1.10. OPTIONAL Speed up Photoshop

P7 - 00:01 

Hello. If you're like me, you want to get the best performance out of photoshop. In this lecture. I'll show you how you can do that. 

P7 - 00:08给你展示如何提速。 

If you are not interested, feel Free to skip ahead. The first thing you should aim for is 8 to 16 gigabytes of RAM. 

P7 - 00:158-16比特率。 

From my experience, anything over 16 won't do you any good unless you're a professional using the program for a living. 

P7 - 00:21除非你专业，16以下足够了。 

press CTRL or command k. And this will show you your preferences. 

P7 - 00:27K控-指南对话框。 

from this list. On the left side choose performance. 

P7 - 00:29左侧列表选择执行。 

From here, you should increase your memory usage to 60 to 70%, depending on how much you multitask. 

P7 - 00:36多任务60-70%内存使用量。  

If you have a lot of demanding programs running in the background, 

P7 - 00:39如果后台有运行的应用程序。 

you might want to input a lower value. 

P7 - 00:43内存使用量降低。 

The history states refer to the number of times you can undo. I know you may be tempted to bump up this slider, but that will require more juice. My advice is to limit it to 20 or 30 states.  

P7 - 00:54历史修改次数二三十之间。 

On the left side. You may be wondering what this is about. In short, if you use a lot of small layers, use the web /slash UI design option. 

P7 - 01:04左侧选择网站/UI设计选项。 

If you're a photographer who regularly works with huge images, the last one will be your go to choice. 

P7 - 01:09如果你摄影师选择大像素选项。 

If you are somewhere in the middle, the default value is best for you. 

P7 - 01:13折中的选择中间默认。 

I personally use the first option.  

P7 - 01:15我个人选择网站UI设计多一些。 

One of the major boosts you can give to your computer is installing an SSD. 

P7 - 01:22计算机的固态存储空间影响速度。 

Most users, no SSD are considerably faster than regular hard disks. But here's the catch. 

P7 - 01:28比硬盘缓存要重要。 

If you want photoshop to truly benefit from your lightning fast SSD, you have to use it as a scratch disk. that's available immediately under performance.  

P7 - 01:37固态硬盘和暂存磁盘搭配使用。 

Scratch disks are used by photoshop. When you run out of RAM, the more empty space it has, the better. 

P7 - 01:43缓存在用完内存时派上用场。 

That means you're better off installing photoshop and various other programs on your hard drive and keeping your SSD mostly empty in order to use it as a scratch disk.  

P7 - 01:52程序下载在硬盘。缓存盘空出来。 

I know it sounds counter intuitive, but installing photoshop on your SSD won't make a noticeable difference in performance. 

P7 - 01:59在固态硬盘安装PS无明显提速。 

In general, leaving photoshop aside, most SSD perform work as you fill them up. 

P7 - 02:06SSD装的越慢效率越低。 

Some argue that by having it over 50% full, you're slowing it down considerably.  

P7 - 02:10有观点SSD使用过半明显减慢。 

Of course, this varies from brand to brand model to model. 

P7 - 02:15当然依据品牌不同概率有差异。 

I wouldn't worry too much about it. As long as you have at least 20 gigabytes of Free space on your SSD. 

P7 - 02:21建议SSD有20个千兆字节。 

In case you have several partitions, you can enable them by checking their respective boxes. 

P7 - 02:26如果有区分，可以勾选。 

One solid piece of advice is to make sure you have them stacked in the correct order. 

P7 - 02:31保证正确的顺序罗列。 

Click it and use this upper row to change its position to first. 

P7 - 02:36选中，上移箭头改变顺序。 

Let's close this window and open a new project with control N, just take create. Don’t worry about the rest. 

P7 - 02:41新建文件。 

Focus on the bottom left side. from this area. Click and hold this tiny icon. from this list, choose efficiency. 

P7 - 02:53左下右箭头-百分百效能。 

This should ideally show 100%. If the value of the indicator is below 100%. Photoshop was used all available RAM and is using your scratch disk. 

P7 - 03:01效能低于百用尽内存在用缓存。 

That's not ideal, because you're RAM is much faster than your SSD. 

P7 - 03:06内存效率高于固态硬盘。 

Even if you are using a high end model. 

P7 - 03:08纵然你用高端模式。 

if you set your memory usage to anything under 70%, now is the time to increase that value and see if your efficiency changes. If it falls under 90%, you'll start to feel photoshop slowing down. 

P7 - 03:23正常内存70%使用率设置90。 

in this case, and more RAM or close any unnecessary programs or documents. These are my tips for getting the most out of photoshop.  

P7 - 03:30关闭没必要的程序，适用于PS。 

As we go along, you will find more tips about the subject. So stay tuned. 

P7 - 03:33持续关注更多技巧。 

Before you continue with the next lecture. Open photoshop, use CTRL k and make sure your settings are good to go. 

P7 - 03:41保持设置参数正确。 

I'll see you soon.

 

2.1. Introduction

P8 - 00:01 

 Welcome to this section where i'll show you how you can work with an image easily and get results fast. 

P8 - 00:06如何快速有效处理图片。 

We will start by explaining photo shops interface. I know some people consider it overwhelming and intimidating, but after my lecture, you'll see there's nothing complicated about it. 

P8 - 00:16界面经过讲解没啥难的。 

We will continue by customizing our work space. So it will better fit your needs. 

P8 - 00:21最实用的通用工作区。 

Everybody is different. So I want to take a few minutes and show you how you can set photo shop up for yourself. 

P8 - 00:27如何自己搭建PS。 

The fun stuff comes next. Well, show you how you can open an image in six different ways.  

P8 - 00:32用6种方式打开图片。 

I’ll present different scenarios and why some methods are better In certain situations. 

P8 - 00:37不同情景优选不同方案。 

It seems like a straightforward subject, but you'll see you have lots of options for this apparently simple task. 

P8 - 00:43单一案例展示多种方法。 

Once you have a project open, you are bound to want to freely move around inside it, 

P8 - 00:49PS内部打开文件如何移动。 

panning, zooming, switching, viewing modes. 

P8 - 00:52平移 远近 开关 预览。 

Everything is covered. And it's really easy to get. because I'm giving you so many options to open an image and decided to do the same for saving your projects. 

P8 - 01:00打开6方法，保存5方案。 

I'm talking about exporting your work in five different ways. Please don't worry about all these possibilities. 

P8 - 01:07不用刻意记忆方案。 

You don't have to memorize them. As you continue with the course. You will see me go through various scenarios where I present each option yet again. 

P8 - 01:13每次重复操作胜过死记硬背。 

So you learn by watching and working along not by memorizing.  Finally, we have two activities at the end. We'll re size and image both ways. I'll make it tiny, but i'll also blow it up to 300 percent. 

P8 - 01:27用大小重新调整照片。 

Then we'll use the crop tool and cut away any unwanted areas fast and without any effort.  

P8 - 01:33裁剪掉不需要的边角料。 

Finally, you'll see how I straighten an image with only a few clicks. 

P8 - 01:37最后清理整理下图片。 

These are skills you can implement today in your workflow. 

P8 - 01:41工作流中可用的技能。 

So let's get started. 

 

2.2. Use Photoshop’s Interface Efficiently

P9 - 00:01 

Use photoshop interface efficiently. Welcome. Let me show you how easy it is to understand photoshop interface. 

P9 - 00:07如何理解PS界面。 

Let's start the program by double clicking on this PSD that you have attached to this lecture.  

P9 - 00:13打开已经接触到的PSD界面。 

Alternatively, you can drag in any image, or you can just use CTRL N and create any random project. 

P9 - 00:19可以拖拽进照片或N控热键。 

The image isn't relevant. So here we are. And there's lots to look at. Let me break down the interface. 

P9 - 00:26分一部分部分的介绍。 

The most important part is this central area. This is called the canvas, and it's where everything happens. 

P9 - 00:32居中区域名为画布。 

This is where you draw paint design. And it's where you should focus 90% of the time. 

P9 - 00:37绘制设计大部分精力耗费的地方。 

It means it's number one on our list, directly related to it. 

P9 - 00:43直接相关第二个要介绍的。 

We have the layers panel. You can see it on the right side. But in case you don't have it there, go to window layers.  

P9 - 00:48图层栏。窗口-图层。 

Everything you place on the canvas will show up here, 

P9 - 00:52画布上图层在右侧罗列。 

for example. I'll add a circle to my project. immediately. That's going to show up in my layers panel. 

P9 - 00:58比如绘制椭圆，右侧展示了图层。 

You can see it's called Ellipse one, 

P9 - 01:01新图层名为“椭圆一”。 

these are connected. And you can't use one without the other.  

P9 - 01:04都是关联的，不能离开彼此。 

If you think of driving, you can consider the canvas like your windscreen. through it. You can see the most important thing, 

P9 - 01:11画布比喻成车的挡风玻璃看重要。 

the road. In our case, the road is this image. The layers panel is your dashboard, where you can see Information like speed reps, fuel level. 

P9 - 01:22图层面板代表仪表盘车速燃油等。 

in photoshop. Your layers panel acts in a similar way, meaning it provides you with various pieces of Information regarding what's happening on the canvas. 

P9 - 01:28图层面板提供画布各种相关信息。 

In order of their importance. You should always look at what's in front of you on the canvas. 

P9 - 01:34但是你需要看挡风玻璃的内容。 

But you should also glance at your layers panel from time to time to get valuable insight.  

P9 - 01:39但要调整仪表盘找到有价值视角。 

So number one is the canvas closely behind it stands the layers panel. 

P9 - 01:43第一重要的画布，第二重要面板。 

On the left side, you have your toolbox. This area of photoshop should be accessed 90% of the time by using your hotkeys.  

P9 - 01:52左侧工具栏90%都是调动的。 

As we progress, you'll start learning them in no time. In essence, it's more efficient to hit B to enable your brush tool rather than moving your mouse cursor all the way to the left. 

P9 - 02:03B热键调取工具。 

That's because your work area is here on the canvas. And this is where your mouse cursor should be at all times.  

P9 - 02:09鼠标在画布，热键替代移到左侧。 

Continuing. We have at the Top of photoshop, this menu system, which contains all sorts of options and features. 

P9 - 02:17顶部菜单里有选项和特征。 

We use it from time to time, but the most important ones have hotkeys, and it's much faster to use those. Instead of going through these items.  

P9 - 02:24热键替代在菜单中寻找。 

Considering all this, it lands at number four in my book. 

P9 - 02:30上工具栏。 

Immediately underneath it, we have this area called the options bar, which changes constantly depending on what tool you have selected.  

P9 - 02:37选项栏依据选用工具排列组合的。 

Right now I have the move tool active. And I know that because I can see it's icon is pressed. 

P9 - 02:41移动工具被选中，代表活动状态。 

If I click on other tools, notice how this area changes. 

P9 - 02:46左侧换工具，上面工具选项变了。 

Basically, this is your Information zone where you can see and modify the settings for each tool.  

P9 - 02:52每个工具背后的信息不同。 

This is fairly important, but it really depends on the type of work you are doing. Having that in mind, we can place at number five. 

P9 - 03:00接下来第五点。 

To sum it up, we have one the canvas. two the layers panel. three, the tool bar. four the menu system. five, the options bar.  You work with the first three about 90% of the time. 

P9 - 03:16画布 图层 菜单90%在用。 

So don't worry about it. You don't have to memorize anything, because as we work together, you'll start learning them effortlessly. 

P9 - 03:22综合运用时候不费力气。 

That wraps it up. I'll see you in the next lecture. 

 

2.3. Customize Your Workspace

P10 - 00:01 

Hello photoshop is a versatile program that can be used for lots of things. 

P10 - 00:04用途很多。 

because everybody is different. The good guys at Adobe photoshop interface customizable. 

P10 - 00:10一个界面通用。 

all these panels together, make up your work space, and that can be adjusted. Let's see what's what? 

P10 - 00:17工作区域面板可控的。 

first. You can change the colour of the program. Use CTRL key to open up your preferences. 

P10 - 00:23K控打开参考设置。 

from this new window choose interface. In total, you have four color schemes. 

P10 - 00:29界面颜色4种选择。 

Click on any of them, and you'll see the changes immediately. 

P10 - 00:33选择任何一个颜色都会变化。 

I personally prefer the darkest one. 

P10 - 00:36我个人喜欢黑色的。 

under units and rulers. I make sure both drop downs are set to pixels.  

P10 - 00:40单位和标尺下拉菜单选择像素。 

Next i'll open this PSD that is attached to this lecture, just so we can see some of our panels, but you can create a random project just as well. 

P10 - 00:49打开面板创建不同项目。 

Photo shop comes with some work space is already built in. 

P10 - 00:53PS里面本身有工作区域的。 

If we click on this icon in the Top right side, you will see several options, essentials, 3D, graphics web and so on.  

P10 - 01:01右2中，基础3D平面设计。 

Feel Free to click through them. And notice how your interface changes. 

P10 - 01:07不同选项，图层界面不同。 

As you learn more about the program. These might come in handy. I'll go back to essentials. So we can customize our interface together. 

P10 - 01:12回到基础图层，统一化界面。 

in case your photoshop looks different. Let's go to the Top right and hit reset essentials. this way. We'll throw away any changes. 

P10 - 01:22重制基础。恢复出厂设置。 

Okay? All these panels can be detached. The toolbox is placed by default on the left side. 

P10 - 01:27左侧工具栏是默认的。 

If you go to the Top of it, click, hold and drag, you'll see it's now going to detach from that side. 

P10 - 01:34按住顶部拖拽，可以移动面板。 

You can leave it floating about, or you can attach it to the right side, drag it across, and without letting go. move it until you see this blue line show up. 

P10 - 01:44可以悬浮，可吸附到右侧蓝光条。 

This means you can dock it in that position. 

P10 - 01:48可以泊船进坞。 

Let go of your mouse click. And now it's going to stay there unless you move it back. 

P10 - 01:52松开鼠标就固定在右侧。 

I personally don't like it there. So let's do that now. Please note that you have to grab it from this Top section, 

P10 - 01:58注意一定按住面板顶部。 

otherwise it won't detach. This is much better. 

P10 - 02:03还是放左侧顺手。 

regarding the tool bar. You can have it occupy one or two lights. to toggle between states. Click on this small icon. 

P10 - 02:14左侧工具栏一列两列切换按钮。 

As you can see, it now takes up two lines. Personally, I recommend you switch back. 

P10 - 02:17个人建议你切换回一列。 

Now regarding the other panels. They weren't the same as the tool bar, meaning they can be detached or re attached to another zone. Take the library's panel. 

P10 - 02:28这是图书馆面板。 

I currently have it placed on the right side, but say I no longer want it there. 

P10 - 02:31比如不想该面板在右侧如何处理。 

no problem. I can drag it from that position and drop it here.  

P10 - 02:36可以拖拽移动换地方。 

Now it's collapsed and it freed up a lot of space. 

P10 - 02:38就这样折叠起来，腾出很多空间。 

If I want to open it, all they have to do is click here. 

P10 - 02:41如果打开，直接双击按钮。 

And I have other panels in this section. 

P10 - 02:44这样就是右侧的面板。 

These all show up when I use this window menu from up Top. Say I want Glyphs, It just popped up. If that's a mistake, I can click on this small icon. from here. I can choose clothes and it will go away. 

P10 - 03:00窗口字体出现，右键关闭消失。 

Let me enable a few others. If you want to remove them faster, just drag any icons away from this panel and look for the x symbol. But say you don't recognize these icons, say you don't know what panel they're hiding.  

P10 - 03:20拖拽徽标关闭。如果忘记隐藏的。 

Well, if we enable a few other ones, we can now re size this area. Now you can read their names. so you can toggle all the guesswork out of it. Plus, you can always toggle their visibility. Let me show you what I mean. 

P10 - 03:32可以拓宽面板可见标题名。 

I'll enable the character panel. This is something I use on a frequent basis, but sometimes I want it hidden. 

P10 - 03:39点击展开，不常用的隐藏。 

It doesn't make sense to completely remove it. So what I suggest you do is click on its icon. 

P10 - 03:44建议操作按钮。 

Now it's going to be collapsed. 

P10 - 03:46再点按钮弹回去了。 

You're bound to have this column take up this slot. So there's no harm in keeping your panels collapsed inside it.  

P10 - 03:52这样折叠隐藏节省空间的。 

There’s one important thing you have to realize. Space is essential. that more panels you expand, the less area your canvas will occupy. And that's not a great thing. 

P10 - 04:02面板拓展，画布占用率就小了。 

remember. Your canvas is your windscreen, your road. All these panels are supporting elements, 

P10 - 04:10画布是汽车窗户，面板是辅助的。 

then never the hero of your project. So make sure you're picky about what panels should stay expanded. 

P10 - 04:15慎重选择拓展的面板。 

For me, I never used the colour and swatches panel. instead of removing them one by one. Here's what you can do. Click on this tiny icon in the Top right. from this list. Choose close tab group. 

P10 - 04:30右键关闭选项卡组。 

Now both of them went away. Repeat the process with these too. click and press on closed tab group. great stuff.  

P10 - 04:35同理，右键，关闭选项卡组。 

Now the layers panel occupies the entire space. And that's actually what I want. 

P10 - 04:41目前是我想要的空间安排状态。 

regarding our canvass. We can see it surrounded by a dark color. 

P10 - 04:45画布周边被黑框包围。 

Sometimes that's bad news. If you're working on a project with a black background, 

P10 - 04:49如何修改黑色背景呢？ 

here's what you can do. Right click anywhere outside your canvas, and you'll get several options to choose from. 

P10 - 04:56右键，从选项中选择。 

Try some of them out and see if there are more to your liking. What's nice is that you can input your own custom color. 

P10 - 05:02最好用的是私人订制的颜色。 

It's the last option from the list. After you click it, you'll get this color picker. 

P10 - 05:07私人订制，弹出拾色器。 

Let's go with something strange. Like bright red, hit okay. And there you go.  

P10 - 05:13比如用红色。 

Don’t blame you for wanting to go back. So let's right click and choose default. 

P10 - 05:18还可以右键切换回默认。 

Say we're done with our customization. Let's save it by clicking on this icon here. From this list, choose new work space. You'll be asked for a name, i'll call it Chris hit save. And now you'll find it in this dropdown list. This is useful because in case someone comes along and changes your work space dramatically, you don't want to manually repeat the entire process. 

P10 - 05:42保存工作区，避免其它用户搞砸。 

Instead, you can do this. click here, and from this list, choose reset Chris. Now everything is exactly like you left it. 

P10 - 05:50右上角，重启私人订制工作表。 

Great stuff. And that concludes our lecture. There are a few other customization options, but we'll get to them at the right moment. 

P10 - 05:59还有其它私人订制的选项。 

Please go and create your own work space. So you can get familiar with the techniques i've just described. 

P10 - 06:03操练熟悉起来。 

Have fun. 

 

2.4. Create a New Project

P11 - 00:03 

Welcome to this lecture. We will talk about how you can create a new project. when you open up photoshop CC 2019. 

P11 - 00:06打开2019版。 

This is what you're going to get. 

P11 - 00:09打开后这样的见面。 

Most of this interface displays your recent projects. This is very helpful, especially if you use the thumbnail mode, because you can quickly identify a project by its preview. 

P11 - 00:18缩略图形式看到最近文件。 

You can also change the viewing mode to list through this icon. 

P11 - 00:22可以切换成列表图。 

This shows you several bits of Information that are missing from the other mode. 

P11 - 00:26补充缩略图模式看不到的。 

But all in all, I suggest you stick with this one. And let's focus on the stars of this welcome screen. 

P11 - 00:31建议缩略图。看欢迎界面。 

These two buttons. open is as straightforward as it can be. 

P11 - 00:35打开按钮再直观不过了。 

Click it or use the hot key CTRL o, and you'll get to browse around your computer. 

P11 - 00:40O控可以打开计算机文件浏览。 

You can open any image in any format. If you're interested about your limitations, just click on this drop down and a huge list will appear. 

P11 - 00:49文件格式浏览在下拉菜单里面。 

Those are all the formats photoshop recognizes. 

P11 - 00:52都是PS可以识别打开的文件。 

Now let's move on to our create new button. the new document window. I always use the hot key CTRL n, especially when I'm already inside a project.  

P11 - 01:01N控创建新工程。 

Alternatively, you can go to file new. in this window. You'll get a bunch of options in Photoshop CC 2019. 

P11 - 01:09文件-新建。 

This is aimed at helping beginners jump start their work. 

P11 - 01:12多种选项帮助新手上手。 

The first tab shows your most recent projects. If you're in a hurry, you can hit enter and you'll open up the last thing you've used. 

P11 - 01:19最近标签，回车键打开最新用的。 

I suggest you move to the web tab for this course. Most of what we are about to do is intended for web use. So this is your best starting point.  

P11 - 01:28网络方向用的可以选网络标签。 

In the Top part, photoshop shows some presets we might be interested in. For example, I can start a new web design project with this web large 1920 by 1080 preset. 

P11 - 01:41比如从1920✖️1080开始。 

In case you want more options, click on view all presets. 

P11 - 01:44点开浏览所有预设。 

In general, i'd say most of these are useless, because on the right side, we can input on settings manually. And this is the best way to go about it.  

P11 - 01:50右侧有手动设置。 

Plus, we can always change our canvas size at any point in the project. 

P11 - 01:56随时可以改变画布大小。 

Before we switch to that area. Let me show you how these templates work. 

P11 - 01:59展示如何用模版。 

Click on any preview and you will see its Information on the right side. 

P11 - 02:05点击任何模板，右侧显示信息。 

Things like its name, although a short description. And so on. 

P11 - 02:08比如名字和简介。 

If you're not sure about it, you can see a bigger preview by clicking on c preview. 

P11 - 02:14可以点击看下模板预览。 

Here it is. And you can scroll through this document. Let's download it and see what it's all about. 

P11 - 02:17可以下拉预览，可以下载。 

It will take a moment to sync it to your computer. After its done, the download button will change to open. 

P11 - 02:25下载后会出现按钮。 

And here it is. It's ready to be edited. So feel Free to jump into it guns blazing. 

P11 - 02:31下载后的样子。 

For experienced photoshop users, please note the document is labeled as untitled. That's because these templates come under a new extension, dot PSDT. with the t stands for template. 

P11 - 02:44未命名PSDT模板。 

Let's go back to the new document window. The project we downloaded is going to be available in the recent tab. 

P11 - 02:51刚下载的就是最近文件。 

If you want to see only your templates, those are stored under saved. But say these aren't for you. 

P11 - 02:56模板在保存下面，不是给你用的。 

How do you set your own values? You can do that from any tab, including recent. My advice is you first switch to web because most of these settings are good to go for us. 

P11 - 03:07建议从网络开始，供我们用的。 

The most important values are the width and the height. This is what you're just most of the time. 

P11 - 03:13重要右侧的宽高可以调节。 

Again, this can be edited later, but let's go with 2000 by 1000 pixels. 

P11 - 03:20宽2千乘1千。 

If you want to quickly swap your width and height values, click on the grade out orientation icon, we'll discuss it on the board a bit later on.  But by default, photoshop will assume you'll want to use them for your web projects. 

P11 - 03:31默认网络项目。按调节方向按钮。 

If that's not the case, you should un check this option. I personally recommend you do that. 

P11 - 03:37非默认，取消复选艺术画板。 

The standard resolution for web projects is 72 pixels per inch. That can remain as is, because it is the correct setting. 

P11 - 03:44标准分辨率72像素每英尺。 

The same goes for RGB color that stands for red, green, blue. 

P11 - 03:48RGB颜色红绿蓝。 

And again, that's the standard alongside the eight bit setting to its right.  

P11 - 03:52RGB标准8比特。 

Older photoshop users might want a transparent campus to start with. by default. It says to white, 

P11 - 03:59默认白色画布。 

if you simply click it, you won't see transparent in this initial list. 

P11 - 04:02选项中没有透明。 

This is a big blunder by Adobe. They force us to scroll down in order to see the last two options, one of them being transparent. 

P11 - 04:10下拉菜单最后两个才是透明。 

That's a curious decision that's taken a lot of people by surprise. Finally, if you want to save your custom settings, 

P11 - 04:17重命名。 

enter a name for this document and hit this icon, press on save preset. And now you'll find it in the saved tab alongside your download the templates. 

P11 - 04:26输入预设细节。按键保存预设。 

Lastly, if you don t like this new window, you can use the old one from the previous releases, close it, and open up your preferences from edit preferences general.from here, enable legacy new document interface. hit okay and try it out with control N. As you can see. Now you are using the old method we spoke about earlier. 

P11 - 04:49编辑-参考-普通-用资源新建。 

My advice use the new one, even though it's a bit slower than this legacy version. 

P11 - 04:54用新的，哪怕比旧的慢一点。 

And that concludes this lecture. I'll see you soon.
