00:00:23,030 --> 00:00:26,810 We want to use colors on the opposite sides 8 8 00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:29,200 of the color wheel or, you know, 9 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,020 give or take an inch and I'm sorry 10 10 00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:36,330 my air conditioner I swear 11 11 00:00:37,578 --> 00:00:38,411 (air conditioner beeping) 12 12 00:00:38,411 --> 00:00:41,410 it's out to get me it wants me shiny. 13 13 00:00:41,410 --> 00:00:44,958 I have my tissues ready just in case it breaks 14 14 00:00:44,958 --> 00:00:47,330 (air conditioner beeping) 15 15 00:00:47,330 --> 00:00:48,800 but it's not getting the best of me, 16 16 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,750 the show must go on. 17 17 00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:53,880 We need to know how to use 18 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,913 opposite colors okay? 19 19 00:00:57,110 --> 00:01:00,000 I don't do this enough maybe 20 20 00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:05,801 and I'm not a hypocrite it's just, yeah, I don't know 21 21 00:01:05,801 --> 00:01:10,170 (laughs) but here we are I have a thumbnail here 22 22 00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:14,010 this is our reference I made this a while ago 23 23 00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:19,010 and it just so happens to use colors that are the exact 24 24 00:01:19,090 --> 00:01:21,100 opposite on the color wheel 25 25 00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:24,660 because we have a little like, I don't know. 26 26 00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:27,290 I don't have the names of colors people get really fancy 27 27 00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:28,710 when they're designing their homes 28 28 00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:33,180 and think oh this is like dark rose opaque 29 29 00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:35,120 or I don't know they have weird names 30 30 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,340 for colors, I don't know. 31 31 00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:40,100 His shirt is this color and I chose this color 32 32 00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:44,340 for the background and I think we can recreate 33 33 00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:46,470 this now in Gimp. 34 34 00:01:46,470 --> 00:01:48,900 So, I have my screenshot ready. 35 35 00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:53,173 Let's see where I managed to get for the screenshot. 36 36 00:01:55,070 --> 00:01:56,670 What does it look like? 37 37 00:01:56,670 --> 00:02:00,890 Ahh, see I was missing the original file 38 38 00:02:00,890 --> 00:02:05,890 so, (sighs) because I use subtitles a lot in my 39 39 00:02:06,290 --> 00:02:09,620 videos we have this here, this text we're gonna 40 40 00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:12,040 have to get rid of that and we do not want to have 41 41 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,853 this red line here. 42 42 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,133 All fixable, okay. 43 43 00:02:20,170 --> 00:02:23,010 Ideally you won't have this problem 44 44 00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:26,590 because you are going to get your screenshots 45 45 00:02:26,590 --> 00:02:29,850 when you're editing and you'll still have access 46 46 00:02:29,850 --> 00:02:34,083 to your original, high-definition footage, whatever. 47 47 00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:37,730 I don't today though but it's okay 48 48 00:02:37,730 --> 00:02:41,670 we are problem solvers here and we are going 49 49 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:44,680 to fix this and we're gonna click 50 50 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,320 with the two fingers on our Mac at the same time 51 51 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,153 (presenter beeping) 52 52 00:02:48,153 --> 00:02:50,710 and Open it with Gimp. 53 53 00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:53,040 And if you are not on a Mac I think 54 54 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,800 it's a right-click or something? 55 55 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,190 I don't know, ask Chris in the lower thirds 56 56 00:03:00,150 --> 00:03:03,983 he's the smart one, I am the artist. 57 57 00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:07,410 Okay (laughs) we have this open in Gimp now 58 58 00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:15,590 and we are going to wanna make sure 59 59 00:03:15,590 --> 00:03:17,430 that it's the correct size 60 60 00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:21,150 and when you are taking screenshots 61 61 00:03:21,150 --> 00:03:23,390 sometimes you go like a little bit over. 62 62 00:03:23,390 --> 00:03:25,800 Let me zoom in and show you. 63 63 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,070 Let me zoom in to 200%. 64 64 00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:30,050 Let's go up to the very, very top. 65 65 00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:30,883 I'm just scrolling here. 66 66 00:03:30,883 --> 00:03:32,950 Ahh, see at the very, very bottom 67 67 00:03:32,950 --> 00:03:35,020 there might be like a little black line 68 68 00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:36,603 or, what happens at the top? 69 69 00:03:40,810 --> 00:03:44,150 Yeah, maybe, yeah see this stuff up here 70 70 00:03:44,150 --> 00:03:45,570 'cause I did a screen, anyway. 71 71 00:03:45,570 --> 00:03:48,890 I did a screenshot and it's not perfect 72 72 00:03:48,890 --> 00:03:51,110 so we can fix it, okay? 73 73 00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:53,730 Zoom back out, you don't have to worry 74 74 00:03:53,730 --> 00:03:55,323 about this at the moment. 75 75 00:03:57,430 --> 00:03:59,500 I'm just trying to show you that we need 76 76 00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:01,340 to cut this and we need to make sure 77 77 00:04:01,340 --> 00:04:02,793 it's 16 by nine. 78 78 00:04:04,150 --> 00:04:07,500 Let me just start a new file here. 79 79 00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:12,500 File, New, we want it to be 80 80 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,120 youtube thumbnail size (laughs). 81 81 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,980 I made this template 1280 by 720. 82 82 00:04:20,980 --> 00:04:24,510 Okay, this is a completely different file now 83 83 00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:29,063 so we have two files open on Gimp. 84 84 00:04:30,050 --> 00:04:32,110 I'm gonna go back to our previous one 85 85 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,563 and I'm going to copy. 86 86 00:04:37,420 --> 00:04:41,970 Command + C on a Mac and then I'm gonna go to our new file 87 87 00:04:41,970 --> 00:04:46,970 and I'm going to Command + V, paste, on a Mac anyway. 88 88 00:04:48,020 --> 00:04:51,453 And, now I can resize this. 89 89 00:04:53,650 --> 00:04:58,283 Layer, Scale Layer, I know it's about 1280. 90 90 00:05:02,350 --> 00:05:05,760 Make sure that this link is still connected 91 91 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,833 at the moment okay? 92 92 00:05:08,630 --> 00:05:13,630 Scale, all right, now I wanna make it 93 93 00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:16,470 a little bit bigger. 94 94 00:05:16,470 --> 00:05:19,573 I'm going to pull this out so I can see more stuff. 95 95 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,080 Right now we can only see our canvas 96 96 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,100 but I wanna pull this out so that there's a little bit 97 97 00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:28,830 of gray, you know, drag and pull, so that there's a little 98 98 00:05:28,830 --> 00:05:33,583 bit of gray over here so I can see more of what I'm doing. 99 99 00:05:34,470 --> 00:05:36,773 Close that, okay. 100 100 00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:44,100 Now I'm gonna go to Layer, To New Layer 101 101 00:05:44,170 --> 00:05:48,020 because right now it says Floating Selection 102 102 00:05:48,020 --> 00:05:50,242 and I don't like that. 103 103 00:05:50,242 --> 00:05:52,120 To New Layer, okay. 104 104 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,310 And I'm going to go to Layer again, Scale Layer 105 105 00:05:56,310 --> 00:05:58,430 and I'm going to increase the size a bit. 106 106 00:05:58,430 --> 00:06:00,150 So, I'm just gonna go to this arrow 107 107 00:06:00,150 --> 00:06:03,663 and increase it a little bit, Scale. 108 108 00:06:05,850 --> 00:06:10,050 Hmm, I'm gonna have to increase it quite a bit more 109 109 00:06:10,050 --> 00:06:13,350 because I have to make it so big 110 110 00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:17,493 that I can pull and drag and that, 111 111 00:06:18,627 --> 00:06:21,383 "Ok, just use Indonesian," thing disappears. 112 112 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,570 Sorry guys I'm such a weird YouTuber (laughs) 113 113 00:06:26,570 --> 00:06:29,530 I got some weird titles and some weird stuff 114 114 00:06:29,530 --> 00:06:30,370 going on in my videos. 115 115 00:06:30,370 --> 00:06:33,653 Okay, Layer, Scale Layer. 116 116 00:06:35,150 --> 00:06:37,723 Make her big, make her big. 117 117 00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:44,223 Ahh, now I have some room to work with. 118 118 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,600 Go to the Move Tool here and now I can take this layer okay 119 119 00:06:52,820 --> 00:06:57,820 and I can pull it so I can click 120 120 00:06:58,230 --> 00:07:00,087 and pull to wherever I want. 121 121 00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:04,330 I want my guy in the middle here 122 122 00:07:04,330 --> 00:07:07,360 and let me just double check my reference. 123 123 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,553 Where was my reference I can erase this, 124 124 00:07:09,553 --> 00:07:12,213 well not erase, I can close this file by the way. 125 125 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,260 Just close that we don't need it any more. 126 126 00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:20,450 Oh yeah, so in my reference here you can see 127 127 00:07:20,450 --> 00:07:25,450 that he's even bigger I didn't get the exact same screenshot 128 128 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,070 but you know what okay let's just make him bigger then. 129 129 00:07:31,268 --> 00:07:34,768 (computer mouse clicking) 130 130 00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:41,700 I just Layer, Scale Layer and click on this arrow 131 131 00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:42,773 until he gets bigger. 132 132 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,890 Let's see what he looks like now. 133 133 00:07:45,890 --> 00:07:49,490 That might look a little bit more like my reference 134 134 00:07:49,490 --> 00:07:54,490 not exactly the same but pretty much the same. 135 135 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,120 Okay, now, actually I'm gonna pull it down 136 136 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,020 a little bit more. 137 137 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,153 (presenter sighing) 138 138 00:08:04,153 --> 00:08:09,153 Now what we're gonna do is we are going to make 139 139 00:08:09,380 --> 00:08:13,370 the background a contrasting color 140 140 00:08:13,370 --> 00:08:17,043 to the color of this guy's shirt. 141 141 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,870 I'm saying this guy but like I live with him 142 142 00:08:21,870 --> 00:08:24,350 I should be using a better name 143 143 00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:26,083 than this guy but whatever. 144 144 00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:30,303 I'm gonna use this tool, Paths, 145 145 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,097 and I'm just gonna click, click, click 146 146 00:08:40,250 --> 00:08:41,920 and I'm just gonna keep clicking 147 147 00:08:44,860 --> 00:08:49,860 around the outline of his body. 148 148 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,430 I'm not doing his ear at the moment (laughs). 149 149 00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:58,413 Oh, I could add another one there okay. 150 150 00:08:59,430 --> 00:09:01,343 I'm gonna fix all of that later. 151 151 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,260 (computer mouse clicking) 152 152 00:09:11,210 --> 00:09:15,070 And there's a little piece here that's not part of him. 153 153 00:09:15,070 --> 00:09:20,070 So, up and down and I usually put the last click here 154 154 00:09:22,250 --> 00:09:27,250 and then I click and hold and pull it to close my circuit 155 155 00:09:29,150 --> 00:09:32,270 and that looks pretty good. 156 156 00:09:32,270 --> 00:09:35,840 Okay, now I'm going to zoom in a little bit. 157 157 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,370 So at the bottom here it gives you the option 158 158 00:09:40,370 --> 00:09:44,330 to change the size so let's change it to 100%. 159 159 00:09:44,330 --> 00:09:47,000 You don't have to be like super perfect 160 160 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,880 but you want it as close to the body as comfortable, 161 161 00:09:54,130 --> 00:09:58,080 okay, (laughs) as you want. 162 162 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,050 So you just drag or you click on one of these balls 163 163 00:10:01,050 --> 00:10:03,303 and drag them to wherever you want them. 164 164 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,080 This time I'm not going to do it like super perfect 165 165 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,993 I think you get the point. 166 166 00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:17,260 But I'll just do a pretty good job of kind of pulling it, 167 167 00:10:17,260 --> 00:10:19,950 you just click on these lines anyone one you want 168 168 00:10:19,950 --> 00:10:22,550 and just click anywhere on the line. 169 169 00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:24,520 Click in the middle, or go like that 170 170 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,093 which is not what we want. 171 171 00:10:27,380 --> 00:10:32,000 Or, oh, that actually looked pretty good (laughs) 172 172 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,530 I usually click closer to the dot and pull it a little bit 173 173 00:10:35,530 --> 00:10:38,400 and click here, pull it a little bit. 174 174 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,603 You can experiment. 175 175 00:10:41,930 --> 00:10:45,213 Pull this up and then pull this one down. 176 176 00:10:46,610 --> 00:10:51,610 It's, it's a pretty good tool for accuracy, you know, 177 177 00:10:51,983 --> 00:10:56,383 when you wanna get a really close outline of the body. 178 178 00:10:58,570 --> 00:11:00,453 Okay, scroll up a little bit. 179 179 00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:03,793 Oh, that's not good. 180 180 00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:14,060 Move the ball in a little bit (coughs). 181 181 00:11:14,060 --> 00:11:16,170 Now make sure you don't touch another tool 182 182 00:11:16,170 --> 00:11:17,470 while you're doing this okay 183 183 00:11:17,470 --> 00:11:20,640 because if you do then you're gonna lose 184 184 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,363 all of your work I have done that many times. 185 185 00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:27,503 By accident of course. 186 186 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,060 Is it just me or do people say on accident now 187 187 00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:34,420 instead of by accident? 188 188 00:11:34,420 --> 00:11:37,110 I grew up saying by accident 189 189 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:40,960 and now every single time I watch a YouTube video 190 190 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,360 and somebody says accident they say on accident. 191 191 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,703 It sounds so weird to me. 192 192 00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:53,060 Anyway, maybe I should stop saying by accident. 193 193 00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:54,810 Do you think it makes me sound old? 194 194 00:11:56,810 --> 00:11:57,920 That's besides the point though. 195 195 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,460 Okay, we are going to zoom out again. 196 196 00:12:01,460 --> 00:12:02,960 Go to the bottom and zoom out. 197 197 00:12:04,780 --> 00:12:08,160 66.7%, whatever percent you want. 198 198 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,720 And now I'm gonna go to select, 199 199 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,873 Selection from Path, sorry. 200 200 00:12:15,330 --> 00:12:18,970 And now we're gonna, actually there are two ways 201 201 00:12:18,970 --> 00:12:20,710 to do this but I'm gonna do it this way. 202 202 00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:22,780 I like this way the best. 203 203 00:12:22,780 --> 00:12:26,610 I'm gonna copy and I'm not even going to do anything else, 204 204 00:12:26,610 --> 00:12:31,610 I'm just gonna paste and then I'm gonna go Layer, 205 205 00:12:33,020 --> 00:12:35,490 to New Layer and then that's it. 206 206 00:12:35,490 --> 00:12:37,170 That is my favorite way to do this. 207 207 00:12:37,170 --> 00:12:39,320 There's another way to do it 208 208 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,360 but let's do it this way today, okay. 209 209 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,710 And here we have a new layer on the right 210 210 00:12:47,890 --> 00:12:51,180 you can call it Billy Bob if you want. 211 211 00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:52,880 You can call it anything you want. 212 212 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,640 We can call it skin, we can call it joke, we, anything okay. 213 213 00:13:02,250 --> 00:13:05,640 You can call it Zimbabwe and then whatever, 214 214 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,510 or you don't have to call anything at all. 215 215 00:13:08,510 --> 00:13:13,460 And then now we can color the background 216 216 00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:17,820 which is well either one of these could be the background. 217 217 00:13:17,820 --> 00:13:22,120 It could be the white background but I'm actually hoping 218 218 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,680 that some of my bricks show through 219 219 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,833 so I'm gonna use this one as my background. 220 220 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,160 Yeah, I think I'm good to go. 221 221 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,160 Sometimes what I do is I increase the size of my character 222 222 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,090 by going to Layer, Scale Layer 223 223 00:13:44,090 --> 00:13:48,150 and then I just make it a little tiny bit bigger 224 224 00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:55,900 just in case I have some room at the bottom here. 225 225 00:13:55,940 --> 00:14:00,250 Like let me just show you, zoom in 100%. 226 226 00:14:00,250 --> 00:14:05,250 Yeah, I might have some room, yeah at the bottom 227 227 00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:08,400 there where it didn't close. 228 228 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,740 Anyway, don't worry about it (laughs). 229 229 00:14:10,740 --> 00:14:15,160 Sometimes I do do that though I increase the size just a tad 230 230 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,700 so that it covers up any error like that 231 231 00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:21,350 like any room at the top that's not closed. 232 232 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:24,870 Okay, now I go to Pasted Layer at the bottom, 233 233 00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:26,980 not at the bottom in the middle sorry, 234 234 00:14:26,980 --> 00:14:29,910 and I choose the Paintbrush Tool 235 235 00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:33,880 and I turn the Opacity down. 236 236 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,100 And you can play here. 237 237 00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:38,617 So, it could be 30, it could be 40, it could be 25. 238 238 00:14:38,617 --> 00:14:43,617 I'm gonna go with 44 today see what that looks like. 239 239 00:14:45,630 --> 00:14:48,603 And my Paintbrush, Opacity, check. 240 240 00:14:49,470 --> 00:14:54,050 The brush can be any brush but I like the hard brushes 241 241 00:14:54,050 --> 00:14:56,020 'cause I'm gonna paint the whole thing. 242 242 00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:59,180 And the color is all wrong. 243 243 00:14:59,180 --> 00:15:03,450 I want, what kind of color did I have? 244 244 00:15:03,450 --> 00:15:06,140 I think I had a blue like this. 245 245 00:15:06,140 --> 00:15:07,783 I think I had a blue like that. 246 246 00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:11,120 Let's see what that looks like. 247 247 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,853 Okay, increase the size of my brush, 248 248 00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:18,530 you can go as big as you want because it'll just. 249 249 00:15:18,530 --> 00:15:22,393 Ahh, it's a little green to me, it's a little green looking. 250 250 00:15:26,851 --> 00:15:27,960 I'm gonna change the color. 251 251 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,560 Undo on my computer that's Command + Z 252 252 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,300 but maybe Chris can help me out in the lower thirds 253 253 00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:39,607 if non-Mac users don't understand what I say (laughs). 254 254 00:15:41,180 --> 00:15:44,250 All right, I'm gonna put it a little bit more blue, 255 255 00:15:45,822 --> 00:15:46,655 little bit more blue. 256 256 00:15:46,655 --> 00:15:47,840 Oh, let's try that. 257 257 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,673 What does that look like? 258 258 00:15:48,673 --> 00:15:50,620 Ahh, that looks really good. 259 259 00:15:50,620 --> 00:15:55,620 So, now I'm just going to paint all over this layer okay? 260 260 00:15:57,330 --> 00:15:59,730 Not this layer, if you choose this layer 261 261 00:15:59,730 --> 00:16:02,150 and paint it's going to paint your boy blue 262 262 00:16:03,090 --> 00:16:04,150 you do not want that. 263 263 00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:09,150 Oh no you distracted me ladies and gentlemen undo, undo. 264 264 00:16:12,340 --> 00:16:15,580 You have to kind of do this all in one go 265 265 00:16:15,580 --> 00:16:19,260 because if you stop and then, like I've stopped, 266 266 00:16:19,260 --> 00:16:23,530 and then you go again you see how it painted over 267 267 00:16:23,530 --> 00:16:25,457 what you painted earlier (sighs). 268 268 00:16:27,290 --> 00:16:31,750 Yeah, so you have to go all in one go. 269 269 00:16:31,750 --> 00:16:36,750 Don't let go of your clicker, just keep painting away. 270 270 00:16:38,730 --> 00:16:42,923 If you make a mistake undo that's what undo is for. 271 271 00:16:43,930 --> 00:16:47,100 All right, I'm liking this already. 272 272 00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:51,960 We are almost done but I think I might 273 273 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,280 have upped the contrast on his face just a little bit. 274 274 00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:00,280 So, go to his face, skin joke, we've called him today. 275 275 00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:04,030 I don't know why but that was such a weird random title 276 276 00:17:04,030 --> 00:17:08,120 and we're gonna go to colors, sorry. 277 277 00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:13,120 Colors up top and let's just go, you can try any of these 278 278 00:17:13,550 --> 00:17:15,700 and just experiment but we're going to use 279 279 00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:17,333 Brightness-Contrast today. 280 280 00:17:18,570 --> 00:17:20,850 And we're just going to up the Contrast 281 281 00:17:20,850 --> 00:17:25,653 just a tad, not too much. 282 282 00:17:26,690 --> 00:17:27,550 Is there a difference there? 283 283 00:17:27,550 --> 00:17:29,000 Let's check the preview. 284 284 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,563 That's off, that's on. 285 285 00:17:35,530 --> 00:17:37,250 You know what it didn't really make that much 286 286 00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:39,783 of a difference, we'll keep it as it is. 287 287 00:17:42,290 --> 00:17:47,290 And I think we had a little drop shadow on his body. 288 288 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,980 So, we're gonna go to, well, make sure 289 289 00:17:50,980 --> 00:17:53,203 he is selected first okay. 290 290 00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:56,610 Trust me you're gonna screw that up 291 291 00:17:56,610 --> 00:17:58,740 once in a while but yeah. 292 292 00:17:58,740 --> 00:18:03,740 Then go to Filters, Light and Shadow, Drop Shadow. 293 293 00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:12,750 They have suggested that I do for four, four, 15, 60. 294 294 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,237 I like to pump this Opacity up to 100. 295 295 00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:20,460 Again, this is all just a matter of taste 296 296 00:18:20,460 --> 00:18:23,233 you experiment and find out what you like. 297 297 00:18:24,756 --> 00:18:29,153 Oh, I guess I'll include (laughs) increase the Blur radius 298 298 00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:31,953 a little bit. 299 299 00:18:31,953 --> 00:18:32,786 (computer mouse clicking) 300 300 00:18:32,786 --> 00:18:37,786 Um, 25 and I'll increase that a little bit and a little bit. 301 301 00:18:38,110 --> 00:18:42,983 Let's try that, don't Allow resizing and OK. 302 302 00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:48,630 Looks good to me. 303 303 00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:53,360 And yeah mine, my shadow this time 304 304 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:56,350 seems a little bigger 'cause I put it to 25. 305 305 00:18:56,350 --> 00:18:59,830 Maybe on the previous one I didn't. 306 306 00:18:59,830 --> 00:19:03,700 And now I have to add some text and the text says, "Ahhh." 307 307 00:19:05,576 --> 00:19:08,076 I don't know what was going on in this video guys. 308 308 00:19:11,182 --> 00:19:13,840 I'll just click anywhere and start typing 309 309 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,550 and it says, "Ahhh." 310 310 00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:21,363 And I know the text that I used was, 311 311 00:19:22,570 --> 00:19:27,073 this is embarrassing, why do I always use the same text man? 312 312 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,410 Okay, over the course of like years 313 313 00:19:31,410 --> 00:19:33,730 I'm still using this same text. 314 314 00:19:33,730 --> 00:19:37,110 I think it was Impact and you can get it from here 315 315 00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:41,823 or you can get it from here, you can type it in here too. 316 316 00:19:43,550 --> 00:19:47,090 And now I have to, just select that sorry, 317 317 00:19:47,090 --> 00:19:50,120 and increase the size I don't know what size I chose. 318 318 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:51,223 That's too big. 319 319 00:19:56,350 --> 00:19:58,050 What does it look like here? 320 320 00:19:58,050 --> 00:20:02,693 Oh, four Hs and they were uppercase, let me fix that. 321 321 00:20:06,570 --> 00:20:09,593 And there and I need to make that bigger then. 322 322 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,223 Yeah, bigger, even bigger. 323 323 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,180 There I'm gonna leave it there 324 324 00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:24,513 and then I can pull this up to move the text. 325 325 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,220 That looks good, change the color to white 326 326 00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:37,703 and then I'm gonna put a drop shadow on it. 327 327 00:20:38,750 --> 00:20:42,770 Filters, Light and Shadow, Drop Shadow, 328 328 00:20:42,770 --> 00:20:44,313 just like we did with our man. 329 329 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,980 I'm just going to keep it all the same 330 330 00:20:51,660 --> 00:20:55,753 and we are done with our beautiful thumbnail. 331 331 00:20:56,590 --> 00:21:01,470 And you could even do that a little bit more blue, yeah? 332 332 00:21:01,470 --> 00:21:06,343 This is very, very, very blue but I think this'll work 333 333 00:21:08,690 --> 00:21:11,720 for today so yeah we're choosing this one 334 334 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,863 and now all I have to do is export it. 335 335 00:21:15,810 --> 00:21:20,810 File, Export As, I'm gonna call it blue man 336 336 00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:34,890

00:21:54,330 --> 00:21:59,330 of the background, you know you can go to that Pasted Layer 342 342 00:22:00,530 --> 00:22:04,760 and you can change it you can re-do something, 343 343 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,853 add some more color or whatever, up to you. 344 344 00:22:10,590 --> 00:22:15,060 File, Save, now I'm going to save the actual editing file 345 345 00:22:15,060 --> 00:22:18,330 if I wanna go in and change anything and re-do anything 346 346 00:22:18,330 --> 00:22:21,913 I can use this .xcf file. 347 347 00:22:23,070 --> 00:22:25,010 Save that on my Desktop too and Save 348 348 00:22:25,980 --> 00:22:28,903 and this is our final thumbnail.
