" It's."
" Hi and welcome the pixel perfect -- on right question you tips and tricks and cool stuff with Photoshop. Today on my face of cool stuff. So there's thousands of -- Russia's being made basic and create is -- neon sign. I do a lot of neon signs from my personal work and because it out of commission to do a lot of neon signs for commercial work. But overlapping -- go on in -- neon -- so I -- show you how I go about creating. I start over the blank screen right here and I pretty much use dependable for treatment all of life. Work I do here is start to create my from the side. So agreeing to shape right here and that's what neon signs attached to the war and on and on here and create the iPhone -- This nice little -- Around them around this way and over and give them apart with the patch the wall on the other side. I do that until is that anytime -- going to and -- justice about a like a particular angle I can always go in there and play with it. That's the beauty of that until very forgiving tool. And I have my shape and that because -- want the perfect I'm gonna modify it all right. We've got up path let's go in there and say that path and of course that -- the -- Right -- now. Turn it off and I would see me on that night I'm gonna invert the background. The black. And then create a new the air and give that they are name and called it too this is -- it to be going to see it so now we return on -- path. I'm gonna go -- there's stroked the past now you noted destructive path we're coming over here and saying stroke path which time you can pick whatever cool. You wanna use however. Once you do that. It's gonna use the tool in its current settings. So it the last time I used a -- I was using the little make believe rush. Those are my two of them -- maple -- rather be in the actual on the -- with -- go to the bush to a and -- few -- The shape that I want -- and hardness and said let's go in and pick a larger size and if they can bigger this you have a nice size like that that's with. While there I think I've seen the size and I'm working with. Now I I'd fear aside I know I'm gonna have I think my scala liked his light blue right here. I'm the caller I'm in the brush that I -- the path you the palette down here it's gonna use the currently select the tool which of these cases the -- click on that. It's gonna go ahead and stroke that path with that shape. And I have my to. Sell. Let's go here and create another there. And all the -- electric. Now this flare don't have electricity that's running through two so that's the collider color. Much lighter version of that same blue and now we get smaller brush it's off that like this 27 here and myself that is much smaller. And that new layer I'm gonna -- the path again and again I -- tool. When it's broken it's gonna use that particular tool. There it. And off. And again that there of the electricity well there you go in and give it lot. Distort. The ripple. Use a default -- hundred click okay now I've got a little babies too it's got a electric looked so that's general respect. Now. I'm gonna go in here and up paint in here. That's the part that the -- on maker paints with black paint that you don't see that part of it too -- departments and -- he just wants to see the L. There's gonna paint on the two oh and it we will they are which on the cool paint. And Hillary get my paintbrush and use a -- Right there the largest better brush. Which right now does this decrease to street. Let's -- that street. And go to my brush engine and totally modify that street they just make the Longstreet I want to look like a very thoughtful kind of an effect. So -- do -- on -- them random randomized. But brush tip and increase the spacing just a little bit. And how you see a pattern to that little pattern need to get rid of that so in shape dynamics. And maternal pen pressure. And apparently decides that every time -- the tip down going to be different size from his neighbor and play around the angle there. All spinning around every time it based on -- tip of the different sides -- different angle from its neighbor this Thursday at a very random quality to it. I also want to pass and I have a bunch of different colors in there and would jump down here that color dynamics out of the go between the foreground background 100%. And maybe introduce a couple of it's been -- and a little saturation along the way. And I have all this set up on my brush I know in here and pick this light gray. For my foreground color and is very dark -- from my background color and in the latest -- paint and then go ahead and just paint right in there. This film like that right in there and campaign song rate and here. I only want to see that -- incited to -- wrapped around -- two turn into a clipping. Group. Option click between those two layers in the Pallet and I was at the paint is. Attached to the tube itself. Now going to give the -- some life. Verdict of itself and go to the mayor's style sport and it's gonna be there it's elegant and a little out of glow. And not yellow but it might like to do like that and half the size bigger so we have mice hello going out on the two. Now. I need that make it look round. Now both it would you bella Boston's case but problem boss could be a light and shadow when I want isn't even home it's darker than his blue. All the way around the -- in the dark in tone on the edges while in the shadow does but look it only does it on one side. I expressed a few shows are ready that it's not what something -- cool that's what it does it's important where his case where I'm gonna go in there make a -- my instantly -- do what I want. It's called. Inner glow. -- he gave me an even caller on all sides and -- little bigger and the -- is exactly what I want. Not like I want to be a dark lose -- change the color to a nice deep into like this now when I did that -- did -- Okay that's the color why did it disappear. Because it's an inner glow and you notice that the -- that -- mean. Meaning that anything wider than the stuff below will be displayed everything darker but does appear that there was darker disappeared. All have been changed the -- from screen. To -- of data which has multiplied and now you see that my dark home on all sides. With what it does that's important -- it's called. Click okay. And now it's gotten a good. That's bring back -- electric over here and you should -- electric in there. Fellow go in here and it makes that part of my electricity smaller brush and I just amazed that that."
" And right there that's looking good. Well -- electricity because the neon. Guy who created neon pink to that area but the the glow. How can we see the glow -- be able movements that low now in that area that's papers for the most part of the layer how do you -- so there's that. We can't let you to -- and stuff so it was on the separate the latest now from the layer then it becomes a separate layer do things to. So -- do not go there that right now we opens up and look at those style of you have got to blow. Which is out here which is want to deal with and the inner glow which is that people would side. So with that they are so like if I go up my layer menu. And right down here and under layers thousands need to have a choice cool create layers. Who's that. -- dialogue box that comes up. Case in my network it's a little disclaimer -- doesn't work call Adobe is headed the who doesn't work if it we warned you gave little pop a dialogue. It's just covered it this -- But okay. And there we see that it's separated look -- it now clip by the tube and the article is that they're behind which can now select. Get my eraser. And if they get bigger and economical and it and a race that part. Of the glow back there. It now it's gotten it right however. Right there is a problem right in that area that zoom in that right there. That's not the way the -- would work is yet. It's not one big shape it's one continuous two bit spends on itself and right now in effect it's connected there. Any defect rate that so it looks like it's a tool over to. So I do it I'm gonna go into my vote to play here. And a select it. That shape with my pendulum that awareness around this little portion of -- to come over here and pick it up over there and close it off. That I had turn that into a selection. In my layer pretty electric. That my racer -- much smaller and erase the electric writing that little area there right over here. More and that I pick up my paintbrush and again I saw that brush I -- at 35 right here with them make sure is nice even -- astronaut that. And I pick up the new record for right there at a dark blue. Right there. To -- reckless there reckless here. Pull back the actual size and now we see that's one continues to spent over itself. The finishes off I would -- at the bottom one and we have a finished the non -- So remember it's not wanting the -- with what they do the best -- around us it's going there an experiment. Try a few different modes put things on top of each other and see what -- going to get. Be surprised some stuff that happens both happy surprises that solves so many problems that come up and do you work schedule. I like would you like to see keep showing you stuff what do you want to see semi Anemia certain revision3.com. When you request some kind of effect affect -- if you're gonna show I hope you learned something today complained that the best way to learn dozens of them play. Hope to see -- next show. Thanks to come back."
