" Hi welcome to pixel perfect Whitney Burk on the show where all kind of things can happen. Oh affect my sponsors godaddy.com. These guys where -- of people he's a paper here you can create your own mobile web site using. Web site tonight. From code added back up. It note easily create web sites that are format specifically for wireless phones and PDA's. Making them easy -- low and navigate from your favorite mobile device. Also. Got MO MO BI domain names are now available for general registration. Traditional discussed not apply it to dot and OBI domain names that set it set up. But if you and decoded to see -- us -- right there pixel five. Click on that then that when you check out you'll save an additional ten dollars off in the order of forty dollars or more. Some restrictions apply the usual. So now. I would answer one question a lot of you've been asking and that's about this little device than I've always working on here. It is a welcomes and -- now but you know that's what it is that they learn how to control this. They want to know my settings well that show you a couple of things uranium my assistance system preferences here of course -- on a Mac. Same thing happens and on the PC. Right here in Europe purposes this is little icon here for welcome tablet which brings it into the controls for the device whether it's a tablet or absentee. Now how you set these up is really up to you. I have a heavy hand so my persons to these set kind of I and so on. It's all a personal thing but this is where you set everything up you know is that there's a two buttons here. Front and the back button. While this settings you can set goes up to be all kinds of different things happening here and I have like click on this things you know little bar that his current pressure that's telling me. If I press I feel the pressure I could tell how -- business so want it by doing that appeal bounces off when I start to push. You see it it goes up really -- pushed up to confirm then you can see it pick a lot longer afford to go all the way to pop -- the really press hard for that to work. These -- things that you set up to -- the same thing with the sensitivity. -- all things that can be affected by how you -- depend on you press the pen but you set these up on your own. Thinking with a little buttons that are on the side here. You know all modify able to touch ski strips on the side. You can set these up to be any kind of a functions even keystrokes and so on he expressed -- they can be keystrokes or or. Some kind of -- forward movement of right clicks whatever it is you want these buttons to be set up for. Now in my studio home I look authorities had two -- side by side and I have a thirty inch monitor above which is where I view things. Now I've set up all these buttons that I never really have to use my keyboard at all. All my keyboard commands all those in that program into all the multiple buttons that I have on it is antiques have pretty much have always worked nearby need to put some iTunes. Put your right there on the -- In god we drove over a keyboard is to actually type things but this is the case right here we can set up all the the controls. For all the different parts. Other tool and when you're getting into the actual pen itself we can control different -- and different functions and even the eraser appear. As you race in which you basically have a function of that it has been -- it can be a double click it abuse click would be a keystroke. So you're working set up as keystroke does. Turn upside down and click this techies throw. So all these things about a viable as a very functioning. A little tool it's wonderful to work on and that's basically what I used now if you're using a tablet and that doesn't eat. Then you'll have all the same controls as of buttons has -- the only differences you'll be working outside looking at your screen. But how you set that up there's no formula it's up to your own sense of feel. Firm so and all that stuff you set those -- the way you want it's very intuitive is -- complicated. So now let's get into Photoshop. -- now I -- you've been asking for re touching. And I want to do this show in action on this and we cuts but. Not the kind of because you expect and I think that that can pull off the forehead that looks like a third I don't -- that so I take images and totally changed and look. And to do -- other features. I today I want to take this little scene right here this is the window and puts a little kids in the window. And those little kids are gonna be with factions in that window all kinds of things haven't -- who's gonna make it's now. -- doesn't even do this week so I got here up picture of some kids there's a couple of kids. Now they've got some really strong hotspots in there so I -- I want to get rid of some of those I might -- in here and maybe clone in his hair. Some I've got a nice big question so -- clone in somebody's darker tones."

" Into here. For his hair just adding some more here just to get rid of now it's gonna be pretty dark. Going to be pretty dark when idea actually. Put this into the scene back -- could be inside his dark room I it's gonna be coming from outside but it doesn't matter of I don't if I don't get it perfect. It's okay thinking with the a lot of kind of bring us some it is read and if get a bigger brush and I just kind of throw some of that -- in there so we don't get oval white highlights. And again it's not that crucial that I get perfect so it was ago. Pretty good idea of what it's going to be and I don't just get rid of her hair up in here. And if it's -- that stuff. Who want all those dark tones it just be -- hair colors yeah it. That's good that's good some of these dark tones and here. Okay. Fills a weird I had those light spots and it's. Cover a summons dark skinned there and again her shirt now if you can see I'm not being perfect it doesn't matter and Apple going to do. I so now I'm gonna pull them out of -- like get them out of there so I use my extract. This extract and get a nice big brush. -- going to allow me go in there and traced them just change size like -- and go ahead and face him right through here. And -- this part right there -- around here. And down to this shirt and there are shared. And go around her and she's been -- perfect but doesn't matter because I just want to hand of their faces pressed against the glass in the windows. -- that now tell that I want the inside part clicked in their and then say okay and it going to get. Separated from the hosting that ARK that's good enough. And I don't take them and drag it into the scene here and -- really big really big so let's pull back. He's on his work area and shrink him down. It's going Nancy scale. And when the scale them wave down so that it just decide that I want to be inside. The little window. Like that. Smaller. There's two kids looking at the window at the falling snow. And that looks good. Make that happen. Let's go back make little bigger. And let's turn them off for second and let's look at those windows -- would -- the windows and separated from the season but it might pen tool. And monitors click on the panes of glass. Those four right there. And these or here before corners. Now it is too close to him silent click here pull out a handle. And give this a little bit about. -- their causes low angle to the snow there and go up and close it off. And then this last one right here go cross down as have the slight curve to -- and give it a little bit of a parent. And close it off so now we have those shapes a kilometer path and -- makes election. Make sure it is no and he -- right there with analysts say they come in the right there they with the background music in a new layer. -- Okay so now there's the kids this put the -- position where -- want them that the windows it's. Let's move them up a little bit about that that looks good and I'm gonna."

" Put them inside the windows by clipping that hold down my option key and click between those two players that kids are now inside the windows say. Nauman give those kids -- stuff. Well -- their spouse and give them an inner glow. What I really want as an inner shadow. But it in the shadow which is what layer of styles is gonna create a shadow on one side. I want to show the beyond wall sides. And it cloak is your color on all sides but being a glow words with light -- rights on the make some modifications. And going to might it and go here and instead of using the yellow I'm gonna use black. -- Why because being a glow you know does that mean gunboat is automatically set the screen reading anything that's lighter than the stuff from the display anything darker hide. Black is -- and everything else I -- a change that -- To normal. And I DC got black. And I can go in there and increased size of a bit so there now we just have this little home happening back there all of the darkness and the kids that are moved should be dark so wanted to do an ongoing there and go okay -- that in the windows themselves I'm going to. Block the transparency and go ahead of phobos with with black. So not a room inside as real dark okay we see these little kids that just peering through the window. And we might want to just a little something to them so I'm gonna go in and into the kids here I'm just gonna go with my dodge tool. Small dodge tool and then just it'll move like this. To the front of it faces right in the air and in the front hers and -- of the picking up that life from outside and then my burn tool. And darkened recesses. Of their cheeks and so on so darken that darken both sides a little bit. And dark in this size or source depending -- that background better. -- go -- get these little kids been looking through the window now. This is solid glass. So I have another image here this little image here a little snow seem treason stolen and so on and take that and drag that into here as well. They're right in front. I'm gonna go ahead and clip that with the window as well. -- bathroom window and I'm gonna go in there and reduce its size but it's going there and faith scale. And our scale as much bigger don't we can see from this pull back. So we could -- our work area. And we say scale is a shape and the scale it down so we see just a little fees. Inside the window. -- that. Then bring it. Come back to full view here and a reduced capacity post fees considerably. That's just a little hint of the trees visible in front of the kids and how we have a little reflection of the trees outside. And the kids faces -- class now they're inside the house looking out. So now why it is all excited is because it's going. That is not enough on the ground ready we're gonna give it some more snow so another layer on top of the whole thing I'm gonna fill it with black. And give -- some noise. And noise. A lot of noise monochromatic. Click okay. And introduce a little bit grave by doing -- little. More. And now that I've got that I'm gonna go into my levels and reduce the amount of noise been pushing in my black slider to site so. Bringing up this white slated to meet those of those shapes here thanks to strong white. Black down a little more. Click OK I've got this nice field here which a lot of them are again -- Softening and then put that layer and screen most of -- like tons of show through. And now we see them it's snowing the little kids inside the window the -- in the window who have a completely different scene. -- remember it's all the steps that are involved here. Human I'll have to do it exactly like this but. All the different things that went into making this scene the -- this is what's important here -- highlights here in the shadows there. The reflections whatever is these are things that make something look real. Hope -- not something that. There's something you have figured out on your -- you really wanna how to do it semi need to see about doing on the show -- you. The email and try to give -- there. So right via Burton and these three dot com. We'll see you next week."
