3.2. OPTIONAL What Are Layers

P19 - 00:03?

Welcome. In this lecture, i'll explain what layers are and why they're useful in photoshop. If you already understand this subject, feel Free to skip to the next lecture as this is oriented towards beginners. To help you understand this concept, i've opened up this PSD that you have attached to this lecture. ?

P19 - 00:17打開課程相關(guān)的PSD。?

You can think of layers as transparent pieces of paper that stack on Top of each other. Each layer is an opportunity to create something new.?

P19 - 00:26一沓堆放的紙，每張寫入新的。?

If you look at this project, you can see we have several layers In this panel. We have a background where the frame all this text and so on.?

P19 - 00:35面板上有不同圖層。?

When you look at the project from this perspective, all these individual pieces of transparent paper are stacked on Top of each other.?

P19 - 00:42一層層羅在表面的。?

So what you end up with is a canvas that looks like a flat image.?

P19 - 00:46最后體現(xiàn)成平面圖像。?

If I were to hide these layers panel, would you be able to tell how many components this project has? Of course not. ?

P19 - 00:52隱藏圖層面板，不用了解多少層。?

It looks like one single image, but if we open up this other PSD, we can see the true story.?

P19 - 01:00打開另一個(gè)PSD來講解內(nèi)容。?

Here I illustrated how this project would look if you were to see it from the side.?

P19 - 01:04從側(cè)面看到的，去分析該原理。?

This perspective shows us the truth. Each individual piece of paper, meaning each layer has something different on it.?

P19 - 01:11每層有不同內(nèi)容。?

This first one shows the background. The next contains the frame.?

P19 - 01:16第一背景，第二畫框。?

The 3rd one showcase is the piece of paper, and so on. When you bring them close together,?

P19 - 01:22第三一頁紙，疊放在一起。?

you can see the end result is very similar to what we see in our other tab.?

P19 - 01:26結(jié)果和在其它標(biāo)簽看到類似。?

Let's go back to it. You may be wondering why the trouble? Well, let's get the brush tool by pressing b.?

P19 - 01:33B講述問題在哪里？?

If you're not sure you've got it, go to your tool bar, click and hold, and you'll activate it. ?

P19 - 01:39B/激活左側(cè)刷子工具欄。?

Now with white as my foreground color, i'll start to paint on the background there. You can tell it's selected because photoshop highlights it.?

P19 - 01:46背景繪制，被高光的圖層。?

As you can see, nothing happens with my frame or anything else.?

P19 - 01:50刷子影響背景不影響畫框。?

And that's because even though this looks like a solid image, it's actually composed out of several layers,?

P19 - 01:56因?yàn)槟鞘橇硪粋€(gè)圖層的。?

because I have my background where selected It. My change is going to affect it and only it.?

P19 - 02:02選背景圖層只影響該圖層。?

press CTRL z to undo. If I switch to the paper layer and I repeat my brushing, you'll see it seems like my woodland was compromised, but that's not the case.?

P19 - 02:11Z控重做，紙片圖層繪制。?

If we switch to the move tool by pressing v,?

P19 - 02:15v移動(dòng)工具。?

we can see it's safe and sound.?

P19 - 02:17v移動(dòng)紙面內(nèi)容筆刷一起動(dòng)。?

It seems like it was affected because each layer is transparent.?

P19 - 02:22畫框看似被影響，圖層透明的。?

Photoshop works this way from CS three. And the reason is simple.?

P19 - 02:25CS3開始這樣做。原因簡(jiǎn)單。?

It gives you more freedom. If you slave away for hours on end to create this perfect background, you don't want it ruined by a slip up. ?

P19 - 02:33不因?yàn)槁耦^苦干選錯(cuò)圖層白干。?

So instead of risking all your work, you create a new layer that will sit on Top of your existing project. And you can continue without worry.?

P19 - 02:41習(xí)慣性創(chuàng)建新圖層做修改。?

This gives you a lot of flexibility, because you can isolate each element,?

P19 - 02:45而且可以隔開不同元素。?

press CTRL z again to undo. how many layers you create is up to you.?

P19 - 02:52創(chuàng)建多少層取決于自己。?

And we'll talk more about that in the upcoming lectures. One important notice, before we wrap up. the order of these layers matters.?

P19 - 03:00圖層順序很重要。?

If I bought in this background layer above the paper,?

P19 - 03:02如果背景圖層在紙片上。?

you'll no longer see it. Indeed, they are transparent pieces of paper. But I chose to completely fill this background layer with color, hence why it's no longer transparent.?

P19 - 03:11背景色覆蓋著透明色，不再透明。?

So you have to be careful with your stacking order In the layers’ panel.?

P19 - 03:15注意圖層順序，?

we will discuss this subject in greater detail in this section. Okay? That wraps it up. I hope players are no longer a mystery to you.?

P19 - 03:22圖層對(duì)你不是個(gè)謎題。?

Let's continue.?

??

3.3. Start Using Layers

P20 - 00:00?

Hey, guys. Let's talk about how you can work with layer effectively. Let's start with a blank canvas, and then we'll move to another tab.?

P20 - 00:07新窗口新標(biāo)簽打開新畫布。?

The first thing you may want to do is delete this background. It's currently locked, but it allows partial editing.?

P20 - 00:14刪除掉背景，目前鎖住了，?

I can paint over it. I can erase parts of it, but I can't move it.?

P20 - 00:17繪制 刪除，就是不能移動(dòng)。?

Plus, maybe you want a transparent background to begin with. The command to remove a layer is the delete key on windows or the backspace key on a MAC. ?

P20 - 00:27刪除/退回鍵。?

You can press it, but you'll notice nothing happens. And that's because photoshop needs at least one layer In any project.?

P20 - 00:33什么都沒發(fā)生因PS需要一圖層。?

It can be an empty layer, but you can't have a project with nothing inside this panel.?

P20 - 00:39不能是空?qǐng)D層空項(xiàng)目。?

So let's add one from the bottom right side. This is the icon that creates a new layer. click once on a new one has just popped up.?

P20 - 00:46右下倒二新建圖層。?

Now I can switch to this other one and delete it, even though it bears the lock icon.?

P20 - 00:51刪除掉另一個(gè)鎖住的圖層。?

Great. If you don't want to move your mouse cursor all the way down, you can use the hot key CTRL shift n to create new layer. ?

P20 - 01:00SA控創(chuàng)建新圖層。?

This does the same thing, but it also shows you this window through which you can adjust various settings.?

P20 - 01:05窗口可以調(diào)整不同設(shè)置。?

My advice is to click on this small icon, since it's faster,?

P20 - 01:09點(diǎn)擊徽標(biāo)效率更快。?

your project should be properly organized. So let's double click its name. Now it's selected. You can write whatever you want.?

P20 - 01:16雙擊重命名名字。?

This is how you rename all layers in photoshop. What's nice is that you can give multiple layers the same title. And photoshop won't complain.?

P20 - 01:24不同圖層同一個(gè)名字允許的。?

Please note that if you double click anywhere outside its name, you'll get this pop up window. If that's the case, press escape and try again. This usually happens if your name has very few characters.?

P20 - 01:37重命名，雙擊彈出圖層風(fēng)格。?

Same thing applies. If you click twice on its thumbnail,?

P20 - 01:41類似，雙擊兩次縮略圖。?

this isn't what you're looking for. Okay. Let's switch tabs.?

P20 - 01:44切換標(biāo)簽。?

on this lovely image. I want to add a message in this Top right corner.?

P20 - 01:48圖片右上角加入信息。?

And that begs the question, when is it the right time to create a new layer.?

P20 - 01:52創(chuàng)建新圖層最佳時(shí)機(jī)？?

bear with me, As i'll explain in a second. First i'll write something with my brush tool.?

P20 - 01:57首先B筆刷繪制。?

Please don't focus on the actual techniques, as the point of this lecture is to use layers effectively. ?

P20 - 02:02本節(jié)課專注圖層用法。?

Now I have this hand written message, but also adds some hearts into the mix. Nothing special. I'm just doing it here. Finally. I'll add some random lines to further embellish this area.?

P20 - 02:18字體 心形 下劃線。?

Now I'm done, but I'm not happy. I'd like to change the colour of my hearts and have this last word written in another style.?

P20 - 02:22改變心顏色，改變字體類型。?

See the problem? Because I didn't create another layer. I am now stuck.?

P20 - 02:25因?yàn)槲覜]有創(chuàng)建另一個(gè)圖層卡了。?

Furthermore, I also permanently marked this image because I performed all my edits directly on it.?

P20 - 02:31編輯在原圖了。?

That's bad practice. And you should always avoid adjustments this way.?

P20 - 02:37避免原圖調(diào)整。?

If I try to erase my work, look what happens that does more harm.?

P20 - 02:40嘗試擦出掉草稿，暴露透明版。?

Press f 12 to revert back to the original project. ?

P20 - 02:44F12撤銷編輯恢復(fù)原圖。?

Here’s how you should approach things. first. It's best you have an idea about what you want to do. You don't need to be precise, but you should have at least a general direction in mind.?

P20 - 02:54頭腦中大概想要做什么。?

Based on that, you can make some key decisions regarding when it's best to create a new layer.?

P20 - 02:59建立圖層的關(guān)鍵決策。?

I'll do that now.And i'll write my message.?

P20 - 03:02創(chuàng)建新圖層，寫信息。?

I have my first part done, but i'll create a new one for the last word.?

P20 - 03:13最后字改了內(nèi)容。?

Notice something here. It all depends on what I want to do. If I wanted ultra flexibility, I could have placed each word on its own layer.?

P20 - 03:20還可以一個(gè)單詞一個(gè)圖層，靈活。?

I consider that overkill. But if you do want maximum flexibility, then feel Free to do that. ?

P20 - 03:26沒必要過于注重技巧。?

Also, in case I didn't want to change the colour of this last part, I could have left everything on one single layer.?

P20 - 03:31可以把一切放在一個(gè)圖層。?

So nobody can give you a specific definitive guide on when it's best to create a new one.?

P20 - 03:37沒有明確的指南告訴創(chuàng)建圖層。?

It depends on what you want to do and how much freedom you want to have in your project.?

P20 - 03:41取決于你在工程里想要的自由度。?

For my three hearts, i'll definitely add them on a different layer.?

P20 - 03:45三個(gè)心形在三個(gè)不同圖層。?

In general, separate components should be placed on different layers. ?

P20 - 03:50一般而言，不同合成不同圖層上。?

This is obviously another element that is not directly connected to my handwriting.?

P20 - 03:53另外和手寫無關(guān)的元素。?

So it makes sense. We put it on its own layer. Again, a question. Do I want them to be treated as a whole??

P20 - 04:00問題一要不要整體對(duì)待？?

Or do I want to style them individually??

P20 - 04:02還是分別風(fēng)格化？?

If you ask yourself these types of questions, things will go much smoother.?

P20 - 04:06問清楚為什么，進(jìn)展順利了。?

Let's go with the latter option. I want to edit them later, but not as a whole.?

P20 - 04:12可以稍后編輯，不作為整體。?

Thus I will create three different layers. Please note this highlight. ?

P20 - 04:17我創(chuàng)建三個(gè)不同圖層，其一高亮。?

This shows you your active layer. When it's time to move to a new one, simply click on it, and you'll see that that layer is now highlighted.?

P20 - 04:26點(diǎn)擊-換選中的新圖層。?

This means your drawings won't interfere with each other. Please take a moment and rename all layers.?

P20 - 04:30雙擊，重命名各圖層。?

Finally, i'll create one last prayer for my squiggle lines.?

P20 - 04:37最后圖層給亂畫線條的。?

This is a bit random, but it does make my point. Now, through various techniques, I can adjust my work without affecting everything else.?

P20 - 04:47單獨(dú)圖層不會(huì)影響其它圖層。?

I can change this hot color, but nothing is happening with the other tool. perfect.?

P20 - 04:54改變心顏色，其它圖層沒改變。?

I can erase this last word and write something different.?

P20 - 04:57可以擦掉字母內(nèi)容，寫入不同的。?

This is how you should work with your layers.?

P20 - 04:59這是和圖層合作方式。?

Use them to gain as much freedom and flexibility as you want.?

P20 - 05:03自由和靈活的改寫。?

One piece of advice is never leave your layers on end. If you want to let every component individually, then please take the time to rename them. If you don't do that, you'll be in a world of trouble.?

P20 - 05:15分開圖層一定分開命名。?

Now that we have a few layers in our project, it's time we talk about another concept groups.?

P20 - 05:21探討其它概念組。?

If you think about your operating system, when you install a new program, you create a folder for it.?

P20 - 05:27新項(xiàng)目對(duì)于新文件夾。?

That's because all those files go together and you don't wanna miss placed.?

P20 - 05:30所有項(xiàng)目不希望被混淆。?

It's the same thing in photoshop. These three hearts are related to each other. So let's group them. ?

P20 - 05:36三顆心相連，可以打組。?

Here’s how I recommend you do that. You hold down the CTRL or command key, and you click on their names.?

P20 - 05:43名字選擇控。?

Once they are all selected, press CTRL g. Now you've just created your first folder.?

P20 - 05:49G控，打組。?

Don't worry. Your layers haven't been deleted. They've been moved inside this group.?

P20 - 05:54消失圖層沒被刪除，組里。?

If you click on this arrow, you'll see they're safe and sound.?

P20 - 05:57打開組箭頭，可以看到內(nèi)容。?

Ctrl g is easy to remember because g stands for group.?

P20 - 06:01G代表組。?

If you want to get rid of it, you shouldn't use delete, because that will trash these layers as well. ?

P20 - 06:06刪掉組，刪掉里面圖層。?

Instead, you should right click it. And this list will appear. Hit ungroup layers, and you're good to go.?

P20 - 06:13右鍵，選擇接觸組。?

And it's the same story with groups. You create as many as you want. In general, you should have at least two layers inside. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense.?

P20 - 06:22組里至少兩個(gè)圖層。?

But here's what you can do. Create a group for these hearts. Please rename it. Now select everything except for the background and group again.?

P20 - 06:32選擇剔除背景圖層再打組。?

Now you have a folder inside a folder, and you can continue with that line.?

P20 - 06:37文件里面套文件。?

But i'd say more than three levels will slow you down rather than help you.?

P20 - 06:42但是三層幫助，多了就拖后腿。?

These are called nested groups, as you can imagine. By having everything together. It's very easy to reposition them, to edit them in all sorts of ways.?

P20 - 06:50網(wǎng)巢圖層容易定位的。?

It just makes your life easier. Just look at how simple it is to play around with my entire composition. Grouping layers is an essential part of getting the most out of your project. ?

P20 - 07:00打組是大篇幅的工程。?

Ok, that concludes this lecture. Go ahead and open the PSD and have some fun with it.?

??

3.4. Use the Layers Panel

P21 - 00:01?

Hi, the layers panel is essential for any project in photoshop. Let me show you a few things that will dramatically improve your workflow.?

P21 - 00:07改善工作流的技巧。?

We already talked about creating layers and groups. So let's dig a little deeper. ?

P21 - 00:12創(chuàng)建圖層和組，再次深挖。?

So you're not familiar with this project. And you want to know what's inside these three folders.?

P21 - 00:17如果你想知道3組里面是什么。?

You could do it manually. But what if this project had 50 fold well down. here's my tip.?

P21 - 00:23大量圖層不適合手動(dòng)點(diǎn)開。?

Before you click on any closed group, hold down control, and it will expand them simultaneously.?

P21 - 00:29點(diǎn)控，自動(dòng)展開。?

As you see, all three have now opened up. But notice there are two other folders here that are still closed.?

P21 - 00:36仍舊兩個(gè)文件夾關(guān)閉的。?

That's because this command only works on first level groups. ?

P21 - 00:40控用于一級(jí)組。?

Still, it's a neat trick, and it works the other way around. Hold control again, and this will collapse all three.?

P21 - 00:47控再點(diǎn)，折疊。?

easy stuff. If you really want to expand everything. Here is how you do it.?

P21 - 00:52展開初級(jí)次級(jí)所有組。?

Hold CTRL and ALT while you click. Now those level two groups are opened as well.?

P21 - 00:57A點(diǎn)控，都展開了。?

Use the same command to collapse them.?

P21 - 01:01同樣方式折疊。?

Another interesting feature in our last panel is this eye symbol. This controls the layers of visibility.?

P21 - 01:08眼睛徽標(biāo)-可見度。?

?Say I only want to work on the wright flyer on the left one is distracting me.?

P21 - 01:11比如想用右側(cè)，關(guān)閉左側(cè)。?

Not a problem. Simply click on the folder eye icon and it will disappear.?

P21 - 01:15關(guān)閉眼睛徽標(biāo)，消失。?

It's not deleted it. its hidden.?

P21 - 01:19被隱藏非刪除。?

Notice all the layers inside this group have great out icons on their left side.?

P21 - 01:23所有圖層左側(cè)都有眼睛徽標(biāo)。?

That's because you can't make a lot of visible. if it's inside a hidden folder.?

P21 - 01:28隱藏是不可見的。?

And that makes sense. Look at what happens if I try to enable the visibility of the first layer inside this folder. This will activate the eye icon for the group, because photoshop understands I want to work on it.?

P21 - 01:41準(zhǔn)備工作狀態(tài)眼睛可以選的。?

That's something to be aware of.moving forward. You can toggle any layers visibility.?

P21 - 01:48每個(gè)圖層可以開關(guān)可見度。?

What's nice is that you can hold down your left mouse click and scroll up or down.?

P21 - 01:52左側(cè)鼠標(biāo)往下滑。?

This is how you can easily hide a bunch of layers with little to no effort.?

P21 - 01:56替代一個(gè)個(gè)點(diǎn)關(guān)閉眼睛。?

The same thing applies vice versa. If you want to reveal them,?

P21 - 01:58點(diǎn)亮眼睛按左鍵上滑。?

but say your project is huge. Maybe it has hundreds of layers. How can you hide everything except one particular layer or folder? ?

P21 - 02:07如何以藏除外一個(gè)文件的群文件。?

Well, here's the trick. Hold down ALT or option and click on the layer or folder. You want to remain visible.?

P21 - 02:14A/選項(xiàng)+點(diǎn)擊保持可見的。?

And there you go. Everything is now hidden. And if you click again, everything will be revealed.?

P21 - 02:20選項(xiàng)點(diǎn)擊，隱藏的被展示出來。?

I know this is a lot of Information, but don't worry. I've created a nice cheat sheet. You can check it out anytime you want to refresh your memory.?

P21 - 02:28有列表協(xié)助記憶。?

Let's continue with another useful piece of Information. Some layers go together more than others. ?

P21 - 02:35有的圖層協(xié)作關(guān)系。?

For example, if I disable this Top one, we can see the following texture base and shadow base.?

P21 - 02:41材質(zhì) 光影基底。?

A friendly reminder, please disable the auto select feature. If you haven't done so already,?

P21 - 02:46關(guān)閉自動(dòng)選擇的功能。?

activate the move tool and focus on the Top left side of the screen specifically on the action bar. Make sure the box is unchecked.?

P21 - 02:53選中工具，頂部不選“自動(dòng)選”。?

Otherwise you will have a different experience. If I move each of them to the side, we can see that form one important component on my canvas.?

P21 - 03:00屏幕上移動(dòng)可以看到合成。?

We could group them together. But here's an alternative.?

P21 - 03:06可以打組在一起，這里是選項(xiàng)。?

We can create a link between them by using a command from our layers panel.?

P21 - 03:09控制鍵聯(lián)系在一起。?

I’ll select all three of them. And i'll focus on the bottom of this panel.?

P21 - 03:14選中3個(gè)專注面板底部的。?

This very first icon, this chain represents the command link layers.?

P21 - 03:20無限循環(huán)鍵代表控鏈圖層。?

One side click it. You'll notice the same icon has appeared next to each layer. ?

P21 - 03:24一旦選中，圖層右側(cè)有同樣標(biāo)記。?

Now I can select only one layer, say the base, and I can move it to the side and all the other ones should follow suit.?

P21 - 03:31移動(dòng)其中一褶，另一個(gè)跟隨。?

Oops, we have a problem. It seems there was another element that was related to this component.?

P21 - 03:37另一個(gè)元素和合成相關(guān)。?

It's this folder called texture shadow. Not a problem. I'll selected along with any one of these three layers. I don't need to get all four together.?

P21 - 03:46選中其中三個(gè)，不用全部選中。?

If you select one layer that is already linked,?

P21 - 03:50如果你選擇關(guān)聯(lián)的圖層。?

that's going to be enough to create the connection between all four. Great. ?

P21 - 03:52足夠在4個(gè)創(chuàng)建鏈接。?

Let’s try this again. Yup, perfect. They all move together.?

P21 - 03:59再嘗試，4頁紙張可以齊步走了。?

If you want to unlink a certain layer, just right click it.?

P21 - 04:02取消鏈接。?

from this list. Look for unlink layer. Now, this is independent, but the other one is still connected.?

P21 - 04:09其中一解除鏈接，另一依舊鏈接。?

If you want to break that chain, select them all and click on this icon at the bottom of the layers panel.?

P21 - 04:15都選擇，右下角鏈接徽標(biāo)全解除。?

Finally, I want to show you a few ways to duplicate any layer group. The method I use most is through the hockey control j.?

P21 - 04:24J控復(fù)制圖層和/或組。?

Let's test it out on this Top group. Ok. New folders appeared, and it's called left fly a copy.?

P21 - 04:30第一個(gè)副本生成了。?

I'll move it on the campus so you can see it better.?

P21 - 04:33移動(dòng)畫布你可以看到兩個(gè)副本。?

Let me apply the same command CTRL j on any layer.?

P21 - 04:37任何圖層J控。?

There you go. Here it is. Okay. Let's delete. So I can show you another option.?

P21 - 04:42刪除掉，展示另一個(gè)方案。?

Hold down your ALT key and drag this group anywhere in your layers panel. Wherever you release. That's where photoshop will create a duplicate. Here it is.?

P21 - 04:52A拖拽圖層之處為副本。?

The great thing about this option is that you can perform it on the canvas as well. Select one layer where you want to copy, say this one. Now in your work area, I will hold alt and drag. this way. I'm hitting two birds with one stone. I am replicating this layer, but I'm also repositioning it.?

P21 - 05:10畫布拖拽復(fù)制?改位置。?

Let go of your mouse click. And that's it. Feel Free to test it out.?

P21 - 05:15松開鼠標(biāo)，測(cè)試該方法。?

The last option, the 1 I discourage is you right click inside the layers panel. from this list, choose duplicate layer. A new window will appear asking you for the new layers name as well as its location, meaning inside the document or in a new one. hit okay and it does the same thing. ?

P21 - 05:32右擊復(fù)制圖層，對(duì)話框選位置。?

My advice is you stick with CTRL j or the old drag technique.?

P21 - 05:39J控和/或拖拽。?

Okay. This wraps up this lecture, but stay tuned for the next one, because it is closely related to this subject.?

?

3.5. Select Layers

P22 - 00:01?

Welcome. A large part of your time is going to be spent on selecting layers. I'm here to help you better understand this process and improve it with some essential tips. ?

P22 - 00:08傳授一些技巧。?

The canvas and the layers panel are permanently connected. They are not two separate areas, even though they might seem like it.?

P22 - 00:16畫布圖層看似分離實(shí)際上不分家。?

When you select a layer or a group in one location, that's mirrored on the other side.?

P22 - 00:20選中一個(gè)圖層畫布，另一個(gè)鏡像。?

So for your work, there is no distinction between selecting something on the canvas or in the layers panel.?

P22 - 00:26選擇畫布和圖層的沒區(qū)別。?

That's because it's the same thing. The approach may be different as you are about to see. But there's never the question decrease selected from the canvas or the layers panel. And that's because it does the same thing. How you want to do it is up to you.?

P22 - 00:40從畫布還是圖層選擇取決于你。?

So let me show you some great options regarding selecting layers and groups.?

P22 - 00:45展示選擇圖層和組的選項(xiàng)。?

First, we'll cover the layers panel. If you click on anything here, that's going to be selected. I have my move to active. So that means I can move it around.?

P22 - 00:54可以移動(dòng)選擇圖層，畫布可移動(dòng)。?

I can switch to another group, say the eye glasses. ?

P22 - 00:59比如拖動(dòng)字到拖動(dòng)眼睛。?

And now I can work on that. simple stuff. If I want to select several items in my layers panel, I can hold down the control key. Now as I click, all these folders are highlighted, which means they are selected.?

P22 - 01:11同層控，同時(shí)選擇。?

moving over the canvas. I can click and drag and you can see there floating about.?

P22 - 01:15拖拽后選擇漂浮。?

Always undo with CTRL z. That's something i'll constantly mentioned. ?

P22 - 01:20Z控重做。?

The project is huge. I can select all these layers and folders with CTRL ALT A.?

P22 - 01:26Alt A控全選圖層。?

Now, as you see, everything is highlighted. In general, this isn't going to be useful. But here's the twist.?

P22 - 01:33并不是很有用，這里可以調(diào)節(jié)的。?

Now I can hold CTRL and I can deselect some specific groups.?

P22 - 01:37控去選擇一些圖層。?

So I can delete these or do whatever I want with them. And I'm going to be left with the unselected ones. Great stuff. ?

P22 - 01:42刪除掉或者保留選擇的組。?

Now, if you have a bunch of items selected and you don't want that anymore, there are two main options.?

P22 - 01:50比如選擇一堆不再需要，兩選擇。?

You want click somewhere else in the layers panel, specifically this empty region at the bottom.?

P22 - 01:54比如選擇底部空白區(qū)域。?

Now nothing is highlighted. Let me select some more. So I can show you the alternative.?

P22 - 02:00選擇更多，體現(xiàn)出可選性。?

What do I do in my everyday work is I click on any random group or layer, without any modifier key and I'm done.?

P22 - 02:08比如選擇圖層做些修飾。?

That's because you lose all those selected groups. If you click on one individual layer or folder without holding down your control key,?

P22 - 02:15不按控鍵丟掉所選圖層。?

I still have a bunch of tips. But don't worry. You don't have to memorize them,?

P22 - 02:18一大堆的技巧沒必要記憶。?

will use them throughout this course. Plus, I’ll attach a cheat sheet to this lecture. So you can take a quick look to refresh your memory.?

P22 - 02:25記憶表格幫助記憶。?

You can also use shift to select a bunch of layers or folders fast.?

P22 - 02:30shift選擇文件夾和圖層。?

Here's how I personally use it. I left click on any folder. No other key is pressed.?

P22 - 02:37不按熱鍵，左側(cè)選中圖層。?

Now i'll hold down shift, and i'll click on another one. Notice how all the groups in between the two are now selected as well.?

P22 - 02:43shift兩個(gè)圖層間被選中。?

The real magic comes from combining all these tips into your workflow.?

P22 - 02:48所有技巧融入工作流。?

This shift technique is really helpful when you open one of these groups, say the first half folder.?

P22 - 02:54比如打開第一半文件夾。?

As you see, it's made out of lots of layers. in case. I want to select all of them, except shadow, shift will help me out.?

P22 - 03:01選中除了shadow外圖層。?

I'll get the Top layer, i'll hold down shift. And now i'll click on the bottom one. Fantastic! ?

P22 - 03:07shift選中中間圖層。?

Or since there's only a few of them, I could hold down CTRL and click on each one of them.?

P22 - 03:13按控鍵不放，選中圖層。?

It's up to you. The following hockey is intended for people who want to work a lot with their keyboard.?

P22 - 03:17熱鍵是希望人們用鍵盤。?

If you want to select another layer in the layers’ panel, without using your mouse, you can hold down Alt and use your square bracket keys.?

P22 - 03:24alt方括號(hào)選中圖層。?

Same on the text layer. If I hold ALT and tap my left bracket key, the highlight will move to the folder underneath.?

P22 - 03:31alt左方括號(hào)，到文本下面圖。?

In all the photoshop versions, the group expanded. But that's not the case here. In this latest edition.?

P22 - 03:37組拓展不是最新版本的 案例。?

If I press again, i'll now select the first layer from this group. So that's alt combined with the square bracket keys.?

P22 - 03:46往下翻動(dòng)選擇Alt左括號(hào)。?

So far, we've talked about the layers panel. Now let's see how we can select layers or folders directly from the canvas.?

P22 - 03:52從畫布如何選擇圖層和文件。?

In general. This is how I advise you to work. This is a considerably large PSD.?

P22 - 03:59這是相當(dāng)大的PSD文件。?

If I want to select this particular heart necklace thing, I have to drill through four different groups,?

P22 - 04:03畫布項(xiàng)鏈心，圖層四組。?

I want to avoid all that trouble. Here's what you can do. Make sure you are on the move tool. Next, hold CTRL and click on it directly on the canvas. ?

P22 - 04:13移動(dòng)工具控+點(diǎn)擊畫布。?

Notice it's now selected in the layers panel, and you can now identify its folder. This is how you should work most of the time. Keep your mouse on the canvas and use the control key to quickly select this or that layer.?

P22 - 04:27控點(diǎn)擊畫布等于選中圖層。?

In case you're having a different experience, you may want to look at your options bar here. by default In this newest release, you have auto select turned on. That means every time you click on anything on the canvas that becomes selected. ?

P22 - 04:41自動(dòng)選擇勾選，畫布選中對(duì)圖層。?

So this eliminates the need for the control key. It may sound helpful, but I know very few professionals that use this option. That's because it does more harm than good.?

P22 - 04:49但是很少有人用，弊大于利。?

my advice un check it if you have it activated. This dropdown also allows us to modify its behavior. Here. I have it set to layer. This means that if I click anywhere, photoshop will show me exactly that specific layer.?

P22 - 05:04下拉菜單有選項(xiàng)圖層的。?

If I change it to a group, even though auto is selected unchecked, it will still work.?

P22 - 05:11下拉菜單選擇組，不勾選也奏效。 ?

Please note that I'm trying to select this hot folder. I'll click on it. But if you look at the layers panel, you'll see photoshop select the objects here group instead.?

P22 - 05:20圖層面板中PS選擇項(xiàng)目組。?

That's because this command only looks at Top level folders. ?

P22 - 05:25控只看頂部圖層。?

Our heart is nested inside. It's a level two group. So photoshop doesn't allow me to target it with the control click technique.?

P22 - 05:32PS不允許控點(diǎn)技術(shù)。?

For that reason, I suggest you switch back to layer.?

P22 - 05:35還是建議下拉菜單切換回到圖層。?

Now, if everything is closed and I click it, I will be able to quickly identify its folder. Still on selecting layers from the canvas. I have one easy technique that's foolproof.?

P22 - 05:46還有一個(gè)方案證據(jù)確鑿。?

You hover over your layer and you right click it. The indented items are layers, while these two are folders.?

P22 - 05:54兩個(gè)圖層，兩個(gè)文件夾。?

In general, I don't recommend this option. And let me show you why.?

P22 - 05:58不推薦該選項(xiàng)的原因。?

If we right click over the perfume, look at this list. Even if you label your letters correctly, this is still a challenge.?

P22 - 06:04香水右鍵選擇也是挑戰(zhàn)。?

Finally, even though we haven't covered locking layers, i'll do the following.?

P22 - 06:10未覆蓋的圖層，選擇附屬的。?

I'll click on the background folder, and i'll lock it by using this icon. Now while I'm holding down the CTRL key. I’ll dragging across my canvas. And anything inside this shape will get selected.?

P22 - 06:21拖拽控，畫布內(nèi)側(cè)的都被選中。?

I'm not letting go. So you can see how a bunch of layers and folders are lighting up in the layers panel. ?

P22 - 06:28可以看到圖層面板選中了多少。?

as I select other areas. This is reflected in this panel. This is helpful when you have tons of layers scattered everywhere.?

P22 - 06:35如果圖層散落到出都是，用這法。?

By using this method, you avoid looking for them one by one. Please remember this technique as it is one of my favorites.?

P22 - 06:43避免一個(gè)個(gè)的看，記住這方法。?

And that's how you select layers or folders inside photoshop.?

P22 - 06:46這是內(nèi)部選圖層和文件夾的原因。?

Please watch this lecture again and work alongside me. Pause frequently and try each technique out. Even though there are a lot of options, you will most likely have one or two favorites. Go and find out what they are. Have fun.
