Effect of tucks New effect Satin (Silk) (5.31) imitates fig. of a tuck of a fabric or other material, ripples on liquid surfaces, non-uniform lighting and etc. an effect Principle is simple — the program creates a dim copy of object with certain parameters and superimposes it on object. This copy can be drifted concerning source object, is increased, blurred, and it is possible to subject its circuit to special handling.
Fig. 5.31. Tab Satin of dialog box Layer Style 1. Cancel all effects and activate a line Satin (Silk). The superimposing mode is defined in list Blend Mode (a superimposing Mode). Normally the effect is applied in mode Multiply (Multiplication), but other variants, depending on are accessible also you want to receive what effect on the image. Parameter Opacity (Opacity) sets opacity of formed tucks. 2. In the field of Angle (Corner) regulate a corner under which there is an offset of a dim copy (fig. 5.32). Scale Size (Size) installs magnification (and simultaneously a blur level) copies (fig. 5.33), and scale Distance (Distance) — an offset level. Practically these three parameters also define a configuration of tucks. Experiment with them, and you understand that in different combinations the given attributes can give the most various effects.

Selecting difficult circuits, you create more detailed pattern. It is possible to invert оконтуривание flag Invert to (Invert). ![]() Fig. 5.35. The different form of a circuit of tucks Effects of superimposing Such elementary effects as superimposing of filling (continuous, graded-index, patten), are very useful at design experiments. They are convenient that it is possible to remove or replace the created filling with another with one click of the mouse, thus image quality does not suffer. ![]() Fig. 5.36.

Last from effects creates обводку different type round objects on a layer. Its tab Stroke (Обводка) (fig. 5.37) contains very simple parameters: the width обводки is set by scale Width (Width), its position Concerning edge of objects (Position) which includes three variants — Outside (Exterior), Center (On an average line), Inside (Inside) is selected from list Position. The list of modes of superimposing and an opacity scale define interaction обводки with underlaying layers of the image.![]() Fig. 5.37. Tab Stroke of dialog box Layer Style In list Type (Text) is set type обводки: Fill (Filling), Gradient (Gradient), Pattern (Pattern). Depending on what of types is active, in the lower part of a window there are appropriate parameters. Examples обводки different types are shown on fig. 5.38. And![]() inFig. 5.38. Обводка: continuous (), graded-index (), patten () Exercise Let's issue the set of effects imitating a skin. 1. For experiment delete existing figures on a layer and create in the test document of area with filling on layers, as is shown in fig. 5.39. ![]() Fig. 5.39. Initial areas with filling on layers 2. Install for a low layer following effects: Inner Glow (the Internal glow), color of light R:180, G.:140, B:35, a direction from center, the size 27 пикселов, parameter Choke (Compression) zero, remaining default attributes. 3. Set to a layer effect Bevel and Emboss (the Bevel and a relief): type Pillow Emboss (Stamping), a creation method — Smooth (Smoothness), depth of 200 %, the size 5 пикселов, softening zero. A lighting corner — 120 °/10 °. On tab Contour (Circuit) select a sample of circuit CoveDeep, on tab Texture (Texture) — sample Fractures from library Patterns.pat. 4. Give to a layer effect Color Overlay (color Superimposing). Fill color — R:90 G:40 B:10, a superimposing mode normal, opacity of 100 % (fig. 5.40) ![]() Fig. 5.40. A layer with effects As you already understood, process of selection of the necessary effect — laborious enough operation. The desire to save a successful set of setting for the subsequent usage will be natural prompting, and the program allows to make it. You can save the selected combination of effects as style. 1. Click on button New Style (New style). In window New Style (New style) (fig. 5.41) set a name for created style Leather (Skin) instead of offered by default. Flag Include Layer Effects (to Include effects of layers) should be active, differently effects will not be included in style. Flag Include Layer Blending Options (to Use modes of superimposing of layers) in this case is unimportant. If it to install, in style superimposing modes, and not just effects will be written down also. Fig. 5.41. Window New Style ![]() Fig. 5.42. Tab Styles of dialog box Layer Style 2. Pass to tab Styles (Styles) (fig. 5.42). It is library in which the samples of styles which are available in a set of the program are placed. The style composition can include effects and superimposing modes. 3. To apply style, it is enough to click on the sample. Select for example, sample Color Target (Button). The edited layer accepted the parameters of effects saved in style. 4. The last sample in the list is style Leather which you created. Apply it to a layer. 5. Styles are organized in the standard image, just as paintbrushes, figures, patterns, circuits. Click on a triangular arrow of the list opens the menu with which help it is possible подгружать sets of styles (in delivery enters two more dial-ups), to create the sets, to regulate a list display mode, to delete and add styles and so forth Attention!After application of style it does not associate with a layer. The program simply gives to a layer appropriate effects. Style formatting in Photoshop misses. Editing of effects After application to a layer of effects they can be edited. Display of effects in a palette of layersAfter to a layer effects, its vernal type and display in palette Layers (Layers) are applied change (fig. 5.43). In a palette near to a layer name the tag "f" is shown. Lines of effects are more low allocated: at first the general line, then by turns each effect it is shown separately. Such method of display is very convenient — he allows to disconnect visibility of all effects or elite, without canceling them. It becomes the same as for layers: click on the button with an eye tag. ![]() Fig. 5.43. A palette of layers. To layer Layer 1 effects are applied 1. Cancel visibility of effects of a layer, then again include them. 2. Cancel and again include each of effects separately. Again to pass to editing of effects, it is enough to make double click on a line of a layer or on any of lines of separate effects. Before you window Layer Style (Style of a layer) where it is possible to reinstall parameters arbitrary again opens. We underline that how many time you changed attributes of a layer, image quality does not suffer. Right click on a line of any effect in palette Layers (Layers) opens the shortcut menu. In it all accessible effects (active are marked by birdies), and also are enumerated operation which can be done with effects (fig. 5.44). The choice in the menu of any effect leads again to discovery of window Layer Style (Style of a layer) on the appropriate tab. Command Hide All Effects (to Hide effects) disconnects visibility of effects, a Clear Layer Style (to Delete effects) — deletes effects of layers. If needed effects of layers are easy for transforming to normal layers. Command Create Layers (to Create layers) the shortcut menu of effects for this purpose serves. Each applied effect becomes a normal layer and can be edited arbitrarily. The received layers can be reduced, "pasting" thereby effects to an image layer. It is necessary to note that after transfer in normal layers effects lose special characteristics. ![]() Fig. 5.44. The Shortcut menu of effects ![]() Fig. 5.45. "Leather" layers are issued Copying of effects Style of a current layer can be copied in the buffer, and then to apply it to other layer or several layers 1. Activate a layer with effects of style Leather. Clicking the right mouse button on a line of any effect, open the shortcut menu. 2. Select command Copy Layer Style (to Copy style of a layer). It leads to copying of style of a layer (i.e. a set of its effects) in the buffer. 3. Pass to a high layer. Again open the shortcut menu of effects and select command Paste Layer Style (to Interpose style of a layer). The layer accepted the same effects, as underlaying. 4. Cancel the last command. Connect all three layers to the lower. 5. Pass to a high layer and select command Paste Layer Style to Linked (to Interpose style into all bound layers). Now effects are enclosed to all bound layers (fig. 5.45). Scaling of effectsThe effects applied to a layer can be scaled, proportionally increasing or reducing all attributes. 1. Pass to an image low layer. 2. Select command Scale Effects (Scaling of effects) the shortcut menu of effects. In the window with the same name the scaling percent is set. 3. Install value of 50 %. All applied values of effects are reduced half — there was a texture twice more small, it is twice less — the size of a relief. Set value of 200 % and you see that attributes of effects are increased twice. In this case 80 %-s' scaling not bad looks. Install this value and close a dialog box. Setting of the general direction of lightAs you already know, effects of a layer can have the general corner of application. It is actual, for example, at a combination of effect of a relief and a shade. If the general corner is installed, layout of flares and shades will be realistic. To change a lighting direction simultaneously for all layers with effects it is possible and without usage of window Layer Style (Style of a layer). 1. Open the shortcut menu of effects and select command Global Light (the General lighting). The dialog box with the same name opens. 2. Move a dagger symbolizing a light source. You control lighting of all layers simultaneously. Test different corners of lighting. Usage of a palette of stylesFor fast operating by styles it is convenient to use special palette Styles (Styles). 1. Open palette Styles (Styles) command Show Styles (to Show styles) menu View (Type). In a palette (fig. 5.46) samples of the same styles, as in dialog box Layer Style (Style of a layer) are presented. ![]() Fig. 5.46. Palette Styles 2. Activate a low layer of the document and click on the button of sample Tye-Dyed Silk (Texture). To a layer effects corresponding to selected style are immediately appropriated. 3. Open the palette menu. In it control instructions are enumerated by styles. These are commands of creation of new style on the basis of effects of a current layer, saving of new sets and update old and others. Operation with the organizer of librariesIn program Photoshop there are some types of libraries, the majority from which to you it is already known: Paintbrushes Circuits Patterns Styles Samples of colors of the Figure (about them speech in chapter 6 goes).As you could note from a book material, operation with any libraries is constructed absolutely similarly. The special tool is intended for streamlining of libraries — dialog box Preset Manager (the Organizer of samples). This window is caused by menu command Edit with the same name (Editing) (fig. 5.47). ![]() Fig. 5.47. Dialog box Preset Manager In the upper uncovered list of a window all types of libraries of the program are enumerated. Select from the list by turns each of points, and before you there will be same lists of samples that are visible in appropriate dialog boxes. For example, the list of paintbrushes the same that opens at click on a paint tool property bar. The triangular - arrow on the right causes the menu. It consists of three groups of commands. The first group are commands Reset<имя библиотеки> to (Recover) and Replace<имя библиотеки> to (Replace). If the library of paintbrushes the given commands will look like Reset Brushes (to Recover paintbrushes) and Rename Brushes (to Replace paintbrushes), say, is active. The second group of commands controls a list type. For example, for library of styles 5.48 browse modes presented on fig. are provided. And![]() in г дFig. 5.48. Browse modes of the list of styles: Text Only (a), Small Thumbnail (), Large Thumbnail (), Small List (), Large List () At last, the third group contains titles of libraries which can be connected with the leaking. It those files of libraries which are allocated in corresponding подпапке folders Presets. For example, if to open the menu for the active library \Presets\Brushes a principal folder of the program. In the right part of a window buttons of commands are allocated. It is command Load (Loading) connecting the loaded set to existing, Save Set (to Save a set), saving a current set under the arbitrary name, Rename to (Rename), the employee for renaming of the selected sample and Delete to (Delete), deleting a sample. Upon termination of operation it is necessary to close a window click on button Done to (Finish). The abstract
