![]() ![]() You can edit both boxes individually like this at any point by holding control while you click one of them.Īnother way is to click a previous point and drag it around, this will move the line around maintaining the same apex as before but warping the line according to where you move it. Once you have the curve following the edge properly you can click the front box of the newest point again to drag it to the place you want your next bend independently of the other box. Two boxes attached to the point by dotted lines will move, with the front one following your mouse the box between the new point and your previous one determines the shape of the curve and the front one will determine the apex of the next one, but concentrate on getting the previous line right before worrying about the next one. The first way to curve a line with the path tool is to hold the left mouse button down when you click the next point and drag it around. There are several ways to do this, so here’s a quick run through how to do this: Then, click another point a little way further along the edge of the object, a straight line will join the two points, however it is very rare that a straight line will follow the edge of an object perfectly so we must curve the line slightly and make sure it hugs the object closely. ![]() Now, zoom in very close to the image, I’m going in to about 200% here, and select the Path tool (press ‘B’) and click somewhere along the edge of the object you want to select, here it is the fire hydrant. Step 1 - Duplicate Your Layerĭuplicate the background layer and rename it. Here we are going to colour the hydrant and leave the chains the original colour, using the Path and Layer Mask tools. In this particular instance we will be changing the colour of an object, but the selection of precise objects is a very important skill to have when you are editing pictures and the better you get at it the better you will be able to change photographs in more elaborate projects. Here we are going to use the Path tool to create a very precise selection and then use this to demonstrate how we can change particular aspects of an image using these selections. If you can selectively colour an area you can use the same technique to apply a whole range of effects to very precise aspects of your pictures. A very useful skill in Photo manipulation is the ability to selectively alter an area. ![]()
