Bill Rosener: Hello, Dr. Bell, welcome back in this video you learn how to create a collage. And one of the 1st things you'll learn is that that collage does not have to be in the shape of a rectangle. It can be any shape you want.
Bill Rosener: And in my bit case here, I'm gonna be creating a clause in the shape of the State of Iowa, where you can use your own images so you can find and download images from your favorite search engine. But if you want, go ahead and press here on this assignment, 24 subdirectory, and you would download girl 1, 2, 3, 4, and Iowa. If you wanna make the collage again in the shape of Iowa. And again, you're gonna find all these images are really low quality, and that's just prevent you from up your hard drive and
Bill Rosener: etc. there, with some really large images there. So the very 1st step I want to do is I open up adobe. Photoshop. Come up here to file open.
Bill Rosener: I can see I've got the images right here
Bill Rosener: all ready to go. I can download them or open them one at a time, or I can
Bill Rosener: open slight girl one. Hold the shift key down high, light Iowa, and press open, and that's going to open all 5 images at once.
Bill Rosener: At this point. I just need to come over here to girl one.
Bill Rosener: and I could use the rectangle mark key and select it, or I could come right up here and hit the select all.
Bill Rosener: and then 1st time here, I'll use the non keyboard shortcuts. I could come up here to edit and copy.
Bill Rosener: Come over here to Iowa and choose edit and paste.
Bill Rosener: Then I'll go ahead and use the move tool and move this kind of up here in the
Bill Rosener: the top
Bill Rosener: left corner.
Bill Rosener: Okay, moving on. I'm gonna get girl 2
Bill Rosener: control A to select all control. C, the copy
Bill Rosener: control V to paste.
Bill Rosener: And I'll put that image right up here.
Bill Rosener: Repeat that with image 3,
Bill Rosener: control, a control, C
Bill Rosener: paste it.
Bill Rosener: use the move tool
Bill Rosener: and finally.
Bill Rosener: image for control, a control save
Bill Rosener: and control. B,
Bill Rosener: okay, and that's looking pretty good.
Bill Rosener: Okay? So rather than having these hard edges, what would be nice is to create more of a smooth edge.
Bill Rosener: So the kind of images kind of all feather into one another. So to do that, I'm just gonna start here with a layer one. I'm gonna go ahead and use the lasso tool. I've got feathered to 10 feel free to
Bill Rosener: increase the value there. I'm just gonna highlight that edge and delete it
Bill Rosener: and come over here and select the bottom and delete it. Kinda you can see where I'm kind of getting this smooth edge here.
Bill Rosener: And then I'm gonna repeat that with these other images here, you can actually do this all in one step.
Bill Rosener: I like to the left, and the bottom and delete whoop! Make sure you're on that layer and delete.
Bill Rosener: and I'll go ahead and make sure I'm on Layer 3 here. Kind of. Repeat that
Bill Rosener: delete
Bill Rosener: and Delete
Bill Rosener: haven't got a little too much on that one.
Bill Rosener: I can always move some of these layers around later. That's probably I have to do with that one. So now let me go ahead and make sure I'm on my layer. 4 delete that
Bill Rosener: and delete
Bill Rosener: at this point I'm gonna go ahead and highlight this layer right here and move it over just a little bit.
Bill Rosener: using the move tool.
Bill Rosener: And if you want to just use the mouse key or the arrow keys rather, and help move those. Okay, let's go ahead and get these all on.
Bill Rosener: Okay, that's not looking too bad. Maybe here I could eliminate a little bit more. So I'm gonna give my hair to
Bill Rosener: That's layer 4 in my case, and maybe I'll go ahead and
Bill Rosener: highlight a little bit more and delete
Bill Rosener: okay.
Bill Rosener: And if I wanted her face to show a little bit more.
Bill Rosener: I could go ahead and highlight up that same layer and come right over here
Bill Rosener: and delete a little bit more.
Bill Rosener: And there we go. Okay. So we've got the images in there.
Bill Rosener: Tell you what I could do a little bit here with this layer here.
Bill Rosener: that's gonna be
Bill Rosener: right here on Layer 3.
Bill Rosener: I'll add a little that
Bill Rosener: and delete it.
Bill Rosener: Okay, the last step is to create a class in the shape of Iowa. And so I've got that as my background. There, I'm gonna go ahead and turn that on now.
Bill Rosener: and I'm gonna use the magic Wand.
Bill Rosener: and I'm just going to press
Bill Rosener: oops. Make sure that it's active layer. I'm gonna go ahead and press down here, and I can see what is now selected is everything but i 1. So now I can just go through these layers
Bill Rosener: and hit Delete
Bill Rosener: go to the next layer
Bill Rosener: and press the delete key on the keyboard
Bill Rosener: layer. 3 delete and layer 4 and delete.
Bill Rosener: Yeah, I think I'm gonna call that to good. That's looking pretty good if you want to throw a drop shadow in there.
Bill Rosener: But I think this is kind of meeting requirements. Here, take a look here.
Bill Rosener: we've got a collage. We've got some images there, and we've cropped that into a shape other than a rectangle in this case in the shape of Iowa. Well, hopefully, in this video, you learn a little bit more about adobe Photoshop and
Bill Rosener: some essential graphics here, and I'll catch next video. Thanks a lot. Bye.
