    Sorry but I do not know how to ask you a question so I'm trying it here. New to Ps. Having trouble understanding the correct procedure on how to get my photo(s) into Ps and when I 'Save As", where do the saved images go? Are there videos that cover this "Basic of Basics" information? Thank you in advance for your help, Rick

    4:37 ➡️ In my Photoshop 2021 the HUD does for some unknown reason no longer show up in that red color. I changed nothing. Except maybe clicking something accidentally I never have been aware of. Catalina 10.15.7, latest 2021 by today, Nov 24th 2020. Restarted Ps, rebooted Mac, nothing helps. Beefy MBP 16, 64 GB RAM, 8 GB VRAM

    Is there a shortcut for opacity?? I use that A LOT and I would love if I didn't have to go to the options bar every time!

    • @PhotoshopEssentialsChannel
      @PhotoshopEssentialsChannel  3 роки тому +2

      To change the opacity for a brush, just press a number on your keyboard. Press 1 for 10%, 2 for 20% and so on. Press two numbers quickly, like 2 and then 5, for 25%. Press 0 for 100%. Hold Shift while pressing a number to change the Flow value. Hope that helps!

    is there ant way to select a brush stroke that has already been made if you want to adjust it or move it or something along those lines. But just one stroke or a few and not the whole layer?

    • @PhotoshopEssentialsChannel
      @PhotoshopEssentialsChannel  3 роки тому +1

      Brush strokes are made of pixels, just like a photo, so there's no special way to select or adjust them. But you can always press Ctrl+Z (Win) / Command+Z (Mac) to undo your last stroke if you made a mistake.

      @@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel well i was hopeing to make an enital scech and then changit to the way i wanted. like for example I was outlining or tracing a face and then I was going to re-position parts of the face. like say move the eyes around a little bit till it fit the form I wanted. Is there anyway to do this now that I have strokes laid out?

      @@TomisaLami For your drawing method, you have several options. 1. You could make your initial drawing using the curvature pen tool/ paths, & then edit the path easily with direct selection tool or curvature pen tool. 2. Or, if you want to use the brush tool/ pixels, you could use a folder (name it 'face') & add new layers (e.g. 'eye,' 'mouth' etc) in layers panel, as you draw each part, so each is on a separate layer that can be slid around; & then flatten all those layers when complete for one 'face' layer. OR, In PS, you can always create a selection of ANY existing pixels in any image that already exists, (with selection tools or the pens tools- draw path > create selection); & then manipulate that selection of pixels: such as use transform (ctrl T) on it, or move that selection to a new spot by dragging. You edit groups of pixels in PS, not objects, (unless you have drawn vector paths or shapes with the pen tools).
