- In this movie we're going to override
some of these aberrant colors,
these magentas and yellows in the stars,
and replace them with what I'm calling
the Core Pantone 285, that deep blue
that we first designed in Illustrator.
And what I'd like to do is modify the blend modes
assigned to the Galaxy and Nebula layers.
In other words it'd be great if there was
some combination of a screen mode,
which I've applied so far, and a color mode,
or some way of applying both modes at the same time.
But as you may know, Photoshop lets you assign
just one blend mode to any given layer,
so what we're gonna have to do
is create a new layer and blend it.
So the first thing I'm gonna do
is click on the top layer in the stack
and then I'll go over to the Paths panel
and I'm gonna create a copy of this path right here
by selecting it first, and then I'll press the A key
to switch to my black arrow tool,
and I'll click on this big path to select it.
And the idea is I wanna select this path
independently of the circle,
and so I'll just go ahead and copy it
by pressing Ctrl+C, Cmd+C on a Mac,
then I'll drop down to the little page icon
at the bottom of the Paths panel,
and Alt+ or Option+Click on it
so that I force the display of the New Path dialog box,
and I'll go ahead and call this guy Ovoid, let's say,
and click OK, and then I'll press Ctrl+V
or Cmd+V on a Mac to paste a copy of that path.
Alright now with that copy selected,
with this path here inside the Paths panel active,
I want you to return to the Layers panel,
again make sure that top layer is selected,
and then go up to the Layer menu,
choose New Fill Layer, and choose Solid Color.
And I'll go ahead and name this layer
let's say Core 285 and then I'll click OK.
And notice that Photoshop goes ahead
and automatically fills that path outline
with black, so in other words
we have ourselves a vector-based shape layer.
In order to fill it with Pantone 285,
you want to click on the Color Libraries button
here inside the Color Picker dialog box,
and then just type in 285.
And assuming that you have your book
set to Pantone Plus Solid Coated,
that's very important, then that will automatically,
just by typing in 285,
it'll select Pantone 285C from the list,
at which point you can just go ahead and click OK,
and you can rest assured of course
that you have the proper Pantone color selected.
Now the only thing left is to go ahead
and change the blend mode from Normal to Color
in order to color those stars in the background.
And if you don't wanna see that path outline anymore,
just go ahead and switch back
to the rectangular marquee tool like so,
and then finally I decided to back off
the opacity a little bit by typing 66,
which reduces the opacity value
in the upper right corner of the Layers panel to 66%.
And just like that we've managed to reinstate
the original deep blue color of the logo.
And that's how you take that Pantone 285
that we first applied inside of Illustrator
and essentially reapply it to our
photographic montage here inside Photoshop.
