 Hello everybody, welcome back to another Photoshop tutorial. This one gonna show you how to replicate that very cool look from the predator. This is a thermal image or a heat map type style and if you go over here you'll see here that I've got this bulldog or actually it's a boxer part of me and this is a standard boxer and then I sort of heat map the pupper and yeah we had a little bit of fun with this one. So I'm gonna show you how to do this in just about two minutes. So let's start from scratch and follow along with me. Alright, so step one load up any image of your choice in this case I've got this beautiful boxer dog and now let's get cracking. The first step is I'm gonna go to the left side here to my selection tool and in particular I'm gonna select the quick selection tool and then I'm gonna go up to the top here and select the subject so I'm gonna click on this down arrow make sure that cloud is selected because it gives you a better result and then just left click select subject. When you do that very quickly here you'll see here that it's done a very good selection of just the dog and not the background. So I want just the dog to be not the background because that would make more sense. So the next step is you want to hold down the command key on a Mac or the control key on a PC and then press the letter J. When you do that this makes a layer via copy. So what we've done essentially is we've made a copy of the dog but not the background layer. So we're now just gonna go ahead and work on the thermal imaging or the heat map of the dog. Alright so with the bottom layer turned off and just the top layer turned on or the layer via copy that we just created now what you want to do is you want to create a gradient map I know gradient map heat map they sound pretty similar well it is. So let me show you how this goes. So what you want to do is you want to go down here to the bottom and then you're going to see here create new fill or adjustment layer click on that and then just basically go down here to the bottom and select gradient map when you do that it's going to default select a gradient for you and don't worry about it you can go ahead and make all the adjustments you want. So what you want to do here is once you've done that I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to click on reverse so I'm going to reverse the coloring on this. This is just something you don't have to do this but it makes it easier in my opinion. So I've clicked on reverse and now I'm going to click on this down arrow and what I want is under basics you'll see here one that says black to white so I'm going to hover over this one here and then it should say black to white but it's not hovering but whatever. So we want the black to white there it is black comma white this is the one we want to work with it's the easiest in my opinion. So we've gone ahead selected that gradient map now what you want to do is you want to just click on the coloring here so anywhere between the white and the black just click anywhere in this basic line or rectangle and this basically loads up the gradient map coloring we've got the black on the left and the white on the right and these are called stops so what I'm going to do now is I'm actually basically just going to click on this double I'm just going to double click on the black and it allows me to swap out whatever color I want so right now it's set to black but in this case I'm going to set it to a dark red just so you guys can see where we're going with this so let's go with something nice and dark yeah let's go with something like that and then click on okay so we're going now and creating our heat map or our thermal imaging effect I'm going to go forward a little bit on the down here on the gradient and then you'll see here if I hover over the rectangle here between the colors I get an eyedropper but if I hover a little bit below it you'll see I get a finger and this is basically allowing me to add a stop so I'm going to click on right about there I'm going to add another color stop going to double click on it and this one will be the blue let's go with a dark blue for example and again we can adjust all of these colors as we see fit I just want to show you the technique and then we'll just keep going from there so there we go we've got a bit of a red in there we've got some blue I'm going to go a little further down here and in this one I'm going to bring in some of that green so I'm going to bring in a green like that maybe oh yeah let's go bright green why not okay and then what other colors that we had there was a little bit of purple in there as well so I'm going to click kind of right beside it I'm going to double click on this and I'm going to add in kind of that purple look to it so we've got some green there we've got some blue we've got some red and again you can just you can just see that I can just pull these apart and adjust these colors as I see fit so you're not locked into anything nothing stuck and then if I wanted to add in another color let's say maybe this one will be a bit more of that I don't know kind of like between a red and a purple somewhere in there yeah let's go with a darker color yeah let's go with something like that there we go this is a good color add that color in and literally I'm just going ahead and adding in the colors adjusting them as I see fit and creating the thermal imaging or the heat map effect just like that so I've actually gone ahead and saved the one that I like so I'm just going to load it just to show you but there we go we've got red and then we got some spaces we got some blue then a darker blue then another red and then a blue and then a green at the end there and this looks pretty convincing to me so these are some colors that I would use but again go nuts try it out do whatever works for you that's the technique thanks for watching
