This is the final result of this episode, a photocopy from above with a highlight effect, the cup remains bright while the table around it softly darkens, plus text ribbon from the rectangular selection. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. We're entering the selection module. Selection is a way to tell Photoshop which part you want to edit. Today we start with the most basic tool, Rectangular and Elliptical Marquee.
Open the photocopy from above.
Right-click the marquee group in the toolbar and select Elliptical Marquee Tool. Draw from the top left to the bottom right of the cup until the circle follows the cup's rim.
The dashed line that moves is called marching ants, the indicator of the selected area.
The cup handle hasn't been included yet. Hold shift and draw a small ellipse around the handle. The selection now expands. Conversely, hold alt to reduce the selection. These two buttons apply to almost all selection tools. We want to darken the table, not the cup. Press shift ctrl I to invert, so that the selected area is now everything outside the cup.
The selection edge is still sharp. Select, modify, feather, then set 80 pixels. Feather makes the selection edge fade gradually so the highlight effect looks natural later. Click the exposure icon in the adjustment panel.
Because there's an active selection, Photoshop automatically creates a layer mask from the selection. Drag exposure to the left until minus 1.2. The table darkens, while the cup remains bright as if given a spotlight.
Create a new layer, select rectangular marquee, and drag a thin rectangle at the bottom. Fill with white using Alt Backspace after setting the foreground to white. Then press Ctrl D to deselect and lower the layer's opacity to 70%. Add the morning copy text above the ribbon in dark brown.
Save as PSD and export JPG.
Done. We've already used the electrical and rectangular marquee, shift and alt to add and subtract Invest, fader, and adjustment layer exposure that automatically follows the selection. In the next episode, we will learn the rectangular marquee, polygonal marquee, and magnetic marquee.
