To create and manage custom brushes, first create a black and white image or selection and define it as a brush preset, then design the brush shape by creating a new document or selection, and then save it using "Edit - Define Brush Preset". When organizing brushes, you can open the brush panel to create new groups and organize categories; adjust brush settings such as shape dynamics, scattering, and textures to optimize effects; finally export the selected brush as .abr files through the brush preset panel for backup or sharing.

The main advantages of using linked smart objects are that file management is more efficient, file size is smaller, and collaboration is more convenient. Specifically: 1. Linking smart objects to achieve cross-project updates by referring to external source files, and can be synchronized to all associated documents in one place; 2. Since the original file is not embedded in PSD, the file size is significantly reduced and the opening and processing speed is improved; 3. Support better version control and team collaboration, which facilitates the handover of resources separately without exposing the complete design. At the same time, attention should be paid to keeping the file path consistent to avoid chain breakage. In contrast, embedded smart objects are suitable for final delivery files without subsequent modifications, while linked smart objects are more suitable for long-term maintenance and multi-file collaborative work.

Photoshop's Select and Obscure workspace simplifies the processing of complex selections with granular edge adjustments, real-time feedback and multiple output options. First, use the "Refine Edge Brush Tool" to accurately modify hair or soft edges, and support quick adjustment of brush size and sensitivity; second, it provides multiple real-time preview modes such as overlay, black field, and ant line to facilitate timely correction; second, it quickly adjusts edge smoothness, feathering and other parameters through sliders to optimize the selection effect; finally, it supports outputting the results as selections, masks or new documents, seamlessly connecting subsequent processes.

Dithering is a technique that simulates more colors through pixel arrangement to reduce visual loss when color depth is reduced. When the image color depth is reduced, if it drops from 24-bit colors (about 16 million colors) to 8-bit colors (only 256 colors), a large amount of color information will be lost, resulting in a smooth gradient of ribbons or flat areas; dithering makes it visually blended by spreading pixels of different colors, thereby softening the transition effect. Its principle is based on the ability of the human eye to fuse adjacent pixels, making the overall vision close to the original image, and is especially suitable for low-color formats such as GIF, limited color support device display and digital art stylization. Whether to use dithering depends on the specific needs: ?Usage scenarios include converting photos or complex graphics to limited color tuning

Artboards is used in design software to manage multiple variants or screen layouts. Its core role is to organize design content, improve navigation efficiency, and facilitate delivery and display. They operate like standalone pages and can accommodate different screen sizes, design variants, or process steps such as mobile layouts, desktop versions, and dark mode. By grouping relevant designs, such as registration, boot, and dashboard pages in user processes and reasonably naming them, clarity and prototype link efficiency can be improved. With automatic layout and constraints, components can be reused across artboards and maintained consistency, and all instances are updated synchronously when modifying the main component. At the same time, you need to pay attention to file performance to avoid slowing down too many high-detail artboards. You can optimize file efficiency by hiding inactive artboards, reducing asset repetitions, and using variants.

It is not difficult to play Photoshop with a tablet, the key is to master several key points. 1. Install PhotoshopforiPad and log in to your Adobe account, enable automatic save, set gesture shortcut keys, and customize the toolbar. 2. Be familiar with the simplified interface layout and focus on mastering layer management, selection tools and modification tools. 3. Use ApplePencil to improve accuracy and set touch operation habits to improve efficiency. 4. Use seamless synchronization with the desktop version to achieve efficient collaboration between mobile editing and fine processing.
