By changing the hue, you can essentially change the color of an object without taking away any of the shading properties.
Hue/saturation can be found in the Pop-up Menu
adjustment layers can paint masks at any point in the process to modify the selection
left bracket- to decrease
right bracket- to increase quick selection tool
Painting tools - for refining, you can edit a mask by painting black and white
if you look at the Layers panel you created, you can see a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer that has a mask thumbnail to the right of the layer thumbnail
You can activate this mask separately and then use painting tools to refine it
Background(in Layers panel) - to return to normal view
White - Foreground color \
Black - Background color
Letter X - for swapping foreground and background color.
Letter D - for default colors (black and white)
Adjusting the Hue/Saturation layer
Click once on the adjustment layer thumbnail to reopen the Hue/Saturation information
inthe Properties panel.
Fill Layer - to add a pattern and apply it to an image
This gives you the ability to scale the pattern, as well as adjust the opacity and blending modes.
Defining the Pattern
By using this, you can create a pattern out of any pixel information that you can select
with Rectangular Marquee
Choose Edit > Define Pattern
Smart Objectsallow you to transform pixel-based layers in new ways: you can scale, transform, and warp images without permanently destroying the original image data.
Edit > Free transform - to turn the transform bounding box again
Ctrl + T (shortcut)
Converting A layer to a Smart Object
Choose Layer > Smart Objects > Convert to Smart Object
Placing A Smart Object
Place feature - to import an image as a Smart Object.
Layer > Smart Objects > New Smart Objects Via Copy
-For duplicating layers
Rasterize - to revert back from smart object to standard. You can modify rasterized layer
Non-destructive - editing original pixel data remains
When you use adjustments, the original pixel data won’t be changed
Choose Edit > Transform > Warp.
-for warping effect
When using smart objects, layers can be transformed many times without resampling
You can convert existing layers to Smart Objects rather than opening the original images again as a Smart Objects
Smart Objects can be resized without loss of detail.
When a layer is a Smart Object, Photoshop preserves the original content of the source file by embedding it into the current file.
We can also edit the contents of the embedded Smart object without changing its Smart Object status
Using the Smart Object layer, multiple layers can be modified at the same time.
