Start PhotoShop, click File/New, the size you need, here I make a publicity map.
There are several parameters for everyone to say:
Name: It is the name of your file.
Width: the width of the file.
Height: that is, how high the document is.
Resolution: that is, file definition (generally 72 by default).
Pixel: the unit of width and height. Generally, pixels are selected.
Step 2 open the material
Because I want to use the material, I have prepared a classic WINXP desktop picture as the material here. File/Open, find this material. According to the steps in the figure, click File/Open, select the material, and click Open.
Note: If there is a small lock on the right floor, we cannot move it. We need to open it here. Double-click the position of the small lock on the right to open a dialog box, and then click OK. Then we saw that the small lock disappeared, and at this time we could move the material.
Moving material
Now we need to move the material to the newly created file, right-click the layer, select Copy Layer, and a dialog box pops up to rename the layer as Material Picture. [Destination/File] Select the name of the newly created file, and then click [OK].
work material
Now, we can close this window and open a new publicity map. You will see that the size may be wrong, sometimes it is big and sometimes it is small. What should we do at this time?
First, select the material layer. When the picture turns to a blue background, it means it has been selected.
Change the size, hold down "CTRL"+"T", and the picture will become a grid border. Click on the border with the mouse and drag the desired size at will. If the picture is too big to be resized, you can use "CTRL"+"-"to reduce the scale of the picture, and then use CTRL”+“- ALT+0 to display the picture completely.
After the size is changed, press Enter /ENTER directly to save.
Turn on the text function
Click 【 Horizontal Text Tool 】 in the toolbar on the left side of PS or use the shortcut key T.
Processing words
Click on any position in the picture and write the slogan or slogan we want to write (I will write "Daily Maintenance of Computer" for demonstration).
Click on any layer on the right after washing. It may be ugly, so let's beautify the text.
First, according to the previous steps, select the text layer, then find the text toolbar above, and select the font, size, font color, etc. I chose Fangzheng calligraphy, No.200, with black font. Note: If you feel that the font gap is large, you can select [Switch Characters and Paragraphs Panel] on the far right side of the color to make specific adjustments. Among them, 30% and-100 are used to reduce the spacing between fonts. You can try it yourself.
Beautify text
Do you still think it's a little ugly here? Let's beautify the words.
Right-click the text layer and select [Blending Options] to open the dialog box. Many beautiful effects are produced from this. Let me introduce you to one.
When using this function, you can see your own effect in real time on the left, and control [strokes] through the effect. As shown in the figure, the attribute I chose is white and the size is 12.
The final effect is shown in the figure. You can try other functions.
If there is no [save] step, all the previous work will be in vain. [CTRL+S] Save the desired format. I suggest you save a PSD format first, which is convenient for later modification, and then save it as something else, which can generally be saved as JPG, PNG, GIF, etc.
