[The Russell Brown Show]
Welcome to this amazing episode of
the Russell Brown Show where you'll need a tablet
running the new product from Adobe called Photoshop Touch
and a flashlight.
That's right.
I'm going to relight this room with a flashlight.
It's amazing, and
you can only do it with Photoshop Touch
because of its built-camera on many of the tablets today.
Let's get started.
I'm going to go right over here,
and I'm going to create a new empty layer,
just like this, and in this project,
I need to move the layer to the top most position
simply by tapping and dragging it upward.
Once that's selected right there,
I'm going to set the blend mode to this to overlay.
Now when you set something to overlay,
it will respect the tones and values in my image,
but it will add to that with my flashlight.
I set that, I tap away.
Then I'm going to duplicate that layer
because now I have 2 layers with the same blend mode.
Here we go.
With that targeted, let's now turn down the lights in the studio.
[lights darkening]
Because this technique works best in the dark
because we need it to be nice and dark in the room
as this camera-fill effect happens.
I'm going to go to this fly-out menu here,
under my more items here, under the ampersand.
I'm going to select and tap on add camera fill.
I'm using the forward camera in this device.
Now if I pick up my flashlight,
I'd like to demonstrate the first of my 2 techniques.
The first is where you shine the light
directly in the sensor.
Look how I can light up the room,
and I can create a lens flare effect.
I move the camera, excuse me I move the flashlight,
to the exact position I like, and then I select
my camera feature right here on the tablet.
This looks great.
It adds a really nice light to the room and a glare.
I select keep right here.
That's number 1, so that's relighting the room.
Check this out, you're not going to believe this.
Here's before, boring and dull,
and now here with the flashlight technique of relighting it,
but, wait, there's more.
The second of these 2 techniques allows you to create a spotlight technique.
I'm selecting my second layer here,
remember that still has the overlay mode.
I go back up and select add camera fill.
Once again, I have this flashlight,
but this time I don't point the flashlight directly into the light sensor.
I move it around the room as if I'm lighting the room with a spotlight.
Okay, I just want you to pause for a moment and say to yourself,
"It doesn't get better than this."
The ability to spotlight, let's put it right over there,
and, of course, if you move it closer,
the spotlight gets bigger.
If you move it farther away, the spotlight gets smaller.
Welcome to the world of analog,
fantastic, amazing techniques.
There it is; I've captured it.
I turn off my flashlight, and we can now
bring up the studio lighting and finish this off.
We want to keep this.
So we have 2 effects,
the spotlight effect, which we can turn on and off, and
the flare effect here.
Let's combine the 2 together. Wow!
Turning both of them on, and let's bring in the mad hatter.
Now if you want to change the position of the mad hatter,
or other layers like this,
you can get really, really amazing results.
So you've just seen a demo here on Photoshop Touch.
Combined with a flashlight and a built-in camera to your Android device,
or your Apple ipad 2 device. Wow!
A flashlight, who would've known?
There you have it, amazing things that you can do with Photoshop Touch.
Give it a try.
