WEBVTT 00:00.180 --> 00:05.470 Write it's time to do some Yvonne's image tips and tricks and there's not much we can do about this 00:05.480 --> 00:06.490 I'm cool. 00:06.500 --> 00:07.680 Yeah a little work for things. 00:07.680 --> 00:08.790 I think you'll like. 00:08.790 --> 00:09.590 Let's get started. 00:09.620 --> 00:12.230 All right so first trick is going to zoom out a little bit. 00:12.240 --> 00:16.620 I want to bring in an image and crop it and and not use a clipping mask. 00:16.640 --> 00:18.380 I want to delete the stuff. 00:18.390 --> 00:23.750 OK so we're going to go file place and we're going to find the one called Mike or desk. 00:23.790 --> 00:25.290 Sorry good place. 00:25.290 --> 00:30.060 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 00:30.060 --> 00:33.280 a space about a third of my document right. 00:33.390 --> 00:39.060 And so at the moment that's the space I wanted to fill what we could do is we grab this image and kind 00:39.060 --> 00:39.910 of get it. 00:39.930 --> 00:41.600 We want like both of them. 00:41.640 --> 00:45.330 C'mon Steven or controls even on a PC and that kind of crop's it down. 00:45.330 --> 00:48.580 We can double click it it it get it how we want right. 00:48.690 --> 00:50.490 Double click the background to get back out. 00:50.490 --> 00:54.750 Now the problem with this is that you can kind of see if I hover above the image there's a red band 00:54.750 --> 00:58.100 around it means the image is actually still in there which is conical I can get to it at it. 00:58.140 --> 01:02.760 I understand that but let's say I want to get rid of it because a keeps the file size really big Having 01:02.760 --> 01:04.570 extra pixels that I don't need. 01:04.570 --> 01:10.680 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. 01:10.770 --> 01:12.040 I'll show you what I mean window. 01:12.180 --> 01:18.390 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 01:18.540 --> 01:22.350 you'll notice that it kind of doesn't match up to my column. 01:22.390 --> 01:24.330 Mentions up to the full image. 01:24.330 --> 01:25.940 OK so it's not what I want. 01:25.980 --> 01:32.940 So what I can do is I'm going to close it down and undo out undo undo and do. 01:33.180 --> 01:33.470 OK. 01:33.480 --> 01:38.190 So what I can do is I want to get it kind of roughly where I think it should be. 01:38.190 --> 01:40.080 Actually I'll give this fill. 01:40.170 --> 01:44.440 And so that's the interesting crop that I want and I'm going to crop it for good. 01:44.440 --> 01:46.470 OK so it's not really anything to do with this. 01:46.470 --> 01:47.460 That's handy. 01:47.460 --> 01:53.280 But if I select the image I can go to this one this is Krop image OK and I can grab the images here 01:53.550 --> 01:55.670 and it'll snap to that box. 01:55.680 --> 02:02.940 So it was some sort of prices outcropping mask but if I click apply that now is gone the literally the 02:02.940 --> 02:07.030 pixels that line are on the wall so that I don't need that now. 02:07.050 --> 02:11.200 Yeah it's totally gone if I go inside of it it's just that image gives the file size small. 02:11.250 --> 02:14.590 And when I use the export I drag and. 02:14.990 --> 02:15.970 It's just that guy. 02:16.050 --> 02:21.840 I know it looks like it was on the side but it's not just it needs to be square and awesome and nicks 02:21.840 --> 02:22.270 trick. 02:22.350 --> 02:24.720 So the next one is going be a file place. 02:24.730 --> 02:30.100 I'm going to bring in multiple images so it's quite close so I can bring in multiple images at once. 02:30.200 --> 02:36.680 And and a nice thing is is your arrow keys so your arrow keys can see I've got one of Forbess they say 02:36.710 --> 02:40.800 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 02:40.800 --> 02:41.450 that's the one I want. 02:41.450 --> 02:42.450 I want that one here. 02:42.650 --> 02:45.560 And and I want the next one is that guy. 02:45.600 --> 02:47.590 I'm just making up right. 02:47.950 --> 02:49.230 Yet you get that idea. 02:49.240 --> 02:52.920 It can also Or does what you can do a case or multiple images. 02:52.920 --> 02:56.160 Let's look at bringing in images a slightly different way. 02:56.280 --> 02:57.600 It's going to file place. 02:57.630 --> 03:03.330 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 03:03.330 --> 03:08.400 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. 03:08.460 --> 03:11.540 So you like number one link this guy. 03:11.640 --> 03:12.340 Bring him in. 03:12.540 --> 03:17.350 OK so one guy's linked one guy's night you can kind of tell one's got that placeholder. 03:17.360 --> 03:19.830 Well the big kind of acts in the middle of it now. 03:19.860 --> 03:21.750 The trouble with each of them. 03:21.870 --> 03:23.620 This guy here is linked. 03:23.730 --> 03:24.280 OK. 03:24.300 --> 03:26.540 Which means illustrate illustrator works a bit faster. 03:26.550 --> 03:27.570 This guy's a bearded. 03:27.570 --> 03:31.860 So he's in the illustrator file makes the file size quite big and makes the machine run slow. 03:32.070 --> 03:35.820 And so you've got lots of images try to link them makes things fast. 03:35.820 --> 03:39.580 The only trouble with us is if you go and delete that image now off your harddrive OK. 03:39.590 --> 03:40.960 Like when you go hit delete. 03:40.960 --> 03:42.670 It's gonna go hey what with that thing. 03:42.900 --> 03:45.490 And so there's pros and cons. 03:45.510 --> 03:49.110 One of the things you can do though say you got one you'll actually stop being linked. 03:49.110 --> 03:49.930 It's a pain. 03:49.990 --> 03:53.810 I want to send it to somebody and I want it to be all inside Illustrator file. 03:53.880 --> 03:54.900 You can go to a window. 03:55.110 --> 04:02.280 Go to Lincs and here my images the ones that have this little image here means that they are embedded. 04:02.460 --> 04:03.040 OK. 04:03.200 --> 04:04.560 And this one's not. 04:04.580 --> 04:06.680 That's linked so you can. 04:06.770 --> 04:11.570 What I want to do is this guy I want to unbid sock'em right click it and say UNAMID. 04:11.750 --> 04:14.580 OK so it will ask you where you want it to put it. 04:14.610 --> 04:15.840 Stick it on your hard drive. 04:15.840 --> 04:17.570 We'll make a link. 04:17.650 --> 04:20.170 They can it gets out of Illustrator. 04:20.360 --> 04:25.520 And this one here I can right click and I can say embed this image and it will kind of yank it from 04:25.520 --> 04:26.010 its link. 04:26.090 --> 04:29.270 And now it's stuck inside this Illustrator file for. 04:29.540 --> 04:30.530 That can be handy. 04:30.530 --> 04:32.150 This links Pennel is just quite handy. 04:32.150 --> 04:35.360 Open it up because sometimes you've got like two are you working with right. 04:35.360 --> 04:37.950 I've got friends that I work with and they work. 04:38.150 --> 04:42.410 I don't know how they end up up there but they end up with like like a snail trail of design up there 04:42.410 --> 04:47.570 and you're like man this Illustrator files can you looking at a hearing like how does this guy gay and 04:47.570 --> 04:49.290 you can go on I think it's an option here. 04:49.310 --> 04:54.050 Take me to link and it shows me all the way up here is that file. 04:56.510 --> 05:02.530 All right I'm going I close it down and move on to our next trick the next one is creating I'm going 05:02.530 --> 05:08.670 to create a new document King and I'm I've done a drawing in my notebook. 05:08.680 --> 05:11.780 I've taken a photo over of a scan and I want to draw over the top. 05:11.800 --> 05:16.930 OK so I want to put it on its own layer maybe lower the pastie make you lay on top of that lock the 05:16.930 --> 05:17.640 background layer. 05:17.650 --> 05:18.630 All of that jazz right. 05:18.630 --> 05:19.610 We've done it before. 05:19.840 --> 05:26.490 And what we can do is go to a file and go to place go down to say coverage at all. 05:26.680 --> 05:29.020 And I'm not going to link to this template. 05:29.150 --> 05:29.430 OK. 05:29.440 --> 05:31.100 And let's click place. 05:31.110 --> 05:31.810 It's pretty cool. 05:31.810 --> 05:32.600 It goes through. 05:32.620 --> 05:34.480 And like I said I can click on it. 05:34.510 --> 05:35.330 It's faded out. 05:35.350 --> 05:37.240 It's on it's own layer. 05:37.270 --> 05:37.970 It's locked. 05:37.990 --> 05:43.840 I've got a new lead to work on super handy last thing we'll do is we'll stop pasting images inside of 05:43.840 --> 05:47.820 things so let's say I want this inside of the text. 05:47.840 --> 05:48.540 OK. 05:49.070 --> 05:51.220 Well then it does kind of get it where I want it to go. 05:51.220 --> 05:55.470 I'm going to make mine kind of bit bigger because I want to do this. 05:55.640 --> 06:00.890 Slick them both make sure the text is on front and had come on 7 or Control-C even on a PC. 06:00.890 --> 06:04.600 Cool thing about it takes it still area will I need to double click it a couple of times. 06:04.860 --> 06:15.490 An old gag I know and you click off click back in the background a couple of times and yep. 06:15.550 --> 06:16.950 So the image is inside. 06:16.960 --> 06:19.620 And that takes us to irritable supercool. 06:19.660 --> 06:22.070 Now getting inside say a shape like this. 06:22.120 --> 06:24.540 Let's say I'm going to it's a new shape. 06:24.600 --> 06:25.300 We're going to make it. 06:25.300 --> 06:26.720 It's just the policy circles. 06:26.770 --> 06:32.100 If I do that with this can I go into the back try the exact same thing. 06:32.090 --> 06:36.430 Actually it's only a sorry it's wrong anyway. 06:36.640 --> 06:43.280 So I've got you know put it back sleeked you guys and I'm going to get in and pick whichever one is 06:43.280 --> 06:43.990 at the top. 06:44.130 --> 06:45.290 OK so that's not going to work. 06:45.290 --> 06:48.700 So I'm going to select these guys and group them control. 06:48.720 --> 06:52.050 Gee I think these guys come on seven bucks. 06:52.220 --> 06:53.650 It works even worse. 06:53.660 --> 06:55.640 So what we need to do is not group them. 06:55.740 --> 07:00.890 So I mean group them and what we're going to do is go to make him a compound shape the Szoka is command 07:00.960 --> 07:01.540 right. 07:01.630 --> 07:02.140 OK. 07:02.220 --> 07:04.060 Or is that commands. 07:04.070 --> 07:09.090 And then I was just talking about these eight make cowpath and nothing really happens right. 07:09.370 --> 07:10.480 What do you do. 07:10.570 --> 07:12.020 Bots magic. 07:12.020 --> 07:14.540 Now if I do it now if I do. 07:14.540 --> 07:16.060 C'mon seven. 07:16.070 --> 07:18.310 C'mon eight months when that will happen. 07:18.320 --> 07:18.760 Awesome. 07:18.770 --> 07:21.210 That is it for my tips and tricks for images. 07:21.290 --> 07:22.880 Let's get on to the next video.
