WEBVTT 00:00.450 --> 00:07.240 Let's learn Photoshop in about 15 minutes My name is Phil Bonnar from video school online.com. 00:07.350 --> 00:13.500 And in this tutorial I want to teach you the basics of Photoshop how to get started it would take many 00:13.500 --> 00:18.900 hours to learn all of the cool things you can do with Photoshop and maybe even many years to perfect 00:18.900 --> 00:19.990 those things. 00:20.190 --> 00:22.080 But you can get it started right now. 00:22.080 --> 00:26.790 So in this tutorial we're going to cover things like getting started opening starting a new project 00:26.880 --> 00:32.400 adding layers adjusting the size of your different layers like photos adding text shapes. 00:32.520 --> 00:38.430 Doing some basic adjustments and saving so that you can make your own basic graphics or photo edits. 00:38.460 --> 00:44.150 So the first thing we need to do is open up Photoshop so I'm using Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud. 00:44.160 --> 00:46.500 20:17 version. 00:46.680 --> 00:51.810 The new creative cloud version sometimes has updates when they do their own updates. 00:51.810 --> 00:55.790 There's new maybe new tweaks or tools or things that they improve. 00:56.040 --> 01:01.740 But no matter what version you're using even if you're using a noncreative cloud version like CSI 6 01:01.740 --> 01:05.750 or CSI 5 you should be able to do most of the things here. 01:05.760 --> 01:06.920 I'm also on a Mac. 01:07.050 --> 01:14.250 So some of the things that I do here will be a different keyboard shortcut on a PC but I'll try to explain 01:14.250 --> 01:15.660 that while I go. 01:15.750 --> 01:20.310 I'm also going to be including the keyboard shortcuts on the bottom of the screen so you can follow 01:20.310 --> 01:20.870 along. 01:21.000 --> 01:26.400 When you open up Photoshop for the first time you might get a window like this that pops up for creating 01:26.400 --> 01:31.600 a new document or it might show projects that you've already opened up in the past. 01:31.740 --> 01:40.110 If you don't see this window you can just go up to the file new button or command an on a Mac or control 01:40.170 --> 01:42.610 end on a PC. 01:42.630 --> 01:48.990 This gives you lots of different options for starting your project TARC starting your sort of graphic 01:49.530 --> 01:51.690 and you can choose the basic size. 01:51.690 --> 01:58.470 There are some basics presets that they have some templates under these different tabs or if you've 01:58.470 --> 02:03.660 created different templates in the past or use different sizes in the past they'll show up here under 02:03.660 --> 02:06.560 the recent on the right you can customize it though. 02:06.570 --> 02:13.440 So say we want to create a perfectly square image then we would set the width and the height to wall 02:13.440 --> 02:20.760 whatever we want but we'll just do 1000 pixels by 1000 pixels pixels is the dimensions that we use mostly 02:21.090 --> 02:23.010 in terms of digital graphics. 02:23.010 --> 02:29.530 You can change this to things like inches or centimeters or other types of measurement below you have 02:29.530 --> 02:35.320 resolution 150 is a pretty solid standard for web graphics even for printing. 02:35.350 --> 02:39.490 This is basically the quality of the resolution. 02:39.640 --> 02:41.920 So I would just leave that 150 color mode. 02:41.920 --> 02:45.720 We're going to leave the RSGB color 8 bit is fine. 02:45.730 --> 02:51.520 Sometimes in different scenarios you're going to be asked to create a graphic in different settings 02:51.520 --> 02:55.630 and this is where you set them and then you can change the title up here so I'm just going to call this 02:56.230 --> 03:00.160 test and then choose create. 03:00.160 --> 03:07.720 Once you do that you have this blank canvas pop up on your screen and you see here that we have this 03:07.720 --> 03:10.870 tab at the top of Photoshop that says test. 03:10.870 --> 03:13.760 This is our project that we're working on. 03:13.960 --> 03:19.340 Let's just do a really quick run around for where things are in Photoshop. 03:19.450 --> 03:21.230 You have your top menu up here. 03:21.250 --> 03:26.980 This is where you can get to a lot of different settings and even some filters and an adjustment layers 03:26.980 --> 03:28.990 and things like that on the left. 03:28.990 --> 03:32.950 We have a different tool panel with all of our different tools. 03:32.950 --> 03:36.480 We're going to be going over how to use some of these in just a minute. 03:37.250 --> 03:43.010 Over on the right hand side we have more panels and you have different buttons and tabs and these are 03:43.010 --> 03:49.040 things that we're going to be able to click and pop open and close them down by shutting them down. 03:49.040 --> 03:54.530 We're going to be going over how to use some of these in this tutorial and by learning how to use some 03:54.530 --> 03:58.190 of them you can basically understand how all of them work. 03:58.280 --> 04:05.240 You can rearrange your workspace you can drag the edge of these things in and out these different panels 04:05.240 --> 04:11.930 and windows you can drag these buttons up and down to rearrange them all stuff that you can do to customize 04:11.930 --> 04:17.570 your workspace as you learn which tools and panels you use most. 04:17.570 --> 04:23.840 So first things first we're going to practice Photoshop by adding a photo to this graphic say we're 04:23.840 --> 04:26.640 creating something for Instagram or Facebook. 04:26.750 --> 04:29.570 We want to add a photo to this graphic. 04:29.570 --> 04:38.030 I'm going to go over to my finder or my documents and if you want you can download these files in this 04:38.030 --> 04:38.910 little tutorial. 04:38.920 --> 04:43.940 I've attached them and I'm going to just place the flowers graphic. 04:43.940 --> 04:45.470 I have two photos that we're using. 04:45.470 --> 04:47.420 One is this trail photo. 04:47.420 --> 04:52.040 One is this flower is one you'll see that the flower is is a JPEG file. 04:52.100 --> 04:54.380 This is a compressed photo file. 04:54.380 --> 05:00.920 The trail is a raw image file and I want to show you how that opens up in Photoshop in just a minute 05:00.950 --> 05:07.970 because it's different when you open up a raw image with flowers or with any graphic that you have it 05:07.970 --> 05:10.320 doesn't have to necessarily just be photos. 05:10.350 --> 05:16.030 We can literally just drag and drop it onto our Photoshop project. 05:16.060 --> 05:23.680 You see that it appears initially you can adjust the size of this you see that it has these adjustments 05:23.680 --> 05:25.990 on the edge the bounding box. 05:25.990 --> 05:30.030 And we can resize it by clicking the corners dragging in and out. 05:30.160 --> 05:34.520 You can see that as I do that it can get squished or stretched. 05:34.780 --> 05:42.070 But if I hold shift down it locks the aspect ratio so that it doesn't get squished or squash and that's 05:42.070 --> 05:42.510 smart. 05:42.510 --> 05:49.190 When you are resizing photos so I can move this around and say I'm happy with where it is. 05:49.210 --> 05:52.880 I press return on my keyboard and that places it. 05:52.990 --> 05:59.690 If you didn't see those control transformation controls you might need to check this box up here. 06:01.430 --> 06:07.250 And that will show or turn on or turn turn off those transformation trolls. 06:07.250 --> 06:14.240 You'll also notice that when we added this photo there's this new flowers layer in our layer panel. 06:14.390 --> 06:15.060 OK. 06:15.290 --> 06:19.820 So this is our layer panel you can think of these as all the different layers we're going to add to 06:19.820 --> 06:20.830 this project. 06:21.020 --> 06:27.240 Text shapes you can add more images that kind of stuff that ends up in the layer panel. 06:27.260 --> 06:32.540 The flowers are above the white background and you can turn on or off any of these layers. 06:32.540 --> 06:41.740 By clicking this eyeball over here quickly let's just zoom out a little bit from our comp our project 06:41.740 --> 06:42.970 or our workspace. 06:42.970 --> 06:48.340 You can do that by typing in a percentage down here in the bottom left right now I'm at 100 percent 06:48.370 --> 06:50.790 that's based off of my screen resolution. 06:50.890 --> 06:55.900 Depending on your screen it might be higher or lower percentage but say up to 80 you can see that it 06:55.900 --> 06:57.100 zooms out. 06:57.100 --> 07:03.940 We also have a tool that allows us to do that over on the toolbar you can choose this magnifying glass 07:04.470 --> 07:11.320 and if I choose that I have this plus mine magnifying glass that allows me to zoom in or I can click 07:11.320 --> 07:17.770 the minus option up here because once you select a tool all those tool options will show up here in 07:17.770 --> 07:20.890 the top bar of Photoshop. 07:20.920 --> 07:24.280 So we have for this tool a plus or minus. 07:24.350 --> 07:31.960 We can also with most tools press the option button to change the version of the tool. 07:31.970 --> 07:37.110 So if I press the option button that's on a Mac for a PC that would be the all button. 07:37.190 --> 07:42.380 You can see that the tool changes from what I had just selected minus two plus. 07:42.380 --> 07:49.430 So if I go too far for example instead of going up here depressed Plus I can press the option key and 07:49.430 --> 07:50.210 then click. 07:50.360 --> 07:58.020 That's just a quick sort of efficiency tip for editing your photos and using Photoshop. 07:58.040 --> 08:01.240 Once I do that I'm still in the plus or minus zoom tool. 08:01.280 --> 08:07.820 I want to go back to this move tool which is the basic move tool that you're going to be using to kind 08:07.820 --> 08:09.140 of move things around. 08:09.260 --> 08:14.750 And I want to make this the full size of this composition so I'm just going to stretch it out holding 08:14.750 --> 08:18.450 Shift and moving it around. 08:18.480 --> 08:22.230 You'll notice that on my photoshop you see these purple lines. 08:22.380 --> 08:29.160 Pop open pop up like that and that those are just guys that kind of helped me understand if this photo 08:29.160 --> 08:30.540 is centered or not. 08:30.540 --> 08:37.320 If you have this plus or this cross of the pink lines it means that it's directly centered. 08:37.560 --> 08:45.050 If you don't see those pink lines popping up to help guide you go to your view menu beneath extras you 08:45.050 --> 08:50.630 see this show option and make sure that smart guides is checked on and you can do that just by checking 08:50.630 --> 08:54.990 that on and also making sure that Extras is checked on as well. 08:55.070 --> 08:59.990 So that's how you move things that's how you reposition things and once you're done whenever you're 08:59.990 --> 09:05.300 done sort of moving or rotating because you can also rotate photos by hovering over the edge and you 09:05.300 --> 09:12.670 see the mouse turns into this sort of two sided arrow with a curve you can rotate things. 09:12.680 --> 09:21.530 This is also a good time to understand how Photoshop works in terms of undoing things because while 09:21.530 --> 09:29.160 you can go back in time in history with Photoshop it's not an easy tool to undo multiple changes that 09:29.180 --> 09:34.790 you saw there that actually rotated this and then to undo that. 09:34.910 --> 09:39.400 I'm going to press command Z and that undo that rotation. 09:39.410 --> 09:46.400 But if I press commands again it actually just reverts back to it kind of redos and goes back to that 09:47.030 --> 09:55.890 rotation that I had set to actually go back in time to a previous step we have a history panel and it's 09:55.890 --> 10:02.530 this little one up here or if you go to window history and you'll see all of the different steps we've 10:02.530 --> 10:03.980 done I've only done a few. 10:04.060 --> 10:05.590 We created a new project. 10:05.590 --> 10:08.150 We placed the smart object which was the photo. 10:08.180 --> 10:10.460 We moved it and then we transformed it. 10:10.480 --> 10:15.490 If I go back to New It goes all the way back to the beginning and I can go back to this free transform 10:15.550 --> 10:18.390 after I've done all my moves and everything. 10:18.520 --> 10:26.080 But you all kind of understand as you go along how undoing different things is sometimes impossible 10:26.440 --> 10:28.500 in Photoshop as you go along. 10:28.780 --> 10:30.430 So we learned about the zoom tool. 10:30.430 --> 10:33.430 So let's quickly go over just some of the other tools. 10:33.520 --> 10:36.920 I'm going to let you play around with these That's the best way to learn. 10:37.030 --> 10:42.250 But some of the coolest ones are the selection tool or the quick selection tool and you can see if I 10:42.460 --> 10:46.740 click and hold some of these tools have different options underneath. 10:46.840 --> 10:50.910 So you click and hold and then you see all of the options pop out open. 10:51.190 --> 10:56.110 So I'm going to like the quick selection tool and this is a great way to select just a part of an image 10:56.800 --> 11:02.290 you see here that if I click it's not going to let me because it says that I need a layer selected. 11:02.440 --> 11:07.960 And that's because over my layer panel I don't have any layer selected I first need to make sure that 11:07.960 --> 11:13.680 I'm selecting the flowers layer and that's highlighted before I start making a selection. 11:13.900 --> 11:16.860 Say I just want to like this flower up here. 11:16.930 --> 11:23.680 Let me just zoom in to 100 percent so you can see I can just click over and you can see that it starts 11:23.680 --> 11:25.200 to make a selection. 11:26.420 --> 11:27.210 So let me just. 11:27.380 --> 11:34.030 I'm just clicking and dragging holding the drag button down and so I made a selection of this flower 11:34.720 --> 11:35.440 with this tool. 11:35.440 --> 11:38.880 There is a cool refine option selecting the mask. 11:38.980 --> 11:42.710 So if I click that you can see what is being selected. 11:42.790 --> 11:45.340 You could make all kinds of adjustments here. 11:45.370 --> 11:52.660 You can feather the edge you can use a smart radius for having Photoshop kind of detect the edge on 11:52.660 --> 11:53.540 its own. 11:53.740 --> 11:57.010 And if I click OK that selection is still made. 11:57.070 --> 11:59.180 Now what can we do with that selection. 11:59.230 --> 12:03.940 We can copy it for example so let me go back to my move tool and to copy. 12:03.940 --> 12:10.510 I'm just going to press command see on a Mac that's Control-C on a PC and then command V and control 12:10.510 --> 12:11.440 V. 12:11.680 --> 12:16.690 You see that there's a new layer in the lower panel of that new copied version. 12:16.690 --> 12:22.440 And if I move it you can see that I've created another bunch of flowers. 12:22.480 --> 12:23.460 Pretty cool right. 12:23.800 --> 12:27.560 If I put this underneath the flowers layer it disappears. 12:27.610 --> 12:33.820 So that kind of again helps you understand the layer panel a little bit more to delete this layer. 12:33.820 --> 12:39.250 I'm just going to select it and then just press the lead on my keyboard or this little trash can icon 12:39.310 --> 12:45.910 down here in the bottom right it ask me if I wanted to delete the letter I'm going to say yes. 12:45.960 --> 12:47.100 So that's one tool. 12:47.100 --> 12:52.830 Let me just show you a couple of other tools some of these tools adjust the actual images some actually 12:52.830 --> 13:00.120 create new layers so this dodge and burn tool this actually with my flowers letters selected. 13:00.300 --> 13:05.810 If I click on it it's going to say that your smart object needs to be raster size before proceeding. 13:05.820 --> 13:07.470 This gets a little bit tricky. 13:07.650 --> 13:14.580 Just know that when you raster rise an object it actually means that when you're making edits to it 13:14.790 --> 13:16.300 those edits are permanent. 13:16.330 --> 13:23.660 OK so I'm going to click OK just to show you and when I have this dodge and burn tool my brush sizes 13:23.730 --> 13:26.580 really big up here in the top left. 13:26.610 --> 13:32.440 You can change the size of the brush and is for many tools they appear as brushes. 13:32.760 --> 13:39.060 And so if I paint over this it's very subtle but you can see that it's actually brightening and that's 13:39.060 --> 13:41.220 because my exposure is set at 54. 13:41.220 --> 13:43.000 I'm going to undo that. 13:43.080 --> 13:48.740 Let me set my exposure to 100 I'm also going to change the range to highlights. 13:48.750 --> 13:54.720 And now if I paint on you can see that it's really affecting a different part of the image making a 13:54.720 --> 14:01.290 lot brighter the shape tool and the text tool are two tools that I use a lot if I hold over the shape 14:01.290 --> 14:01.790 tool. 14:01.800 --> 14:07.260 You see all the different options we have elipse lines rounded rectangle. 14:07.260 --> 14:09.780 Let's just use the rectangle tool. 14:09.780 --> 14:15.540 When I select that I have my options appear to affect the shape the fill color is white so that's going 14:15.540 --> 14:18.000 to be a white shape if I want to change that. 14:18.000 --> 14:25.170 I can just select one of these colors or click this little color picker I can choose a specific color 14:25.220 --> 14:25.910 up here. 14:26.130 --> 14:31.120 I can click on my image anywhere to find a specific color then click OK. 14:31.530 --> 14:34.960 You have your stroke option which is set off right now. 14:35.310 --> 14:36.700 And if I just drag. 14:37.080 --> 14:39.150 Now we have this new shape. 14:39.150 --> 14:44.430 You see that also when I did that this shape appears in the layer panel above flowers. 14:44.430 --> 14:50.700 We also have this properties panel that popped open and that has sort of the similar effects as up here 14:50.940 --> 14:58.600 with a couple more if we want to round our corners we can do that by changing the corner roundness. 14:58.680 --> 15:05.240 You can change the position the shape the color on here too to close any of these panels that pop open. 15:05.240 --> 15:12.030 You can just click that button to close it or just click this little arrow button to close it as well. 15:12.030 --> 15:18.120 Now I can go back to my move tool move this around say we want to add a title at the top of this we 15:18.120 --> 15:19.140 can do that. 15:19.230 --> 15:21.350 I'm going to just put this up in the center. 15:21.690 --> 15:27.690 Now I'm going to take my text textual with the text tool selected you have your font choices you have 15:27.690 --> 15:36.040 your font size similar to really any sort of text editor if you click the a character panel or the P 15:36.060 --> 15:37.380 paragraph panel. 15:37.380 --> 15:40.300 Actually that's not a P but kind of a backwards p. 15:40.380 --> 15:43.910 You get all of your text options to create text though. 15:43.920 --> 15:52.880 I can just I need to just click in my project and then start typing flowers and case. 15:52.910 --> 16:00.410 So when you're happy with that to move it and to resize it I can go back to my move tool I can move 16:00.410 --> 16:01.060 it around. 16:01.070 --> 16:08.520 I can resize it again holding Shift down to lock its aspect ratio and there you have it. 16:08.550 --> 16:14.340 Once I'm done moving it around again I have to press return on my keyboard to actually lock it in place. 16:14.340 --> 16:18.180 Let's just go over one quick sort of adjustment option. 16:18.180 --> 16:24.270 So if I select this flower and I want to make an overall adjustment maybe I want to make it black and 16:24.270 --> 16:24.830 white. 16:24.870 --> 16:26.720 There's lots of different ways that we can do that. 16:26.730 --> 16:30.000 One way is by adding an adjustment layer. 16:30.000 --> 16:34.950 If I click this little button down in the bottom right that brings up all kinds of different adjustment 16:35.010 --> 16:36.000 layers. 16:36.060 --> 16:40.710 And so if I click one of these let's say human saturation. 16:40.710 --> 16:48.000 What happens is this little adjustment layer pops up above the flowers layer that I had selected and 16:48.000 --> 16:52.100 then this property panel popped open and I can adjust the properties. 16:52.110 --> 16:55.500 So if I want to drop the saturation make it black and white I can do that. 16:55.550 --> 16:58.310 The one to boost the saturation I can do that as well. 16:58.500 --> 17:00.720 So that affects everything beneath it. 17:00.720 --> 17:06.020 So if I put this above the rectangle it's going to also affect the rectangle. 17:06.030 --> 17:14.300 Got it and this is a smart way of adjusting your photos because there's other ways to adjust this photo. 17:14.370 --> 17:19.650 Instead of adding those hue saturation layer adjustment which I turned off just by checking the eyeball 17:19.650 --> 17:27.180 over there if I selected this layer went up to image and then adjustments and then added a hue saturation 17:27.270 --> 17:31.960 adjustment and say we dropped it to black and white and clicked OK. 17:32.310 --> 17:36.780 Well now that is locked and we can't do anything to that photo. 17:36.810 --> 17:38.340 We can't really undo it. 17:38.340 --> 17:44.580 While I can't undo it right now because I have one step backwards going back to that it being a colored 17:44.580 --> 17:44.880 version. 17:44.880 --> 17:52.590 But let me just show you really quickly what if I then selected both of these this text and the background 17:52.590 --> 17:59.940 shape layer by selecting the rectangle in the layer panel then pressing pressing shift and selecting 17:59.940 --> 18:07.620 flowers text so I can select two objects and moving it down pressing return to place it. 18:07.620 --> 18:13.830 Now if I want to undo I can and do but say I say all but I want to undo the flowers adjustment the black 18:13.830 --> 18:14.750 and white adjustment. 18:14.910 --> 18:22.950 I can't do it unless I go up to the history panel and go back to this layer order right before the hue 18:22.950 --> 18:23.860 saturation. 18:23.910 --> 18:32.010 But then everything else I did after the hue saturation layer adjustment or image adjustment is it has 18:32.010 --> 18:34.820 to be undo did too. 18:34.950 --> 18:40.260 So I know it gets a little confusing but when you're making adjustments to images it's better to use 18:40.260 --> 18:44.510 the layer adjustments and not just image adjustments. 18:44.520 --> 18:50.020 One other quick thing I want to talk about is your opacity and blend modes. 18:50.220 --> 18:58.070 So the opacity for every layer is basically if it's visible or invisible you can click and drop select 18:58.070 --> 19:04.800 Alair and then click and drag or the left or right to really drop or increase it or you can select a 19:04.800 --> 19:07.530 specific number and actually type it in. 19:07.530 --> 19:13.800 So say we want this text to be 50 percent opacity or opaque along with opacity. 19:13.800 --> 19:20.180 There is what's called a blend mode right now every layer is set to a normal blend mode. 19:20.460 --> 19:26.160 If we dropped down this options right here you can change it to a different type of blend mode. 19:26.280 --> 19:31.710 In each of these has a different type of effect to scroll through these really quickly actually what 19:31.710 --> 19:37.980 you can do is press shift and then the plus or minus keys at the top of your keyboard that they should 19:37.980 --> 19:44.010 be right to the left of the delete key and you can see all kinds of different effects and these are 19:44.010 --> 19:45.540 just cool to know about. 19:45.540 --> 19:50.610 In case you want to come up with a cool style you know this stuff is just something you'll play around 19:50.610 --> 19:55.020 with but I end up using a lot of Blen modes when creating graphics myself. 19:55.020 --> 20:00.590 So I've learned how to open a project we've learned how to place objects into that project resize them. 20:00.660 --> 20:04.710 We've learned about the tool panel not all of the tools but you know how to use them. 20:04.770 --> 20:07.980 Play around with them just click on them and start using them. 20:08.010 --> 20:10.400 If you have questions you can always let me know. 20:10.410 --> 20:14.440 We know that up here with each of these tools we get different properties settings. 20:14.490 --> 20:19.050 We have the panels over here that also give us settings for the different tools or layers that we're 20:19.050 --> 20:19.830 using. 20:19.830 --> 20:25.630 We've learned a little bit more about the layer panel and how that works with adjustment layers What 20:25.630 --> 20:26.110 next. 20:26.110 --> 20:31.200 A couple more things that I want you to understand before letting you go play on your own. 20:31.210 --> 20:37.050 What if I have a photo and I just want to make an edit to that photo without creating a different size 20:37.060 --> 20:40.460 if I want the project to be the exact size of that photo. 20:40.480 --> 20:48.450 What you can do simply is actually just drop the photo into or onto the Photoshop icon. 20:48.460 --> 20:55.270 So if I do that into my application icon what happens is it opens up at the original size. 20:55.270 --> 20:59.760 Now I can go in and you see that it's actually made as the background. 20:59.830 --> 21:02.470 So that's something to know and it's locked. 21:02.470 --> 21:08.230 So to unlock it you just have to click that little lock icon to the right side of the lower panel and 21:08.220 --> 21:09.970 now we can move it around. 21:10.500 --> 21:14.890 But that's how you open up a just a basic photo in Photoshop. 21:14.890 --> 21:19.410 I talked about this being a jpeg compressed photo. 21:19.450 --> 21:22.010 Here is a raw photo. 21:22.390 --> 21:28.840 If I open this up in Photoshop again just by dropping it onto the Photoshop application icon what happens 21:28.840 --> 21:31.310 is camera raw pops open. 21:31.350 --> 21:37.060 Now not everyone will have camera raw but if you have Adobe Creative Cloud and you have camera RAW the 21:37.060 --> 21:44.320 application installed all raw photos should open up like this and this is where you have all kinds of 21:44.350 --> 21:48.010 additional options for making adjustments to this photo. 21:48.010 --> 21:53.200 I'm not going to go through all of them but you have different tabs over here that allow you to do things 21:53.200 --> 22:00.320 like split toning greyscale adding Binet's sharpening changing the exposure with the tone curve. 22:00.320 --> 22:06.880 Over here in the basic panel I can do all kinds of things like increasing the overall exposure increasing 22:06.880 --> 22:13.810 the exposure of just the highlights increasing the exposure of just the shadows that kind of stuff vibrance 22:13.840 --> 22:15.280 clarity all sorts of tools. 22:15.280 --> 22:21.760 I have a full Photoshop class if you're interested that we go step by step over this kind of stuff in 22:21.760 --> 22:27.570 detail but I just want you to understand that if you're opening a Roth photo this is what happens. 22:27.580 --> 22:30.340 And then how do you bring it actually into Photoshop. 22:30.340 --> 22:37.480 Just click open image up here or down here and that will actually open it up in Photoshop as a regular 22:37.480 --> 22:38.540 project. 22:38.740 --> 22:45.880 You see now that I've opened up a few projects that I have them all open in Photoshop like this so this 22:45.980 --> 22:52.130 these tabs show all the projects you're working on say we're done with a project and we want to save 22:52.130 --> 22:52.740 it. 22:52.820 --> 22:58.130 The easiest way to do it is well first you should save a Photoshop version of your project so you can 22:58.130 --> 23:01.550 go back to this Photoshop version and make changes. 23:01.550 --> 23:06.580 So just click Set file and then save. 23:06.770 --> 23:09.320 That's going to open up the project. 23:09.410 --> 23:15.710 I'm just going to call it flower project and you see that the extension is PTSD in this save menu. 23:15.740 --> 23:16.810 You can change it. 23:16.820 --> 23:19.670 You can quickly save a JPEG if you want. 23:19.730 --> 23:23.880 You will have different options depending on what options your computer has. 23:23.930 --> 23:27.720 But right now I'm just going to save it as a photoshop project. 23:27.740 --> 23:33.860 So now if I close this down and then I go back to my finder later on tomorrow and I want to change this 23:34.100 --> 23:38.930 I mean just double click the Photoshop project and it will open up this project and I can go ahead make 23:38.930 --> 23:46.400 changes say I want to save it for online viewing if I want to put this online in a different file format. 23:46.400 --> 23:53.730 I would recommend going to a file and exporting it then go from export to export as this opens up the 23:53.730 --> 23:57.620 export as menu and you have all your different options. 23:57.660 --> 24:02.100 Typically you're going to want to save it as a j peg if you're saving for online. 24:02.280 --> 24:04.570 You can save it as a piano if you want. 24:04.570 --> 24:06.180 It's a little bit higher quality. 24:06.210 --> 24:09.100 You see you're good for your Jif your SPG files. 24:09.150 --> 24:14.190 I'm setting at JPEG the quality I'm going to leave out 100 percent. 24:14.370 --> 24:19.590 But here you also have an option for changing the image size say you saving it for a web site and they 24:19.590 --> 24:23.360 want the size to be 500 by 500 pixels. 24:23.400 --> 24:31.020 All right here in the image size of this expert panel I can set that to 500 pixels and it's automatically 24:31.020 --> 24:34.870 going to change the width and the height to match this way. 24:34.870 --> 24:40.890 I don't have to actually create in brand new Photoshop project at 500 by 500 pixels. 24:40.990 --> 24:42.180 Redo all of this. 24:42.280 --> 24:46.400 I can just sort of scaled down this project here in the export settings. 24:46.480 --> 24:51.550 You don't want to increase the image size because that's going to decrease the actual quality of the 24:51.550 --> 24:54.830 photo because you're expanding it you're blowing it up. 24:54.910 --> 24:57.620 But if you shrink it totally fine. 24:57.940 --> 25:02.740 So once you're happy with your settings just click export it's going ask you where you want to save 25:02.740 --> 25:03.180 it. 25:03.280 --> 25:05.130 Save it as flour project. 25:05.200 --> 25:08.290 It's going to be a jpeg export. 25:08.290 --> 25:13.840 Go back to our Feiner and now we have our flour project at 500 by five pixels. 25:13.840 --> 25:15.810 Perfect for posting on line. 25:15.820 --> 25:18.400 Wow I think I've gone over 15 minutes. 25:18.400 --> 25:22.690 I try to get as much as possible into this little tutorial. 25:22.690 --> 25:28.250 If you have any specific questions about what I taught in this tutorial please let me know. 25:28.270 --> 25:29.850 I'll try to answer your questions. 25:29.950 --> 25:37.360 But know that I have a full Adobe Photoshop CC course that if you're interested in it's very great it's 25:37.660 --> 25:39.550 it's I think is a great class. 25:39.550 --> 25:42.400 Anyways a lot of people think it's a great class you. 25:42.430 --> 25:43.980 It's very project based. 25:44.110 --> 25:50.740 So we're going to go over a ton more of these tools walk through things a little bit more slowly learn 25:50.770 --> 25:57.310 all kinds of cool things you can do with the layer panel more image manipulation photo retouching all 25:57.310 --> 26:00.150 kinds of stuff and you can always find that at video school. 26:00.200 --> 26:04.130 Online.com alright cool while I hope this was very helpful. 26:04.150 --> 26:08.530 Thank you so much for watching and I hope that I helped you out. 26:08.620 --> 26:10.490 Have a great day and enjoy using Photoshop.
