00:00:00.00 --> 00:00:01.00

- [Voiceover] In this movie,



2

00:00:01.00 --> 00:00:03.05

I'll show you how to

work with linked images



3

00:00:03.05 --> 00:00:05.00

here inside Illustrator.



4

00:00:05.00 --> 00:00:06.08

So if you're working along with me,



5

00:00:06.08 --> 00:00:09.02

make sure that your placed

photograph is selected



6

00:00:09.02 --> 00:00:11.03

and all you have to do in

order to make that happen



7

00:00:11.03 --> 00:00:13.00

is to just click on it

with the black arrow tool.



8

00:00:13.00 --> 00:00:15.05

Then, notice this Linked File option



9

00:00:15.05 --> 00:00:17.07

on the far left side of the control panel.



10

00:00:17.07 --> 00:00:18.08

If you click on it,



11

00:00:18.08 --> 00:00:21.08

you'll bring up the Scalable

Links Panel right here



12

00:00:21.08 --> 00:00:23.00

which by default is gonna



13

00:00:23.00 --> 00:00:25.01

list every single placed image



14

00:00:25.01 --> 00:00:27.03

whether it's linked or embedded.



15

00:00:27.03 --> 00:00:29.06

Now, if you want to know more

information about an image,



16

00:00:29.06 --> 00:00:32.07

then just make sure it's

active here inside the panel



17

00:00:32.07 --> 00:00:34.05

and then click on this arrowhead



18

00:00:34.05 --> 00:00:36.04

in the bottom left corner of the panel



19

00:00:36.04 --> 00:00:38.05

in order to twirl open the details



20

00:00:38.05 --> 00:00:40.01

and you will, among other things,



21

00:00:40.01 --> 00:00:42.01

see this location item right here



22

00:00:42.01 --> 00:00:44.02

and so if you want to

locate the original file,



23

00:00:44.02 --> 00:00:46.05

all you have to do is

click on this hot link



24

00:00:46.05 --> 00:00:49.04

in order to open the folder

in an independent window.



25

00:00:49.04 --> 00:00:51.02

I'm gonna go ahead and

click in the document



26

00:00:51.02 --> 00:00:53.00

to return to Illustrator



27

00:00:53.00 --> 00:00:55.07

and then I'll once again

click the words linked file.



28

00:00:55.07 --> 00:00:57.02

Notice we can see the resolution



29

00:00:57.02 --> 00:01:01.03

which is 300 pixels per inch, hence ppi,



30

00:01:01.03 --> 00:01:03.05

and that's something of

an industry standard.



31

00:01:03.05 --> 00:01:06.05

It means 300 pixels

wide by 300 pixels tall



32

00:01:06.05 --> 00:01:09.01

per each and every inch.



33

00:01:09.01 --> 00:01:11.04

Which means that we have 300 times 300



34

00:01:11.04 --> 00:01:14.03

equals 90,000 pixels per square inch.



35

00:01:14.03 --> 00:01:17.01

We're also seeing the

dimensions listed in pixels,



36

00:01:17.01 --> 00:01:20.08

the date the image was created

and modified, and so forth.



37

00:01:20.08 --> 00:01:23.05

Alright, I'm gonna go ahead

and twirl that stuff closed



38

00:01:23.05 --> 00:01:26.06

and turn my attention to

these icons right here,



39

00:01:26.06 --> 00:01:29.09

down here in the bottom

right corner of the panel,



40

00:01:29.09 --> 00:01:31.03

and we're going to visit them



41

00:01:31.03 --> 00:01:33.01

in the opposite order of their listed.



42

00:01:33.01 --> 00:01:34.09

Starting with this pencil icon



43

00:01:34.09 --> 00:01:38.07

which allows us to edit the

original image inside Photoshop.



44

00:01:38.07 --> 00:01:41.02

So, it's gonna go ahead and

open the image in Photoshop



45

00:01:41.02 --> 00:01:44.02

so that we can apply any

modifications we like



46

00:01:44.02 --> 00:01:47.03

and I'm just gonna do something

really simple but obvious.



47

00:01:47.03 --> 00:01:50.06

By going up to the image

menu, choosing adjustments,



48

00:01:50.06 --> 00:01:52.04

and then choosing invert



49

00:01:52.04 --> 00:01:56.06

which is going to change every

single pixel in this image



50

00:01:56.06 --> 00:01:59.01

and produce an extremely gruesome effect.



51

00:01:59.01 --> 00:02:01.02

Alright, let's go ahead and save our work



52

00:02:01.02 --> 00:02:03.05

by going up to the file menu

and choosing the Save command



53

00:02:03.05 --> 00:02:05.04

or, of course, you can

just press Control S



54

00:02:05.04 --> 00:02:06.09

or Command S on the MAC



55

00:02:06.09 --> 00:02:09.08

and now notice, if I switch

back over to Illustrator,



56

00:02:09.08 --> 00:02:12.06

the program's gonna tell me

that there's at least one file



57

00:02:12.06 --> 00:02:14.09

that's been modified in the Links Panel.



58

00:02:14.09 --> 00:02:16.02

If you'd like to update it,



59

00:02:16.02 --> 00:02:18.03

then just go ahead and

click on the Yes button



60

00:02:18.03 --> 00:02:20.03

and you'll see your modification reflected



61

00:02:20.03 --> 00:02:22.05

here inside Illustrator.



62

00:02:22.05 --> 00:02:25.05

Alright, obviously I don't

want to be inverted, however



63

00:02:25.05 --> 00:02:27.00

so I'm gonna edit that image again.



64

00:02:27.00 --> 00:02:30.04

This time, by clicking on

this button, Edit Original,



65

00:02:30.04 --> 00:02:32.01

up here in the Control Panel.



66

00:02:32.01 --> 00:02:34.02

Does exactly the same thing.



67

00:02:34.02 --> 00:02:36.09

It's gonna take you back over to Photoshop



68

00:02:36.09 --> 00:02:38.02

and now, I'll just return to that command



69

00:02:38.02 --> 00:02:39.05

by going to the image menu,



70

00:02:39.05 --> 00:02:42.05

choosing Adjustments, and choosing Invert



71

00:02:42.05 --> 00:02:44.03

and I'll once again save my changes



72

00:02:44.03 --> 00:02:46.03

and switch back over to Illustrator.



73

00:02:46.03 --> 00:02:48.04

Again, It's going to ask

me if I want to update



74

00:02:48.04 --> 00:02:49.08

that linked image.



75

00:02:49.08 --> 00:02:51.08

This time I'm gonna say No



76

00:02:51.08 --> 00:02:54.09

and the reason is that

takes us to the next icon.



77

00:02:54.09 --> 00:02:58.05

So, if I go ahead and click

on Linked File once again,



78

00:02:58.05 --> 00:03:00.04

notice we're seeing

this little warning icon



79

00:03:00.04 --> 00:03:03.03

which tells us we need to

update the selected image



80

00:03:03.03 --> 00:03:06.01

which you can do by clicking

on this next icon to the left.



81

00:03:06.01 --> 00:03:09.06

So, just go ahead an click

on the Update Link icon.



82

00:03:09.06 --> 00:03:11.09

Now you may still see

a little warning icon,



83

00:03:11.09 --> 00:03:14.01

in which case, just go

ahead and hide the panel



84

00:03:14.01 --> 00:03:16.08

by clicking on the Linked File once again



85

00:03:16.08 --> 00:03:19.02

and the reason, by the way,

I'm getting this warning,



86

00:03:19.02 --> 00:03:21.04

right here, is because I

have another document open



87

00:03:21.04 --> 00:03:24.06

with that same image inside of it



88

00:03:24.06 --> 00:03:26.06

and so I'll just go ahead and

click the No button for now,



89

00:03:26.06 --> 00:03:29.05

and now notice, If I once

again bring up the Links Panel,



90

00:03:29.05 --> 00:03:32.01

that the warning icon has gone away.



91

00:03:32.01 --> 00:03:35.03

It has not gone away however,

in this other document.



92

00:03:35.03 --> 00:03:37.02

Notice we have a bunch of inverted images



93

00:03:37.02 --> 00:03:38.09

and to update those,



94

00:03:38.09 --> 00:03:41.03

I'll go ahead and click

on this one guy here



95

00:03:41.03 --> 00:03:44.02

because he's repeated a

couple of times dynamically



96

00:03:44.02 --> 00:03:46.06

but now notice that we're not

seeing the words Linked File



97

00:03:46.06 --> 00:03:48.01

up here in the control panel



98

00:03:48.01 --> 00:03:49.09

and if that happens to you,



99

00:03:49.09 --> 00:03:52.01

then you can bring up the

Independent Links Panel



100

00:03:52.01 --> 00:03:53.07

by going up to the window menu



101

00:03:53.07 --> 00:03:56.02

and choosing the Links command



102

00:03:56.02 --> 00:03:57.09

and then, here inside the Links Panel,



103

00:03:57.09 --> 00:04:01.00

go ahead and click on

that Update Link icon



104

00:04:01.00 --> 00:04:05.06

in order to update all three

images inside this document.



105

00:04:05.06 --> 00:04:07.06

Alright, I'll go ahead

and hide that panel now



106

00:04:07.06 --> 00:04:09.08

and switch back to the

one that I'm working on



107

00:04:09.08 --> 00:04:12.01

and I'll click on the words

Linked File once again



108

00:04:12.01 --> 00:04:15.09

so that we can take a look

at this next guy, Go To Link.



109

00:04:15.09 --> 00:04:17.06

Now, that's gonna take you



110

00:04:17.06 --> 00:04:19.06

to the art board that contains this image



111

00:04:19.06 --> 00:04:22.06

and so, If I had a dozen or so images,



112

00:04:22.06 --> 00:04:24.05

across a bunch of different art boards,



113

00:04:24.05 --> 00:04:26.07

this could be a very useful feature to me.



114

00:04:26.07 --> 00:04:28.09

In my case, I have just one art board



115

00:04:28.09 --> 00:04:30.05

and I'm staring right at the image



116

00:04:30.05 --> 00:04:32.09

so I don't need to click on this icon



117

00:04:32.09 --> 00:04:35.07

but I could click on Relink

in order to replace this image



118

00:04:35.07 --> 00:04:37.01

with a different one



119

00:04:37.01 --> 00:04:40.00

so, I'll just go ahead and

click on this Chain icon, here,



120

00:04:40.00 --> 00:04:43.09

in order to, once again, bring

up the Place dialogue box



121

00:04:43.09 --> 00:04:45.06

and I'll select that image of the gorilla



122

00:04:45.06 --> 00:04:48.02

and notice that not only is

the Link check box turned on



123

00:04:48.02 --> 00:04:51.01

but so is the Replace check box



124

00:04:51.01 --> 00:04:53.06

and it's dim to show me

that I can't turn it off.



125

00:04:53.06 --> 00:04:56.02

At which point, I'll go ahead

and click on the Place button



126

00:04:56.02 --> 00:05:00.01

in order to replace my face

with this dashing gorilla.



127

00:05:00.01 --> 00:05:01.08

Alright, that leaves us just one icon



128

00:05:01.08 --> 00:05:04.05

which allows you to

relink from CC Libraries.



129

00:05:04.05 --> 00:05:06.09

We're gonna save that

one for the next chapter



130

00:05:06.09 --> 00:05:09.02

when we talk about the Libraries Panel.



131

00:05:09.02 --> 00:05:11.00

Alright, I'll go ahead and hide this panel



132

00:05:11.00 --> 00:05:13.04

by clicking off of it and

then I'll press Control Z



133

00:05:13.04 --> 00:05:16.04

or Command Z on the MAC

to bring back my face



134

00:05:16.04 --> 00:05:19.08

and that's how you work with linked images



135

00:05:19.08 --> 00:05:21.03

here inside Illustrator.
