2. Looking Ahead (Mar 3)

If you want to do a room interior for your final project, you can use the file you are making here. Or you can make a new one!

3. File Set Up: Choose Method to Rename a Copy (Mar 3)

Method 1: Rename a Copy with Save As

When you SAVE AS and TYPE in a NEW file name, you are actually making a copy and the original file stays unchanged with the original file name

1. Open your Room Interior 1 File in Photopea

2. File > Save as PSD

3. In the Save as PSD file, follow the example in blue text below and rename a copy of your file.

4. Find a Flat Room Detail on the Internet (Mar 4)

See room detail ideas listed to the right and find one you like on the internet. Make sure it is a plain photographic image and not someone else's artwork unless it it clear that you are presenting someone else's artwork like a framed painting by an artist

2. Make sure the pixel dimension is big enough! Remember your file is 300 DPI and it's 16" wide. Do the math!

3. Paste it into your file

4. Position it so the nearest edge is where you want it to be. The nearest edge of this window is the left edge.

IDEAS of FLAT DETAILS

Framed artwork
Window
Door
Rug
Flat Screen TV
Poster
Mirror

5. Draw Diagonals to the Vanishing Point with The Line Tool (March 4)

Select the line tool (find it hiding underneath the rectangle tool of you don't see it)
Create two diagonal lines, each connecting first to one of the nearest corners (top left and top right in example here) and then to the vanishing point.

6. Transform Window (March 4)

LOCK the line layers in the layers panel

2. Use the following 2 Transform options until you get the room detail diagonals properly lined up to the vanishing point. Be sure the keep the other edges perfectly horizontal or vertical.

• Transform > Perspective (Corner Tabs)

In the EDIT MENU. For best results, only click on corner tabs with the Perspective Option

• Transform > Distort (Middle Tabs)

IN THE EDIT MENU. For best results, only click on center tabs with the Distort option

Delete Diagonal Layers (March 7)

Repeat the process for your second room detail (March 8)

1. Don't forget to be careful! Make sure you DON'T DRAW LINES on your IMAGE LAYERS!

How to Add Round Details (March 9)

Cut out the round object after you transforms it!

Add as many more as you would like

The Rubric calls for 2 details. If you don't want them in your final work, show them to me for credit and then delete them!

How to Add More 3D Looking Objects

1. If you would like to add something that has more depth to it, find an image that is already about the right angle to connect to your vanishing point.

2. Use Edit > Transform > Warp to get the diagonals to line up as best as you can
