Leading in Photoshop is a critical part of creating effective images. By following these tips, you can adjust your lead to create more impactful and professional photos.

  1. Choose the right lead type There are three main lead types in Photoshop: solid, dashed, and dotted. Solid leads are the most common and are used for basic photo composition and design. Dashed leads are used for more complex designs and can be used to add motion or interest to your photos. Dotted leads are used for more creative effects and can be used to add a 3D effect or a special effect such as highlights or shadows.
  2. Use a leading edge When using a solid lead, always use a leading edge to create an even look in your photos. This will help prevent your photos from looking out of place or out of focus. To create a leading edge, use one or more lines of text or graphics that run along the top or bottom of your photo. This will help give your photo an even appearance while also adding interest and motion.
  3. Use perspective adjustments When using a dashed lead, it is important to adjust the perspective of your photo so that it looks realistic and accurate. To do this, use one or more Perspective Adjustment Layer properties to change the angle at which your photo appears from side-to-side, up-and-down, left-to-right, etcetera. This will help make sure that your lead is properly balanced and looks realistic when displayed onscreen.
