How To Access Refine Edge In Photoshop CC 2018 Step 1: Make An Initial Selection. To access Refine Edge in the latest versions of Photoshop CC, we need to remember that, unlike the Select and Mask workspace, Refine Edge does not include a way for us to create our initial selection. It can refine the selection, but it can't create one.

Written by Steve Patterson.In this series of tutorials, we'll learn how to resize images in Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud). We'll start here with a quick overview of Photoshop CC's newly redesigned Image Size dialog box, a welcome improvement over previous versions. Then, in the next tutorials, we'll learn how to both resize and resample images, as well as the important difference between the two.We'll also look at Photoshop CC's image interpolation options, including a brand new one designed to keep our images looking crisp and sharp when we enlarge them, something previous versions of Photoshop have really struggled with.Again, this tutorial, as well as the others in this series, are for Photoshop CC which requires a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud. If you're using Photoshop CS6 or earlier, you'll want to read our original tutorial, as well as the other image resizing tutorials found in our section.And get exclusive bonus content!Here's an image I currently have open on my screen ( from Shutterstock). Clicking on the image to jump to a new preview area. Zooming In And Out Of The Preview WindowBy default, the preview window shows us the image at the 100% zoom level, but if you move your mouse cursor over the preview window, zoom options will appear in a bar long the bottom. Press the plus icon ( + ) to zoom further into the image or the minus icon ( - ) to zoom out.

The current zoom level is displayed in the center of the bar. There's also a handy keyboard shortcut for zooming in and out. Press and hold your Ctrl (Win) / Command (Mac) key and click with your mouse inside the preview window to zoom in, or the Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key and click to zoom out. Changing the zoom level using the bar along the bottom. Resizing The Preview WindowFinally, we can make the preview window itself even larger by making the entire Image Size dialog box larger. Move your mouse cursor over any of the four corners of the dialog box, then click and with your mouse button held down, drag the corner outward.

The larger you make the dialog box, the larger the preview window becomes. Here, I'm dragging the bottom right corner of the dialog box, allowing me to see much more of the image in the preview window. Click and drag the corners to resize the dialog box and the preview window along with it. The Current File Size And DimensionsTo the right of the preview window is where we find the various controls and options for resizing our images, as well as some general information about the image. At the very top is where we find its current file size and dimensions. Image Size shows us the size of the image in megabytes (which is what the 'M' stands for).

Dimensions shows us the current dimensions of the image in pixels (px). The 'Fit To' option.If we click on the words Original Size, a menu appears with various preset image sizes and resolutions we can choose from. Some of the presets are designed for print, others for the web (or on-screen viewing in general). There's also options for saving and loading our own presets. There's some potential problems and pitfalls you can run into when choosing preset image sizes, though, like the fact that some presets have different aspect ratios than others, so we'll look more closely at this option in another tutorial. The main Width, Height and Resolution options.We can enter new values into the Width and Height boxes. When we change the value in one of them, Photoshop automatically changes the other to preserve the original aspect ratio of the image.

By default, the measurement type for both the Width and Height is set to Inches, but if you click on the measurement type selection box for either option, a menu will appear with other measurement types to choose from. Notice that at the moment, the Pixels type is grayed out and unavailable. We'll learn why that is in another tutorial when we look at the difference between resizing and resampling an image. The Resolution option.I'll cover everything you need to know about image resizing in the next tutorial, but briefly, the term resizing simply means changing the size at which the image will print, without changing the actual number of pixels in the image.

For example, currently the Dimensions section at the top of the dialog box is showing that my image has pixel dimensions of 5616 x 3744. At the current resolution of 300 pixels/inch, this image will print at a width of 18.72 inches and a height of 12.48 inches. That's because we'll be fitting 300 of the image's pixels from top to bottom and 300 pixels from left to right inside every inch of paper. The current print size of the image.If I increase the resolution from 300 to, say, 360 pixels/inch, we see that the image still has the same pixel dimensions (5616 x 3744), but because we're now packing more of those pixels (360 as opposed to 300) from top to bottom and from left to right inside every inch of paper, the image will now print at a smaller size (15.6 inches wide by 10.4 inches tall). Again, this is just a brief overview of image resizing. We'll cover it in more detail in the next tutorial. The width and height are now shown in pixels.We can now change the actual number of pixels in the image by entering new values into the Width and Height boxes.

By default, Photoshop again keeps the original aspect ratio the same, so if I enter a new value of, say, 2000 pixels for the width, Photoshop automatically changes the height to 1333 pixels to match the original ratio. If we look up at the top of the dialog box, we see that the Dimensions section is also showing my new image size of 2000 px x 1333 px, and above it, the Image Size section is telling me that the file size, in megabytes, has dropped from its original 60.2M down to just 7.63M. Use the Resample option to change the total number of pixels in the image. The Constrain Proportions OptionAlso with the Resample option enabled, you'll find a clickable link icon between the Width and Height options.

This is the Constrain Proportions option, and it's enabled by default. This is what tells Photoshop to keep the original aspect ratio of the image intact by automatically entering the correct height value when we change the width (or vice versa). In most cases, you'll want to keep this option enabled, but disabling it will allow you to enter separate values for both the width and height at the risk of changing the aspect ratio and distorting the look and shape of the image.

The Constrain Proportions option. The Image Interpolation OptionsAnother very important option that only becomes available with the Resample option enabled is Image Interpolation, which refers to the method Photoshop uses for adding or removing pixels in the image.

The interpolation method we select can have a dramatic impact on the quality and appearance of your image after it's been downsampled (made smaller) or upsampled (made larger).The interpolation option is located directly to the right of the Resample option. It doesn't actually say 'Image Interpolation' anywhere, but it's the option that, by default, is set to Automatic. The Image Interpolation option is located to the right of the Resample option.Clicking on the word Automatic will open a list of interpolation methods to choose from, including a brand new one in Photoshop CC, Preserve Details, designed to keep our images looking crisp and sharp when enlarging them. In fact, if we leave the interpolation option set to Automatic, Photoshop will automatically select Preserve Details when it detects that we're enlarging the image. When downsampling (reducing) the size of an image, the Automatic option will choose Bicubic Sharper for the best results. The preview window will update to show you what the image will look like as you select different interpolation methods. We'll look at these options in more detail in the full image resampling tutorial, but for now, leaving this option set to Automatic is a safe choice.

I use following techique in Illustrator and Photoshop:Draw a straight path, copy the path, and rotate by 90 degrees. Since the rotation pivot is by default in the middle you get a cross that achieves exactly what you want. This has the advantage of also working for arbitrary angles. More importantly this can be recorded as a action and applied to many paths at once with just a keypress if you find yourself doing this alot.Also if i remember correctly (need to check when i go home atleast it works for rotation) when you measure a distance it puts that value in the move dialog you can then divide by 2 or even 3, to get a precice move from end to any division. There's also another simple way to find out the center whether it is from top to bottom, from left to right or vice versa.All you need to do is pull out a ruler and just drag it over your working area slowly, and when you pass over the center of the working area you'll see a slight change in the movement and feel like it sticks to the center of the space for a just a small while.

It'll be something like a staggered movement of the ruler near the center of the work space.Now this is the most simple method that you can use but it needs quite a keen observation.
