Let's talk about Welcome back. In this video, you're going to learn how to take this image and convert it into this image in particular, I'm going to show you how to make a transparent image.
Supposed to place this on a website that has a color on the background. It's going to shine through WordPress to place this into a Microsoft
PowerPoint presentation and assuming the theme or the design has a color is going to shine through around the corners. They're also going to go ahead and put a blackboard around the outside. Watch fill it all with the solid color that little circle and a little text.
When I was well that we know what wouldn't do. Let's get started. And I should probably start. I mentioned that you'll find this image in the same areas to fund a link to this video.
But the very first step. I can see here is this is a gift file, it's an index format. So I want to convert this into RGB someone come up here to Image, Mode. I'm going to choose our RGB color.
Okay, now I'm gonna go ahead and double the size of that, just so I can create this image here about twice as big here. So I'm gonna come right up here to image. I'm gonna come to image size.
And if I wanted two years maybe on pixels, rather than 210 I could put 420 but maybe an easy approach is just to change this to a 200
And notice constraint proportions is turned on so want to increase the with a high, it's going to automatically be adjusted accordingly there someone go ahead, press okay
Okay, at this point, again, I want to create that transparent image shares and that's
Designated here by this checkerboard pattern time. You see, see that checkerboard pattern. And if you say that again skipped or PNG, it's going to be transparent.
Okay, well, how do I do that I'm going to create a copy of this background because I need to have a layer below this that has no capsules on
Somebody's credit card to the background layer by simply dragging this to the Create New Layer icon. I'm not going to go ahead and turn the eye on on the background.
Now if I deleted the pixels on this layer, nothing, nothing on this bottom layer. So don't be transparent there. And that's exactly what to do next. So many years my magical on
I'm gonna go ahead and press on the white and I'm just going to press the Delete key on the keyboard. That's the Delete key. And that's going to remove all the white
There is that checkerboard pattern. So again, if I was to save this in place on a website and soon that website had some color. It would now shine through them.
Okay, now what I want to do when we get this to other shows. So my years I've been black and white. I now want to fill all of this solid car.
Well, to do that on the go ahead and I use my eyedropper and I'll just go ahead and select anywhere here and that's going to chase my
Foreground color to that light shade of blue okay right now. What a slug to dissolve the outside. What I want to do is select inside. So how am I going to do that.
I'm just going to come up here to select and choose inverse and now everything inside is selecting which sport and I can feel that just coming up here to edit and Phil and I was press OK.
You know, maybe gonna go ahead and select that they're okay, I'm going to show next. Okay, so at this point is to take a look here.
We've got a transparent. The next step is this put this black border around the outside. And I'm going to show you two ways, I think the second is going to be much easier. Let me walk you through this first approach here.
So in this case, someone highlights background copy and drag it to the Create New Layer icon. If you ever want to, you can come right up here. And we could type in border here.
Just filling out a few layers like this is no big deal. But a lot of times I'm working with images that may have 20 or more layers and it's like
And sometimes you can hardly see what's on a layer by looking at it here in a minute. You'll notice that I just have that Blackboard around the outside. So it's nice to label your layer. So okay, so what I'm going to do now is create that
black border around the outside. And again, I'm sure you two ways. So one way to do it would be to come up here to the filter.
And they can go to a stylized and I could go to find edges and notice that has found that it's there and it's the shaded tableau.
Well, soon. I want to get that black what to do that. I'm going to go ahead and use my magic wand.
I'm going to select the white. I'm not gonna hold the Shift key down and I'm going to press out here.
So I've got the white slight bit of kind of got the outside of this image selected. Now what I'm going to do is select the inverse
And I'm going to go ahead and change this to a black and I'm going to hit backspace. Let me do the non keyboard shortcut here on the come up here to edit and film and press okay
And let me go ahead and dislike that it was just let you know those march Nance was kind of hiding the select areas because it's so small here.
Okay, this top I would now use the magic wand, I would highlight the wide and delete. And again, let me go ahead and
Press up here and I'm just going to press off the image to dislike that there. So here it is. I've got the border on its own layer there. And that was again.
Going up to filter and stylized a much easier approach to create that stroke or that border is to simply right click on this layer.
So I'm going to be on this background copy on the right click on come up to blending options. I'm going to go to stroke. And let me drag this on down here.
So I press sunstroke. I'm not going to press this to the right here, a stroke, saying, See my options here.
And I can switch anyone I need possible chance to call right now I've kind of got this shade of blue here. Let me go to
Black. So if I want to get all black. I would simply enter 603123456 that's going to give me a solid block.
And now if I take a look at this. I've got that black around the outside and I can use them. I want to maybe a five cups of water. I could do that. And I can even specify does it go on the outside.
Does it go in the inside or is it kind of centered on the border and they'll go with them to pixels instead of here and press okay
Okay, so take a look here. We've got a transparent, we've got the blackboard or next step is just add a little circle and some text there.
But it had the circle. I'm just going to go ahead and press on press and hold and use the elliptical marquis, you may want to, you could freehand it your chance. You should be at normal and you could just
Create your own little circle. And as I mentioned before, if you hold the Shift key down you can constrain that to a perfect circle.
Or another way would be to come up here to a fixed size and you could go to say maybe 20 pixels and width.
And 20 pixels and Hi, I'm just going to go to the press right in here, we're kind of going to make one for an issue. So it's kind of got three campuses.
And then I'm going to simply I can see it's black. I'll come right up here to edit and oh, and I'll press OK.
And then the guy was like to dislike that some that just simply press up here to the slide. Okay. Follow last at this. I'm going to use the Type Tool and I'll simply type and issue.
It looks like I had area 24 point there. I'll use my Move Tool and move it on over here.
And if you want to use your arrow keys on the keyboard to kind of reposition that there
So, finally, the last step in this case if you want to make sure you keep that as transparent, you're going to want to save this as either a GIF file or in PNG.
Well, hopefully this video you'll learn how to get several things make an image transparent put a border or a stroke around the outside world, fill it all have a little circle and a little tax and not get to the next video. Thank you. Bye.
