В танците има толкова много, което може да се изрази с движение. Езикът на тялото е като четката на художник. В танца има цветове, с които танцьорите рисуват своята картина или разказват своята история. Когато наблюдавам един страстен танц понякога имам чувството, че дори долавям ухания като от парфюм, който асоциира определени емоции. Вярвам затова той – танцът, е един от великите похвати на изкуството.

Making of ‘In the Blue Foil’: Photoshop Tutorial

2011-01-11T22:29:00.000-08:00

Making of in the Blue Foil by Nagy Gergo, Hungary

This is my latest work. Its original resolution is 5906 x 4134 px / 70 x 100cm 150 dpi, and it was made using Wacom and Photoshop CS4.

I had several reference photos to the subject. At first I wanted a portrait but the photos had a very composed and direct effect. In the end, I choose this composition because it is spontaneous and life-like. Here you can find a few details of the photo:

First I draw the silhouettes of the main subjects - the relevant lines that help a lot in case of a high-resolution photo.

After this I painted the main patches of the picture using only base colours on layers, separate from the background.

It is important using a 100% opacity hard rounded brush so that the colours underneath do not show through. By this time I had roughly set the composition. After having the main shapes, I perfected the silhouettes.

My general technique that I use for the most part of the picture:

In most cases I paint the tones and colours that indicate the lights and shades right on the layers that include principal colours.

At first, only roughly then I refine it more and more. I find it important in my style that no touch of brush can be seen, for this I use a smudge tool. Then as it starts to reach the final state, I work using brushes with lower and lower opacity. This way I do not develop the picture simultaneously although it is not practical but I am just impatient. :)

Another important method that I use is the masking.

I try to work with a small number of layers to avoid having a big chaos among them. The disadvantage of this is that there are several subjects on one layer.

Masking helps a lot in painting the details. I used this method for example when painting the hands and the stripes of the T-shirt. It also helps a lot in creating backlights.

First I painted the T-shirt without stripes, and then came the stripes, the mask and finally the lights and the shades on the stripes.

After finishing the main subjects, I concentrated on the background and the components that improve the composition. At this point it becomes important that the figures are on a layer separated from the background.

The final phase is the contrast and the correction of colours. I darkened the colours, sharpened the contrast and added some more red to it. Here I used adjustment layer – over the layers.

I hope that I managed to give you some useful pieces of advice from my making. Don’t hesitate to email me your suggestions and queries.

Gold retouching

2011-01-09T05:13:00.000-08:00

Златист ретуш

В този урок ще научим техника за ретуширане. "Златиста кожа"

1. Ето я и снимката която ще използваме: Тя е 529 x 691 pixels и resolution 72 pixels/inch

1:Ще сваля леко към cyan от червения спектър: Ctrl+B

2: Взимате Healing Brush Tool 14 pixels.

Идвате върху лицето и избирате чиста част от текстурата на лицето и чрез задържане на Alt кликва те върху чистата повърхност и вече чрез свободни движения пренасяте мишката върху по видими петна по кожата като клика те и така да се каже леко замазвате.

3: След като скриете по видимите петна вземете Polygonal Laso Tool чрез клавиша L започнете да очертавате селекция около овалът на лицето.

Продължавате така докато затворите селекцията.

Задържате Alt и в инструмента Polygonal Laso Tool се появява минус така очертавате устните, очите, веждите и ноздрите за да ги изключите от селекцията.

4: Ctrl+C и копирате лицето, Ctrl+V пействате копираното от селекцията в нов Layer

За да третираме копираното от селекцията ще заключим маскат

а за да не излизаме от границите и. Нтиснете в Layers панела до Lock: карираното квадратче. Така маската е заключена. Вижда се че съм изключил очите на останалите слоеве за да не се вижда снимката а само маската.

5: Вземете Smudge Tool чрез R със следните настройки:

С плавни и въртеливи движения започвате да заглаждате текстурата на лицето така че да изглежда по подобен начин:

Отключете Layer-а който заключихме и приложете следният филтър: Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur при следните настройки.

Прилагаме и Filter > Noise > Add Noise при следните настройки.

Mожете да направите видим долният Layer и да намалите Opacity на 55%.

Трябва да се получи това. Същото направете и с вратлето.

Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur при следните настройки.

Към този Layer приложете Soft Ligt , Opacity 50

Ще повторим стъпка 7 и за други места по лицето.

Към този Layer приложете Soft Ligt , Opacity 60

8. Сега ще затъмним само по тъмната част на лицето, за по интересно усещане във фотографията. Вземете Brush Tool или бутона B с четка 6 pixels черен цвят и на нов Layer направете следното:

Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur при следните настройки.

Към този Layer приложете Soft Ligt , Opacity 40

9. На нов Layer с Paint Bucket Tool бутон G запълнете със следният цвят ( c69c6c ) и към този Layer приложете Soft Ligt.

10. От до настоящия етап на ретуша запишете файл в .jpg формат. File>Save As

Сега отворете новият файл в Photoshop и Image>Adjustments>Match Color и приложете следните настройки:

11. С инструмента Polygonal Laso Tool селектирайте устните копирйте Ctrl+C и пействайте Ctrl+V.

Върху новият Layer с копираните устни приложете

при следните настройки:

Opacity 60

12. Ctrl+Shift+E сливате двата слоя и накрая ще повдигнем малко веждите. Ctrl+Shift+X и с

Уникално: нарисуваха портрет с iPad

2010-11-09T06:23:00.000-08:00

Портретът, който виждате, изглежда перфектно, но как е направен? С фотокамера? Не. С четка и бои - съвсем не. Всичко е направено с програмата Brushes на Apple-устройството iPad. Авторът на портрета - нюйоркският художник Дейвид Касан, е използвал единствено пръстите си, облечени в ръкавици.
Цялата процедура е отнела 3 часа. Всичко е било записано на видео, впоследствие концентрирано до 7-минутен клип в YouTube (виж по-долу). За броени часове то регистрира близо половин милион визуализации от видео-сървъра.

Mixed media

2010-11-01T16:25:00.000-07:00

Този портрет е смесена техника. Заиграх се с една снимка в която исках да се преобразя на вълк. Това беше първоначалната идея. Оказа се че по интересен персонаж е съседчето и така се получи едно добро портретче.

This portrait is a mixed technique. I used one photography because I want to transform myself in wolf. This was the original idea. But more interesting character was the girl next to me. Finally, it became a good portrait, I think.

Това както виждате е заигравката.

So that's the trial as you can see (?!)

Следва кумчо вълчата метаморфоза.

And this is AN unsuccessful metamorphosis to a wolf.

Вижда се как резнах главата на вълчо и се захванах с червената шапчица.

I removed the head of the wolf and I got with character of the red hat.

Леко уплашена, но с игрива усмивка. Да е жива и здрава бабата която и е изплела такова хубаво и топличко пуловерче.

She is slightly scared, but with a playful smile. Let be alive and healthy her grandmother who is made that nice and warm sweater.

Таня Иванова

2010-06-09T14:30:00.000-07:00

Аз съм Таня Иванова.

Щастливо омъжена за Моята Голяма Любов, от която се роди Нашето Щастие Ивайла.

Ще ви запозная накратко със себе си:

Спомените ми за първите рисунки са смешни и мили. Рисувах с репички по току що измазаната стена в къщата на баба ми......Беше невероятно как вадиш репичка от Земята, миеш я и бързо-бързо правиш кръгчета по бялата варосана стена,а те от розови ставаха лилави, после сини и после.....баба пак мажеше стената!!! Наложи се да ми купуват често блокчета и моливчета за да спасят баба ми! Така де!

Завършила съм Художествената гимназия в гр.Сливен през 1997г. Мои учители по художествен текстил бяха Данелина Косева и Велин Динев. Те ми дадоха пътя в живота. Много ги обичам и благодаря им от сърце!!! Благодаря и на Тодор Терзиев, Галя Докова, Стефан Кънев, Сашо Дойчинов, Йордан Парушев, Петър Кайраков, Лилия Екювска и на майсторките, които бяха все до нас. Заради това, на което ме научиха сега мои картини и пана украсяват домовете не само в България, но и в САЩ, Канада, Франция, Финландия, Германия, Холандия, Русия, Гърция и Турция.

Първата ми изложба беше в гр. Сливен през 1998г. в Каракачанската къща, затова и повечето от картините бяха с мотиви от каракачанските носии. След това гостувах и на Кукления театър с част от тази изложба. След няколко години участия в общи изложби и работа по нашето Черноморие и в Германия реших, че е по-добре да работя това, което искам! Върнах се в гр. Нова Загора и през лятото на 2003г. открих изложбата "ЦВЕТОВЕ". В нея представих проекти за текстилни пана.

Следващата изложба се откри през зимата на 2004г.-"РОДЕНО ОТ СЪРЦЕТО И РЪЦЕТЕ". Подходящо име за изложба със стенни пана и ръчно тъкани гоблени.

През 2005г.в гр. Сливен-в галерия "МАЙ" показах изложба на рисувана коприна и малки текстилни пана, а за празника на жената заедно с Читалищната библиотека в гр. Нова Загора направихме изложба-базар на рисувани шалове - "ЗА ЖЕНИТЕ, С ЛЮБОВ!"

Следващата изложба -"ЕХО ОТ МИНАЛОТО" беше по поръчка на Висше училище - колеж "ТЕЛЕМАТИКА"- гр.Стара Загора. Същата изложба представих и в галерията на гр. Нова Загора.

Учавствам в общи изложби, тъка и рисувам върху дрехи нашите красиви български мотиви и шевици, представени като стенни текстилни пана. Днес декоративните тъкани имат голямо значение при оформянето на интериора. Текстилът в дома изолира, запазва топлината, поглъща шума и омекотява ярката слънчева светлина. Той е връзката между човека и архитектурата, между архитектурата и мебелите, а също така между детайлите на архитектурата. Под термина "текстилни пана" се разбират уникалните изделия за стена, изпълнени във всички техники на килимарството, бродерията, плетенето, ръчното рисуване, батика, апликацията други.

Предназначените за стенна украса текстилни пана трябва да се съобразяват и с размерите на помещението така, че да покриват част от стената, но да не създават впечатление за празнота или за претрупаност. Нужно е да се отдели голямо внимание при избора на цветовете, защото те имат непосредствено психофизиологично и емоционално въздействие върху хората.

Умението да се тъче е предавано от поколение на поколение през вековете. Непрекъснато са овладявани тайните на преплитането на нишките, съчетанието на орнаментите, ритъма и цветовете. Традиционното тъкачно изкуство е все още живо затова не е трудно да се продължи и овладее от младата съвременна жена.

Ето аз успях!

Докато все още не можех да тъка и бях заета с малката си дъщеричка реших, е не е лошо да сбъдна една моя мечта и да направя изложба на тема ’’Пеперуди’’ Потрудих се доста и открих моята девета самостоятелна изложба - ‘’Танцът на пеперудите’’. Тя е четвъртата изложба,която нареждам в галерията на Нова Загора.

През 2007г. се роди дъщеря ни Ивайла и за малко спрях да работя.

От края на миналата година съм се завърнала към обичайните си занимания с тъкането. Последното ми участие беше на Петковден в Нова Загора. Втората национална среща на майсторите на художествени занаяти „Живата традиция – Нова Загора 2009”, нашата Община, фирма „Експо контакт” и участниците реализират тази добра и патриотична идея – да се покажат пред гражданите и гостите на Нова Загора живите стари традиции, като се изложи на показ изкуството на майсторите на художествени занаяти в България. Нашето изложение има точна идея и цел-да пази и показва българските традиции. А това е моят личен призив, като участник в изложението:

''Може всеки да помогне за запазването и обогатяването им като опитаме заедно да оставим след себе си нещо, както са направили нашите предци! Пазете традициите! Предавайте ги на вашите деца, внуци и правнуци! Ако не сте преживели поне веднъж това, не допускайте те да не го преживеят!''

Birthday Gift

2010-03-30T05:06:00.000-07:00

Когато искате да направите по специален подарък, наистина един портрет може да свърши прекрасна работа.

When you want to make a special gift, a portrait really can do a wonderful job.

За целта имате снимка с относително качество, която прави предизвикателството още по голямо.

For the purpose, you have a picture with relatively quality, that makes the challenge more greater.

Нека да започваме.

Let.s go.

Фиксирах снимката с завъртане за да е по добре композирана.

I fixed with rotation the picture for the better composition.

Работих в формат А4 което отговаря 210 x 297 милиметра / 300 dpi, тъй като творбата ще е за печат.
I worked in format A4, that is 210 x 297 mm / 300 dpi, because this work will be for printing.

Ще покажа няколко етапа които не са точно стъпка по стъпка.

I will show you some stages, wich are not exactly step by step.

Скицата е първа. После оцветявам само с хомогенни цветове.

The sketch is first. Then is coloring only with homogeneity colors.

За бекграунд използвах интересна текстура, с еднакви елементи.

For the background I used an interesting texture with same elements.

Променил съм цвета и след това използвах четка, която добре имитира щрих.

I changed the color and then I use the brush, which imitate better stroke.

За дрехата използвах текстура от плат.

For the clothing I used fabric texture.

Работата върху косата е на няколко етапа.

Препоръчвам ви следните уроци:

Foxbane

Abuze

jezebel

Work on the hair have a few steps. I recommend you the following lessons:

Foxbane

Abuze

jezebel

Ето етапите:

Heare are the steps:

Basic brushes взех твърда четка (B) и й зададох следните настройки(F5):

За Other Dynamics / Opacity Jitter 0% , Control: Pen Pressure, Flow Jitter 0%, Control: Pen Pressure. Отметката на Smoothing e с настройки по подразбиране, така че там не е нужна допълнителна настройка в случая. При Brush Tip Shape единствената настройка е на Spacing 1%. Диаметърът на четката, който съм използвал в случая е 30 px, но това можете да променяте според нуждата ви (най-удобно е с квадратните скоби или от плъзгача). Какво прави Spacing с четката? Тя прави плавен преход от хомогенно цветово нанасяне към понижаващо се процентно остатъчно цветово нанасяне. Ако увеличите процента Spacing, ще забележите в какво се изразява това. Отблясъците на косата са напражени с инструмента Dodge tool.

I take from brushes sets, basic brushes, a hard brush (B) and I put in to her (F5) the following settings:

For the Other Dynamics / Opacity Jitter 0% , Control: Pen Pressure, Flow Jitter 0%, Control: Pen Pressure. The tick on Smoothing is with default settings, so there is no need some settings. For Brush Tip Shape setting is only 1% of Spacing. The diameter of the brush that I used is 30px, but you can modify this (most comfortable is with brackets or slider). What makes Spacing with the brush? She made a smooth transition from homogeneous color coating to lower the percentage residual color coating. If you increase the percentage Spacing, you will see what is change. The glare of hair are made with Dodge tool.

За допълнително въздействие на бекграунда добавих и следната текстура:

For additional impact of the backgrounds I added and the following texture:

За колие избрах елфически стил от Ellygator
For the necklace I chose elvish style from Ellygator

Ето етапите:

Heare are the steps:

Naruto Influence

2010-03-05T05:59:00.000-08:00

Здравейте фенове. Искам да ви представя един нов блог който създадох наскоро. Кръстих го Naruto Influence и във входящата страница пояснявам защо. За тези които обичат анимация, съм сигурен че ще ви допадне. Там можете да видите моите първи стъпки в пиксел арта с творби посветени на Наруто. За онези които пък са родители препоръчвам да не избързвате с учудването защо човек като мен все още се вълнува от подобен род занимание. Конкретно тази анимация изгради една много специфична връзка с моя син която не искам да загубя. Синът ми е щастлив да споделя вълненията относно анимето с баща си и да получава подобаваща ответна реакция.

Спомням си как в фирмата която работих като графичен дизайнер колегите обичаха приятелски да се шегуват с мен че гледам аниме като Наруто, но разбира се аз не им останах длъжник и това роди отмъщението на художника. Преобразих ги в герои от анимето.

За онези които обичат да рисуват вътре ще намерите както уроци за рисуване така и историята на това как е създадена и нарисувана мангата Наруто. Мисля че това ще бъде мотивираща история за всеки който има мечти. Блога е с приятен и не натоварващ дизайн, зная че много деца ще го посещават, но и вие родители или бъдещи такива сте добре дошли в това пространство. Блогът тепърва предстои да се развива и съм отворен за всякаква помощ и съвети.

Забавни flash игри, фен арт, някой български линка по темата. Тепърва ще ви запозная и с невероятния свят на пиксел арта посветен на Наруто.

Наруто все още продължава да вълнува феновете, с повече от 484 глави. Продажби с повече от 71 милиона копия само в Япония. Повярвайте в целия свят са неизброимо количество. Всичко свързано с анимето се продава като топъл хляб. Определено е полезно да видите как едно дете което мечтае да създава комикси (Масаши Кишимото) родено в определено бедно семейство в момента е изкючително известен и богат автор на най продаваната манга за нашето време. Наруто е вече огромна индустрия.

Наруто е също така адаптиран в успешни аниме серии, гледани по цял свят от милиони фенове. прочетете повече>>

Photoshop-a през годините

2010-01-28T22:32:00.000-08:00

Adobe Photoshop е един от най-добрите професионални софтуери за фотографи, графични и уеб дизайнери, предназначен за работа с графики. Той е идеално решение за тези, които искат да редактират професионално фотографии или да създават качествени уеб графики и сайтове.

Как започва всичко?

Всичко започва през 1987г., когато Томас Кноу (Thomas Knoll), ученик в университетъ Мичигън, създава програма за Mac наречена Display. Програмата привлича вниманието на брата на Томас, Жон Кноу (John Knoll), който препоръчва на Томас, да превърне своята програма, в програма за редактиране за изображение. Томас Кноу решава да прекъсне образованието си и да обединят усилията си. В резултат на сериозната им работа те създават програма за обработка на снимки наречена ImagePro.

По-късно Томас преименува програмата си на Photoshop и подписва краткосрочен договор с производител (Barneyscan XP)за разпространяване на копия от програмата със техните скенери. През това време, Джон заминава за Silicon Valley и дава демонстрация за програмата на инженери от Apple
Computer Inc.както и на директорът на Adobe – Ръсел Браун.Двете презентации били успешни, и Adobe решават да закупят разрешителното от двамата братя, което да се даде през Септември,1988. Докато Джон работи върху плъгини в Калифорния, Томас останал в Ан Арбор(Ann Arbor) написвайки програмен код. Photoshop 1. 0 стартира през 1990 за
Macintosh.

Woot, another process works for your delightment.

So, the premise of this piece: After months of decent work streaks with Imagine FX magazine, they decided that I was up for a new challenge - the cover. They sent me a notice and I took it up. This work was and is to date my most paid single piece work (I'm not gonna disclose any numbers), and my most extensive work, taking up more than 40 hours in total.

But like any other professional works, the commissioner was very picky and precise since real money was on the line, not just on the commission fee side, but on sales return as well.

Okay, so let us begin then.

Warning: This work is fucking massive. Around 60 steps overall, and to this date it occupies 12 gigs on my backup drives.

Combining traditional & digital

2009-11-04T16:07:00.000-08:00

Learn how to combine traditional pencil and ink on paper techniques with the vast abilities of digital tools. By Adi Granov

Modern computer programs such as Photoshop and Painter, and accessories like Wacom tablets, have made the world of digital art near boundless. However, there are certain limits even to these powerful tools. Although most techniques and textures can be effectively replicated digitally, the process of creating them is sometimes artificial, forced, and often unnecessarily time consuming when we consider that they are inherent and natural traits of the traditional materials. It is these natural traits that I strive to preserve in my own art while combining them with the limitless choices of digital colours. The digital tools also offer the luxury of experimenting without the fear of ruining precious artwork.

In this tutorial I will explain the technique which has, over many years of trial and error, evolved into a very effective method for creating painted illustrations through the digital colouring of traditional artwork. This technique preserves all the textures and analogue feel of the original artwork.

I like to keep my technique simple and straightforward and rely on my skills and artistic choices, rather than tools, to dictate the outcome. As you will see from the tutorial, I tend to stay away from most of the advanced options of Photoshop and stick with the more basic features. This not only keeps the process streamlined, but it also sets certain limitations on the tools that preserve the purity and spontaneity which can often be lost in overworking.

While the technique is advanced and requires strong understanding of light, shadow and colour, it only requires moderate knowledge of Photoshop.

Myroslav Yotov

2009-10-14T03:02:00.000-07:00

Friends and colleagues, let me introduce you to my friend Miyoslav Outstanding talent who uses classical media.

BIOGRAPHY

Miroslav Stefanov Jotov – Cirk was born on the 26th of July 1977 in Isperih, Bulgaria.

Miroslav Jotov or Cirk as he is fondly known to his friends is an enterprising and versatile young artist whose work and scope embraces an amalgam of styles that highlight his unique individualism and view of the world. His style is unique – because of its Bulgarian accent and emotion, the brush strokes are well articulated and on occasions lustful, as if he is trying to seduce the viewer. This particular idiosyncrasy has won him accolades and admiration from his peers, critics and connoisseurs.

He has participated in several exhibitions in Bulgaria including major ones in Shumen, Isperih and Divdiadovo. His paintings are well sort after by the discerning connoisseurs, young professionals and entrepreneurs with a sophisticated taste for vibrant and captivating colours and that unique Balkan perspective.

His still life paintings can only be properly described as enigmatic. One can not fail to notice that his work in this area often accentuate the background in which they are set – tranquillity juxtaposed against a vivid and energising backdrop. Miro’s paintings remind me of the great Bulgarian landscape dotted with sleepy villages and are quintessentially Balkan and traditional. It is his acceptance of tradition as a foundation that serves as catalyst or launch pad for his modern and liberal contributions to art.

His major works include large personal spaces in both residential and commercial buildings. He has won prestigious prizes amongst which was a first place in art exhibition in Shumen in 2005. His first individual exhibition was held in the same city on 16th of March 2006. Further exhibitions were held in several parts of Bulgaria including his home town of Isperih.

His recent projects include exhibitions in Holland and Belgium. Miros’s paintings are captivating, passionate and vibrant. The viewer or connoisseur is drawn into a skilfully articulated presentation, sharp and concise – telling a story and allowing you to have a soul searching moment or a debate about your cognitive perception of his work. Above all, Miro gives you the opportunity and the rare luxury to have your own interpretation of his paintings – and that is a holistic achievement!!

Organize Your Brushes!

2009-09-20T00:23:00.000-07:00

By Stefania Dinea on March 18, 2009

I’m back again as I promised with a video tutorial about organizing brushes. First of all I have to admit that the brushes presented in the video are downloaded from deviant art (Resources – Applications – Photoshop Brushes). I made this video for people who do not know how to upload, save or organize brushes. I hope you will find it usefull, when I first started to work in Photoshop all I did was play with hue and saturation, levels, contrast and so on, I discovered what brushes can do much more later and I really do regret that I did not know that from the beginning. (P.S. here on the left is a sneak preview of the next tutorial, be sure not to miss it.)

Why organize???

When you’ll be moving to hard core photo editing the last thing you want to spend time on is searching for the brushes you need in the multitude of brushes you have loaded. You should get used to loading only the brushes you need, it will save you a lot of time and energy.

How to organize???

Click on the brush button (keyboard shortcut is B) then rightclick on the working space in the upper side of the box opened you can see an arrow, by clicking it you will open a new set of options, the most important one being Preset Manager. As you can see with this option you can Load, Delete and Save set/sets of brushes.

My suggestion to you all is to play around and see for yourself what each option does, I presented only a few in the video tutorial so don’t be afraid to experiment.

Remember!!!

When you create your own brush (as I did show in the first video tutorial – How to make your own brush) photoshop will not automatically save your brush, if you consider that you want to use that brush in the future make sure you will have it then by saving it right then.

These being sayed, here’s the video, hope you enjoy it and also remeber to stay tuned I have a little surprise for you in the next tutorial .

Using Palettes in Photoshop

2009-08-29T03:21:00.000-07:00

In Photoshop, palettes are used to help modify and monitor your documents. An understanding of how to use, organize, and adjust palettes is essential in learning how to use Photoshop.

The Palettes

In order to show you how big of a role palettes play in Photoshop, simply Press Tab in Photoshop to hide all palettes. Palettes include everything from the toolbox, to the option bar, to the layers and colors windows.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

Arrange palettes
Resize, show and hide palettes
Close, Open, and Reset palettes
Use options inside of palettes

Arranging Palettes

It’s possible to arrange palettes to your personal taste. Doing so can help increase your efficiency by moving your most frequently used palettes to a more accessible part of the screen.

To move a palette to a separate palette group, or into a palette group of its own, drag and drop that palettes tab into another group, or anywhere else in the work area.

To move a palette group, drag the title bar of that palette with your mouse, and release when it is positioned as you see fit.

You can also Dock Palettes to one another by having their upper and lower edges meet one another. When a palette is docked to another, it will snap into place.

Resizing, Showing, and Hiding Palettes

Perhaps you’re working with a palette with a large number of styles, colors, or layers, all of which you like to be accessible at the same time. You can resize many of the palettes by dragging the bottom right corner out to whichever size you prefer.

If you want to hide (minimize) a palette that you’re not currently using to save up on space, simply double click that palettes tab. Likewise, you can expand a minimized tablet by double clicking the tab again.

Closing, Opening, and Reseting Palettes

If you have some tablets open that serve no use to you for your current work, it’s possible to close out of them by clicking the “x” in the top right corner of the palette (On a mac, this will be the typical close button).

If you need to open a new palette, or a palette which you have previously closed, go to Window in your menu bar, and select the palette you’d like to reopen.

If you’re ever having trouble getting your palettes back into place, and simply want to revert to the default palette layout, go to Window > Workspace > Reset Palette Locations in your Menu Bar. This will reset everything back to how you started when you first opened Photoshop.

Setting Options in Palettes

Inside palettes, you’ll find all sorts of various settings from color choices, styles, opacity, and other values. We’ll cover many of these options in detail in the future, but for now let’s go over how to operate some of these options.

Drop-down Menus

To operate a drop-down menu, just click the arrow attached to the menu. A list of available inputs will drop down. Click any of these values to select them.

Sliders

Sliders are operated by grabbing a handle by holding down your mouse button over one, and then dragging to your desired value.

Swatches & Styles

To select a color swatch, or layer style, simply hover over it with your mouse, and click once with your mouse.
