CHAPTER 1 20
A Quick Tour of Adobe Photoshop
You can now continue working from this version
of the image. All changes past Fade Angled Strokes
will be deleted, and new changes will be recorded
in their place.
Next you’ll try out a gradient fill to “paint” or
blend between two colors on the background of
the image.
11 Choose Window > Show Swatches, and click a
blue swatch to set your foreground color. Then
double-click the linear gradient tool (
), and in
the Gradient Tool Options palette choose
Foreground to Transparent for the gradient, 30%
for the opacity, and Multiply for the mode.
12 Drag the gradient tool from the top left to the
bottom right corner of the background to set the
beginning and end of the gradient.
13 Choose File > Save.
Retouching
Adobe Photoshop provides a full range of tools for
retouching images, including dodge and burn
tools, as well as features for adjusting color, tone,
contrast, hue, and saturation. You’ll use a few of
these tools to do some basic color correction and
editing on an image.
1
Click Layer 2 in the Layers palette to make it
active.
2
To set the basic contrast and tonal range
between the highlights and shadows in the horn,
choose Image > Adjust > Levels.
3 In the dialog box, select the Preview option and
then drag the left and right triangles inward to
where the first spikes of the dark and light ends of
the histogram’s color range begin.
4
Click OK to apply the changes and extend the
tonal range of the image.
Notice that the midtones in the horn are still not
right; they need to be more red. To correct the
color, you’ll use the Color Balance command.
5
Choose Image > Adjust > Color Balance. A
dialog box appears for adjusting the mixture of
colors in the image.
