3.6. Move Layers

P23 - 00:00?

Welcome back. I showed several ways to select layers. Now let's talk about moving them.?

P23 - 00:05除了選擇圖層，還有移動(dòng)圖層。?

Let's start with the canvas. You've already seen me use the move tool so far in this course.?

P23 - 00:10左側(cè)移動(dòng)工具。?

You select any layer or folder, and you can drag it into any position, including outside the canvas area, although i'd advise against it. That's easy to get.?

P23 - 00:19拖拽到目標(biāo)地和/或畫(huà)布之外。?

This applies to several layers of folders at a time. When you have multiple active tabs, you may want to move some elements around.?

P23 - 00:28并排的窗口之間相互移動(dòng)元素。?

saying, I want this Top card in my blank project.?

P23 - 00:30比如空白工程頂部圖層。?

Here's how you do it. You selected group from the layers panel.?

P23 - 00:35從圖層面板選擇組。?

You make sure you are on the move tool. you click and drag on the canvas until you get it above your other tab. Wait a moment, and photoshop will reveal that project.?

P23 - 00:45拖拽到另一個(gè)標(biāo)簽中。?

Now let go anywhere on the canvas. That's it. So this process is done by working on the canvases.?

P23 - 00:51這過(guò)程在畫(huà)布中進(jìn)行。?

I don't recommend you drag from the layers panel as that's not ideal.?

P23 - 00:55不建議從圖層面板拖拽。?

And here's a neat trick. Say I want to position this business card in the middle of my blank canvas.?

P23 - 01:01比如選中空白圖像中的公司卡片。?

Here's how you do that. You select and drag it, but you also hold down shift.?

P23 - 01:07按shift選中并拖拽。?

When you let go, you will now see it in the middle of your project.?

P23 - 01:11釋放掉，看到工程中間的圖片。?

Going back to the initial tab. Don't worry if it seems like you're messing up your positioning.?

P23 - 01:15回到開(kāi)始的標(biāo)簽，不會(huì)搞砸項(xiàng)目。?

This is only temporary. When you switch projects, you will see your group is exactly where you left it. ?

P23 - 01:20切換項(xiàng)目。?

The only exception is when you let go of your mouse click as you drag it across.?

P23 - 01:26例外是拖拽圖片。?

When you want extra precision while you relocate your layers.?

P23 - 01:30重新調(diào)整圖層。?

Here's what you can do. You can use your arrow keys to nudge this card in one pixel increments.?

P23 - 01:35比如推動(dòng)卡片增量。?

Right now I'm tapping the left arrow key. Each tap means this group is moving another pixel to the left.?

P23 - 01:43逐漸左側(cè)移動(dòng)像素。?

This is great for fine tuning purposes. But if you don't want to mess your keys all day long, add shift to the mix,?

P23 - 01:49Shift加左側(cè)箭頭。?

this will move it in 10 pixel increments.?

P23 - 01:5210像素的左移。?

So three taps means that this will go 30 pixels to the left, three taps to the right, without shift equals 27 pixels in total. That's how you use these arrow keys in a real world project.?

P23 - 02:03這就是用箭頭移動(dòng)像素的方案。?

Focusing on the layers panel. We saw, we can cycle through our layers with Alt and our square bracket keys.?

P23 - 02:10圖層用Alt?左方括號(hào)上下移。?

As you can see, I'm selecting layers fast. But if we swap Alt with control, now we're repositioning layers.?

P23 - 02:17Alt控，重新定位圖層。?

Take this thing yet. If I use control on my left square bracket key,?

P23 - 02:22控左方括號(hào)。?

it's going to move inside this folder. If I repeat that hockey, it will go underneath this group called card two. ?

P23 - 02:30進(jìn)入到圖層組內(nèi)部。?

So this is a great way to reposition layers through a simple hockey control and your square brackets.?

P23 - 02:36方擴(kuò)控，移動(dòng)圖層。?

Most of the time, you'll want to use your mouse, though. Here's how this works. Let me close these folders.?

P23 - 02:43折疊文件夾。?

If I want this layer underneath this folder.?

P23 - 02:45想讓圖層在文件夾下面。?

I can click, hold and drag.?

P23 - 02:47點(diǎn)擊選擇拖拽。?

Once I release, it's going to be positioned here.?

P23 - 02:52釋放鼠標(biāo)，圖層位置被調(diào)整。?

Please remember, this stacking order is supremely important. Your layers should follow a Top to bottom approach.?

P23 - 02:59圖層頂部到底部的方案。?

This is why we are taking the time to discuss this subject. If you throw them around randomly, your project may not look the same.?

P23 - 03:06隨意放置，項(xiàng)目看起來(lái)不同了。?

The most obvious example is with your background layer. If you place it at the Top of your layers panel, nothing else will be visible.?

P23 - 03:13背景圖層放頂部，其它看不到。?

Each project is going to be different. So there is no definitive Guide.?

P23 - 03:16沒(méi)有清晰明確的統(tǒng)一定義。?

My advice is you try to create a Top to bottom order. here.?

P23 - 03:21建議創(chuàng)建從頂部到底部的蛻變。?

This would be the following. The vignette, the cards, the shadows. And finally the background.?

P23 - 03:26貼圖 紙片 陰影 背景。?

If you miss this order in any way, the result won't be the same. Now, here's the tricky deal. If we open this Top folder and the second one, you will see it sometimes tricky to reposition our layer.?

P23 - 03:40打開(kāi)貼圖組，很難去重置位置。?

I'll grab my vignette and drag it down.?

P23 - 03:44選中貼圖拖動(dòng)下來(lái)。?

Notice this highlight that shows up when I'm directly above any of these two folders. That means this layer will be placed inside that group.?

P23 - 03:53被重置在被高光的組里。?

If you let go, you'll see it's now at the Top of it. By the way, it doesn't matter if the group is collapsed or expanded.?

P23 - 03:59組隱藏或拓展無(wú)所謂。?

The same thing applies either way. Okay, let me go back.?

P23 - 04:02都是重置在高光組。?

in previous versions of photoshop. When you did the same thing, the layer would go to the bottom of that folder.?

P23 - 04:10圖層會(huì)在文件夾的底部。?

If you want that to happen, hold shift, click and drag. Now this vignette is the last layer inside this group.?

P23 - 04:17按shift拖拽在該組的末層。?

So remember, if you simply reposition it, it's going to go on Top.?

P23 - 04:22簡(jiǎn)單的重置，回到頂部。?

If you hold shift and you drag it above any folder, it will be placed at the bottom of the stack. ?

P23 - 04:28按shift拖拽到底部。?

Of course, nothing prevents you from dragging it in any position whatsoever. If you have the group expanded.?

P23 - 04:33一組內(nèi)你可以拖拽到任何位置。?

by manually doing so, you get complete control. Notice this horizontal line that shows you between which two layers. This is going to be placed.?

P23 - 04:43拖拽到兩條線之間可以放置部分。?

That's all fine. But let me complicate things. Say I want to reposition this vignette underneath my mask there. It's a simple, right? Just drag it down. Well, here's the thing.? I’ll drag it and i'll see this highlight. So far. So good. When I let go, can you tell if this is inside the group or outside it??

P23 - 05:04本組末，上組開(kāi)頭，分辨組內(nèi)外。?

If you want to be sure, collapse this folder? As you see, it's outside it. Let me go back and repeat the very same process. I look for the highlights and drop it. Let's do our test. Ok. Now it's inside. I know this is tricky to get, but it all depends on how you drop it. If you move your mouse downwards, it's going to be outside it. If you move your mouse up, you will place it inside.?

P23 - 05:27移動(dòng)上高光內(nèi)部，下高光外部。?

This is one of those few cases where you have to try it for yourself. You have this PSD attached. So see if you get the idea. And with that, we finish this lecture. Please practice a bit, because coming up next. There's an exercise where you have to go through loads of layers and perform various tasks quickly.?

P23 - 05:46下節(jié)課下載更多PSD文件。?

And I want you to be prepared for it.?

?

3.7. EXERCISE Layer Dexterity

P24 - 00:00?

?Experiencing. I hope you're ready for an exercise, because this is going to test your skills up until this point.?

P24 - 00:11考驗(yàn)技術(shù)的時(shí)候了。?

Open the PSD file that you have attached to this lecture. And you'll see it's pretty hectic. We have layers all over the place. Nothing is labeled. There are a few groups, but they are randomly created.?

P24 - 00:21隨機(jī)創(chuàng)建的幾組。?

Overall. It's a mess. Here’s your task. I want you to select, move and group all these layers based on their color.?

P24 - 00:29基于顏色選擇移動(dòng)所有圖層遮罩。?

There's five types in total, yellow, teal, green, white, pink.?

P24 - 00:34黃 青 綠 白 粉。?

You have to do four things. efficiently select them however you want to do that, group them into individual folders, labeled them with their respective color, and move them in a separate side of the canvas.?

P24 - 00:46圖層中歸類(lèi)，畫(huà)布中畫(huà)片。?

This means you should have all the yellow layers in the Top left of the canvas, teal in the Top right. Same thing for the bottom sides. And the 5th one should be placed in the middle.?

P24 - 00:55左黃頂，右青頂，五居中。?

What’s important is, you have five folders in total at the end that are properly labeled and these layers are separated from all the other colors.?

P24 - 01:045標(biāo)簽文件夾，其它顏色分離。?

This activity will take you around 5 to 7 minutes to complete, depending on your approach.?

P24 - 01:09依據(jù)你適合方法5-7分鐘完成。?

Here are a few tips. You'll have to zoom in and out, because some of these layers are particularly tricky.?

P24 - 01:15進(jìn)進(jìn)出出的反復(fù)觀看。?

You shift to select multiple layers together, review your cheat sheets, and identify which selecting techniques are best suited for the job.?

P24 - 01:23快捷鍵清單，哪一個(gè)適合工作。?

You can use the existing groups or you can discard them and create new ones. ?

P24 - 01:27可以用存在的組，也可以用新組。?

Of course, it's up to you. If you want to focus on the layers panel. Or if you want to work on the canvas area alone, it's important you time yourself because i'd like you to repeat this exercise.?

P24 - 01:37重復(fù)訓(xùn)練，每次訓(xùn)練計(jì)時(shí)。?

see how well you do as you try again, please stop the course and get to it. ?

P24 - 01:42按下暫停，繼續(xù)測(cè)試。?

In the next video. I'll show you how I solve this task, but please try it out for yourself. Otherwise you're not going to get the most out of it.?

P24 - 01:49自己測(cè)試否則體驗(yàn)不到心得。?

Post your time in the comments section the first time you do it. ?

P24 - 01:52第一次操作花了多少時(shí)間。?

Let’s have a little friendly competition between you and the other students and see who's faster.?

P24 - 01:56比一比誰(shuí)花費(fèi)時(shí)間最短。?

Please be fair and don't lie about your results. That's not gonna help anyone.?

P24 - 02:00誠(chéng)實(shí)別撒謊。?

OK. Good luck.

?

3.8. Solution Layer Dexterity

P25 - 00:01?

?Solution for layered ecstasy. Hi, how did you do this exercise? Did you post your time in the comments section? I hope you did, because I'm really curious how you handled it your first time around.?

P25 - 00:11好奇第一次操作什么體驗(yàn)。?

Now let me explain how i'd approach it.?

P25 - 00:14我演示下我做的方案。?

First, I toggle all the visibility of each group, so I can see if there is any help.?

P25 - 00:18開(kāi)始開(kāi)關(guān)各組可見(jiàn)度。?

As I see it, it doesn't seem like it.?

P25 - 00:20看起來(lái)相關(guān)度不高。?

So next i'll select all these layers with CTRL ALT A.?

P25 - 00:24Alt A控選圖層。?

Then i'll right click on a group. And from this list, i'll hit ungroup layers.?

P25 - 00:29解除圖層組。?

That's because these folders are absolutely useless. And i'd rather create some myself.?

P25 - 00:34看到?jīng)]用的想自己創(chuàng)建。?

Here's where you have lots of options. The slow method is to start from the Top of the layers panel on Toggle each layers’ visibility. ?

P25 - 00:42最慢方案從頂部開(kāi)始打開(kāi)可見(jiàn)度。?

After you recognize it on the canvas, you can rename it green, or whatever color it is.?

P25 - 00:47用顏色命名。?

This will take ages. So here's my approach. First i'll select my background layer by control clicking it.?

P25 - 00:54選中畫(huà)布背景。?

next. I'll lock it.?

P25 - 00:56鎖定圖層。?

This will allow me to drag across and get several difficult items.?

P25 - 00:59拖拽到幾個(gè)困難的項(xiàng)目。?

I'll choose any color, let's say yellow, because it seems easier.?

P25 - 01:04舉例子選黃色圖層。?

I'll hold CTRL and select this heart layer.?

P25 - 01:07C選中心圖層。?

Next. I'll keep holding down the CTRL key, but i'll also add shift. And now I have 4 out of 6 yellow layers.?

P25 - 01:15Shift控點(diǎn)擊選中4黃圖層。?

This one is transparent, and it's overlapping with this white circle.?

P25 - 01:18透明黃色和白色重疊。?

So I have to be a bit careful. I'll click in that region. But if I want to check which layer I selected, i'll move them a bit to the side. Ok? It seems this is not Ok.?

P25 - 01:26把選中的組移動(dòng)。?

So i'll undo with CTRL z. with both modifier keys held down. I'll click again on the circle this time on its bottom half, so I can easily be selected.?

P25 - 01:38z控重做，解除選擇。?

Now i'll switch to the zoom tool by pressing z. I'll go in much closer. And now I can click again on this icon.?

P25 - 01:45z足夠近觀。?

Please don't let go of the CTRL and shift keys. Otherwise, you lose your four layers, and you'll wind up with just this one. Ok.?

P25 - 01:52shift控不撒手，避免漏掉。 ?

Now I have five.?

P25 - 01:56這樣就選中5個(gè)黃色。?

Let me zoom out with control one, and i'll get the last yellow icon from the left side.?

P25 - 02:001控退出，選中左側(cè)黃色。?

Great stuff. use CTRL G. And we have our first group.?

P25 - 02:05G控，這樣有了第一組。?

Let me rename it to yellow. Of course, we're not done. We've selected and grouped them, but we also have to move them into a separate area on the canvas.?

P25 - 02:14移動(dòng)分開(kāi)的區(qū)域到畫(huà)布上。?

Let's place all these layers in the Top left, open your folder and move them one by one in that region.?

P25 - 02:20移動(dòng)到左側(cè)頂部。?

This is why this exercise has dexterity in the title. It's not particularly hard, but you have to be fast with your hands. ?

P25 - 02:26足夠靈活敏捷。?

Now we'll move to the teal color, start with the biggest shapes, for example, this circle. But this time, let's increase our time by repositioning each layer as we select it.?

P25 - 02:37從圓圈開(kāi)始，從重置開(kāi)始。?

So i'll pick it up with the control click technique, and i'll drag it to the Top right corner of my canvas.?

P25 - 02:43移動(dòng)到右側(cè)頂部。?

The rest of these items are fairly big, so we won't have any issues with them. Select and repositioned them as fast as you can.?

P25 - 02:50剩下大的圖標(biāo)盡可能迅速合并。?

It goes without saying that you should keep one hand on your keyboard and one on your mouse. ?

P25 - 02:54一手鍵盤(pán)一手鼠標(biāo)。?

This is done, but they're not grouped.?

P25 - 02:59但是沒(méi)用分組。?

Not a problem. I'll hold CTRL and drag a shape like so, anything will get selected.?

P25 - 03:05控圈選。?

And there you go. I have almost 60 layers highlighted in the layers panel. control G to create a new group and rename it to tail.?

P25 - 03:14G控創(chuàng)建新組命名。?

Of course, you could have done the same thing without locking your background layer. But that would have required a few extra clicks here and there.?

P25 - 03:20鎖定背景層，點(diǎn)擊。?

Don't feel bad. If you didn't do it this way. It's not important at this point.?

P25 - 03:23沒(méi)想到這方法別沮喪。?

This white layer poses a Challenge. I'm not sure if you see it. But here we have a very tiny period symbol. In most cases, i'd suggest you zooming really close and click on it.?

P25 - 03:35白色點(diǎn)，放大很接近才看見(jiàn)。?

But let's take advantage of our locked background layer. ?

P25 - 03:37利用好鎖定的背景。?

I’ll hold control and i'll make this shape.?

P25 - 03:41控圈選。?

There you go. Easy. Now I can place it in the middle of the canvas.?

P25 - 03:44放置畫(huà)布中間。?

I'll speed up the process while I do the same with all these other ones.?

P25 - 03:50用其它的加速進(jìn)程。?

I’ll use the drag selection technique, because it comes in handy in this case.?

P25 - 03:52用選擇工具，這非常靈活。?

Remember, you are always looking for a fast result. You don't want to slave away. By doing unnecessary manual labor.?

P25 - 03:59靈活的而不是辛苦的工作。?

If there is a faster way, use it. No matter if you're working on personal projects or if you're going to use your skills for a paying job, nobody cares, if you spend two minutes or two hours on it.?

P25 - 04:122分鐘2小時(shí)成本，沒(méi)人在乎。?

All counts at the end of the day is your result. And if there's an easier way to do it, why not take advantage of it? Okay. I'm about done with my PSD.?

P25 - 04:19選擇事半功倍的效果。?

Let me know in the comments section how well you did compared to my approach. Did you ungroup those initial layers? How about your background? Did you lock it??

P25 - 04:29有沒(méi)有鎖定背景層。?

Finally? Did you focus more on the canvas or on the layers panel??

P25 - 04:32更專(zhuān)注畫(huà)布還是圖層？?

Okay, i'll see you soon.?

?

3.9. Arrange Images Quickly

P26 - 00:00?

Welcome to this lecture where I will teach you how to arrange images quickly and efficiently.?

P26 - 00:05如何迅速有效的安排圖片。?

Photoshop is built for precision, so you should strive to have a pixel perfect design every time.?

P26 - 00:10像素每次都要精確。?

This, of course means aligning elements precisely, but luckily, we have many tools and features that help us do that.?

P26 - 00:17工具和特征協(xié)助做到。?

In this attach PSD, we have two active rectangles on a canvas, and the 3rd one hidden in the layers panel.?

P26 - 00:24兩個(gè)活動(dòng)長(zhǎng)方形，一個(gè)隱藏面板。?

We will use them to explore all of our options.?

P26 - 00:27用來(lái)探索所有選項(xiàng)。?

First of all, we're going to talk about smart guides, which can be turned on from view show smart guides.?

P26 - 00:37視角-展示-聰明指引。?

Now, if you're on the move tool and grab one of the rectangles, you will see some pink lines appear.?

P26 - 00:39移動(dòng)兩個(gè)，出現(xiàn)粉色線。?

Those who are smart guides, and they help you position everything precisely.?

P26 - 00:42協(xié)助精準(zhǔn)的放對(duì)位置。?

You also sense the element wants to snap into place. And that's really helpful. ?

P26 - 00:47希望卡回到地方，有幫助的。?

If you want to try it. Just make sure you have the smart guys active, and you have two rectangles.?

P26 - 00:52智能線和兩個(gè)矩形。?

Next, we have our guides. Keep in mind, we talked about smart guides. The next ones are just called guides.?

P26 - 00:59智能線和線的區(qū)別。?

To use them when you first have to press CTRL R. Right.?

P26 - 01:04R控調(diào)出線條。?

On the Top and left side, we have these measurements. They themselves are pretty useful. But you can go to the site, click, then drag, and you'll see this sign line appeared,?

P26 - 01:15單純線條拖拽留下痕跡。?

light blue, light, steel, whatever you want to call it.?

P26 - 01:18亮藍(lán)色。?

Again, this snaps into place. For example, if I want to place it in the middle of the rectangle, all I have to do is make sure that layers is active in the layers panel. Then as I drag, you will feel photoshop not due to where the center is.?

P26 - 01:30圖層高亮，拖動(dòng)線條居中。?

This works both horizontally and vertically. This allows you to take all the guesswork out of it.?

P26 - 01:37水平垂直的都可以用上。?

If you want even more precision, you can go to view new Guide. From here. You can specify exactly where you want your guy to be. Just put in a number and press. Ok, great stuff. ?

P26 - 01:48視角-指導(dǎo)線，輸入數(shù)據(jù)。?

I want to remind you that you shouldn't try to work along at first. Please watch this lecture once without any interruptions. Try to understand what's going on and the logic behind it.?

P26 - 01:57來(lái)龍去脈背后的邏輯。?

Then please rewind from the start and work along, pause as often as you need to and complete the exercise.?

P26 - 02:03該暫停時(shí)暫停完成作業(yè)。?

Don't try to match the speed shown in the video. Hit the space bar key while you perform the necessary steps.?

P26 - 02:09沒(méi)必要匹配課程速度。?

This is the best way to learn. Let’s continue. If you want to hide them to avoid distractions, press CTRL semicolon or you can go to view show. And here you can select guides.?

P26 - 02:22分號(hào)控=視角-展示-引導(dǎo)線。?

Please also note that if you are on the move tool, you may accidentally misplace a Guide,?

P26 - 02:26移動(dòng)狀態(tài)容易放錯(cuò)指導(dǎo)線。?

as you can see when I hover over one of them. The icon changes.?

P26 - 02:30鼠標(biāo)變成放大鏡。?

for that, Photoshop offers the ability to lock your guides with control Alt semi colon.?

P26 - 02:36Alt分控，鎖定指導(dǎo)線。?

Now, no matter how much I hover over it, they won't move.?

P26 - 02:39無(wú)論如何移動(dòng)指導(dǎo)線不動(dòng)。?

They can still be hidden with controls semicolon, but you can't move them by accident.?

P26 - 02:44分號(hào)控隱藏線，依舊不能動(dòng)。?

When you want to unlock, just press CTRL ALT semicolon again.?

P26 - 02:47alt分號(hào)控解鎖線。?

Finally, let's talk about this section up Top next to the show transform controls.?

P26 - 02:53講述變形控制。?

These are the alignment tools, and they help us arrange things fast. The alignment tools always need at least two elements selected in order to make an adjustment.?

P26 - 03:02兩個(gè)圖層選中，調(diào)節(jié)工具調(diào)整。?

Here When we have only one layer elected, all tools are closed, because we're missing the second one. That's the condition. ?

P26 - 03:09只有一圖層選中，排列不起作用。?

In case you're using upwards, one layer is enough. But here we'll focus on the normal canvas mode.?

P26 - 03:15向上模式一圖層夠了。畫(huà)布模式。?

When we select the entire canvas with control a, we now have two elements, and this entire region lights up.?

P26 - 03:23A控選擇兩個(gè)圖層。?

Not all of it, because for this other part, we need at least three elements selected.?

P26 - 03:28其它部分選三個(gè)元素。?

Notice we don't have two different layers. A selection is considered an element, too.?

P26 - 03:32有時(shí)候選擇也是一種元素。?

So photoshop shows the available options. Since the main condition of having at least two elements selected is met. ?

P26 - 03:39主要至少兩個(gè)元素被選擇。?

Before we continue, I have to tell you that your photoshop version is important in this case.?

P26 - 03:44版本也非常重要。?

in CC 2019. Adobe decided to change the order of these tools. What you see in the options bar is the new way moving forward.?

P26 - 03:52選項(xiàng)欄就是迭代的標(biāo)志。?

But let's switch to a previous version. It doesn't matter if it's from six months ago or six years ago.?

P26 - 03:596年/月前的舊版本。?

This is how the alignment tools were laid out. I know you may not see a big difference. So let me show you both sets, one on Top of each other. ?

P26 - 04:06給你展示新舊版本的不同。?

So these are the new alignment tools.?

P26 - 04:09新舊對(duì)齊工具。?

And this is the old set. What's important is you remember their respective icons or names and not their position.?

P26 - 04:17記住徽標(biāo)的名字而不是位置。?

So don't think about the second icon or the 5th icon. Instead learn them visually or by remembering their names.?

P26 - 04:24記住特征和名字。?

Okay? Let's see them in action. Align left edges will move our layer to the left edge of the canvas.?

P26 - 04:30移動(dòng)到左側(cè)邊緣。?

Align horizontal centers places it in the middle,?

P26 - 04:33水平對(duì)齊居中放置。?

by the way, to see their names. Just hover over any icon for a couple of seconds.?

P26 - 04:37鼠標(biāo)停留兩秒鐘可以看到名字。?

This will reveal a tool tip, and that's how you can remember their names.?

P26 - 04:41這就需要你記住名字。?

Finally align, right edges does exactly what you think it does. It moves the layer to the right side of the screen.?

P26 - 04:47右移貼附右邊。?

Right. So far we've used them on two elements, layer and selection. ?

P26 - 04:52用圖層和選擇兩個(gè)元素。?

But let's deselect with control D and see how these tools work with two rectangles selected.?

P26 - 04:59接下來(lái)看兩個(gè)圖層如何選擇。?

I'll use the next set. Align top edges, looks at both layers, and it uses the one that is higher on the canvas as a reference point.?

P26 - 05:06目前選中兩個(gè)圖層。?

And there you got this other layer was raised up. What's great is that you can use a line Top edges with confidence. And there you go. and you know this layer that is placed higher on the canvas won't budge.?

P26 - 05:16你知道圖層高亮在面板不動(dòng)。?

On the other hand, if I move to the next commander line, vertical centers, both layers are going to be moved equally.?

P26 - 05:24兩個(gè)圖層居中并排。?

As you can see, it's less predictable, but it's still a fantastic tool.?

P26 - 05:29不可預(yù)測(cè)但是有趣的工具。?

Please be aware. This works on a regular shapes or any type of layer, not just rectangles.?

P26 - 05:33常規(guī)工具圖層，并不是矩形。?

Finally, if we reset, we can use align bottom edges. In this case, the layer is lower on the canvas will be used as a reference.?

P26 - 05:42低于畫(huà)布的底部線是法線。?

Mind you, the stacking order in the layers panel does not matter.?

P26 - 05:45圖層重疊順序不重要。?

I want to take a moment to mention I use the alignment tools in all projects around the clock. It's essential you learn how to use them. Right? Let's continue.?

P26 - 05:55給出方便記憶的圖。?

moving on. To distribute vertical centers, we need to have three elements selected.?

P26 - 06:01中心分布，三個(gè)選擇元素。?

So i'll reveal my 3rd layer from this panel. This allows you to stack your three layers, but keep the same distance between them on the y axis or vertically.?

P26 - 06:10垂直保持三個(gè)階梯距離。?

See how they are equally spaced out between themselves. This is helpful in all sorts of situations.?

P26 - 06:16看看彼此之間均分情況。?

Same thing when we move over to distribute horizontal centers. this gives us the same space on the x axis,?

P26 - 06:22X居中并且均分。?

you can repeat that a few times until you get the hang of it. I know this seems like a lot of tools, but their icons really tell their story.?

P26 - 06:30徽標(biāo)記錄調(diào)整的歷史。?

Plus, if you get it wrong, just undo with CTRL z and try again. ?

P26 - 06:33Z控可以重做。?

You’ll get them in no time. We're not done with these alignment tools, but let me take this opportunity to show you another helpful feature.?

P26 - 06:41看另一個(gè)有幫助的特征。?

When you have one layer selected, hold down the CTRL or command key. This will show you the distance between your layer and the edges of your canvas.?

P26 - 06:49圖層畫(huà)布邊緣距離。?

This enables you to have pixel perfect precision.?

P26 - 06:52精確的像素計(jì)算。?

Plus, if you hover over another there, you will get the measurements between the two.?

P26 - 06:58如果移動(dòng)另一圖層，看到距離。?

This is absolutely fantastic. with it. You can check the efficiency of these alignment commands. Let's check it out vertically.?

P26 - 07:04檢測(cè)垂直對(duì)齊狀況。?

As you can see. It's very precise. Now let's see it in action horizontally. Feel Free to hover over several layers as well as the canvas itself. So you get your bearings.?

P26 - 07:17檢測(cè)垂直距離。?

This is a great feature. I personally use all the time. Some other important things to know. Say we have these two shapes positioned exactly as we want them, except we need them in the exact middle of the canvas.?

P26 - 07:30如果都居中的兩個(gè)圖層。?

If we have them both selected and press a line horizontal centers, they'll center among themselves.?

P26 - 07:35居中對(duì)齊。?

If I have both layers selected, and we select the entire canvas with CTRL A, and then hit the same a line horizontal centers, the shapes will be in the center of the canvas, but they lose their previous positioning.?

P26 - 07:47A控畫(huà)布居中，丟失原位置。?

to make sure you keep them as they are. You have to first group the two layers with CTRL G.?

P26 - 07:54G控打組固定位置。?

Now you have two things selected. The canvas and the group.?

P26 - 07:58畫(huà)布和組都被選中。?

use a line horizontal centers. And there you go.?

P26 - 08:00這樣不丟失原來(lái)位置。?

Make sure you really understand what I just did. This is a major point you have to get before you move forward. That's the basics of the alignment tools. They are very useful in every single project you make, so make sure you fully understand them before moving forward.?

P26 - 08:14充分理解原理。?

So when you need to place several layers smack bang in the middle of the canvas, you first need to group them. ?

P26 - 08:21移動(dòng)前要打組。?

Otherwise the shapes will reposition among themselves, as you see here.?

P26 - 08:25否則各自居中。?

That's because photoshop considers them to individual layers, which they actually are.?

P26 - 08:29因?yàn)镻S認(rèn)為單獨(dú)圖層的居中。?

If you look at the layers panel, but if you group them, this changes everything.?

P26 - 08:34打組后一切都變了。?

Press CTRL A to select the entire canvas, too.?

P26 - 08:38A控選擇畫(huà)布。?

Photo shop now sees two things. This group is one element, and your selection is the second one.?

P26 - 08:44打組的圖層，畫(huà)布，共兩個(gè)。?

Now these tools work as expected. Okay. This wraps up this lecture. Please practice and see how well you do. I use shapes because it's easier to get, but this skill comes in handy. When you want to work with images or other graphical elements, have fun.
