" It's."
" Hi again welcome to picks approach to meet her on show were actually used -- about it and it comes up. It's taken paperwork. I think my -- sponsors godaddy.com. These guys who. Give you all kinds of good stuff with the media. If -- different things that could be from here. Let's just tell you that if you want to make it impact online. Godaddy.com has -- to me. Dot com names. Cited as low as one dollar and 99 cents plus world class hosting fast and easy web site builders and much much more. And if you have enter code pixel six like to see right here on the screen right now. Yeah and typical six when you check out you'll save an additional 20%. On any twelve to 24. Month plan. Twelve or 24 month plan. Some restrictions apply and the usual fine print. OK. Let's get into the meat and potatoes to show here. For. Well do today is they have been asked for by a lot of people they wanted to know wispy smoke. I coming from cigarettes everybody wants a few wispy smoke coming from cigarettes. Wanna do a cigarette. And in California and you know supposed to talk about cigarettes here so -- to a smoking gun think that's smoke for from god. See you talk about comes into -- it. If I get into politics are acts up. And create a file here. And I'm gonna make it let's say. 800 pixels lying. By a 900 pixels high. -- to from the screen here and we're gonna RGB click okay. So now. And in purpose. Edinburgh. This black. And then go there because you remember -- that this and every show everything in later. As they are gonna put the smoking gun so great as long. A little rectangle like this. I that that is good. And and -- tea. Of the colors here -- get this. Have a light gray here. The foreground color for the background color -- get much darker -- that pick okay. And I get may reflect the gradient that's on the gradient right inside there. Okay then it's good. Now got to do is gonna come in here and I'm gonna do a little perspective on this and grab this to kind of widen it out like that. Click okay. That's looking good now ought to do is gonna draw a little circle. Right in here. Right along this edge right there. All right. And just be sure everything's okay we're gonna put in that separate layer. And in doubt draw another with a reflective gradient but in a different direction we'll do it. This way."
" Okay so now I'm going there and gonna. Go to select modify and contract gonna contract. This election as bring it down to about. Hold that CPU. Down ten pixels. Click okay this small area so now I'm going to do is I'm going to. Change that background color to a much deeper color and go to a radio -- correct rather radio the new gradient angry little gradient. Right through here like that it so we have this little. Affect like that that's a little hole at the end of the gone. So. We might want to put a little -- site appear on layer behind. My barrel I'll throw in a little with my. Lasso -- with little -- like that little guy to think that I go. Kind of trying to dome shape and go to so that would that like great. -- like that. And right from it just create an evolution -- goes back like this and down. And over and the layer behind that hold down my command key and put the new layer which creates a new layer behind the currently selected there. We'll get a slightly darker -- And will fill that with that. Burial site I've got -- site now we need to smoke. I take all all of man's -- the background I'm gonna go ahead and merged those layers merge visible. So there. In my background would take those layers and kind of this pushed us off and back -- a bit more than -- of the mess. Announced little off the scene now not gonna create. That's smoke swirling smoke that comes out of that layer unstoppable of these. And again migrating into I'm gonna choose by clicking appear in the actual Rhea which is what these other choices like this one right here. Which has a nice set pattern of going from dark like dark back the light again. Okay. And now we see some might work area here. And -- long rectangle. Across the entire. Edge of my idea. Et cetera might work here and I mean that you later and going to fill that. -- that me and even though I don't select the colors I select a specific -- is gonna automatically used those -- so it really integrated inside here. It creates -- Now let's go that's decently."
" I'm not I'm gonna do some stuff to this now I'm gonna go in here and -- going to hue saturation. And I'm gonna bring the saturation it is all the way down to."
" that. And my levels. And increase the contrast a little bit to make those lights and darts much stronger. It's like that. There we go. Now. And pull back a little bit to see more of a -- work area I'm gonna go in and starts to slow trip kind of my friend Corey barker. That's because a few weeks ago Photoshop world it's fun little trick. Who watched them go in here. I'm gonna go in and the little war. -- pull this. And pull this. I'm basically going in there and had distorting these things kind of like what I did with water. Awarded it was flowing around. Recently. We're doing. Splashing down into a pool. Remember that. I'm doing this kind of twisting kind of an effect around here that is built home. Click okay. I got that. Now I'm going to really -- just. Take this whole thing into a liquid. And liquefied going to start to really create polls are swirls. Here I am liquefied I got myself a nice big sized brush a really big brush which and that kind of pushed things around a little bit like that. And I could take my twirled and then -- a -- going to start really kind of nothing these guys up as you can see all these cool little things and maybe do another group pushing and warping here. We bring down the size of my brush and smaller. -- this -- that we do faster and -- kind of push a few things around that's pushing. In all these we negotiate happening on that all of this stuff. Weird stuff happening okay click okay. They got this weird effect happening here. I -- I'm going -- this consume because he ambler and soften it up. I bet. Now. But this -- screen mode. Scheme mode and going to going there and I'm going to. Distorted. Go here and grab these for now starts to come out of the edge of the guns it's like that. I'm getting this kind of an effect. The thing that. And on a duplicate that layer. Duplicate. And the second one that's on top of that take my smudge tool -- smudge tool and with a nice size. And a low -- bring down the street so it's not so strong that it's gonna kind of very lightly push that second one. Around I'm pushing it around you can increase the street Lou. Now has seen much on screen here this is gonna kind of pushes their assets are getting these little haze of other stuff. Underneath there they -- all these additional little swirls. All this stuff happening right through there. And basically we're creating this -- through. Swirling smoke. It. Pushed those up. -- And here we have some swirling smoke. I remember. Different colors. Different adjustments here and there wholly different back. It's the steps to the end that are important that the end result. That's how you apply it can be wholly different thing. If it's something and I sure how to do something you've been stuck with. Banging at trying to figure out how to do something having been sent to make it vertebrate at Revision 3 com. And hopefully. I'll -- here on a show for you. Hogan or something from this. I would see you next week."
