How to Create a File Structure for Solar System Scene - Photoshop

Hello and welcome to this tutorial from adobe.nicnacs.tk and today I'm going to be showing you how to setup a file structure to save all of your files structures. So if you saw the spray painting which you should have done by now, if you plan on making this, you would see that I started off with black canvas and I just painted it all off. Now while that was effective, because we’re going to be doing in lots of sections in separate tutorials, I think it would be better if we save them out, each of the planet structure individual files. Now the advantages of that would mean that if we did future and documents and made future pieces that would need planets, to save having to redo them each time, we could just import this file.

So what I thought best to do first would be to setup a file structure. So that’s exactly what we’re going to do. So in my tutorials file section, I haven’t used this yet. This is completely empty. We’re just going to create a new folder. I'm just going to call it “Solar System”. And I'm going to go into that folder and then what we’re going to do is create a new folder again. We’re going to call this “planets”. And I'm going to go into the planets folder. I'm going to create two new folders. The first one is going to be named Photoshop Documents and the second one is going to be named JPEGs.

Okay, so that’s the basic Solar System file structures set up and we want to do one more folder out here. I want to call this “Complete Piece”. And then in the Complete Piece folder, I'm going to create two new folders like last time, one is going to be called “Photoshop Documents” and then the second is going to be called “JPEGs”.

Then we’re going to go back out, I'm going to create a last folder in the section and this is going to be called “Extras”. So these might be extra files you need to import. So let’s say and I want to put my signature file because my tablet is playing up. So even though we might not use this, it might be useful having it in case you decide to add stuff later which wasn’t actually part of the original piece.

So that’s the fast track to setup. So we should go back into Photoshop. What we’re going to be doing next time is start on our planets, we’ll start with this one here, the orbit type planet. And so I’ll see you then. But if you like this video and any others, please comment, rate or subscribe to them and please checkout my site, that’s www.adobe.nicnacs.tk.
