-: In this lecture what we're going to do 3 3
is we're gonna create a file 4 4
and fix a broken image by manipulating it. 5 5
And so, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get 6 6
a background image and then a picture of me that's broken 7 7
and we'll fix the image, so to speak. 8 8
So, we know that we do 1280 by 720 for YouTube images 9 9
and then what I'm gonna do is I'm going to 10 10
import a couple of images. 11 11
That's the broken image of me. 12 12
That shirt color is supposed to be blue. 13 13
My face is a little washed out too. 14 14
So let's grab the background image here. 15 15
And then I'll put in this image of me on top. 16 16
And we're gonna try to remove the background, the white 17 17
and then we're gonna fix the shirt and my face as well. 18 18
Now, when I try to remove the background here 19 19
it won't let me. 20 20
So we gotta put this image into a way, 21 21
into a format that Photoshop will allow me to do that. 22 22
So we right click on the image and we select 23 23
rasterize layer. 24 24
'Kay. 25 25
Then we hit enter. 26 26
Let's try again. 27 27
Good. 28 28
All right. 29 29
So, now we're removing the background. 30 30
Okay, good. 31 31
And let me just make this a little bit smaller here. 32 32
'Kay. 33 33
And we gotta do a couple more things now. 34 34
We gotta fix my face and the shirt. 35 35
The shirt is actually blue and not that color. 36 36
So, what we'll do is we'll select the shirt. 37 37
'Kay. 38 38
Keep clicking down here to select all these areas, 39 39
if we can. 40 40
It doesn't have do be perfect. 41 41
And we gotta make blue, so we're gonna go up here 42 42
to image, adjustment, and color balance. 43 43
And there we go. 44 44
Yeah, that's the color of the shirt. 45 45
Cool. 46 46
All right, we fixed the shirt. 47 47
Now we gotta fix the face. 48 48
All right, so I've selected my face. 49 49
Let me deselect the shirt to select the face. 50 50
'Kay. 51 51
And the first thing we're gonna do is we're going to 52 52
fix the contrast, the brightness. 53 53
It's pretty powerful. 54 54
It's amazing. 55 55
All right, and the contrasts moves slightly. 56 56
Okay, I think we're almost done with this. 57 57
And what we can also do, and this doesn't 58 58
always work, but if we zoom in you see my face 59 59
is a little bit blurry. 60 60
'Kay. 61 61
(mumbling) 62 62
Let's go to sharpen. 63 63
Watch my eyes. 64 64
Oh, it worked, good. 65 65
Let's try even more, see if we can sharpen it again. 66 66
Sharpen. 67 67
Cool. 68 68
All right, great! 69 69
It worked. 70 70
Awesome! 71 71
And we're done. 72 72
We're done. 73 73
And I had this as one of my YouTube thumbnail images. 74 74
My text here is, well, 75 75
we've already talked a lot about 76 76
entering text so I'm just gonna 77 77
leave it at that. 78 78
As always, I'm gonna include both these files 79 79
in the Photoshop file. 80 80
Attach this lecture for you to download, 81 81
That's three files. 82 82
One background, two me, three the Photoshop file. 83 83
And if you have additional questions, as always, 84 84
please let me know. 85 85
Thank you. 86 86
I almost forgot, we have to export this. 87 87
So, we're gonna go to file, export as, and 88 88
let me just see what the image size is here. 89 89
We always have to keep it under two megabytes. 90 90
1.3, that's not bad. 91 91
That's pretty good. 92 92
And it'll get even smaller if we go to jpeg. 93 93
Yay! 94 94
Okay, great! 95 95
So, I'll export this. 96 96
I'll call it manipulate image jpeg. 97 97
Thanks.
