Great video! A couple of friendly advises: 1. Use adjustments (curves, levels etc) as adjustment layers instead of directly applying them to your original photo. That way, any adjustments you make can be fine tuned and undone later as necessary, non destructively. Also, using adjustment layers gives you the ability to mask out desired portion of the image. 2. After selecting out an area (In this case, the shoe), right click on it and go to "refine edges" option. You can slightly blur out the edges (what you did with a brush tool here) in one click.

@DylanGrinder9 жыл бұрын
Great tutorial! One suggestion, though: Instead of going around the product and manually blurring the edges, you can instead set up the blur tool's settings, then right-click your original path and stroke the path with the blur tool. Saves some time and ensures the tool is run directly on the edge, so the intensity of the blur is consistent.
@ForeverDansky9 жыл бұрын
Dylan Grinder Ah brilliant - thank you Dylan!
@yeoldgreat19 жыл бұрын
Dylan Grinder Can you explain what you mean by set up the Blur tool settings and stroke the path? I'm trying to follow this tutorial and think your blurring tip will make it a lot easier! I'm pretty new to photoshop so trying to learn what I can.
@DylanGrinder9 жыл бұрын
yeoldgreat1 After you've followed the steps to outline the subject with a path, select the blur tool and set up the brush settings how you like (probably somewhat small with lowered hardness). Make a new layer, and make sure you have "sample all layers" checked (this setting should be right next to the blur tool's "strength" option). This will allow you to create the blurred pixels on a new layer without affecting subject layer itself. Then go to the paths panel (which you can find by going to window>path if you don't already have it open), right click the path and select "stroke path". Simply pick "blur" in the tool dropdown and voila! It should run the tool along the path. This technique is useful for softening the edges of things you already have a vector path for, like vector shapes or objects you've already outlined, and can be used for things like creating smooth curves (draw a curved path) and applying narrowing lines to them (set the "size jitter" control to "fade" in the shape dynamics section of the brush panel).
@Nick-rr3pv9 жыл бұрын
Dylan Grinder Dansky I have even faster method which creates same effect. After you make a clipping path and make the selection out of it I contract the selection by 1 or 2 pixels (depending on the pixel size of the image). After contracting I give feather of 1 or 2 pixels. As you know feather blurs the image and in this case it slightly blurs the edges of a product. Try it out. it works fine for me.

Great tutorial. The gold here for me was how to retain the shadows from the original product image. You mentioned Photoshop has several ways to perform a single task, where you retouched the outline of the product using the 'blur tool' what are some other methods we can use? Will selecting the path and applying a feather mask achieve a similar result?
