Write it's time to do some Yvonne's image tips and tricks and there's not much we can do about this
I'm cool.
Yeah a little work for things.
I think you'll like.
Let's get started.
All right so first trick is going to zoom out a little bit.
I want to bring in an image and crop it and and not use a clipping mask.
I want to delete the stuff.
OK so we're going to go file place and we're going to find the one called Mike or desk.
Sorry good place.
I'm going to get really big K because I want to know what I want to do is I wanted to kind of fit in
a space about a third of my document right.
And so at the moment that's the space I wanted to fill what we could do is we grab this image and kind
of get it.
We want like both of them.
C'mon Steven or controls even on a PC and that kind of crop's it down.
We can double click it it it get it how we want right.
Double click the background to get back out.
Now the problem with this is that you can kind of see if I hover above the image there's a red band
around it means the image is actually still in there which is conical I can get to it at it.
I understand that but let's say I want to get rid of it because a keeps the file size really big Having
extra pixels that I don't need.
And one of my big gripes is there's a lot of times when you try to export or kind of do things in it.
I'll show you what I mean window.
If I go to essay's export and let's say I want to export this for a web site and then drag it in here
you'll notice that it kind of doesn't match up to my column.
Mentions up to the full image.
OK so it's not what I want.
So what I can do is I'm going to close it down and undo out undo undo and do.
OK.
So what I can do is I want to get it kind of roughly where I think it should be.
Actually I'll give this fill.
And so that's the interesting crop that I want and I'm going to crop it for good.
OK so it's not really anything to do with this.
That's handy.
But if I select the image I can go to this one this is Krop image OK and I can grab the images here
and it'll snap to that box.
So it was some sort of prices outcropping mask but if I click apply that now is gone the literally the
pixels that line are on the wall so that I don't need that now.
Yeah it's totally gone if I go inside of it it's just that image gives the file size small.
And when I use the export I drag and.
It's just that guy.
I know it looks like it was on the side but it's not just it needs to be square and awesome and nicks
trick.
So the next one is going be a file place.
I'm going to bring in multiple images so it's quite close so I can bring in multiple images at once.
And and a nice thing is is your arrow keys so your arrow keys can see I've got one of Forbess they say
I want to put them in order so I don't want this one you and I can kind of cycle through them and say
that's the one I want.
I want that one here.
And and I want the next one is that guy.
I'm just making up right.
Yet you get that idea.
It can also Or does what you can do a case or multiple images.
Let's look at bringing in images a slightly different way.
It's going to file place.
And so there's two ways of bringing in images we can link them OK or not link them so I'm going to not
link this guy and I'm going to link the next person and I'll show you the pros and cons of both of these.
So you like number one link this guy.
Bring him in.
OK so one guy's linked one guy's night you can kind of tell one's got that placeholder.
Well the big kind of acts in the middle of it now.
The trouble with each of them.
This guy here is linked.
OK.
Which means illustrate illustrator works a bit faster.
This guy's a bearded.
So he's in the illustrator file makes the file size quite big and makes the machine run slow.
And so you've got lots of images try to link them makes things fast.
The only trouble with us is if you go and delete that image now off your harddrive OK.
Like when you go hit delete.
It's gonna go hey what with that thing.
And so there's pros and cons.
One of the things you can do though say you got one you'll actually stop being linked.
It's a pain.
I want to send it to somebody and I want it to be all inside Illustrator file.
You can go to a window.
Go to Lincs and here my images the ones that have this little image here means that they are embedded.
OK.
And this one's not.
That's linked so you can.
What I want to do is this guy I want to unbid sock'em right click it and say UNAMID.
OK so it will ask you where you want it to put it.
Stick it on your hard drive.
We'll make a link.
They can it gets out of Illustrator.
And this one here I can right click and I can say embed this image and it will kind of yank it from
its link.
And now it's stuck inside this Illustrator file for.
That can be handy.
This links Pennel is just quite handy.
Open it up because sometimes you've got like two are you working with right.
I've got friends that I work with and they work.
I don't know how they end up up there but they end up with like like a snail trail of design up there
and you're like man this Illustrator files can you looking at a hearing like how does this guy gay and
you can go on I think it's an option here.
Take me to link and it shows me all the way up here is that file.
All right I'm going I close it down and move on to our next trick the next one is creating I'm going
to create a new document King and I'm I've done a drawing in my notebook.
I've taken a photo over of a scan and I want to draw over the top.
OK so I want to put it on its own layer maybe lower the pastie make you lay on top of that lock the
background layer.
All of that jazz right.
We've done it before.
And what we can do is go to a file and go to place go down to say coverage at all.
And I'm not going to link to this template.
OK.
And let's click place.
It's pretty cool.
It goes through.
And like I said I can click on it.
It's faded out.
It's on it's own layer.
It's locked.
I've got a new lead to work on super handy last thing we'll do is we'll stop pasting images inside of
things so let's say I want this inside of the text.
OK.
Well then it does kind of get it where I want it to go.
I'm going to make mine kind of bit bigger because I want to do this.
Slick them both make sure the text is on front and had come on 7 or Control-C even on a PC.
Cool thing about it takes it still area will I need to double click it a couple of times.
An old gag I know and you click off click back in the background a couple of times and yep.
So the image is inside.
And that takes us to irritable supercool.
Now getting inside say a shape like this.
Let's say I'm going to it's a new shape.
We're going to make it.
It's just the policy circles.
If I do that with this can I go into the back try the exact same thing.
Actually it's only a sorry it's wrong anyway.
So I've got you know put it back sleeked you guys and I'm going to get in and pick whichever one is
at the top.
OK so that's not going to work.
So I'm going to select these guys and group them control.
Gee I think these guys come on seven bucks.
It works even worse.
So what we need to do is not group them.
So I mean group them and what we're going to do is go to make him a compound shape the Szoka is command
right.
OK.
Or is that commands.
And then I was just talking about these eight make cowpath and nothing really happens right.
What do you do.
Bots magic.
Now if I do it now if I do.
C'mon seven.
C'mon eight months when that will happen.
Awesome.
That is it for my tips and tricks for images.
Let's get on to the next video.
