Man: Let's talk about how to manipulate images 3 3
using Pixelmator Pro. 4 4
So the first thing we're gonna do 5 5
is we're gonna grab the two images that we're gonna use 6 6
for this exercise. 7 7
This is the background image, 8 8
and this is the image of me as you can tell, 9 9
my face is washed out and my shirt is supposed 10 10
to be a darker shade of blue. 11 11
And so let's grab these two 12 12
and see if we can fix that image. 13 13
We'll paste the two images in there. 14 14
We'll name them, call it Chris, 15 15
and then we'll call this background image. 16 16
Okay, and let's just deal with the background image first. 17 17
It's pretty simplistic. 18 18
Go up here and just make this smaller 19 19
so it fits on the background. 20 20
There we go, okay good. 21 21
And I wanna make sure it bleeds over, 22 22
so I'm gonna make it slightly bigger. 23 23
And I'll use the arrows just to move it around. 24 24
That's good, okay, great. 25 25
Now, let's take this image of me, 26 26
and let's try to fix it. 27 27
So let's align it where we want it to be 28 28
on the image, that's good. 29 29
And there's supposed to be text in this image here. 30 30
I'm not gonna add text because 31 31
we already know how to do that. 32 32
So let me first of all start 33 33
by getting rid of the background. 34 34
So we select the layer here. 35 35
Then we select this item here. 36 36
Mouse down, hold the mouse down. 37 37
Quick selection. 38 38
Cut, and let's select this one here. 39 39
Cut, good, okay great. 40 40
All right, next step is command D to deselect 41 41
and, oh, I got a little bit more up there. 42 42
Let's see if we can get rid of that. 43 43
Good, okay great. 44 44
And touch down there, cut, okay, and down here, 45 45
good, let's zoom way in here. 46 46
Just get rid of that little dude there. 47 47
Cut, okay, good. 48 48
All right, now what we have to do is we gotta do two things. 49 49
We gotta change the color shirt and fix my face. 50 50
So I'm actually gonna make this two different layers 51 51
so we don't manipulate the entire thing. 52 52
Take this, right click, duplicate, 53 53
and I'll call the top one Chris Face, 54 54
and call the bottom one Chris Shirt. 55 55
Okay, let's start with the face. 56 56
And I'm gonna hide everything else. 57 57
Okay, including this layer here. 58 58
So what I'll do is I'll get rid of the shirt here, 59 59
by just selecting here. 60 60
All right, almost done. 61 61
All right, and now I will hit cut. 62 62
And we gotta get rid of that stuff down there. 63 63
So what I'll do is I'll just get this box, 64 64
draw a box, cut. 65 65
Okay, good, we're done. 66 66
So my face is done, we can now show the shirt again. 67 67
Let's just show everything else too. 68 68
That's a, doesn't exist there, the background, 69 69
but we'll show it anyway, whatever. 70 70
And you can even delete this, doesn't matter. 71 71
Delete, okay, good. 72 72
All right, command D and let's go to my face, 73 73
just my face, okay? 74 74
All right, let's select my face, up here, 75 75
and let's go down here to this guy, 76 76
which is colors, okay. 77 77
Adjust colors, and let's reduce exposure on my face. 78 78
Okay, good, huh, that's pretty cool. 79 79
And maybe the color slightly. 80 80
It's not really doing too much. 81 81
I don't want to change my hair around too much, 82 82
so I'll leave that as is. 83 83
That actually might be good. 84 84
That might be good. 85 85
Not bad, eh? 86 86
All right, let's deselect, see the way it used 87 87
to look like, night and day, okay good, all right. 88 88
Let's quit while we're ahead. 89 89
Let's go to the shirt now, 90 90
and the shirt's supposed to be blue. 91 91
So let's go down here again to adjust colors. 92 92
Scroll to the top and maybe it's temperature. 93 93
It looks slightly more blue there. 94 94
Actually, yeah, that's a lot more like 95 95
the way it used to look. 96 96
Oh, here we go, yes, that's the way 97 97
the shirt looks there, that's the color. 98 98
Okay, good, we're done, we're done. 99 99
And what we'll do now is we're going to export 100 100
and it's a small file size, under a meg. 101 101
And we'll call it manipulate image jpg. 102 102
And let's go check the final product. 103 103
All right, not bad, not bad. 104 104
Okay, cool. 105 105
If you have additional questions, please let me know. 106 106
Thanks.
