1 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,640 I'm gonna make this a little bit sharper, the image of me. 2 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,950 And I also wanna get rid of the word YouTube. 3 3 00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:06,970 Let's just say for some reason I wanna get rid of that. 4 4 00:00:06,970 --> 00:00:08,900 So let's do YouTube first, let's get rid of that. 5 5 00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:11,797 So make sure you select the appropriate layer, 6 6 00:00:11,797 --> 00:00:13,513 meaning the layer of me. 7 7 00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:18,000 And then you go over here and you select this guy here, 8 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,260 which is called a clone stamp tool, okay. 9 9 00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:25,430 So let's get rid of YouTube entirely. 10 10 00:00:25,430 --> 00:00:28,550 Now watch what happens when I click here. 11 11 00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:30,500 It's gonna say, hey wait a second. 12 12 00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:32,330 I don't know what you're trying to do. 13 13 00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:33,700 And so what you have to do is you have 14 14 00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:37,070 to tell Photoshop what do you wanna clone. 15 15 00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:38,000 And so watch the box here. 16 16 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,570 Let's say option click on the area 17 17 00:00:40,570 --> 00:00:42,860 to define a source point first. 18 18 00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:46,620 It might say ALT click, if you're using Windows. 19 19 00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:51,283 Okay so I'm gonna hit option, and then I'm gonna hit there. 20 20 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,290 Good, and now I basically told Photoshop 21 21 00:00:56,290 --> 00:00:58,420 what I want this cloned place, 22 22 00:00:58,420 --> 00:01:00,290 this cloned stamp to look like. 23 23 00:01:00,290 --> 00:01:02,040 So watch this. 24 24 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,140 I'm not hitting click yet, but it's gonna look like that. 25 25 00:01:05,140 --> 00:01:06,140 Now I'm gonna click. 26 26 00:01:07,170 --> 00:01:10,413 Okay, good, we're getting rid of YouTube, okay. 27 27 00:01:14,150 --> 00:01:15,710 All right so I'm gonna do another, 28 28 00:01:15,710 --> 00:01:18,020 I'm gonna start here and then I'll come down here 29 29 00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:20,270 and I'll do another clone of another section. 30 30 00:01:20,270 --> 00:01:22,890 This will make more sense to you in a second, okay. 31 31 00:01:22,890 --> 00:01:24,603 Good, good. 32 32 00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:30,190 Good, and then what I wanna do is I like 33 33 00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:31,810 to finish off the top part first. 34 34 00:01:31,810 --> 00:01:35,348 So I'm gonna go here, hit option or ALT. 35 35 00:01:35,348 --> 00:01:37,440 And then I'm gonna get rid of this. 36 36 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,240 And you can make it even bigger if you want to. 37 37 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,500 I like to keep it smaller 'cause if you make it too big 38 38 00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:43,920 sometimes it looks artificial. 39 39 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,270 Okay, but you want the imperfections of the shirt 40 40 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:51,090 or the person's skin, whatever, to appear here as well. 41 41 00:01:51,090 --> 00:01:53,890 Or the shade in general, okay. 42 42 00:01:53,890 --> 00:01:56,343 All right, maybe I should make my biceps bigger. 43 43 00:01:58,750 --> 00:02:00,540 All right, just kidding. 44 44 00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:01,960 All right, so going down here. 45 45 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,930 Oh, actually good, it's working out nicely. 46 46 00:02:04,930 --> 00:02:08,010 All right, sometimes I have to reselect another area. 47 47 00:02:08,010 --> 00:02:09,460 That looks kind of fake, okay. 48 48 00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:13,363 So I'm gonna go over here and reselect another area here. 49 49 00:02:14,370 --> 00:02:16,183 Good, looking better. 50 50 00:02:17,810 --> 00:02:19,773 Good, good, good, good. 51 51 00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:23,530 We're getting there. 52 52 00:02:23,530 --> 00:02:25,340 And you can always change the brush size 53 53 00:02:25,340 --> 00:02:27,543 up here if you wanted to, okay. 54 54 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,773 Good, almost there. 55 55 00:02:37,060 --> 00:02:39,550 All right this part here I have to zoom in. 56 56 00:02:39,550 --> 00:02:41,650 It's just too hard to see. 57 57 00:02:41,650 --> 00:02:44,270 And the more you zoom in, the more imperfections you'll see. 58 58 00:02:44,270 --> 00:02:47,003 But this will work out well enough for us, you'll see. 59 59 00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:51,663 Okay, little bit too much red there. 60 60 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,890 Almost there, and what I wanna do now is, 61 61 00:02:56,890 --> 00:03:00,040 I don't want the outside to be soft. 62 62 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,143 I want it to be very hard, okay. 63 63 00:03:03,210 --> 00:03:06,960 The hardness, okay, so instead of it allowing some 64 64 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,335 of that red to stay there by my tiny little bicep, 65 65 00:03:11,335 --> 00:03:14,090 I'm actually gonna make this harsh. 66 66 00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:16,130 Okay, and I can always control Z or command Z 67 67 00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:17,640 if I make a mistake. 68 68 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:19,200 Like that, I don't wanna do that. 69 69 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,720 So right over here just a little bit. 70 70 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,910 Okay, good, we're getting there. 71 71 00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:24,720 And there's millions of ways to do things. 72 72 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,880 Or many ways to do things in Photoshop, 73 73 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,458 as I mentioned before. 74 74 00:03:28,458 --> 00:03:29,291 Alrght, that's good enough. 75 75 00:03:29,291 --> 00:03:30,460 And when we zoom out that should work. 76 76 00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:33,140 There's a little bit of red there, but that should be fine. 77 77 00:03:33,140 --> 00:03:35,500 Okay, good, good, okay we're getting there. 78 78 00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:36,810 It's looking good, eh? 79 79 00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:39,933 All right now what we're ready to do is I wanna change 80 80 00:03:39,933 --> 00:03:42,370 what my face looks like a little bit. 81 81 00:03:42,370 --> 00:03:44,900 Meaning I wanna change the contrast 82 82 00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:46,770 to make it look a little bit sharper as well. 83 83 00:03:46,770 --> 00:03:49,100 So watch this here. 84 84 00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:50,943 Okay, so I'm gonna go up here. 85 85 00:03:52,058 --> 00:03:55,590 And I'm gonna go to, hmm. 86 86 00:03:55,590 --> 00:03:57,160 All right I'm gonna go to filter. 87 87 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,580 And I'm gonna go to sharpen. 88 88 00:04:00,580 --> 00:04:02,280 Okay, so I'm gonna go sharpen. 89 89 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,270 Watch what happens to my face. 90 90 00:04:04,270 --> 00:04:05,420 Okay see how it got sharpened there? 91 91 00:04:05,420 --> 00:04:07,708 I'm gonna hit undo here, watch. 92 92 00:04:07,708 --> 00:04:10,800 Now I'm redo, pretty cool, huh? 93 93 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,708 And you can sharpen a couple times if you want to. 94 94 00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:16,360 Then what I wanna do is I actually 95 95 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,781 want to change around the color. 96 96 00:04:19,781 --> 00:04:24,781 So what I'll do now is I'll go and put in a new layer. 97 97 00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:27,150 It's called the new adjustment layer. 98 98 00:04:28,050 --> 00:04:30,920 So right here I'm gonna go in, I'm gonna change 99 99 00:04:32,158 --> 00:04:33,970 around the color and also the brightness and contrast. 100 100 00:04:33,970 --> 00:04:36,460 Let me do the brightness and contrast first. 101 101 00:04:36,460 --> 00:04:37,557 So I'm gonna select that 102 102 00:04:37,557 --> 00:04:40,130 and I'm gonna name this layer whatever I wanna call it. 103 103 00:04:40,130 --> 00:04:42,610 I'll just let it default to that. 104 104 00:04:42,610 --> 00:04:46,156 So anything below is gonna get, 105 105 00:04:46,156 --> 00:04:48,920 the brightness and contrast will change. 106 106 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,380 So if I hold it up here, 107 107 00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:53,460 if I move drag and drop this up here, watch what happens. 108 108 00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:56,130 Watch the letters first, okay. 109 109 00:04:56,130 --> 00:05:01,130 The letters are gonna change as is the brightness of me. 110 110 00:05:01,340 --> 00:05:04,170 Okay, so what I wanna do is, 111 111 00:05:04,170 --> 00:05:07,040 I don't wanna change the letters, I just wanna change me. 112 112 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,190 So I'll drag it just above me. 113 113 00:05:09,190 --> 00:05:11,320 Okay, now watch when I do this. 114 114 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,030 Drag it over here, the letters don't really change. 115 115 00:05:14,030 --> 00:05:15,940 Obviously that's too much, undo. 116 116 00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:17,470 And I can change the brightness 117 117 00:05:17,470 --> 00:05:19,400 of me a little bit if I wanted to, 118 118 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,608 if it was a little bit too over-exposed, 119 119 00:05:21,608 --> 00:05:25,060 I can change the contrast as well if I wanted to. 120 120 00:05:25,060 --> 00:05:26,571 And sometimes when I record these videos, 121 121 00:05:26,571 --> 00:05:28,140 I'm a little bit washed out 122 122 00:05:28,140 --> 00:05:29,980 because the lights I made too bright. 123 123 00:05:29,980 --> 00:05:31,592 And I looked at a light and I can't see anything. 124 124 00:05:31,592 --> 00:05:36,470 But what I usually do is I go back in post-production 125 125 00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:39,800 and I change the filters on my face in the video 126 126 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,430 as well as here in the thumbnail. 127 127 00:05:42,430 --> 00:05:44,080 Okay, my eyes are back now. 128 128 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,150 Don't even look at the lights. 129 129 00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:48,430 All right so I can change that contrast a bit. 130 130 00:05:48,430 --> 00:05:50,160 And then what I can also do is 131 131 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,740 I can go here, insert another layer, 132 132 00:05:52,740 --> 00:05:56,210 which will be for colors, color balance. 133 133 00:05:56,210 --> 00:05:58,044 Okay great, call it whatever you want. 134 134 00:05:58,044 --> 00:06:01,250 And again, it's gonna affect everything 135 135 00:06:01,250 --> 00:06:03,420 below it okay, not above it. 136 136 00:06:03,420 --> 00:06:05,160 Then I can go here and say I want a little bit 137 137 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,230 more warmth in my face. 138 138 00:06:07,230 --> 00:06:10,330 I can go here to yellow and drag this over a bit. 139 139 00:06:10,330 --> 00:06:11,630 Okay it might be a little bit too much. 140 140 00:06:11,630 --> 00:06:13,150 And a lot of times I get Christine, my wife, 141 141 00:06:13,150 --> 00:06:15,500 to look at it because I can't see colors 142 142 00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:17,420 as much as I used to. 143 143 00:06:17,420 --> 00:06:22,420 Okay, and that should be good actually, that should be good. 144 144 00:06:22,490 --> 00:06:24,533 And oh, what is that on my shirt? 145 145 00:06:25,390 --> 00:06:27,050 That might be, is that a little bit of chocolate? 146 146 00:06:27,050 --> 00:06:28,310 I don't know what that is. 147 147 00:06:28,310 --> 00:06:30,820 I might have been eating something and spilled it. 148 148 00:06:30,820 --> 00:06:33,410 I don't know what that is so I gotta get rid of that. 149 149 00:06:33,410 --> 00:06:36,100 So I'll go back over here, make sure I select the layer, 150 150 00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:41,100 which is me, and I'll go here back to the clone stamp tool. 151 151 00:06:41,470 --> 00:06:43,900 And I wanna get rid of that and just click that there. 152 152 00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:46,350 Okay, that's fine, that should work out. 153 153 00:06:46,350 --> 00:06:48,300 All right that's good enough, good enough. 154 154 00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:50,063 All right so we got rid of YouTube. 155 155 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,500 We made the image a little bit easier to see if you want. 156 156 00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:55,630 Oh, here's a mistake. 157 157 00:06:55,630 --> 00:06:57,400 I only have half a chair there. 158 158 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,740 Okay half my Herman Miller used chair. 159 159 00:07:00,740 --> 00:07:02,990 So I gotta get rid of that. 160 160 00:07:02,990 --> 00:07:04,930 So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna select 161 161 00:07:04,930 --> 00:07:06,750 the quick selection tool. 162 162 00:07:06,750 --> 00:07:10,410 And I'm gonna zoom in and get rid of that part of the chair. 163 163 00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:12,150 See if it works. 164 164 00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:14,570 No, that's not what I want. 165 165 00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:18,410 Okay, let me deselect that by going up here to minus. 166 166 00:07:18,410 --> 00:07:20,670 Hopefully that will work, let's see. 167 167 00:07:20,670 --> 00:07:22,750 All right, let me start over. 168 168 00:07:22,750 --> 00:07:24,713 Control or command D, to deselect. 169 169 00:07:25,580 --> 00:07:26,900 Let me reselect it again. 170 170 00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:30,330 And let me make the brush a lot smaller, really small. 171 171 00:07:30,330 --> 00:07:32,313 Let's see if that helps, okay. 172 172 00:07:33,150 --> 00:07:34,350 And you're gonna make a lot of mistakes 173 173 00:07:34,350 --> 00:07:35,740 when you're using Photoshop. 174 174 00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:37,980 Just know that do multiple steps. 175 175 00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:40,180 Like click, then you select, click, then deselect. 176 176 00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:42,002 That way you can control Z or command Z, 177 177 00:07:42,002 --> 00:07:44,320 or control zeta or command zeta 178 178 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,300 if you're in Canada, each step. 179 179 00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:50,870 So control Z, and then you can also hit deselect. 180 180 00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:52,250 That's command D or control D. 181 181 00:07:52,250 --> 00:07:55,820 Okay good, let's go here, okay getting better. 182 182 00:07:55,820 --> 00:07:58,210 All right, clearly too much. 183 183 00:07:58,210 --> 00:08:00,630 So you're gonna have to play around with it a lot. 184 184 00:08:00,630 --> 00:08:02,880 So I'm gonna deselect this area here. 185 185 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,550 And sometimes you just might say screw it. 186 186 00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:07,370 I'm just gonna erase it altogether. 187 187 00:08:07,370 --> 00:08:10,010 Because this is not the highest resolution image, 188 188 00:08:10,010 --> 00:08:11,440 I'm just gonna use the eraser tool. 189 189 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,920 So let me hit control D or command D to deselect that. 190 190 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,000 And then let me come here to the eraser tool. 191 191 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,810 Okay and play around with it. 192 192 00:08:19,810 --> 00:08:21,290 Like what's this magic eraser tool? 193 193 00:08:21,290 --> 00:08:22,536 What will happen if I do this here? 194 194 00:08:22,536 --> 00:08:24,970 All right, that's too much erasing. 195 195 00:08:24,970 --> 00:08:26,230 So we're gonna undo that. 196 196 00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:30,740 And then I'm gonna go here to background eraser tool. 197 197 00:08:30,740 --> 00:08:31,573 What happens there? 198 198 00:08:31,573 --> 00:08:33,970 Oh, that's not bad, that works out all right. 199 199 00:08:33,970 --> 00:08:37,988 All right let me just go and get the regular eraser tool. 200 200 00:08:37,988 --> 00:08:41,810 All right, okay, that's good, that's making more sense here. 201 201 00:08:41,810 --> 00:08:43,940 And you can even draw an outline if you want. 202 202 00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:45,460 So I'm gonna do part of it this way 203 203 00:08:45,460 --> 00:08:46,893 and part of it by drawing. 204 204 00:08:47,890 --> 00:08:51,790 So if I went up here to this little lasso tool, 205 205 00:08:51,790 --> 00:08:53,700 what I can do is I can actually draw 206 206 00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:55,950 around something like this. 207 207 00:08:55,950 --> 00:08:58,873 And then cut and it's gone. 208 208 00:08:58,873 --> 00:09:02,538 But let's go back here to the eraser tool. 209 209 00:09:02,538 --> 00:09:06,650 And you can zoom way in if you wanna make it perfect. 210 210 00:09:06,650 --> 00:09:09,040 Don't get too carried away by zooming in too much though. 211 211 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,380 Because when you zoom out you won't even be able to tell. 212 212 00:09:12,380 --> 00:09:13,963 All right so that's good there. 213 213 00:09:14,860 --> 00:09:17,557 All right, it's fun too, eh? 214 214 00:09:19,220 --> 00:09:22,750 All right and then I'll go here, drag in. 215 215 00:09:22,750 --> 00:09:26,560 If I make a mistake, woops, I can just go and undo that. 216 216 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,360 And you can always go up here to undo. 217 217 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,430 Okay, I'm erasing a bunch of steps, 218 218 00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:34,170 getting rid of just the outside of that chair. 219 219 00:09:34,170 --> 00:09:36,180 You can even get rid of the entire chair 220 220 00:09:36,180 --> 00:09:38,910 and just leave me in as well, if you wanted to. 221 221 00:09:38,910 --> 00:09:41,400 But I wanna keep this pretty simplistic. 222 222 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,793 Okay, that's good there. 223 223 00:09:45,515 --> 00:09:47,453 A little bit easier, okay good, great. 224 224 00:09:48,530 --> 00:09:49,960 That's good enough. 225 225 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,410 Okay zooming out, that's fine. 226 226 00:09:51,410 --> 00:09:54,340 And the further away you get from it, the less you can see. 227 227 00:09:54,340 --> 00:09:56,880 But when people use Photoshop sometimes, they blow it up 228 228 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,610 to a gazillion times because these things go up 229 229 00:09:59,610 --> 00:10:01,960 on these big billboards as well. 230 230 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,520 We're just doing it on YouTube. 231 231 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,950 So I think I'm happy with that. 232 232 00:10:04,950 --> 00:10:06,163 That looks good to me. 233 233 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,080 Let's see, yeah that's good enough, okay great. 234 234 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,010 So let me save the file first 235 235 00:10:12,010 --> 00:10:17,010 and it's saved in a format called PSD, Photoshop documents. 236 236 00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:18,980 And so what I'm gonna do is, 237 237 00:10:18,980 --> 00:10:22,813 I'm just gonna name it here sample faces. 238 238 00:10:24,430 --> 00:10:25,702 Doesn't matter, it's fine. 239 239 00:10:25,702 --> 00:10:28,890 Then I'm gonna export this. 240 240 00:10:28,890 --> 00:10:29,760 And we're gonna export it 241 241 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,520 so that we can upload this to YouTube. 242 242 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,270 Now YouTube has limitations. 243 243 00:10:35,270 --> 00:10:38,730 Try to keep it if you can under two megabytes. 244 244 00:10:38,730 --> 00:10:40,900 So I'm gonna go here to export. 245 245 00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:45,690 You can export as a png or as a jpeg. 246 246 00:10:45,690 --> 00:10:48,960 There's lots of different formats that YouTube accepts. 247 247 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,020 Just make sure that this here is under two megabytes, it is. 248 248 00:10:53,020 --> 00:10:56,020 Now if it was 2.1 megabytes or way over two, 249 249 00:10:56,020 --> 00:10:59,575 what we would do is we just reduce the width and the height. 250 250 00:10:59,575 --> 00:11:03,490 So for example, we can go to 800 and watch the height, 251 251 00:11:03,490 --> 00:11:05,700 it will automatically be adjusted for us. 252 252 00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:08,650 Down to 450, okay, it's just made it smaller. 253 253 00:11:08,650 --> 00:11:12,490 And now the image size is 253 kilobytes. 254 254 00:11:12,490 --> 00:11:14,240 Let's go back up now to 1280 though. 255 255 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,790 just the way it was, it's fine. 256 256 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,372 Now I'm gonna export this. 257 257 00:11:18,372 --> 00:11:21,300 And I'm gonna export this in, 258 258 00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:24,330 I usually have a naming convention I use. 259 259 00:11:24,330 --> 00:11:25,420 You probably do as well. 260 260 00:11:25,420 --> 00:11:28,670 So for my vlog I usually call it the day number, 261 261 00:11:28,670 --> 00:11:32,030 so call it day, I don't know 354. 262 262 00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:35,030 And then the date, let's say I'm making this up, 263 263 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:38,878 say December 23rd of 2021 whatever, and then whatever it is. 264 264 00:11:38,878 --> 00:11:40,970 So I call it book. 265 265 00:11:40,970 --> 00:11:44,500 And then what is do is, is I save it. 266 266 00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:48,840 It's gonna save and then you just go to YouTube 267 267 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,330 and you upload that thumbnail. 268 268 00:11:50,330 --> 00:11:52,930 Now I'm gonna show you one more quick thing 269 269 00:11:52,930 --> 00:11:55,270 which is inserting an image. 270 270 00:11:55,270 --> 00:11:59,513 And so I get my images online from a certain website. 271 271 00:12:00,380 --> 00:12:02,300 Make sure that if you're gonna use images, 272 272 00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:05,720 that you actually purchase them or have rights to them. 273 273 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,710 Meaning they're royalty-free. 274 274 00:12:07,710 --> 00:12:09,790 Okay so if I were to upload the video, 275 275 00:12:09,790 --> 00:12:11,420 I click here to upload. 276 276 00:12:11,420 --> 00:12:16,420 But let me go now to Storyblocks, which is what I use. 277 277 00:12:16,510 --> 00:12:19,740 So I use Storyblocks, and then images. 278 278 00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:23,940 And let's search for, I don't know, the word book. 279 279 00:12:23,940 --> 00:12:27,740 And say there's a certain book that we want to use here. 280 280 00:12:27,740 --> 00:12:30,340 Okay let me look through, that looks pretty cool. 281 281 00:12:30,340 --> 00:12:31,173 That looks pretty cool, 282 282 00:12:31,173 --> 00:12:33,265 it might be a little bit complicated though, 283 283 00:12:33,265 --> 00:12:34,730 because I'd have to actually crop out a lot of this stuff. 284 284 00:12:34,730 --> 00:12:36,810 But you know what, I'm gonna challenge myself. 285 285 00:12:36,810 --> 00:12:39,270 And we're gonna use this book here. 286 286 00:12:39,270 --> 00:12:41,120 Okay, so just for fun. 287 287 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,000 I don't know what book that is, 288 288 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,700 but I'm gonna click download here. 289 289 00:12:44,580 --> 00:12:47,370 And that's a 12 and a half megabyte file. 290 290 00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:49,290 And there's many different ways to import it. 291 291 00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:51,790 You can copy and paste or just import. 292 292 00:12:51,790 --> 00:12:54,490 What I usually do is I drag and drop. 293 293 00:12:54,490 --> 00:12:57,900 So you can actually go to your finder 294 294 00:12:57,900 --> 00:13:00,640 or you can go to the Windows Explorer 295 295 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,988 if you're using Windows. 296 296 00:13:01,988 --> 00:13:03,840 Then you can just drag and drop here. 297 297 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,880 Or you can just copy the image and paste it. 298 298 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,663 Okay so let's go here to downloads where that document was. 299 299 00:13:10,663 --> 00:13:13,030 And I'm gonna drag this right here. 300 300 00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:16,910 And it's gonna add it, and let's say we resize it 301 301 00:13:16,910 --> 00:13:18,130 and we're happy with the size. 302 302 00:13:18,130 --> 00:13:20,020 Let me make it a little bit smaller here. 303 303 00:13:20,020 --> 00:13:22,070 And then I'm gonna hit enter, okay. 304 304 00:13:22,070 --> 00:13:25,420 Now let's say I wanna put it at the very, very top. 305 305 00:13:25,420 --> 00:13:28,900 So I will drag the layer here all the way to the front. 306 306 00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:30,780 And let's say that we don't wanna 307 307 00:13:30,780 --> 00:13:32,410 have any words on this image. 308 308 00:13:32,410 --> 00:13:35,905 So you see here the eyeballs, I'm gonna get rid of that. 309 309 00:13:35,905 --> 00:13:40,905 Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna bring this over here. 310 310 00:13:41,090 --> 00:13:43,180 And I wanna, it's a pretty big file. 311 311 00:13:43,180 --> 00:13:45,700 That's 12 and a half megs, that's a good thing. 312 312 00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:48,080 Because basically there's lots of different logic 313 313 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,360 in that one image so I can get rid of that logic 314 314 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,963 by selecting this item here, which is magic wand. 315 315 00:13:55,950 --> 00:13:57,130 And you can select it, 316 316 00:13:57,130 --> 00:13:59,160 which will get rid of a lot of the background. 317 317 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,310 Or I can play around by using other items 318 318 00:14:03,310 --> 00:14:06,490 like erasing the backgrounds, that sort of thing. 319 319 00:14:06,490 --> 00:14:08,860 And I think it was eraser here, wasn't it? 320 320 00:14:08,860 --> 00:14:12,840 Let me just select the item first, good, that's selected. 321 321 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,850 Let me go here and just play around with this in real time. 322 322 00:14:15,850 --> 00:14:18,623 Background eraser tool, let's see what happens. 323 323 00:14:19,620 --> 00:14:21,430 Ah, you see what just happened there? 324 324 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:24,600 It just said wait a second, I can't do that yet 325 325 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,950 because I have to reformat this image 326 326 00:14:27,950 --> 00:14:30,470 into what's called rasterizing 327 327 00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:33,010 so that Photoshop recognizes it. 328 328 00:14:33,010 --> 00:14:34,878 So you select okay. 329 329 00:14:34,878 --> 00:14:38,520 So quick selection tool, okay good, 330 330 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,120 yeah I want that part of the book. 331 331 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,323 Oh, that's too much, control Z. 332 332 00:14:44,290 --> 00:14:48,713 Too much, hands off, select more. 333 333 00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:52,273 Back here to plus, add more to it. 334 334 00:14:53,850 --> 00:14:57,230 Good, hands off. 335 335 00:14:57,230 --> 00:15:00,180 I say hands off in case you want to go control Z like that. 336 336 00:15:01,018 --> 00:15:03,053 Okay, I just redid it, okay good. 337 337 00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:07,478 Or hands off, hands off, we're getting there. 338 338 00:15:07,478 --> 00:15:09,842 Zooming will make it a bit easier. 339 339 00:15:09,842 --> 00:15:12,603 Here, here, almost there. 340 340 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,460 Okay, and I keep clicking in case I do that be accident. 341 341 00:15:16,460 --> 00:15:18,160 Then I can just undo that. 342 342 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,620 All right let's get a little bit more. 343 343 00:15:19,620 --> 00:15:21,810 I think I want the outside of the book as well. 344 344 00:15:21,810 --> 00:15:25,030 That's a little too much, I'll clean that up in a second. 345 345 00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:27,300 Okay, and I'm gonna go into high speed mode now. 346 346 00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:29,250 So I can perfectly select this for you. 347 347 00:15:39,410 --> 00:15:43,670 So I'll erase here, erase here. 348 348 00:15:43,670 --> 00:15:46,363 I'm gonna get rid of her completely. 349 349 00:15:47,705 --> 00:15:49,737 All right, so let's get rid of that. 350 350 00:15:49,737 --> 00:15:53,643 Oh, a little bit too much, good. 351 351 00:15:56,330 --> 00:15:59,590 All right and I'm gonna get rid of her entirely. 352 352 00:15:59,590 --> 00:16:01,050 And you're like Chris, what are you doing to the image? 353 353 00:16:01,050 --> 00:16:02,220 You're destroying it. 354 354 00:16:02,220 --> 00:16:03,770 No, Photoshop is awesome. 355 355 00:16:03,770 --> 00:16:06,250 Photoshop is gonna work magic for me. 356 356 00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:09,060 All right and then you can slowly erase the outside there 357 357 00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:10,310 like I showed you before. 358 358 00:16:11,380 --> 00:16:14,403 With when we took the chair off, play around with it. 359 359 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,980 Take off as much as you want. 360 360 00:16:16,980 --> 00:16:19,330 It's not perfect, but just keep playing 361 361 00:16:19,330 --> 00:16:21,580 around with it until it looks perfect to you. 362 362 00:16:24,290 --> 00:16:27,940 All right, all right, and there's something called vectors, 363 363 00:16:27,940 --> 00:16:30,120 which is kind of beyond the scope of this lesson, 364 364 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,250 where there's multiple layers in an image. 365 365 00:16:32,250 --> 00:16:34,560 And you can get rid of certain layers. 366 366 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,100 It's looking good, not perfect yet. 367 367 00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:40,330 I kinda wanna put that back in, but without the lady. 368 368 00:16:40,330 --> 00:16:41,718 So what are we gonna do? 369 369 00:16:41,718 --> 00:16:45,370 We're gonna use the cloning tool again. 370 370 00:16:45,370 --> 00:16:50,343 So I'm gonna go here and I'm gonna clone that part, okay? 371 371 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,313 All right hold on a second. 372 372 00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:57,953 All right, good, it's pretty cool, huh? 373 373 00:16:59,789 --> 00:17:02,300 I'm gonna clone that all the way down. 374 374 00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:06,373 And I'm gonna take another selection of my clone here, good. 375 375 00:17:09,620 --> 00:17:11,273 It's pretty cool, huh, oops. 376 376 00:17:12,450 --> 00:17:15,150 And then I'm gonna select another portion of my clone. 377 377 00:17:19,290 --> 00:17:21,420 And you can drag and drop, 378 378 00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:23,655 or drag I should say to color if you want to. 379 379 00:17:23,655 --> 00:17:26,560 It's not as perfect doing it that way 380 380 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,970 because I always like to hit the undo button just in case. 381 381 00:17:29,970 --> 00:17:34,253 All right, woops, one or two more times. 382 382 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,360 All right great, and then I'm gonna zoom in here. 383 383 00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:40,920 And I wanna take that down here. 384 384 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,490 So what I'll do is I'll make the size 385 385 00:17:43,490 --> 00:17:45,630 of this tool a lot smaller. 386 386 00:17:45,630 --> 00:17:48,833 And this here is gonna be the master hit option, or ALT. 387 387 00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:51,150 If you're using Windows. 388 388 00:17:51,150 --> 00:17:53,610 And then what you can do is just go down here. 389 389 00:17:53,610 --> 00:17:56,790 Remember to keep taking your finger off every now and then 390 390 00:17:56,790 --> 00:17:59,190 in case you want to undo something. 391 391 00:17:59,190 --> 00:18:02,593 Okay, we're getting there, okay. 392 392 00:18:04,090 --> 00:18:08,000 Good, good, all right. 393 393 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,090 And then I want that to kind of be on the bottom. 394 394 00:18:10,090 --> 00:18:13,513 So what I can do is I can actually clone this part. 395 395 00:18:14,803 --> 00:18:15,636 And let's see what happens there. 396 396 00:18:15,636 --> 00:18:19,943 You see that, good, all right. 397 397 00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:23,733 All right. 398 398 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,360 That's close, not perfect. 399 399 00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,700 But once we zoom out it should be fine. 400 400 00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:33,850 Now you see why a lot of fashion magazines, 401 401 00:18:33,850 --> 00:18:36,900 whatever, tend to use Photoshop a lot. 402 402 00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:39,420 It's not really natural though, I don't really like it. 403 403 00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:42,840 But it is what it is. 404 404 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,380 All right, let's go here. 405 405 00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:46,680 That should be good, that should be good. 406 406 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,970 And then what we can do is we can clean up 407 407 00:18:47,970 --> 00:18:50,270 that bottom part if we want to as well. 408 408 00:18:50,270 --> 00:18:53,723 By going back here and selecting the eraser tool again. 409 409 00:18:55,250 --> 00:18:56,880 Erase, take your finger off, 410 410 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,300 in case you go like that by accident. 411 411 00:18:58,300 --> 00:18:59,950 Then you can undo it. 412 412 00:18:59,950 --> 00:19:02,673 Okay, that looks pretty good. 413 413 00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:05,580 I think we're almost there. 414 414 00:19:07,950 --> 00:19:11,168 And let's say we wanna leave it. 415 415 00:19:11,168 --> 00:19:13,980 Actually that's good enough, you get the idea. 416 416 00:19:13,980 --> 00:19:18,320 So if we zoom out now and we wanted 417 417 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,394 to add a shadow to this as well. 418 418 00:19:21,394 --> 00:19:25,058 And you can actually put it behind me if you wanted to. 419 419 00:19:25,058 --> 00:19:28,118 You can drag it down there. 420 420 00:19:28,118 --> 00:19:32,490 Hold on a second, so if I dragged it all the way down here, 421 421 00:19:32,490 --> 00:19:36,085 you'd see it's behind my finger, if you wanted to. 422 422 00:19:36,085 --> 00:19:37,650 Let me just keep it in front, 423 423 00:19:37,650 --> 00:19:39,600 just to keep it simplistic for now. 424 424 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,250 And we can add a shadow. 425 425 00:19:41,250 --> 00:19:43,940 So there's always many ways to do things in Photoshop. 426 426 00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:46,890 Double click and then what we can do 427 427 00:19:46,890 --> 00:19:48,060 is we can add the drop shadow. 428 428 00:19:48,060 --> 00:19:49,920 Watch what happens when I select this. 429 429 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,244 You can even make it different colors if you wanted to. 430 430 00:19:53,244 --> 00:19:57,110 Usually I try to match the type of shadow that I have 431 431 00:19:57,110 --> 00:19:58,830 if there's two images together. 432 432 00:19:58,830 --> 00:20:02,560 So if I had the shadow on me on one side, 433 433 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,440 I would have the shadow of the book on one side 434 434 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,000 by changing the angle here. 435 435 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,100 But let's just leave it like that for now. 436 436 00:20:10,820 --> 00:20:13,700 And we can make this a lot bigger if we wanted to. 437 437 00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:18,260 We can even rotate it by going over the corner 438 438 00:20:18,260 --> 00:20:21,900 and then changing it this way if we wanted to. 439 439 00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:24,795 And again, if we wanted to make that behind my finger 440 440 00:20:24,795 --> 00:20:28,123 we can drag this all the way down here, this layer. 441 441 00:20:30,060 --> 00:20:31,780 And let go, there it is there. 442 442 00:20:31,780 --> 00:20:32,970 See the finger's in front of me. 443 443 00:20:32,970 --> 00:20:34,680 I'll control Z that or control zeta 444 444 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,170 or command zed that to undo it. 445 445 00:20:37,170 --> 00:20:39,060 And that's it, that's it. 446 446 00:20:39,060 --> 00:20:41,140 And then what we do here is, 447 447 00:20:41,140 --> 00:20:44,190 you know you'd export this as well. 448 448 00:20:44,190 --> 00:20:47,760 And you can put a nice little color around it. 449 449 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,210 A lot of YouTubers will do this, 450 450 00:20:49,210 --> 00:20:52,510 just to add more effect to this. 451 451 00:20:52,510 --> 00:20:55,240 I like to have it simplistic with a shadow behind it. 452 452 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,540 But you can double-click here and you can add stroke. 453 453 00:20:58,540 --> 00:21:02,400 So let me double-click here and we'll add stroke. 454 454 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,160 See the outline there, it's kind of nice. 455 455 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,940 Ah we'll leave it there, what the heck, eh? 456 456 00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:09,660 And you can make this a lot thicker if you want to as well. 457 457 00:21:09,660 --> 00:21:11,200 Obviously that's way too much. 458 458 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,080 But to add effect, you can do that. 459 459 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,290 But it kind of overrides the shadow that I have there. 460 460 00:21:16,290 --> 00:21:18,800 But let's just leave it there just for fun. 461 461 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,840 Okay and let's actually put it now behind my finger 462 462 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,380 because I have stroke around it. 463 463 00:21:24,380 --> 00:21:26,730 So I'm gonna drag this down, 464 464 00:21:26,730 --> 00:21:28,430 right below my finger, there we go. 465 465 00:21:28,430 --> 00:21:30,420 That's fine, it's not perfect. 466 466 00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:34,600 And then what I can do is I can export this as well. 467 467 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,480 So we go into export, just like we did earlier. 468 468 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,880 Export as, and the size can change a lot. 469 469 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,500 So the size here is 937 kilobits which is a lot bigger 470 470 00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:48,170 than what we had before when we had writing, 471 471 00:21:48,170 --> 00:21:51,070 because this image is quite large. 472 472 00:21:51,070 --> 00:21:54,110 But it's still under the two megabyte threshold for YouTube, 473 473 00:21:54,110 --> 00:21:54,970 so we're fine there. 474 474 00:21:54,970 --> 00:21:56,685 So we don't have to adjust these parameters here. 475 475 00:21:56,685 --> 00:21:59,508 But we'd export this as well. 476 476 00:21:59,508 --> 00:22:03,530 And so I can have this as book version two. 477 477 00:22:03,530 --> 00:22:06,490 So now we have two different formats. 478 478 00:22:06,490 --> 00:22:11,490 We have one format that is in, it's with letters. 479 479 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,590 And then we have the other format that is with the image. 480 480 00:22:16,590 --> 00:22:19,020 So here we have two different images. 481 481 00:22:19,020 --> 00:22:20,920 So if you have any questions about this, 482 482 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,353 please let me know, thanks.
