Photoshop Workshop 2* Continued

Rotating the Canvas

If i wanted this image landscape instead of Portrait i would use these tools and rotate it clockwise by 90 degrees







Adding a grid to the image

If i wanted a more precise way of keeping two images together i would use the grid these overlays the photoshop document with a grid that i can match up my image to to create perfect size and scale






View of Image with the grid overlay


this is the grid view as you can see it shows where parts of the image are not aligned right so it will be easy to correct






Adding a border to images
                                                 


to add a border to images you go to fill>Stroke from here you can select how many pixels your border is and what color it will  be you can also select if you want whether you want the border to be on the inside of the image or the outside of the image





The History Tools

This is the history Toolbar it shows you what you have done to your document and if you want you can click on the different points to go back it only remembers so many actions so if you keep on adding things it will remove earlier parts of the history and you wont be able to go back to them








Layers

This is the layers toolbar from here you can create new layers over your image so you dont have to edit the base image think of it as a layer of cling film over the image you can delete any layers you dont like and it wont effect the base image if you just want to hide a layer for abit while you work you can click the little eye tool. you can create black and white layers over your image that you can change the blending mode on to create darker or lighter images you could also duplicate an image from the layers tab when you have a layer selected it will only effect that layer and nothing else. you can flatten an image to turn it all into one image when you have finished it.
