10 Go-to Editing Tips by Using Photo Editor

Just hold down the Option key on a Mac or CTRL key on a PC, click on the layer cover and drag it to the change layer being referred to. This makes a duplicate of the layer cover without re-trying the equivalent once more.

For show purposes, I have left the Fill at 100%, so you can consider a to be as delineated inside the white square.
- Evade and Burn
Make a different layer, change the mix (Mode) to Overlay and fill the layer with half dim. Name this layer "Evade and Burn". The Dodge and Burn apparatuses are my go-to technique for making chosen regions of a picture lighter or more obscure. Avoid is for helping and the Burn device is for obscuring a territory. Utilize a delicate Brush and set Exposure to between 6-12%. As a rule, I leave Range set to Midtones. In the event that you find that you have tried too hard in the particular zones, simply diminish the Opacity on the layer.

This is found under File>Place. I typically work with different pictures in a similar report. Accordingly, I discover utilizing this technique truly convenient as it imports the picture as a Smart Object naturally, which is extraordinary for resizing the picture with no corruption.
- Fix Tool
The Patch Tool was my top pick of the Healing Brush Tools in Photoshop CS5. In any case, since I've moved up to CS6, the Patch device has quite recently improved. You would now be able to utilize the Patch apparatus to fill utilizing the Content-Aware on another unfilled layer. I like to release Adaption. Ensure Sample All Layers has been ticked. The Healing Brush likewise feels more natural to use than previously.
- CMD+T or Transform
I appear to utilize this easy route a ton. In case I'm taking a shot at various pictures in a similar record, I may have to resize a couple of the pictures likewise. As I import my pictures utilizing the Place order, this implies they are changed over to Smart Objects, so the goal of the pictures isn't influenced while changing or resizing.
- CMD+T+Warp Tool
Like the above point, the Warp device is incredible for tweaking a component of a picture, particularly on the off chance that you are dealing with composites. In the picture beneath, I was utilizing my own stock photograph of Heron's claws to repeat the Owl's claws with the end goal of authenticity.

Open another window for a similar record by Window>Arrange>New window for new_filename.PSD however keep it at 25% (or fit to window). Thusly, rather than zooming back out to perceive how the picture looks and afterward zooming back in to continue your modifying, simply click on the second window where you have a similar record seen at 25% (or fit).
