Jagged Selections in Photoshop

Video Transcript

"Adobe Photoshop is a registered trade mark of Adobe Systems Incorporated. And I am in no way affiliated with Adobe. Alright, so now I'm going to actually make little cuts on the tape to make it look like it was actually cut off the tape dispenser. So what you want to do is, you want to actually click on your eraser tool. And since your eraser tool works like a brush, you can actually change the different types of brushes there is. So if you click over here on the little arrow key, as you can see my arrows on. It's going to bring up a list of brushes. All the brushes that I like to use for this is going to be the Calligraphy brush. So you're going to actually click on Calligraphy and then hit o.k. And it's going to bring up a whole bunch of different types of brushes. As you can see there are some of them that are sideways. As for instance, this one right here. And that's what you want. I'm going to go ahead and click that. And hit o.k. Now we've got ourselves a brush that is going to give us a nice little cut. As you can see. I'm actually going to do this while I'm zoomed in. Let me zoom out for just a second. O.k. Zoom in. Do you see, I've got one cut there? You can just move along with it and make it look real rough. Then you want to do the same thing with the top. Just click and click and click and make some bigger than others. As you can see, it pretty much looks like tape. You can get any more realistic than this. Although, there is another method of making tape which I'm probably going to show you here in the next clips. We'll zoom it out for you and as you can see it looks realistic. Looks really, really clean. And it's a real simple way to do it. And unfortunately, I had to show you guys step by step. The way I showed you guys, you have to watch each individual video rather than watching one full long video. But hopefully, you guys got the point and it was slow enough for you guys to understand."
