" Ideally are again another segment of pixel perfect with -- on right. Show you all kinds of tips and tricks and cool things in Photoshop. Today they show you. Very simple project there's something had to do for wired magazine some time back. But it's important -- he thought process behind things. See on the screen right here is his arm is -- on. Now makes it look like gold. We'll make anything like what it is is how it reacts to light turn on. -- lights in your room to see everything from off. You can't see anything when you turn on those lights you -- the and objects what makes up analysts over something like gold something like. For her it's how they react like a silver and gold people they're exactly the same in that case is the goal. The gold color hasn't yellowish in the the film has kind of blues and whites -- Just different in color going to tell you want this over and ones go. So it's how they we act a light and the colors and the way to react the environment as well if something's reflective and so on -- like what it is. I would do it in this case now goes to show you how this whole thing start. Now I started with a series of path. You can see here as a basic path which is -- itself and I created a straight on. And a lot easier I don't put things -- an angle until I'm done with them a Korean astronaut to make a lot easier to get a lot of the effects. There's also. The text. The opening of the top in his boat ship that's on there all these different things in the outer edges and so on all the different parts were created that's path. Now looking at the layers background layer it's just black. If that another show that'll put anything in the background there and even a color that's gonna make it easy to see things on top of it for the thing element to become a dark. How to make the background white light color in this case they're all like colored so I mean the background black makes it easy to -- keep things like work. Now let's look at that -- There's the past and."
" We look at them first layer we see that it's the gold with filling up in that area there including those fit after it emerged that of that path. Go back over here I was a little QE two. And already is it is the text there had been given a -- on the boss or turn off the effect if you systems like the little poem there. And the effect created that sense of depth it's been etched into the gold charm. We have a little. Second want to hear it again it's just a series of little lines that war that's all that that -- the lines to have an effect -- of the effectively ceded to stroke. Path of foreign -- fits in here and by adding that little effect which again is a -- boss it created that look like there's a little. Edge that's been. Carved right into that metal plate. We'll have a second one there. Same line except I added a double boss in reverse which made it look like it's -- as you see right into that area there. And we oppose them see that -- we have this part it's -- set into the goal at the highlight here shadow there. I -- data there so it -- that look like this thing is this. It's into the goal. Surface. That had been shipped outline same thing again align have been given -- about balloon boss and a second set. That's been given about old boss wouldn't how -- to create that overall effect. And jump appear and we have this little outline. That matters again the same thing. -- one game that -- look. Now the evil all merge together. And formed this way here this tremendous -- now now we have that they are composite Leo I've -- all of these layers into one. And now let's start adding the highlights and shadows and reflections and make it look like oh. First when you can see that these three here the highlight of my head and the shadow had been clip with a composite -- First and I would look at we see that it's just a simple gradient -- column kind of fit was created. And I've made a gradient from a dark brown to a -- of ground here now. Once I've done that. When did I went in here and turn those lines into the selection and it race right there I race. Those other parts of the ground at these little opening Vista and cover that. The little edges and I also in there and then cut out these little areas here and its its current there. It's -- here. -- it adds that little accent. And the curvature to the metal to make them look like this has an actual curved surface to it's it's the usual creating. The way we create these the -- and curve right in there like that. Edge over here slightly lighter tone than the overall background was at and again I created the little edges curve it yet rounded quality. And the final one is a highlights the bright light that -- straight across and street clothes there and again -- cut by the lines in the middle. And once I have let's just go in here and create another. Create one more line right up here and competence. And -- that we really see it happen when these do. Okay really strong blue select what I'm gonna do into Google and -- for the right through him like that. They have like clip but with the rest there it is going right through would see how it's coming lines. So I did that turn the lines themselves. Which threw it out here in the selections. That's going here and the little -- lines which of these guys down here. And that's kind as Clinton's election. There would feel right there so I come over here get in close I'm and the -- to have the blue. Which is right here and they want. That area select it's -- to -- it might delete key and that area gets -- Feed that's how right. They would get those little shape coming through -- added the towns and I simply flip up the ports -- they want to be seen. Then a further cuts was to go and dale -- racer and this. Cut off of little corners like that forget that -- the -- going on there. Like that. I bet that's what I would it was required now wants I had all those shapes in place. I went in there and let's turn this off. I skewed simply took the distort tool and twisted the whole thing back and another composite and twisted back. Now duplicated -- there and -- offset if like me. Created this. And it's and phones. Offset it in other words that moved up to aside when it was it two layers together it create the illusion of an edge right along the side here. Complete the bet that this little battle Tron needed if -- were looking at this time we have to be able to see an edge to it. All -- there was a duplicate this layer. Added some additional dollars and there and it created this little -- you see these little -- here is because that's that's doing inspections stones that way. And we have this layer here and duplicate that there. The fact that the one and back and moved down just a little bit effect that. And I like that now going to lock the transparency for lack of transparency. And to so we could really see it with the with the blu. It is as though the blue -- together a hard -- there need to go in there and make that even. Take a lasso tool here and just gonna select this little town right in there like that and fill it with that move. Yeah and unlock the transparency that point and -- and bill that. And got a little area here. It's going -- right here and like that whole -- there go and bill that with the blu. And we have some other stuff over here right here."
" And there close it off to think that the with the blu. And I would hear we're getting this nice little edge going here and that little piece right here it is going there was little brush. Smaller and fill that in with the blue as well now the exit homes -- which is the move dodging and burning. Burning right in this area here because the little darker and and audiences and -- component in there and maybe a little bit right in here and the from the corner here. And with a little dodge tool. I just go in there and add them like tones. Because they rush. And light tone in there and maybe unlike time here and that's how that that was added. So when this is all finished that I had at the little -- that's the -- show you guys it's creepy little sparkles on here. Have a mayor here which is called sparkle -- sparkles it. And over the white bright and nice white color that's -- nice shape it's small enough -- smaller and nice soft edge to it. That's a good size right there and a go to my brush engine. And make sure things off except other dynamics -- that'll fade the fate of 25. Which is 25 steps is gonna do it so I'm gonna do now -- I'm gonna take this monitor is gonna look click right hand corner. Click Baghdad now I'm gonna come wit here it myself enough room hold -- my -- that it connects with the click click again there. Click again in that same spot the original spot right there come in this direction make sure that theme in line all on my shift key click again. Now I'm gonna change that. Save the mountains they fifteen. And then click and -- first point coming this direction perpendicular and if clicked. Click here click and I get the national spotlight with a little office that. And then I get a much larger brush. Much larger question just as turn off everything -- if you're gonna happen next as turnover rate that the sparkle. And background. And in the larger brush. It's gonna have a little -- right in the middle but more and we get this nice little sparkle that we can venues all over the place. Back into these guys I think that's sparkle in duplicated. One over here. And media affect the want to make a little bit smaller."
" And we have ourselves nice little golden. Arm. So it's just how you handle reflections. Shadows and highlights which is going to determine what something is made of your -- I hope you learn something for this. And I want to go out there and play that's how you gonna learn about this stuff -- play with it. And -- different numbers play with different tools hold on different -- and see what happens that's the best part about -- plane and exploring. Organized something we'll see you next show. Take care."
" yeah and."
