Video Transcript

"Adobe Photo Shop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated and I am in no way affiliated with Adobe. Okay, so this tutorial we are going to be talking about opening a fresh document and we are actually going to do another method of selecting just a certain color. You want to hit "File open and Browse" for your image, okay, so the image I am going to use is this one right here of the dog and it is actually my dog. So, what I want to do is hit the "F" key to make it bigger and as you can see the picture is basically of a dog drinking water. It is not the sharpest picture in world but it will do good for this tutorial because what we want to select is a very simple selection. So basically to use the method I am trying to give you it is going to be, needs to be something that stands out in contrast of color, so what I am going to select is actually his tongue, so you can see its easy contrast between the background and his actual color of his skin. So say for instance the last tutorial of the kid and the groom, that would be a hard image to actually do this method with, because we are going to actually use the Selection Tool to select. So the only reason why you would want to use this method is to actually basically just do a quick selection on something that it is in color, say for instance something like an apple on white background or whatever. Something that is of simple selection, so that is the reason why I am picking this image and you want to go ahead and unlock the background, by clicking, double-clicking the background and renaming this "Mastiff, hit "okay" and it unlocked the background. So basically that is it for this tutorial I just wanted to show you guys a document that would be a much easier document to do for this tutorial."
