PhotoshopIt has become one of the indispensable tools in daily life. It can help people better process images, improve design efficiency, and create more beautiful visual effects. Let the editor introduce to you the common functions of PS!
PS cutout is one of the common techniques in image processing. It can help us quickly and accurately remove the background of pictures and make foreground objects more prominent.
Method 1: Cutout with Magic Wand (W)/Magic Eraser (E)
The Magic Wand Tool and the Magic Eraser Tool are both tools that make selections based on the similarity of the colors of images. When using the Magic Wand tool, you can control the range of selected colors by setting a tolerance value. When the tolerance value is larger, the range of colors selected is larger. After we select the magic wand tool, we only need to click on the area we want to clear to select the area. Then, just press the Delete key to delete the selected content.
Method 2: Pen (P) cutout method
The pen tool is a more precise cutout tool. When using the Pen Tool, we need to draw a path along the edge of the object we want to cut out. By continuously adjusting the path's nodes and control handles, you can accurately outline the object. When the path is drawn, press Ctrl+Enter to convert the path into a selection. Then, just press the Delete key to delete the selected content.
Method Three: Channel Cutout
Channel matting is an advanced matting method, suitable for pictures with complex backgrounds or images with similar foreground and background colors. First, we need to copy a layer of the original image. Then, click on the red, green, and blue channels in sequence to select the channel with the highest black and white contrast in the image. Next, select the channel and right-click to copy the channel. Select "Image" - "Apply Image" in the menu bar, and set the blending mode to "Color Burn" to make the black and white contrast more obvious. Finally, use Ctrl+L to adjust the color levels to make the black and white contrast more obvious. After checking the picture, use Ctrl+click to copy the thumbnail of the channel to form a selection, and finally just delete the selection content directly with the Delete key.
The PS software itself comes with many fonts, but design partners may need more types. The following are the steps for importing external fonts into PS:
To import Photoshop fonts, you first need to download the required font files from a reliable source. These font files are usually in .ttf or .otf format, with exquisite design and professional expression. After the download is complete, you need to decompress it to extract all the contents of the font file.
Then, open the C drive of your computer and enter the fonts folder in the Windows directory. This folder is where the Windows system stores fonts. After the font files are copied to this folder, the system can recognize and use these fonts. When copying font files, you need to pay attention to the name and format of the font to ensure that you copy and paste correctly.
Next, restart the Photoshop software. After restarting, you can see the newly added font in Photoshop's Font Selection drop-down menu.
