affleck went and I that -- it took about four days if this -- one half okay but that but you know what though I can see that as well as part of my job so. I see things and add some stuff like I'll be looking at Iowa I'm. Optic of any magazine to look at it so do the dentist's office I'm just become -- crazy magazines and I'm and I see an ad and when I was -- to rip it out. Then they go home after our Q how can I reverse engineer company build this. You know to figure out how do indeed that's you -- it takes a long time because you've you can do what you do it in an hour you -- what can never show this class it would take an hour. For one to where people be leaving C I think how can I break this down to half hour. Propagated down to fifteen minutes I'm than ten minutes how to make it really really easy to get these same effect and so that's where did not bad."

" Not bad you also increased the the feared that this is gonna charges from now on but yeah. Miles does magazine why is it's so hot right you have to -- I wanted to read. There's a lot of stuff to Scott did there and not a good sound effects that Matt did. And remember it's just a question I can't -- of sitting and playing you don't know changing colleague here at the different motives so wanted to get wholly different effects -- up to you to -- him play. And really understand a program that's the best way to learn it's a sit there and played like he does sit there and play for a few days. And you come up with some really -- stuff a little something into it now. Yeah it's just incredible it's been hit by energy consideration that has really well what -- and -- it -- as a Canadian guy who has allowed to do it ourselves to -- those they've brought with us today because he's busy singing somewhere. Very happy you're really it'll do is nervous about what we -- we make -- a lot the show about different stuff but he's a very good barbershop very committed the eighty competing he's actually in a competition yes he's -- yeah national competition. And -- he's in it and of course I like the quartet and he's repeat everything there -- actually and it's just been very good at it good. I'll be having a good time I hope you guys had a good time. And popular some small this thanks Scott for coming on -- congratulations back. And candy here and now you guys have filled up the 150 show. -- hope to see you guys next week -- 151."

" Yeah."
