Hello this is Dr. Bill, welcome back. In this video, you'll learn how to take this image and convert it into this image.
Let's assume you've got a navigation button on your website and you want to change either the caption on that navigation button or you wish to resize it.
And that's what you're gonna learn how to do this video. Let me go ahead and close this before I forget here.
So now that we know what to do. Let's go ahead and get started. And you should find this image be the gift and the same error that you found the link to this video.
Right away, one of the first things I want to do is convert this into RGB format. And the reason why is, if I take over here.
My layers icons are to say about Michael appear to layer. I can see out most of these are all grayed out. So the very first step I want to do is come up here, an image.
And since this is a gift right here. It's a beta diet gift. It's an index format. I want to come up here and go to Image, Mode and convert it to RGB format.
Now come back up here to layers. I want to see many of these options are available and then awesome over here, my layers options are available.
So the first step, I need to do is remove the word the if you want, you might want to zoom in on this, just a little bit here.
And to do that, I'm going to go ahead and use the eyedropper and wherever I click. Let me go ahead and change this to black and white wherever I click that's going to become my foreground color.
So I've kind of clicked right in here in the middle. I did not click out here because that's going to give me more of a whitish color. I'm not going to use the rectangle more key. And as I mentioned before,
If yours happens to be on some other setting right here to simply press and hold and choose the rectangle for ketone. I'm not going to highlight an area surrounding
In this case, the word beta. And I'm going to fill it. I always like to use the keyboards all backspace. But let me come up here and we'll come up here to edit and so
I'm gonna fill it with the foreground color and press OK, and I'm going to select that to be gorgeous Control D or come up here in the slip back
Okay, now I want to turn right around add some white text on the change my foreground color and a white. I'm going to press on the Type tool.
I've got area regular 24 points here. Let me go ahead and show you. This is an anti alias between none and smooth. In this case, I want to type in resume.
And at this point, you can see how it's placed it on its own layer. Since I've got this an RGB format. I'm not going to use the Move tool, don't move it over here, just a little bit and at 200% you can really begin to see
How becomes fixated at 100%. It doesn't look so bad, but here it is at 200% and what I like to do is rather than using nerd for anti aliasing. I like to go ahead and select that and I'm going to show you a smoother strolling, you may want to take a look at some of the other options here.
Okay. And as I zoom in on that we're going to find various shades of white and blue, whereas
When it was back at
None
If I was to zoom in.
Either the pixel is on or it's off. Okay.
And I love to come back here to about 200% there again and let me go ahead and highlight that and select it and come back to smooth.
Okay, now the last step here is, let's say we want to resize this image and maybe I'll even go down to 100% here.
I want to resize it, make a little bit smaller at this case, what I'm gonna do is highlight the background layer. I'm using my rectangle more keto and I'm gonna highlight just this right portion here. I'm going to copy and paste and I usually use the keyboard Control see to copy
And then I'm going to turn right around and paste and there it is control the. It doesn't look like anything happened, but if I take a look at my layers window. I've now got this right. The portion of this
navigation button on its own layer. So I can now use the Move Tool and I can slide that over here a little bit towards the left.
Now, what I can do is come right up here, use my rectangle Mark key tool highlight my new area and at this point I probably would have helped to have zoomed in a little bit there to make sure I'm getting
Correct area and then I can just come right back up here to image and go to crop and they'll be coming back here to 100%
And all these select that, actually. Soon as I look at it looks like I missed a little bit there. So I'm going to go ahead and what you can do is select it again. Or you can hit take control and
That's going to select all, and I'm just going to press the left arrow on my keyboard over one notch come right back up here, the Image and Crop now let me hit Control game and
Come back 200% there okay that's looking good. So the final step would be to save this image and you can save it as either a gift voucher or possibly as a PNG.
Let's take a look here. What did we learn this, like we took an image we changed the text and then we even cropped it puckish next video. Thank you.
