In this movie, imaging expert and humorist Deke McClelland uses Photoshop to violate the laws of common sense by issuing a rocket plume from the tail end of a commercial jetliner. The result is the fastest airplane known to man, one that relies on the Move tool, the Color Range command, and a clever effect known as Outer Glow.
- [Instructor] In this movie we're going…to violate the laws of common sense…by adding this rocket plume…that's coming out of the tail end of the jet.…I'll go ahead and switch over to my image so far…and I'm going to scroll down the list…here inside the layers panel,…and click on the tail shade layer,…which as you may recall is located…directly below the airplane layer,…and that way we're adding the rocket plume…below the airplane.…Alright now I'll go ahead and switch over…to this image right here, which I lifted…from another Fotolia image,…and to add it to the composition at hand,…go ahead and switch…to the rectangular marquee tool,…which you can get by pressing the M key,…and then right-click inside the image window…and choose duplicate layer.…
Now, go ahead and change the document…to custom motion blur, which is that image…we saw just a moment ago,…and click okay.…Alright, now go ahead and switch back…to that image, and what you want to do…in order to move it into the right place…is press the V key in order to switch…

2/15/2017In this course, Deke takes you through advanced Photoshop features including automated selection tools, color range, focus area, and refine edge features. Additionally, the nondestructive editing workflows are demonstrated. Uses for Smart Objects, Liquify—for slimming and trimming—and techniques for drawing and designing with vector shapes are shown. Plus, discover how to improve a photo with poor composition by reconstructing it with Content-Aware Scale, healing tools, and blend modes.
