Working with Color

Working with ColorHello gangs.. Today we're gonna talk about a few tips using color in photoshop on your image. Color can be manually described in several ways using a color model such as RGB or CMYK. As you work in your image, you specify colors using one of the color models. In Photoshop you choose the approach to color that’s appropriate for your image and how it’s being used.

Photoshop lets you choose wisely and create colors by using a huge variety of industry-standard color palettes, color mixers, and color models. The nicest one, you allowed to create and edit custom color palettes to store frequently used colors for future use.

Let me tell you this, you can also easily customize how a color palette appears on your screen by changing the size of swatches, the number of rows, and other properties.


Choosing colors

If you haven’t installed your PSD Portable (for example), so.. begin by reading some information on installation and other preliminaries. Before you begin working with your color section of an image presentation, take a few moments to read an overview of Adobe Help and of the many resources available to users. You have access to instructional videos, plug-ins, templates, user communities, seminars, tutorials, RSS feeds, and much more.

You can choose fill and outline colors by using fixed or custom color palettes, color viewers, color harmonies, or color blends. When you want to use a color that already exists in an object or document, you can sample the color to achieve an exact match.


Fixed or custom color palettes

Fixed color palettes are provided by third-party manufacturers. Some examples of these are HKS Colors, PANTONE, and TRUMATCH. It may be useful to have on hand a collection of color samples that shows exactly what each color looks like when printed.

Working with Color

Custom color palettes can include colors from any color model or fixed color palette. You can save a custom color palette for future use. For more information about working with custom color palettes, see "Creating custom color palettes" and "Opening and editing custom color palettes."




Sampling colors

When you want to use a color that already exists in a drawing, you can sample the color to achieve an exact match. By default, you sample a single pixel from the drawing window.

Working with ColorColor viewers provide a representation of a range of colors by using either one-dimensional or three-dimensional shapes. The default color viewer is based on the HSB color model, but you can use this viewer to choose CMYK, CMY, or RGB colors. The default color viewer is based on the HSB color model, but you can use this viewer to choose CMY or RGB colors.




Color harmonies

Working with ColorColor harmonies work by superimposing a shape, such as a rectangle or a triangle, over a color wheel. Each vertical row in the color grid begins with the color located at one of the points on the superimposed shape.

The color harmonies let you choose a color model, and they are most useful when you need to choose several colors for a project.





Color blends

Working with ColorWhen you choose a color by using color blends, you combine base colors to produce the color you want. The color blender displays a grid of colors that it creates from the four base colors you choose.

Sticker Edge Peel

Sticker Edge PeelFirst of all.. let me told you this.. It ain't a sticker making tutorial at all.. so you’ll gonna need to got your own sticker prepared or you can use this delicious alternative, you are definitely allowed to use the Joe Corner sticker source files at the tuto we've learned earlier. What a nice man, am I! lmao..

I’m starting with (... my latest image on Joe Corner's ...), then filling the background color with a light gray so we can see clearly enuf the difference between the stage and the edge of our black sticker. Oughh.. I need some Granita around here fellas... would you bring me that such thing?!?!



Sticker Edge Peel


Ok Ok Ok... Go on! From your Tools palette flying menu on the left side of your Photoshop, click the foreground swatch and enter the color code #d8d8d8. You've done with your Color Fill, then let's move on to the next level of this tut.. lmao.. Add a drop shadow to the Sticker layer. Follow this blending option set;



Sticker Edge Peel



With your lovely drop shadow set, we’re gonna do something really kind of cool step... we’re gonna separate the drop shadow from its layer and put it on, below the Sticker layer. Next.. On the Palette Layer, Right + Click your layer style icon (f). See image below for detail..



Sticker Edge Peel



Choose your Rectangular Marquee tool (M). Drag a nice sized square selection onto the stage (don’t forget to hold Shift to constrain the proportions). Rotate the selection by choosing Select > Transform Selection from the main menu.


Note : This kind of action, will give the Free Transform controls to you, but just to remind you from the Free Transform you used to, this transformation will not gonna be applied to the stuff on the layer, it's only be applied to the selection. You can use easily the Options bar at the top of Photoshop menus, enter 45° (it depends on your image size.. or whatever you'd like how the peeled sticker would gonna be, lol), move the selection to the left-right-bottom-corner of your Sticker and...



Hit -ofcourse- the Enter to commit the transformation, what else!



Sticker Edge Peel



Gosh! Here's another tricky part, press Ctrl + Shift + J on your PC, and watch the magic happen.. See?!?!? Name it Residue (at some stage, not necesserelly needed, lol), hit Ctrl + J to duplicate that Layer via Cut and name it Peel. At this point, nothing on your workflow looks any different in certain part. For the moment, lets turn off the Residue.


Sticker Edge Peel



This is it. With the Peel layer selected.. notice that I -in some particular action- like very much (highly recommend) to lock layers so that it can't move accidently. Straightly click on the Lock Transparent Px checkbox.



Sticker Edge Peel



While we’re at it, let's go ahead and rotate the Peel layer so things are oriented correctly before we continue. What?!?!? Ofcourse.. We can do this easily by choosing Edit > Free Transform > Rotate 180° from the main menu. lmao.. what can I say?!?!



Sticker Edge Peel



Allez! Allez! Allez! Change your Sticker's Drop Shadow.. layer color to a lighter shade color, something like.. turning down its layer's Fill Opacity into about 23% and simply using Menu Image > Adjustment > Brightness/Contrast... and follow this set.. should due nicely, ha ha..


Sticker Edge Peel



Ctrl + Click on this layer again doods and add a Drop Shadow followed by a Gradient Overlay as shown below..



Sticker Edge Peel


Sticker Edge Peel



Now we're going to finish our job here.. The last layer, yupp.. Residue layer, on the Palette Layer, change the Blend Mode of your Residue layer into Luminosity then turn the Fill Opacity of that layer into about 5%. Nice!!!



Sticker Edge Peel



Get any similarity of the image you've got with mine here?!?!
And that, as they say, is that! It's a wrap doods :)
