Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a brown dog sticker with a thick white line and soft shadow on a bright yellow background, which was all created using the Modivi command on the selection. Let's start. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Selections are rarely perfect at first. In the Select menu, Modivi has Fader, X-Pen, and Kontrek to smooth, expand, or contract the edge of the selection. Let's practice while making the dog sticker. Open the brown dog photo.

Step 1: Select Subject on the dog

Select Select, Subject. The dog is automatically selected from the tip of the ear to the collar. Press Ctrl-J to copy it into a layer named 'anjing'.

Step 2: Contract to remove the halo

Sometimes the edge of the selection carries a little background color, called Halo. Ctrl-click the thumbnail of the 'anjing' layer to load the selection, then Select, Modivi, Kontrek 2 pixels. The selection slightly contracts inward. Invert the selection, press Delete on the 'anjing' layer, then Ctrl-D.

Step 3: Expand for the sticker line

Load the dog's selection again, then Select, Modivi, X-Pen 20 pixels. The selection expands in all directions, following the shape of the dog. Create a new layer named 'garis' below the 'anjing' layer, then fill the selection with white color.

Step 4: Feather for the shadow

Load the 'garis' selection again, then Select, Modivi, Fader 12 pixels. Create a shadow layer below 'garis', fill it with black, lower the opacity to 35%, and shift it slightly to the bottom right. Soft edges make the sticker appear to float.

Step 5: Solid color background

Select the background layer, set the foreground color to F4C542, then fill with Alt Backspace.

4 Step 5: "55

The dog sticker with the white line and shadow now stands out.

NT Step 6: "3

Save as PSD. For stickers with a transparent background, hide the background layer and export as PNG.

Step 6: Saving

Okay, done. We've used Select Subject, Contract to remove the halo, X-Pen for sticker lines, Fader for soft shadows, and solid color background.
