Understand The Function Path and Vector

Path is a tool that is owned by Photoshop to create "A Vector". The purpose of the Vector is the result of a graphic that can give rise to various forms of digital graphics that appear on the computer screen.
Excess vector has been highly used by CorelDraw software in the field of graphic design. And Adobe Photoshop at the beginning was not so supportive if the graphics function, because more difokusan as an image editor. But on further development, Adobe Photoshop even more increase in output means of manufacture Vector newest series, especially very visible since Photoshop CS series (CS-1 and above).
Excess than there is on neatness vector images and shapes lines and angles are generated so that the quality of a graphic form is not reduced, as occurred in the result of a photo image that rests on the pixel size of the image.

(Caption above) Although superficially similar, the results of the processing of a colored layer 'Gradient' above has the distinction, one between them is processed by using the 'Selecting Area Tool' that depends on the size of the pixels of the image in question, which makes the display picture was as fragmented and increasingly fragmented when enlarged, while the right image, we can see a color gradient layer looks more presentable color gilding the edges, it is because the layer processing on the right are processed using the Vector Path that does not depend on the size of the pixel image , but based on a bitmap vector which is technically stored by the memory of the computer grapis.
Before we make vector processing functions Path Tool, it is better if we opened the window pane "Path Side Panel".

(Picture above) 'Tool Path', 'Options that seems', and 'Panel Path' which supports the 'Tool Path'

When we click on the menu 'Tool Path', it will automatically appear Path Option panel. From Path Option, we can choose the tools that are already available in performing the functions Path. There are several things to consider in the use of Path Tool to create a Vector Path;

a. It is better between the 'Vector Path' with the 'Vector Path' that others are in a separate Layer (differentiated) 

b. (IMPORTANT) A layer which contains a Vector (Vector Layer Mask), can not be applied to the 'Selecting Area Tool' or applied to the filter image except after in-'Reasterize'kan or in-'Convert To Smart Object '... 

c. Several Tool in Photoshop is also not applicable to Path tool, such as the functions of the menus in the 'Image' and 'Filter Image'. 

d. A Vector can help us in running some limited Tool retangular functions, namely by following the steps below;

1. Identify an area in the image by using the 'Selecting Area Tool', then we can convert it into a form Path, or we can do the opposite (right make Path without doing 'Selecting Area'), then it will create a form of 'Path';

UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE IN THE LAYER OF AREA TOOL Selecting TOOL AND PATH SELECTION

Results of Area Selector geometric shapes and geometric shapes created with the Vector Path is actually similar, and have some similarities, among them, every process of selecting the same tool area together to form a new layer, but there are some minor differences between the two fundamental;

1. Layer made with Area Selector is not thinking about the Vector Mask that can later be altered form, as established by the Path Layer

2. Layer Path Path has its own in addition to the Layer Panel Option Option Panel, and part of this separate layer and can be seen only appear if we direct mouse in a box that has the Path Layer is concerned.

(Picture above) are layers formed using Path (Vector Path) that had Vector Mask

(Picture above) are layers formed using Area Selecting Tool (A Geometric Shapes that are not using (Vector Path), so it does not have the Vector Mask, but has a mask similar to the Vector Mask called 'Layer Mask'

Tips Understanding and how to use the Photoshop Image Processor

Image Processor is a tool provided by Adobe Photoshop to make it easier to process many image files uniformly, in a short time. Say, one day we want to reduce the size of the photographs of our collection, but the large number of photos sometimes decreases the amount of productivity and requires a lot of time in processing these photographs, or any time we want to explain, clarify or darken the color display photographs exist in the collection of our album, but we are constrained by limited time, then, 'Image Processor' can be used as an alternative.
Menu Image Processor is located in the 'File Option', in the 'Scrips';

Once we open the windows 'Image Processor', we can find several menus to choose from, among others, set the size of the photos you want to minimized / or its enlarged Pixel size, change the shape of a JPEG file into a PSD or TIFF, or change or add effects to the photos, explaining, sharpen, or reduce the brightness of the color photographs that have been there before. In terms of providing a touch of editing the latter, then we must first have a setting that we have stored previously, the settings already stored (recorded), can be referred to as 'Preset', or Settings already stored.

To make sebuh Preset, first we need is a picture that serve as a reference, say File A, which has the atmosphere of brightness or color that is similar to the other fotofoto we want to give a touch of similar effect. Then we open the Window 'Action', it would appear a 'Panel Action' which contains the options 'action' at the bottom;
a. Stop Recording; to limit the 'action' / action that you want to be 'Preset' b. Recording; start the process of saving 'presets' c. Play; play (running) action undertaken d. New Folder; to group actions made e. New File; to create a setting that contains new actions f. Delete; to 'remove' Action and the folder containing the saved Actionaction.
