So, instead of deleting the words, 2 2
what I can do is just get rid of it that way. 3 3
We don't see them anymore. 4 4
And now let's go and get an image to put in there. 5 5
And so what I'm gonna do is, 6 6
I'm gonna open up Chrome and I'm gonna go directly to, 7 7
and these are just my default pages when I open up Chrome, 8 8
I'm gonna go directly to Storyblocks 9 9
Which is the website I use 10 10
to get my images, and video, and audio from. 11 11
I pay for it, but it's because I do this full time. 12 12
Okay. 13 13
So, let's go and search for the word book. 14 14
And I'm gonna take just this random one here. 15 15
Where's it again, 16 16
I did one earlier that looked kind of cool. 17 17
Here it is here, okay, yeah, yeah. 18 18
Allright, so, let me just move over a little bit 19 19
so you can see how big this is when I download it. 20 20
And you'll see it's actually 12 and a half megs here. 21 21
So, I downloaded that and we're gonna insert that image now. 22 22
And there's many ways to insert images into this. 23 23
You can drag and drop if you wanted to, 24 24
or what you can do is, 25 25
you can actually go here and choose the image. 26 26
All right. 27 27
And I'm gonna go to downloads here, select the image. 28 28
That's way too big, obviously. 29 29
That is enormous. 30 30
Okay, go over here and select the pointer 31 31
so I can make this smaller. 32 32
Select it, and make it smaller. 33 33
And if you wanted to rotate it 34 34
you can do it over here, if you wanted to. 35 35
So, let me make this smaller. 36 36
And what I'm gonna do actually is, 37 37
I'm gonna get rid of me for a couple of minutes 38 38
while we play around with this. 39 39
Okay, I don't want the distraction 40 40
of a guy who looks exactly like Bradley Pitt, 41 41
or Bradley Pitts, I should say. 42 42
Sorry, I'm just kidding. 43 43
Nobody confuses me for somebody good looking. 44 44
All right, let me get rid of that too 45 45
just to be not distracted. 46 46
All right, so let me make this a bit bigger here 47 47
and then what I'm gonna do is zoom right in 48 48
and we're gonna get rid of the background. 49 49
And the higher, the larger the image, the more easy it is. 50 50
Or the easier, I should say, it is 51 51
to get rid of the stuff around the image. 52 52
If you want, you can look into vectors as well. 53 53
That's outside of the scope of this lecture. 54 54
But vectors are images you can download 55 55
that have different layers 56 56
so we can easily just move around layers or delete them. 57 57
Okay, now what we're gonna do is 58 58
make sure we're selecting this image, which we did. 59 59
Go over here to the highlighter looking icon. 60 60
Go to quick selection, and now we're gonna select 61 61
around this item, and then cut. 62 62
I actually don't like the way that looks. 63 63
I'm gonna hit Command + D to deselect, 64 64
'cause I want to get the outside of that book. 65 65
Okay, good, good. 66 66
Cut. 67 67
I'm gonna go here. 68 68
No, I don't like that. 69 69
See it's getting rid of the side of the book there. 70 70
All right, I'll come back to that in a minute. 71 71
Let me go here, 72 72
and maybe I have to make the brush size 73 73
a little bit smaller. 74 74
Let's see if that helps. 75 75
Sort of. 76 76
All right, all right. 77 77
We're getting there. 78 78
And that's why I like to do just little cuts at a time. 79 79
Otherwise, it'll take you forever to do this. 80 80
All right, we're getting there, we're making progress here. 81 81
Okay, good. 82 82
So I'm gonna go into high speed mode to save you time. 83 83
Then I'll check back with you when we've deleted everything 84 84
except for the lady here in that little opening. 85 85
Okay, so I'm having problems getting 86 86
all this out off the edges perfectly. 87 87
So what I'm gonna do is, 88 88
I'm gonna go here and I'm gonna start cutting things. 89 89
So, what I can do is I can highlight and cut, 90 90
highlight and cut, and it just gets a bit easier 91 91
for me to clean it up. 92 92
But I still gotta do the tough job 93 93
of getting rid of the edges here 94 94
and then I cut too much here by accident. 95 95
All right, now what I'm gonna do is, 96 96
I'm gonna use the clone tool and we'll clean this up. 97 97
And so cloning, as we saw with YouTube image is pretty cool, 98 98
on my shirt, how we got rid of it. 99 99
Obviously I'm gonna make this a lot smaller. 100 100
But, what I wanna do is, 101 101
you wanna keep you finger down on the option button, 102 102
and you wanna tell Pixelmator Pro what to clone. 103 103
So I'm gonna click there, 104 104
and then what I'll do is I'll hold it down here, 105 105
and let's see if that works. 106 106
All right and now I'm gonna make, 107 107
actually, I'm gonna make the brush size a bit bigger. 108 108
Actually a lot bigger. 109 109
So what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna hit option here, 110 110
and then go here, and it's actually drawing it nicely. 111 111
Control Z, undo that. 112 112
It's pretty cool, huh? 113 113
Pretty cool. 114 114
I'm gonna go in high speed mode now, 115 115
and I'm gonna complete all the outside of the book 116 116
so that the border looks great. 117 117
All right, so the outside of the book looks fine. 118 118
We still have to erase these borders. 119 119
So I'm just gonna get the eraser tool and erase it. 120 120
And I'm gonna get a bigger eraser here, 121 121
and then I'm just gonna go on high speed mode 122 122
and delete all of this. 123 123
All right, now we're gonna delete the lady, 124 124
and I'm gonna show you how we can make it 125 125
look like she was never there to begin with. 126 126
So let me just delete her entirely. 127 127
I'll make the brush size big. 128 128
And don't worry about the book that I'm screwing up here, 129 129
'cause we're gonna fix it using the cloning tool. 130 130
All right. 131 131
Great. 132 132
That's good enough. 133 133
And when you zoom out, 134 134
it'll be fine when we add the shadow around it. 135 135
So, it's kind of neat, kind of cool door there. 136 136
A little Spanish architecture, I love. 137 137
So now what we will do is, 138 138
we will go and we will select clone. 139 139
And we're gonna clone this again. 140 140
So I'm gonna actually make the brush size a bit bigger. 141 141
And then, remember we always have to hit option first 142 142
because you gotta tell Pixelmator what you wanna clone. 143 143
So, I'll select this here, click. 144 144
And then what I'll do is, 145 145
you can actually drag down if you want, doesn't always work. 146 146
Looks like that's not working, let me try again. 147 147
This is, it's all about trial and error when you do cloning. 148 148
It's fun though. 149 149
All right, let's try that again. 150 150
Option, I wanna clone that. 151 151
Looks good. 152 152
It's not perfect, but it is an old book, I guess. 153 153
All right, and then I'm gonna hit option. 154 154
And I gotta do that little part in the middle there. 155 155
So I'll go here. 156 156
All right, that's good enough. 157 157
All right, and then what I'll do is, 158 158
I'll clone this inside part here too. 159 159
And I'll go in high speed mode for this for you. 160 160
Alright, we're almost done. 161 161
Eat your heart out, Picasso. 162 162
Picasso's got great quotes, man. 163 163
You gotta check 'em out, just do a search online. 164 164
Like he said once, "What you can imagine is real," 165 165
or something like that. 166 166
It's a pretty cool quote. 167 167
All right, that's good enough, it's good enough. 168 168
Okay, good. 169 169
Now what I wanna do is, I'm gonna go and we're gonna look, 170 170
view all of them here except for the letters. 171 171
Remember we got rid of these letters before? 172 172
So, let's get this beautiful book here 173 173
and I'll pull this over. 174 174
It's cool, ah? 175 175
I'll make it bigger. 176 176
And if you want to, 177 177
you can actually rotate it as well, using this. 178 178
And what we can do is we can actually put a shadow on it, 179 179
or a cool outline, if we wanted to. 180 180
So, I'll just do a shadow. 181 181
And if you wanted it to be in front of my finger, 182 182
all you do is drag here, and drop. 183 183
It's really, really simple. 184 184
Again, before using Photoshop, 185 185
if you wanna graduate to Photoshop, try this first. 186 186
It's a lot of fun. 187 187
I love it. 188 188
Okay, so now what we're gonna do is, 189 189
we're gonna go here to the paintbrush. 190 190
And we're actually gonna put in a shadow. 191 191
And what I'll do is, 192 192
you can change the distance, the blur, whatever. 193 193
I usually like to keep it somewhat consistent 194 194
with the other images that have shadows. 195 195
So, let me go here. 196 196
That's fine. 197 197
And all you wanna do is get some sort of 3D pop 198 198
into it if you can. 199 199
And then if you wanted to put 200 200
some sort of cool stroke around it, you can select that, 201 201
but you'd have to go and delete those little areas there. 202 202
You'd select the color here by going to, 203 203
I like to go here, then go to yellow, for example. 204 204
And then you can just go in 205 205
and erase those little guys there. 206 206
So, let me hit Command + Z a few times to get rid of that. 207 207
That looks fine, that's cool. 208 208
And then what we can do is, 209 209
we can actually export this as well. 210 210
The same way as we did before. 211 211
I'm gonna hit Control + S to save the pxd file first, 212 212
this face master file. 213 213
And then what I'll do is, I'm gonna export it. 214 214
So I'll go to file, export. 215 215
And as you can see, it's a bigger file now. 216 216
It's 727 kilobytes because we added an image 217 217
and a little bit more logic, or layers, so to speak. 218 218
Okay, so we can export it here. 219 219
And the last one we created was called face with words. 220 220
I'll call this one face with book, 221 221
because I'm not very imaginative when it comes to titles. 222 222
Okay, face with book. 223 223
And if we want, we can make it smaller 224 224
but the resolution won't be as good. 225 225
So we go here, and then we export it. 226 226
And let's go back now and take a look at this in the finder. 227 227
And so, here's what it looks like 228 228
versus face with book, right? 229 229
Or, versus face with words. 230 230
And so that's how you do it. 231 231
And then you can just go 232 232
and upload that directly to YouTube. 233 233
Both these files are 1280 by 720, 234 234
and both are under two megabytes here. 235 235
So, this one too. 236 236
This here is just the master file 237 237
which is a lot bigger, obviously it's way too big. 238 238
But these are both within the limitations of YouTube. 239 239
So, next step is you can upload these. 240 240
If you have any questions about this, please let me know. 241 241
Thanks.
