Photoshop Tutorial: How to Create Gorgeous Polyscapes - Duration: 11:31.

Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

I'm going to show you how to create polyscapes.

Polyscapes are essentially photo effects that merge beautiful landscapes or scenes with

geometric shapes using clipping masks and shape tools.

There are limitless possibilities of designs for polyscapes, but for the most part, they

all use use the same basic technique to create them.

Before we begin, if my tutorials have helped you learn or improve in Photoshop, please

consider supporting my channel by becoming a patron!

For as little as $2 a month, you can help me keep my tutorials free.

Click the Patreon button at the upper right or the Patreon link in my video's description below.

Any amount you can pledge is greatly appreciated.

For this particular polyscape design, we'll use 2 photos.

I downloaded both of them from Shutterstock.

Find 2 horizontal photos that you'd like to use for this project.

Begin with the photo that we'll use for your background.

We'll convert it into Smart Object, so we can modify it non-destructively and adjust

the effects at any time.

It'll also allow us to replace the photos with others without having to redo the effects.

To do this, click the icon at the upper, right of the Layers panel and click "Convert to Smart Object".

Make a copy of it by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + J.

Temporarily hide the copy and make the original layer active.

We'll create a soft dark vignette along the outside edges of our image.

Go to Filter and Lens Correction.

Click the "Custom" tab and slide the "Vignette" amount all the way to the left.

Then, click OK.

I'd like to adjust my background's brightness and color cast.

If you want to do the same for your background, click the Adjustment Layer icon.

If you're using Photoshop CS6 or later, click "Color Lookup".

If you're using an earlier version, you can experiment with "Hue/Saturation" or "Color

Balance" or "Channel Mixer".

Open "Load 3D LUT" and cycle through the filters to choose the effect you like.

I'm using, "Crisp_Winter.look".

For this image, the filter is a bit too intense, so I'll reduce its opacity to 40%.

We'll convert our image into a Smart Object by Shift-clicking "Layer 0" to make it active,

as well as the adjustment layer and converting them into a Smart Object.

Let's name it "Base" and the copy, "Ring".

Make the Base layer active and click the New Layer icon to make a new layer.

Inside this empty layer, we'll create our first shape.

Open the Polygon Tool and choose "Shape".

If you're using CS5 or earlier, the Shape Tool is here.

Click the "Fill" box.

The "Fill" color is the color of the shape, however, since we'll be filling the shape

with a photo, the color doesn't actually matter in this instance.

For now, click black.

Click the "Stroke" box and click the white box with the red, diagonal line in it.

This is the box to click when you want no Fill or no stroke.

The pixel amount in this field determines the width or thickness of the stroke, however,

we won't be needing it for now, so the amount is irrelevant.

Later, we'll make a shape using a stroke with no Fill, which is essentially an outline.

Make the number of sides: 3.

Click the gear icon and make sure "Star" is unchecked.

Then, press Enter or Return.

Next, we'll create guidelines to locate the exact center of our document.

Open "View".

If you're using version CC or later, click "New Guide Layout".

If you're using an earlier version, I'll show what to do in a moment.

Make sure Columns and Rows are both checked and the number for both is: 2.

If you're using a version earlier than CC, click, "New Guide".

In either orientation, type in 50% for the Position.

Then, click OK or press Enter or Return.

Go back to View, New Guide, tick the other orientation and type in 50% again.

Go to the center of the guidelines and press and hold Shift as you drag down the Shape

Tool a bit below the bottom of your image.

Then, release.

To slide the shape up, press "v" to open your Move Tool and press and hold Shift as you

drag it straight up to approximately here.

Open your other photo and drag it up onto the tab of your background image.

Without releasing your mouse or pen, drag it down and release.

Go to Layer 1 and drag it down above the shape you made.

We're going to mask the photo, so it'll show only through the inside of the shape.

To do this, we'll make the photo into a clipping mask by pressing Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows

or Cmd + Option + G on a Mac or you can go to Layer and click "Create Clipping Mask".

Position the photo inside the shape by just dragging it.

We can resize the photo by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + T to open your Transform Tool.

Go to a corner and when you see a diagonal, double-arrow, press and hold Alt or Option

+ Shift as you drag it out or in.

Continue to position and size it to your liking.

Then, press Enter or Return.

To temporarily hide the guide lines, press Ctrl or Cmd + H. Make the shape layer active

and click the "fx" icon.

Click "Stroke".

Make the Size 9 pixels and the Position: Inside.

The Blend Mode is "Linear Dodge" and the Opacity is 50%.

The Fill Type is "Gradient".

Click the Gradient bar to open the Gradient Editor.

For this example, let's click this preset called, Spectrum".

Then, click OK on both windows.

Notice the subtle, but thin stroke surrounding our shape.

We'll place our shape and corresponding photo into a folder by Shifting-clicking the photo

to make it active as well, and pressing Ctrl or Cmd + G.

Make a copy of it

and drag the copy to the right.

Open the top folder and make the shape active.

Go to Edit, Transform and "Flip Vertical".

Notice, just the shape flipped, but not the photo inside the shape.

That's because only the shape is active.

Open your Transform Tool and using the same steps, drag it in to approximately this size.

Position it to approximately here and press Enter or Return.

Make the photo active and drag it to a position you like inside the shape.

Close the folder and make a copy of it.

Open this folder and make the shape active.

Press and hold Shift as you drag across the second copy to a position that's equidistant

as the right shape is from the center shape.

To reposition the photo inside this shape, make the photo active and drag it.

If you want to resize the photo, use your Transform Tool.

To see the Transform's entire bounding box, press Ctrl or md + 0.

Resize and reposition it inside the shape to your liking.

To zoom back it into, press Ctrl or Cmd and the plus key once or twice.

Close the folder and name it, "Left Shape". Name the middle folder, "Right Shape"

and the bottom folder, "Center Shape".

Make the "Left Shape" folder active and click the New Layer icon to make a new layer above it.

In this empty layer,

we'll create another shape, but this time, it'll be an thin, circular outline.

Let's zoom out to 50%.

Make the guidelines visible again and open your Ellipse Tool.

Click the Fill box and click the No Fill icon.

Click the Stroke box and click black.

Make the width 10 pixels.

Click the gear icon and make sure "Proportional" is ticked and "From Center" is checked.

Go to the center and drag out the circle almost to the edge of your canvas.

Then, release.

Make the top layer visible and active.

Clip it to the shape under it.

I'd like to give the image inside of the ring more complexity, so I'll flip the image.

If you'd like to do the same, go to Edit, Transform and "Flip Vertical".

Open your Transform Tool and enlarge the photo inside the ring approximately this much.

Hide the guidelines and zoom back in.

This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

Thanks for watching!

Avocado Toast w/ EASY Poached Egg | Bữa Sáng Dinh Dưỡng Dễ Làm - Duration: 8:03.

One tablespoon... I meant

The egg...egg... egg white

So delicious!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Butterfingers Kitchen

Today I am back with a cooking video

It's gonna be a healthy breakfast

including toast, avocado and eggs

Let's begin!

First, we bring some water to a boil

I think I need more water

We need enough water to cover the eggs

So they can be cooked

It's called "Poached Egg" in English

There are several ways to poach eggs

But I happen to find this one easiest

Now I will add one teaspoon of vinegar to the water

to help keep the egg white in place

I use apple cider vinegar

But you can use white vinegar as well

the type we have in Vietnam

The trick I use is

using these 2 rings

from 2 mason jars

Those jars are popular in the U.S

I am not sure if you have it in your country

If you can't find this in Vietnam

You can use the round cutter instead

Or you can use this

soup spatula

I think it will work as well

Now I will drop these into the pot

While waiting for water to boil

we will toast bread and cut the avocado up

I will add 2 slices of bread into the toaster

and toast it. Oops, forgot to plug in

and toast it

About the bread, you can choose whatever bread you like

I use Honey Wheat bread

I like that type so I use it

You can use any kind of bread you like that is available

in your country

As you can see, water is boiling. I will turn off the heat

Then break two eggs

into the rings

One in

Two in

Now let's cover the pot

And time it

If you like really runny yolk, wait 4 minutes

If you like semi-cooked, go for 5 minutes

I'll go for 5

For this "poached egg" dish

it makes no sense to go for well-done egg

Because there's supposed to be runny yolk coming out

as you cut the poached egg open

so please do 5 minutes if you don't like it too raw

Man.. I have never seen anyone with such poor cutting skills LOL

I will remove the pit

Spread it evenly onto the toasts

Now the eggs are done

I use this flat spatula to take it out

Remove the ring and place on top

of the toast

That's it. So easy!

I added tomatoes because I want something fresh

Then I add the parsley that I bought by mistake

I thought it was cilantro

Then I add a bit of salt

and pepper

If you like cheese, you can add some parmesan cheese

It will be even more delicious

But I don't have any on hand

My dish is complete!

So much nutrients packed in one dish

I will cut the egg

to see if there's any runny egg yolk

Success!

If there's no runny egg yolk then it's a fail

Okay. Time to eat!

I don't think I will need knife and fork for this

So good!

So so good!

I dropped the egg

The yolk and avocado go so well together

Can you see the ear?

There's somebody begging for food

This dish is so simple right?

but still looks so appetizing

Now I am done eating

Goodbye. See you in the next video

It's gonna be a Granola Bar recipe

(explaining what granola bar is)

So, stay tuned for it!

Quick and easy ways to refresh curly hair (without heat!) - Duration: 10:26.

hi I'm Christina from HairRomance.com and welcome back to Hair Romance, the place

that's all about loving your hair

so today's video is a request and I've been

asked about ways to refresh curls on the second day. Or it could be third, or it

could be fourth, or it could be seventh.. no judgement! And you shouldn't be

washing your hair every day if you have curly hair anyway. So I've got a few

videos on my channel which I'll link somewhere around here and they've been

really popular because I have a little trick for using heat that I use to

always get a perfect result so if you definitely definitely want to get an

exact result that is my go-to way that I always star my hair but sometimes you're

just at home or you don't be using heat all the time so I've got a couple of

methods of heat free ways to refresh your curls on the second day.

Now the first one is of course a little bit of preparation and that's making sure that

you go to bed the right way so that your curls wake up pretty good in the morning

the main way you wreck your hair overnight is by tossing and turning a

rough pillowcase this sort of thing I dream a lot so I'm always moving a

lot in my sleep so I can wake up with a bit of a bird's nest so the trick I use

is I always clip up my hair. Now the clip I use I have not been able to find it at

the moment and but the one thing I love about it it

has a flat bottom. I am on the lookout for these if you know where you can find

one please let me know. This is a Lady Jayne one and there's a smaller version

still available but this one I'm going to find it!! but the thing that works well

so what you want to look for in a clip that will be comfortable is it has a

silicon inner and it has a nice flat base so I don't get any bars

sticking into my head and the silicon holds my hair and stays in place this is

great but if you can't these are really really easy to find and these are

Invisibobbles and you can also get these from a few other brands but they are a

great loose elastic that doesn't leave a mark in your hair and what I do with

these which I've shown on my other videos I'll quickly show you as well is

that put my hair up right on top of my head

like really you almost want to get your head upside down I'm not even doing a

very good job now but kind of so that it's right up and this technique is

called pineapple in because you end up looking a bit like a pineapple so with

this technique what I like to do is clip my hair up and then sleep like that and

then in the morning let my hair down and I'm left with quite a little bit of

volume so this is my hair this is our second day here and I haven't put any

other product in it except how it is now the other thing as well is to sleep on a

silk pillowcase everyone I'm hearing so much more talk about this now which is

great because it's such an old trick my mum told me about it from years ago and

if you are in a bit of a budget you can always get a vintage silk scarf which

you can pick up pretty cheaply especially they're really ugly ones but

no one will see it at home tie it around your pillow and then you can be sleeping

in a silk pillowcase so just a few dollars otherwise there's some beautiful

ones on the market from slip and the good night company they have some

incredible pillowcases which I highly recommend and I have both of those ones

at home so sleeping on a good surface and having your hair up is going to help

if you don't like having anything in your hair what I can recommend is a

technique that a reader told me about and she described it as sleeping like

little mermaid sleeping like Ariel which I thought was really funny but sometimes

I do do this if I am just kind of maybe having a little lay down and I'll squash

my hair this is quite good if you want to sit down and read for a while or hang

out where she puts all her hair up and sort of lays it out like a fan behind

her on the pillow and I think this is that's a great way if I'm just laying on

the sofa I do want to squash on my hair just do that and if you're a

very quiet sleeper that'll work for you

now the next trick so now you've sort of woken up with hair

that looks a bit like this or maybe looks worse... my hair's a mix of like a

few straighter sections a few curly sections it has it's a mine of its own

always does, so what I'd recommend next is to have a steamy shower works really

well for me. So after I have a shower I still keep my hair clipped up in the

shower. I don't wash my face in the shower because I find the water's too hot

so I just wash my body and I keep my face and hair out of the shower. I have a

really hot shower so it's important if you have a shower as hot as I do that

you're not putting your face under that water either. So just my body and then

when I come back out I wash my face and then I'll unclip my hair and kind of let

the steam from the shower that's built up kind of work into my hair kind of

just gives it a little bit more volume but if you want to recreate this if you

don't shower in the morning or you don't have a boiling hot shower like me you

can just use a really fine water mist so you need to pick up one of these.

These are water spray bottles. I've had this one for ages. You can buy these

anywhere at supermarkets anywhere for a couple of dollars and all you want to do

is just have a nice little fine mist of water because frizz comes a lot from

dry hair so you need to add a little bit of moisture back in to reset your curls

I just like to lightly miss the product through my hair and give it a little bit

of a scrunch up. I can also spot any curls that are looking a little bad and

maybe concentrate more water on those and twist them to try and reform the curl.

now once you've added in that water and your hair's had a chance to refresh

and your curls come back to life a little bit you need to make sure that you can

set them. A really quick trick for me it's just to mix a little bit of water

with my conditioner and you want to grab if you following the curly girl method

you want to use a silicone free conditioner like Darshana this is a

great product from a really small business that I love to support but

otherwise whatever conditioner you use is fine and I just mix a really small

amount with a little bit of water in your hands just to loosen that down and

then run that through your curls.

and I find that that conditioner works really

well for taming frizz tha sort of works all the way down and it's kind of all

through my hair and also helps and to really hydrate the ends of my hair that

might be looking a bit frayed

another tip you can do is you can create your own leave-in spray. Taking

another water bottle similar to this you can mix it a little bit of conditioner

in water about one part conditioner to five parts water and give that a good

shake and you can use that instead of your water spray to do a two in one

if you really want to get a little bit more hold and your hair needs a bit of extra

help and going for a gel or a custard can work really well. I like the kinky

curly curling custard that is a bit of a tongue twister but this product's great

and has like a sort of weird jelly texture or like a custard gel to be

honest it's the best way to describe it and it dries, it does form a bit of a cast

on your hair so I use that if I want to redefine any ends or redefine any curls

let that set and then scrunch out the cast to reveal softer calls maybe about

depending on how damp my hair is maybe like an hour or two later

and if you wake up in your hair is a total mess you can do a half start again

and what I mean by this is where I would wet my hair down not completely in the

shower but I'm almost so that it's half wet through and then I would put my

either like a gel and a curl cream back through my hair and almost come out with

wet hair so I haven't had to wash it all the way through and wash my scalp I'm

just resetting my curls and then I would use a diffuser and just quickly re-dry

my hair so that I'm ready to go and that routine probably would

only take me maximum half an hour with it's not a full wash but it's fresh

curls to start the day again

another tip to leave you with to refresh your curls is just to check where your

part is sitting and often curls can get quite flat on top and you get a lot more

volume here at the ends and so you want to check that how your part is sitting

because a flat part can also give the illusion of less volume and a bit more

of a zigzag curving part can create the look of volume so with my hair I always

like to have a side part but I have it curving back around so that I have some

curls sitting this way and some sitting around here and you can just move some

curls around to see where that's it's better to create a little bit more

volume particularly at the crown or around the sides and top of your head

I really hope these tips help for a heat free curl refresh in the morning I also

link my full curly hair routine if you'd like to check how I wash and style my

curls and come over to HairRomance.com where I've got heaps more curly

Devin Nunes & Trey Gowdy Plot "Never-Before-Used Procedure" To #ReleaseTheMemo - Duration: 2:25.

Devin Nunes & Trey Gowdy Plot "Never-Before-Used Procedure" To #ReleaseTheMemo.

According to the Washington Examiner's Byron York, Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte

(R-VA), Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and Intelligence Committee Chairman

Devin Nunes (R-CA) huddled together Saturday to discuss a "never-before-used procedure"

for releasing the "shocking" FISA abuse memo.

Washington Examiner reports:

There's no doubt Republicans want the public to see the classified memo.

To get it out, they are studying a never-before-used procedure whereby House Intelligence Committee

members would vote to make the memo public, after which the president would have five

days to object.

If the president had no objection, the memo would become public after those five days.

If the president did object, the matter would go to the full House, which could vote to

overrule the president's objections and release the memo anyway.

Republicans believe it is unlikely they would have to go that far; why would President Trump

object to the release of a document allegedly showing that Obama administration officials

abused the law in investigating Trump?

But even if there were an objection, the feeling is the House would go ahead.

After millions of Americans called on Congress to release the memo, Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH)

announced Saturday that the process has begun.

On Friday, Republican lawmakers started publicly lobbying Nunes to release the memo.

"Earlier this morning, I examined the classified, four-page memo from @HouseIntelComm regarding

the FBI, DOJ, and the so-called #RussianCollusion.

To put it simply, "WOW."

I joined the call to #ReleaseTheMemo.

Americans deserve truth and transparency," tweeted Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA).

The letter was signed by Steve King, Matt Gaetz, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs,

Scott Perry, Ted Yoho, Jody Hice, Louie Gohmert, Barry Loudermilk and Brian Babin, reports

Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit.

"Unreliable" - A Spoken Word Poem - Duration: 2:08.

"Don't pull an Allen."

That phrase translates to: Don't flake out.

It started out as a joke.Or maybe it was an insult.

I don't know, because at this point it doesn't matter.

The fact is at this point my name has become synonymous with "unreliability."

Irony, or a cruel twist of fate because I can't count how many times I've thought about

leaving.

Just packing up my bags, not calling anyone or writing a note, just filling my tank and

hitting the road.

My entire life has been a failed attempt at disappearing.

Running as far as I can go only to find myself back at Square One, and I've spent so much

time trying to run away that even my watch goes in reverse.

And it runs fast.

My entire life has been a struggle between wanting to be a good friend and not wanting

to be bothered by anyone.

It's not that I don't like people or want them around, it's just that I'm not really

good with social pressure, and my mind is like a battery--it can only handle so much

before I have to recharge.

But the problem with that is each time I recharge it the lifespan of battery goes down, and

that means the less that I can interact with society.

A+B= "See, I can't make it tonight because I'm too tired," or, "I'm sorry, I completely

forgot," or, "I'm sorry, Allen can't come to the phone right now, please leave a message

after the--" Being loyal means everything to me, and I'll be there if you really need

me, but the problem comes with a war with time.

How much time do you need me for, versus how much time until my battery runs low, versus

how many people do I have to interact with today?

And sometimes just the thought of all that interaction makes me tired, so I need to take

a nap before I can make that decision.

But by the time I wake up you no longer need me, or maybe you forgot, which is probably

just as well because my battery started out low and it's still charging, but I promise

I'll get back to you as soon as I can, which might be in an hour or week, and I'm really

sorry that I'm sort of a bad friend, and I think I finally figured it out; it's not a

joke OR an insult, but rather a cautionary tale.

So listen up, boys and girl, if you don't want to be thought of as unreliable you need

to make your best effort to always show, and don't be like me and be a mediocre friend,

or, in other words, "Don't pull an Allen."
