00:00:07,950 --> 00:00:12,280
hi this is Jamie from digital I am calm
2
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:14,048
I was just playing around with some
3
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:15,699
brushes today someone was talking me on
4
00:00:14,048 --> 00:00:17,949
YouTube about the smudge tools and stuff
5
00:00:15,699 --> 00:00:19,028
and I thought I'd just play around with
6
00:00:17,949 --> 00:00:21,460
some stuff and I kind of figured this
7
00:00:19,028 --> 00:00:23,589
out um essentially what this is is if
8
00:00:21,460 --> 00:00:25,060
you've ever used painter you might have
9
00:00:23,589 --> 00:00:28,359
used the just dead water tool it's quite
10
00:00:25,059 --> 00:00:29,528
popular for blending and yeah that kind
11
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:31,028
of a tool doesn't really exist in
12
00:00:29,528 --> 00:00:32,890
Photoshop well I thought it didn't
13
00:00:31,028 --> 00:00:34,960
really exist in Photoshop until today so
14
00:00:32,890 --> 00:00:37,420
I'm gonna show you how to make the just
15
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,009
add water tool in Photoshop now some of
16
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:40,750
you may already know this and I might be
17
00:00:39,009 --> 00:00:43,000
behind the times but I'm just gonna show
18
00:00:40,750 --> 00:00:46,000
that this for people who don't know like
19
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,659
me so I'm just gonna put some colors
20
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,659
down real quick
21
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:56,230
and I'm gonna pull out this much tool
22
00:00:53,530 --> 00:00:59,200
now normally this much tool doesn't have
23
00:00:56,229 --> 00:01:01,988
any of this turned on and so what it
24
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,640
normally does is just move the paint
25
00:01:01,988 --> 00:01:05,530
around it's not really a very useful
26
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,149
tool I don't use it and I don't know
27
00:01:05,530 --> 00:01:08,680
many other people that do either for
28
00:01:07,149 --> 00:01:10,689
painting or photo editing or anything
29
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:15,420
it's just kind of nasty I mean it
30
00:01:10,688 --> 00:01:17,619
doesn't really serve much purpose so
31
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:20,079
what you need to do is you need to open
32
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:22,359
up the brush palette here and turn on
33
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:25,090
scattering and we'll just hide that and
34
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:27,640
now you'll see that it blends our colors
35
00:01:25,090 --> 00:01:30,040
and for anyone who's used painter and
36
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,849
didn't know about this right now you
37
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:36,010
should be pretty happy because um yeah
38
00:01:32,849 --> 00:01:37,419
that's a really useful tool now I mean
39
00:01:36,010 --> 00:01:38,650
normally what you're gonna want to do is
40
00:01:37,420 --> 00:01:39,820
you you're gonna want to pick up your
41
00:01:38,650 --> 00:01:41,740
colors and blend them like you normally
42
00:01:39,819 --> 00:01:44,169
would do but if you just want to smooth
43
00:01:41,739 --> 00:01:45,789
out something you know or make something
44
00:01:44,170 --> 00:01:48,430
really soft or you're trying to get some
45
00:01:45,790 --> 00:01:50,350
really really smooth gradients happening
46
00:01:48,430 --> 00:01:52,240
then it really can be quite a useful
47
00:01:50,349 --> 00:01:54,250
tool or if you're just blocking in some
48
00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:55,809
values and you're just scribbling them
49
00:01:54,250 --> 00:01:57,938
in and you just want to you know files
50
00:01:55,810 --> 00:02:00,040
them out a bit um again a really good
51
00:01:57,938 --> 00:02:02,908
tool so another thing you can do is you
52
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,320
can turn on other dynamics which will
53
00:02:02,909 --> 00:02:08,408
set this strength jitter to pen pressure
54
00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:10,329
which is really good and shape dynamics
55
00:02:08,408 --> 00:02:11,560
and I usually for this I've sort of
56
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:12,700
figured out about halfway is good
57
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,098
because you don't really need too much
58
00:02:12,699 --> 00:02:17,828
fine detail so now if I go back and do
59
00:02:15,098 --> 00:02:19,209
it with the pen pressure on it's not a
60
00:02:17,829 --> 00:02:20,430
strong and effect you know you can
61
00:02:19,209 --> 00:02:22,438
really sort of
62
00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:25,469
put it down how you want and blend
63
00:02:22,438 --> 00:02:26,969
smoothly and yeah it I don't know it
64
00:02:25,469 --> 00:02:28,378
seems to work pretty well so I'm pretty
65
00:02:26,969 --> 00:02:32,400
happy about this not that I just share
66
00:02:28,378 --> 00:02:36,298
it with you guys so yeah um check out
67
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:40,099
digital out front calm and stay tuned
68
00:02:36,299 --> 00:02:40,099
