hey guys welcome back to Ben's tech tips

0:00:01.620,0:00:07.190
and today I'm gonna be showing you how

0:00:03.240,0:00:07.190
to make an action sequence in Photoshop

0:00:14.059,0:00:22.859
to begin with click on file automate

0:00:18.240,0:00:25.830
photo merge from here make sure auto is

0:00:22.859,0:00:29.939
selected untok blend images together and

0:00:25.830,0:00:31.439
then click browse now select your images

0:00:29.939,0:00:37.559
that you want to put into the action

0:00:31.439,0:00:41.190
sequence once they're loaded in there

0:00:37.559,0:00:44.670
click OK as you can see I took these

0:00:41.190,0:00:46.410
photos on my go pro so I must have moved

0:00:44.670,0:00:49.110
it when I was taking the photo so now

0:00:46.410,0:00:51.270
Photoshop will spend a bit of time to

0:00:49.110,0:00:53.760
align the photos and when it's finished

0:00:51.270,0:00:55.590
you'll see a little bit of white around

0:00:53.760,0:00:59.360
the corner because it's transformed them

0:00:55.590,0:00:59.360
all to look roughly the same

0:01:02.630,0:01:07.670
once it loads up you want to make sure

0:01:05.330,0:01:13.400
your first layer is selected then click

0:01:07.670,0:01:15.860
layer layer mask hide all from here

0:01:13.400,0:01:18.520
select the brush tool make sure you've

0:01:15.860,0:01:21.290
got a big brush around 150 pixels or

0:01:18.520,0:01:23.900
depending on how high resolution your

0:01:21.290,0:01:28.970
photo is and ensure the opacity is a

0:01:23.900,0:01:30.860
hundred percent now select white now you

0:01:28.970,0:01:33.050
can paint in your other people or

0:01:30.860,0:01:36.410
objects or whatever you're making the

0:01:33.050,0:01:37.760
action sequence on there are a few

0:01:36.410,0:01:40.240
things you want to look out for such as

0:01:37.760,0:01:40.240
shadows

0:01:46.860,0:01:53.750
and try and keep the low mask

0:01:49.730,0:01:56.120
just just as because it needs to be and

0:01:53.750,0:01:58.160
don't go overboard because sometimes you

0:01:56.120,0:02:00.530
can get discrepancies with roofs lines

0:01:58.160,0:02:02.330
and other lines in the background now

0:02:00.530,0:02:06.320
going to your next layer and repeat the

0:02:02.330,0:02:11.720
process layer layer mask hi doll then

0:02:06.320,0:02:14.780
just paint in your guy simple as that so

0:02:11.720,0:02:17.600
when you're painting in our things in

0:02:14.780,0:02:19.520
the action sequence you can create the

0:02:17.600,0:02:21.500
mask to go backwards and that doesn't

0:02:19.520,0:02:24.140
matter but if you go forwards it'll

0:02:21.500,0:02:28.340
start erasing so make sure you don't go

0:02:24.140,0:02:31.490
forwards and in Photoshop step backward

0:02:28.340,0:02:33.890
is command option C so make sure you get

0:02:31.490,0:02:35.540
these it's so you'll want to zoom in and

0:02:33.890,0:02:36.740
maybe you can change brush closes but

0:02:35.540,0:02:40.580
I'm just going to do this quickly with a

0:02:36.740,0:02:43.430
big brush so I can show you da da da da

0:02:40.580,0:02:46.570
da there we go now you go on to the next

0:02:43.430,0:02:46.570
one repeat the process

0:02:53.400,0:02:55.459
you

0:02:59.300,0:03:03.890
if you accidentally do go over the next

0:03:02.210,0:03:07.400
one simply change your brush to black

0:03:03.890,0:03:10.250
and then we draw over it as you and that

0:03:07.400,0:03:11.990
will fix up the layer mask like this you

0:03:10.250,0:03:16.660
can get to your layer mask by clicking

0:03:11.990,0:03:16.660
holding down option and clicking on it

0:03:17.530,0:03:22.880
now when you get to the end there might

0:03:19.760,0:03:25.880
be a few scenes as in this one I've got

0:03:22.880,0:03:29.840
a few scenes of a splash a bigger splash

0:03:25.880,0:03:33.680
or I can just use another photo of my

0:03:29.840,0:03:36.040
friend here so zoom out and because of

0:03:33.680,0:03:43.730
these dodgy edges you want to crop it

0:03:36.040,0:03:48.730
hang on just get any fingers and stuff

0:03:43.730,0:03:50.960
out of the way make it look nice and

0:03:48.730,0:03:54.670
there you have it that's how you make an

0:03:50.960,0:03:54.670
action sequence in Photoshop
