Quick demo of the ClipDrop plugin for Adobe Photoshop
TLDRIn this quick demo, we explore the ClipDrop plugin for Adobe Photoshop, showcasing its ease of use and powerful features. Starting with the mobile app, we capture an image of a jacket, which is then seamlessly imported into our document. The plugin's non-destructive mask allows for easy adjustments to the edges and contrast, resulting in a clean extraction. Next, we add a sketch from the same collection, resizing and positioning it with precision. To enhance the mood board, we search the web for a fox image, which is also extracted and added to the board, maintaining its intricate details. Finally, we incorporate text by searching for a poem online, extracting it, and pasting it into the project. The entire process, from capturing images to finalizing the mood board, is completed in minutes, highlighting ClipDrop's efficiency and versatility.
