Bill Rosener: Well, this is Dr. Bill. Welcome back in this video you'll learn about adobe Photoshop.
Bill Rosener: Many people consider Photoshop, the World Standard in photo design and production for images used in print, multimedia and on the Web. It's embraced by millions of graphic artists, print designers, visual communicators, and regular people like you. It's loaded with stunning creative features and highly productive tools.
Bill Rosener: Open the software to find a complete package for crafting, shaping, fixing, and finalizing graphic images. The pictures you've seen in posters, book covers, magazines, etc. We're probably edited or created using Photoshop. Let's go ahead and take a look here at the interface here, and then we'll actually work with this image a little bit here. So probably probably I wanna make sure you leave here with 3, making sure you got about 3 windows that you know how to close and open. Here
Bill Rosener: over here is the tool bars, and you can see, I tell you what, even stepping back one step further. If I come up here to window.
Bill Rosener: I come to Workspace. Go ahead, and maybe try some of the other workspaces. Here.
Bill Rosener: You can see here, put them my tools in one column.
Bill Rosener: Here's pain in.
Bill Rosener: And I'm going to go ahead and try and use just the the default essentials or default.
Bill Rosener: Okay, so I've got my workspace over here my tools, and let's say, if I ever accidentally close those, then I'll come down here and hide them.
Bill Rosener: So if I ever accidentally close the tools, just come right up here to a window
Bill Rosener: and choose on tools.
Bill Rosener: and the other huge important one is over. Here is the layers window.
Bill Rosener: If I was to accidentally close that I can just come right up here to window, and I'm going to choose layers or press. F. 7.
Bill Rosener: So I've got my tools. I've accidentally closed those, and how to get those back open, and then the layers window, which is also critical. And that's up 7. And then finally,
Bill Rosener: with AI, I'm gonna press on the contextual task toolbar. If I want to get that display
Bill Rosener: and I'll tell you what. Maybe I'll leave that off just for a second here.
Bill Rosener: Okay, so we kind of got the 3 main windows, the toolbar, our layers, and then for AI,
Bill Rosener: let's go ahead and start with this image. If I take a look. Here's what we're gonna do is we're gonna take this image and convert it into this image, and probably the very 1st step I would do is come right here. Press on the assignment. 6.
Bill Rosener: Subdirectory
Bill Rosener: press on flower Jpeg, here it is to simply right, click on it and go save image as.
Bill Rosener: and just make sure you know where you save it.
Bill Rosener: Then come right back into Photoshop.
Bill Rosener: and I'm going to come up here to file open.
Bill Rosener: Mine's already open. But here it is. I just highlight the file and hit open.
Bill Rosener: Okay? So we take a look at what we're trying to do here
Bill Rosener: is that we're going to change the brightness. Contrast.
Bill Rosener: I tell you, what we could do is, let's add the text first, st
Bill Rosener: and then I'll go ahead and show you why. It's sometimes important to put change, brightness, contrast, whether in print or definitely on a website here, go ahead and type your name. So I'm gonna press on the T. Tell you what one other thing here before run moving on, moving on. Here's the zoom tool, and I can zoom out. But if I hold the shift key I mean the all key I can zoom in. So just by default
Bill Rosener: pressing on.
Bill Rosener: it's gonna zoom in.
Bill Rosener: Hold the Alt key
Bill Rosener: and it's going to zoom out.
Bill Rosener: Okay, let's go ahead and press on the T that's gonna add tax.
Bill Rosener: Make sure our font. Here's our you can toggle these colors.
Bill Rosener: We can pick new colors. We'll get into this later on. But if I press right here the black and white.
Bill Rosener: and then also need to make sure that this one is set to black. So I'm gonna come right up here.
Bill Rosener: And I'm gonna type in my 1st name.
Bill Rosener: Okay? And you can hardly see if you watch me type that you can see it. Then I'm gonna come on down here and I'll type in my last name
Bill Rosener: and go ahead and type in your 1st name and last name as well.
Bill Rosener: And then I'm going to go with rather than
Bill Rosener: either I could decrease the font.
Bill Rosener: or I'm gonna go with a mixed capital upper case letters there. So right now, if you watch me, you can see Bill and Rose there. But
Bill Rosener: if I just showed you this image, it'd be really hard to see that text.
Bill Rosener: Okay, so to to get that text more re readable, we're gonna change the brightness contrast. To do that. I need to make sure my flower is my active layer. So again, if you ever happen to close this out.
Bill Rosener: just simply press F. 7, or come up right here windows and choose layers, and here it is. I don't want to be on this layer, this layer. I want to be on the background.
Bill Rosener: I'm not going to go ahead and use the rectangle. More key up here in the top left.
Bill Rosener: I'm going to highlight the top.
Bill Rosener: I'm then going to hold the shift key. You see, a little plus sign that's going to add to the current selection, and I'm going to get the bottom right. So highlight. Use the rectangle marquee. The top left.
Bill Rosener: Hold the shift key down, grab the bottom right? Or you can actually do this twice.
Bill Rosener: I'm not gonna come right up here to image adjustments, brightness, contrast.
Bill Rosener: And I'm gonna go ahead and use the legacy.
Bill Rosener: All I'm gonna do is increase the brightness
Bill Rosener: and decrease the contrast and then press Ok.
Bill Rosener: And then I can press control. D if I ever want to deselect that.
Bill Rosener: And I was gonna look for the non keyboard shortcut. But I'm sure it's up there simple, actually here. It's gonna be right? There is deselect control. D,
Bill Rosener: okay, now, what I can do is use my move tool. Here's the move tool. I can highlight the layer which says Bill, or your 1st name
Bill Rosener: and move it.
Bill Rosener: I can then make Rosner my active layer and drag it around.
Bill Rosener: Okay, one final step here.
Bill Rosener: So we've changed the brightness contrast. We've added some text. Let's just go ahead and change that to a kind of a lighter shade. I'm gonna go ahead and use the rectangle marquee. Okay, make sure you're on the right layer. I've got 3 layers here. I've got 2 with text and one with the background. Make sure your background is your active layer. I'm gonna go ahead and highlight this.
Bill Rosener: I'm gonna come right up here to the image
Bill Rosener: adjustments.
Bill Rosener: I'm gonna choose hue, saturation.
Bill Rosener: Choose that colorize
Bill Rosener: and just slide that around a little bit, change change the hue, saturation or the lightness. I'll let you just kind of play around with that for a little bit yourself. And okay.
Bill Rosener: Okay. Finally, though, the last step would be to save this.
Bill Rosener: and if I think I believe.
Bill Rosener: yep, save your work is assignment 6. That Jpeg, when you're done, so you simply come right up here to file.
Bill Rosener: go, save a actually save as or save a copy.
Bill Rosener: I'm going to save a copy.
Bill Rosener: and we can either choose a Jpeg. Or possibly Png. I would be choosing Jpeg here.
Bill Rosener: and then, rather than flower.
Bill Rosener: we're going to call this assignment 6 dot jpeg.
Bill Rosener: And one thing to keep in mind is never
Bill Rosener: modify the extension. So what you don't want to do is come over here and go. Oh, I'm gonna change it as a Png, and it was like, it really confuses. Photoshop confuses every other app because it's gone. No, you've saved it as a Jpeg. I don't understand this extension. So what if you want to go with the Png just called assignment 6.
Bill Rosener: Here's where you change it and notice when I change it here, it automatically changes the extension.
Bill Rosener: Okay, so don't go ever changing the extension. If you want to come right down here and change the save as type. So I'm gonna save it as assignment 6
Bill Rosener: and save. And I'm just gonna hit. Okay.
Bill Rosener: One thing, maybe for moving on is all you're gonna find. All the images here are very low quality, and the main reason for doing that is, I don't want you to fill up your hard drive. USB. Drive whatever with these really massive images that take a down. Take a while to download and save etc. there.
Bill Rosener: So anyway, hopefully, in this video, you learn option, we didn't even get to AI still, AI here. So I'm gonna come up here to a window.
Bill Rosener: I'm gonna choose the contextual task bar.
Bill Rosener: And then what I'm gonna do is use a selection and let's go ahead and put a B in here.
Bill Rosener: So I'm gonna create a little area here.
Bill Rosener: and then I can come along and go
Bill Rosener: insert A B,
Bill Rosener: and I'm gonna hit that generate.
Bill Rosener: And typically, it's going to give me a 3 variations to choose from.
Bill Rosener: I can see it slowly coming in there.
Bill Rosener: Anne.
Bill Rosener: this looks kind of weird. So let me choose this one right here.
Bill Rosener: Okay? So I think that's gonna wrap the video up. So again, we've got our the main things here to leave with us. Make sure you know how to
Bill Rosener: Adjust your workspace. I've got the essentials here. Know how to get the toolbars in case you close those that's just window
Bill Rosener: and tools.
Bill Rosener: And if I accidentally close my layers.
Bill Rosener: just come up here to windows
Bill Rosener: and layers
Bill Rosener: and the contextual toolbar for AI
Bill Rosener: right there.
Bill Rosener: So those 3 windows should be the main 3 that you got going as far as finishing the assignments. But anyway, hopefully, yeah, you've got this thing finished. Make sure you save it.
Bill Rosener: I'm gonna say this as a Jpeg and then go ahead and you'll upload this at some point to your website. Thanks a lot.
