2016-10-27
hi thank you this new MacBook Pro and Photoshop are made for each other this new addition of the touch bar really combines with the keyboard and this new giant trackpad to create this incredibly natural expressive and powerful new way of working with Photoshop let me see if I can show you what I mean all right I have up here on the screen this amazing image of a woman climbing terseness cave in Greece but what is this cave we're not in Greece what if it were here now to pull this off I'm going to need to cut the cave out of Greece and the tool for cutting things out in Photoshop is called select and mask and normally it's in a menu or a sub tool but with the touch bar it's right here at my fingertips now you can see the touch bar has changed to show me only the controls I need for this task you can see how with my right hand I'm mousing and selecting and with my left hand I'm adjusting the size of the brush it's a really fun and natural way of working let me see if I can get her legs there I'm going to switch over to my refinement tool and again I can just resize while I work totally this two hand way of working it's really fun I know if you guys can tell how much fun I'm having all right all right here we go all right let's see how I did all right that's not bad for 10 seconds and that whole time my two hands were really working in concert and my eyes were up and on my image really makes a lot of sense it's really a good way of working okay so this is great this is definitely not Greece but I'd like to see more drastic of a change and adding content to an already open document can be a lot of mousing but not with the touch bar I'll just top that select a sunset put that right there and we'll move that under and see how that looks all right we're getting somewhere I like this but it's kind of yellow and so I'd like to add more color and to do that I'm going to need to do some brushing but first I'm going to go into my touch bar and when I choose my favorites and then I'm going to add a new layer and then I'm going to go into full screen now full screens amazing as was just said this is great I have no panels I have no menus and I and 100% focus on my image
