join here in person we're excited to

bring it um here to you live but Tony

what are what have been some of the

updates shared here today oh well we've

seen so so much it's really

it's over like how where do we even

start right I

mean it is complete overload because

it's everything is so exciting it's

there's nothing you can look and go like

yeah you know everything's like what

what what like mind blown that emoji I

need to keep sharing that in the chat I

mean

it's I mean the main the main thing for

me out of this is everything that's been

going on in Photoshop right to be back

doing stuff with with Photoshop

Photoshop team those those things

everything they're doing at the moment

is like wow

you also great to see the stuff that's

going on in illustrator how illustrator

is really embracing generative content

in there and assistants to help you do

your stuff there's great stuff going on

in premere there great going on

everywhere Premier too we saw some of

those like sneaks that came um I know

Terry White also shared some sneaks so

it's pretty cool to see what's coming

rotoscope B like that what now I know

and I'm curious if you're in the chat if

you watch a keynote and you have initial

feedback go ahead and post it in there

um I'm looking here in the chat we have

um kolina joining in from London um

Oliver um thanks for joining in Paul um

so if you have again any questions we

are here live um from London to be able

to share that with you so Tony let's go

ahead I know I see you have Photoshop

open I do why don't we go ahead and dive

in and just see what some of these new

features are absolutely now I did just

think just before that should we just

let have a quick look at the Creative

Cloud app because you we've mentioned a

couple of times during our earlier

stream about where people can get hold

of this because this is a stuff that's

in Photoshop beta at the moment and

people often see that and think it's

just open to a small invited group of

people and that's not the case everybody

can access this and play with it side by

side with their main build of Photoshop

all time so should we just show them

that first let's go ahead and dive into

creative Club I know there were a lot of

questions too of these look amazing but

how do I access them and my app so let's

go ahead and open that up I don't know

by the way if you saw the launch time on

that just then but it was like quicker

than I could click my fingers just

unreal so if you're there if you go to

all apps from there you've got this bar

across the top and if you look for this

sort of chemistry flask that's just

there okay we have beta applications and

you can see all of the different things

currently in beta that you can access

and get to play with these features

today so they already have them they

have their Creative Cloud desktop app

play it so thought that would be

worth anyway it's Photoshop I've got no

assets on this machine I'm lying of

course got maybe a few just a few maybe

just a few but I you know they're many

my sessions s but do you know what I can

make them directly in here so yeah let's

make them we were just even saying with

a blank canvas like where do you start

so because that is the most terrifying

thing MH yeah starting that new canvas

yeah and bringing that up I'm looking

here we have Stefan uh nice to see you

Stefan and um Flynn joining in from

Australia he W hi Flyn um and of course

we have my colleague Tim in there as you

all know in love yeah and

timb so good so I'm going to start with

something here I'm just going to go for

uh 1920 by 1920 so I'm just tabbing

through the dialogue here okay and I

think just for the purposes of this one

not that it really matters but just for

now just making life easier I'm going to

go in at 150 uh PPI could do 144 but uh

let's leave everything else there as is

so here is huh what did I do there like

what are we creating a bookmarker or

something that's kind of how it was only

only it be vertical when we the uh see I

missed out one of those

limor SL slight details you know the joy

of Life yeah exactly

oh I've got the demo Gods on here by the

way the demo Gods oh you might have to

like show those up afterwards cuz we

chatted about them so much during the

during the keyot but they were very

active right there it's like uh-huh

uh-huh who yep there we

go so I've got a whole new blank canvas

the most terrifying thing that any

creative uh can think of I've got my

contextual taskbar just here okay and

you can see I've got import image so if

I want to start by bringing something

new I can do that but I've got the new

generate image here so right from the

beginning I don't have to go out to

Firefly to generate this it's right here

so easy on my screen absolutely and I

know there were some questions too in

the chat about where do these images

come from um so can you talk a little

bit about like how the Firefly model is

trained y absolutely so unlike other

models that are out there at the moment

that have scraped content without user

permission they basically just send Bots

out to just bring back content Adobe

stock is not like that so Adobe stock is

based on sorry Adobe stock Firefly is

based on Adobe stock content okay and

also on public domain images from

curated libraries okay so it's not just

random stuff that's tagged as for public

domain it's from curated libraries that

exist so that's a really big deal and

the main thing is because it makes it

commercially stable yeah you can use it

commercially and everything that's in

there yeah has been responsibly sourced

the creators are getting paid if their

stuck content is in there it generates a

credit for them I mean it's a it's a sub

one penny thing to start off with

because it's a small part of what it's

doing yeah but that builds up over time

if you've got popular content that's

coming in and at least it's not just

like cheers taking your images thanks

very much right bye bye no of course not

and it's and it's if you have actually

uploaded your content into Adobe stock

so it's not taken from any other sources

it's with you know permissions that

adobe has for sure but to to be able to

use it commercially big deal real big

deal because if youve got stuff that

you're creating things like mid journey

and Dolly and

stability well people are publishing

them but that's a sort of a lead

Melting Pot just at the moment and they

run the who what brand wants to buy

content from a creator that may get them

sued absolutely who wants to do that

it's it's terrifying is it is you know

it's you know one of my friends is a

pretty it's very eminent in the G is a

lawyer in the he's also a photographer

actually hi Nick by the way if you're

watching he uh he this is his day today

at the moment he talking about this and

about different developments that occur

in that area and stock he doesn't have

anything negative to say about an OB

stock because it's you know it's

ethically driven which is a big deal

absolutely and I there I know there were

questions at the community event

yesterday if you are creating something

for a client and you use Firefly it is

completely commercially safe to use so

that's that's huge yeah and it kind of

has to be that way because the thing

that has to happen is that the the the

people who are providing this content

are adobe's customers absolutely you

can't do anything to damage your

customer base in that way so it's got to

be truly collaborative in order for that

work and making sure that we're

acknowledging artists too and that

they're being compensated for their work

and recognized so I know that's for

really important it is very very

important so another question that we uh

that occurred a couple of times this

morning is you know how do you learn

more I think you asked me how do you

learn more about prompting well actually

I can have a look at that yeah right

here right now because on the uh right

hand side here so this is the generate

image St here we're going to dive right

into this and have a good look inside

we're also going to have a little bit of

cheeky fun with it I've got to be it

wouldn't be me of course but that's

about you know once you start generating

in Firefly it's you know you can keep

going and keep going amazing where you

end up and you get you get a thousand

credits A Creative Cloud subscribers get

a th000 credits a month if they find

themselves ripping through that then

they can buy additional credits yeah

th000 credits is that's a lot it's quite

a lot yeah yeah so so any of these

images here you can scroll down through

this list which seems to get longer and

longer and longer every time my gosh but

there's tons of stuff all you need to do

if you like the look of something here

and you think I wonder what prompts was

used to generate that so I like

butterflies uh so I'm going to click

here now there you go it populates the

prompt area okay with that prompt I

don't know if I can screen zoom on here

it looks like I actually can okay and

I'm just looking to Holly to just see if

we all looks good and she seems to think

it's okay look so super close up ma

photography of a multicolor butterfly

walking along a leaf surrounded by

foliage and I'm only doing that because

some people were going to be watching

this stream on phones I just want them

to be able to see the content that I'm

seeing as well it's got absolutely

nothing to do with me being older than

most

trees but anyway so we' got that and at

the moment it's a photo so I'm going to

come back to this in a moment but for

now let's just go ahead and hit generate

so it's not going to give us the same

image it's going to give us a whole new

generation but a similar those

properties what get have fun going with

those then you can start to swap out so

I'll swap out some things as we do this

I want to just give a shout out to Lucy

Street the Evangelist and the express

team she'll be on a to be live later

today with Will and she opened me up to

A Whole New World of Fun in Barcelona

okay we were all there it's great that

we were all there together I know it

feels again like a year ago it was two

weeks ago I mean some of us have been

sitting around in the sun having like a

lovely time walking 100 kilometers

but you know but here we go there we go

so we've got our generation now not only

we got the single generator we've course

got three variant just there we can see

them in a couple of places right or we

can see them in one place in particular

in the properties panel it's going to

collapse my color panel here so you can

see more of the properties panel see my

variations there I could also cycle

through the variations here in the

contextual taskbar okay so you can see

here I'm at one of three just there so

if I click for the next one it populates

that with the next one if I click again

yeah it populates that like so and I

like the variations too like you have a

lot to choose from it looks very

realistic um yeah really beautiful so

one of the things I can do here and I'm

actually going to zoom on this section

again just here still looking to Holly

to make sure that she's good with that

Holly's lovely and she's giving me big

smiles now the last B thumbs up yeah

that's cool tone you can do

that I want I didn't get a thumbs up

though Holly there we go double thumbs

up okay we have our whole Tech Team here

so if you're watching on the phone

hopefully I've made it slightly easier

as you see so super closeup macro

photography of a multicolor butterfly

walking on Leaf surrounded by foliage

now I don't think I really need it right

but what I'm going to do here is add in

a couple of things so I'm going to do uh

Ultra HD typing uh live never my

strength I've got to be honest I'm just

going to pop in a comma there and 4K

let's see what we get there so we'll try

and see what the modifier is just now

also I do have additional controls here

in the thumbnails such as generate

similar so if there's one I like that's

sort of most of the way there but not

the whole way there then I've got that

and also remove background which we are

going to do uh in a little bit but not

right for now so I've just changed that

one parameter here and so I'm going to

go ahead and click that one one

parameter that one part of the front

it's sounding all technical then I I

actually know what I'm doing

crazy it's calculating yeah doing it and

I know if you're in Firefly web too

there's also the community tab which has

the same thing where you can see all the

different prompts and what people have

created it's a great way to explore and

learn yeah great way to do it all right

so let's have a look at so let's click

through some of these just these first

three start and I think what I'm going

to do is I'm going to leave that one

just there and then I'm going to go to

the earlier version yeah so there is a

noticeable difference there between

those two things just look at that

background again and now switch back to

this one subtle yeah subtle but still

you see the new one there is a

difference yeah okay so let's swap this

out now so at the moment if I go back to

the prompts panel so here we get it in a

slightly different uh place here right

we get the content type just here so

this is set as a photo I don't want it

to be a photo anymore cuz you know it's

photo I want it to be

art now let's just leave it at art just

for a moment here it's being populated

with cinematic to start off with there's

all of these different variations we can

dive right into these uh straight after

we've got a lot to explore I always love

the which one is it the paper we if we

oh look layer paper yeah we're going to

do lay paper perfect weay paper it's my

new fight it's so yeah it's so cool to

see it it looks so

realistic just unreal I think there is

actually one in we actually we'll try

again in the default promp box we'll

just see I'm pretty

sure there's there's a there's a thing

there so okay so let's just do something

here let's get that out come

on you as this is loading um again we're

going to look in the live chat here on

YouTube and Vance um we have let's see

Joey is joining the design ninj back hey

Tony cheers from

Switzerland um and then um some

questions about the number of legs on

the uh on the butterfly yeah it do that

does appear to be just four yeah four

yeah or five there are some should there

be six right there should be six yeah

six maybe we have to be specific on how

many legs we want we've got some art

just there how long have we got left I

think we haven't got too long left yeah

we've got about 10 minutes or so so

we're good have there timer right here

yeah oh this is my my warning telling me

that I have to be somewhere else in just

two minutes but look at that we're

getting paintings very super super super

quickly and I I don't mind taking the

flat for it right we've got all these

things here so papy and mashy let's try

that layered paper does exist in here

and also this one yarn what would it

look like if it was made out of wool in

fact you know what I'm going to skip

layered paper I'm just fory I'm going

full on yarn so I want to see what my

yarn butterfly is

there I've got I've got a floor manager

who's tapping his watch just the side of

me and the Assistant floor manager who's

looking at me with if we we're going to

take a picture we're going to take a

picture after this in front of us we

have thousands of people and also all of

these different boobs so

it's sensory overload Tonia plus Firefly

I mean how are we doing it got now I'm

getting a red one minute

warning I'm get you L i' got to be

honest the team that are down here

working it's like the people who never

get any recognition for what they do

they are the absolute best thank you and

there you go there's my butterfly now

made out of wool oh let's pull we can

pull that up oh so beautiful and it's

like so realistic too just especially

that last one if you click back to that

last one the background look it you see

everyone and welcome to Adobe live I'm

so excited to be here with the famous

Annie Atkins my name is Anna and I will

be the host today Annie welcome how are

you doing I'm good yeah thank you for

having a chat today of course I'm just

I'm so excited to be here with you

because your keynote was incredible you

blew us all away your work is amazing if

you don't know Annie you have to go

check her out and I would love for you

to give our audience a little intro

about yourself yes so I make graphic

design for film making which is all the

kind of things that you see in the movie

that are made out of paper basically so

anything with graphic design on it

anything with lettering or a pattern or

a logo on it has to be made by the

graphic design team yeah yeah that's

amazing okay so I have a couple of

questions here for you let me just bring

them up um so tell me about how you

actually got started with this I know we

all have some crazy stories through our

journey so yeah I mean I started off uh

a long time ago now I suppose 20 years

ago I graduated um I was working in an

ad agency uh and I really wasn't very

good at graphic design for advertising

of course I know now that you're not

supposed to be when you're young like

you know you don't you you don't just

like graduate from from college and

suddenly you're like you know a a fully

bonafied graphic designer um you have to

get good at design through practice uh

but I was very maybe I was a little

Hasty but I decided to just leave design

behind me completely and I went to study

film making instead thinking that I

would be the director I suppose wow um

and then of course in F school it all

changed and this whole new world of

design was opened up to me design up

world making and then I fell in love

with design again just a different kind

of design you know and then with

practice started to get a little bit

better yes that's amazing all right so

we have a lot of people hopping into the

chat here welcome everyone who is here I

also want to let you know that if you

have any questions for Annie please drop

those into the chat so I can share them

with her and uh yeah so so um what is it

like working with actors when you're

doing all of this this work yeah so so

in the graphic design Department I

probably the only time I would ever work

with with an actor is if I have to um

teach them how to use a feather quill or

a dipping pen um you know because

sometimes an actor has to do their own

calligraphy in shocks right um now the

first time I ever had to do that was

probably on the tuders which was the

first TV show I ever worked on and Henry

cavl was playing one of the

king's best friends and had to sign a

document in shots and he had to use a

feather quill on set to do it I had to

show him how to use it unfortunately I

only just started the job at that point

and I didn't know how to use it myself

um but I I blagged it and we figured it

out together um but it's probably it's

probably the only time that I that I

ever worked directly with an actor wow

and how long did it take you to learn

how to use the qu oh there a lot of

trial and error on that show yeah we we

hired real calligraphers to come in and

work with this quite a lot as well um um

I kind I've kind of mastered it now but

like this is like 20 15 years later you

know wow that's amazing so um when you

are on set like what's one of the most

exciting parts of your job would you

say um most exciting I I would say I

think like walking onto a set that

you've designed set graphics for so

there's like prop Graphics which are the

things the actors handle and then set

Graphics would be the things that are

actually built up into the set like

stained glass um cast iron signage

Billboards that kind of thing like a

street seene yeah like if you walk onto

a street scene like a fake Street full

of like fake shop fronts and it's all

got like your signage and your

advertising boards on it I love that

moment and I love it when the cast and

the crew arrive on set in the morning

and they're like wow we're really in

this like totally other world like now

we're in Victorian London or whatever it

is I love seeing it all together yeah

that's amazing and it must feel really

good for you too to see your hard work

paying off and to all come together in

that scene and are people coming up to

you talking about it or does it kind of

step behind the the curtain sometimes

people will say something like I

remember when we did Grand buest Hotel

there were a couple of actors on that

show who came up to us in the graphics

department and say like we really love

the fake passport you made us or

whatever it was you know uh so sometimes

they do and that's nice yeah that's so

cool so tell me actually about working

on Grand Budapest Hotel I mean that's

that's so cool that you worked with Wes

Anderson and like amazing pops of color

and story that must be so fun I it was

really fun I mean it's a film that I

hold very close to my heart I suppose um

it was the it was the first big feature

film I did like I had done a feature

before that but it was animated so a

slightly different working process um

and then I did Grand Bast and you know

at that point

i' done a lot of periods TV shows i'

done a lot of costume drama um and I

mean this is like 10 years ago and at

that point in time a lot of period drama

had a kind of seia look to it you know

like everything was just slightly Brown

you know because it was all said in the

olden days you know and I think Wes

Anderson really changed that with grber

the pest yes you know he put so much

color into that 1930s movie and I think

a lot of Productions after that followed

s they started putting color into their

period TV because of course there was

color in the olden days right right we

just we just think of it as like black

and white um but like now like anything

you any kind of period show you watch on

Netflix it's often got a lot of color in

it and I think that's really lovely

that's really cool and did you feel like

you had to shift your style a little bit

or cuz I've seen some of your work and

it tends to have like more muted tones

and some stuff yeah I think I think do

you feel like it fit in okay you have to

design to the style of the show right um

so I try to be more of a chameleon with

my style I try not to have a style um I

like that I try not to have a style you

know most artists don't say that so

that's yeah it's the other way around in

film really you can't really bring your

style to something you have to work to

the to the right period that's so cool

that's awesome so what what do you think

is next for you like do you have any

future plans do you maybe you can share

some maybe you can't share other where

where do you want to go from here um I'm

working on a movie at the moment but I

probably can't say what it is cuz I

don't think it's been announced yet uh

they're based in New York and I'm uh

doing some bits remotely for them um

what can I say that's coming up well I'm

publishing a children's book this year

okay tell me about that so that uh oh

God that also hasn't been announced um

it's just going to print this week so I

think we're going to announce it in the

next couple of weeks um so I won't say

any more than that but that's a

children's book um share anything about

the process or um well it was quite

similar how you got into it it was quite

similar to the way that I work for film

because I was designing in character

really um which is what I do with a lot

of props that I make in film and it's my

favorite part of the job it's like when

you're not designing as a designer but

you have to step into the shoes of the

character that you're designing the

pieces for yeah I did that with the book

as well okay that's amazing all right

I'm just looking through the chat here

to see if there's any questions for you

don't forget everyone please submit your

questions for Annie um someone said

Annie had worked with the MC Ericson

before she made the switch to film and

film and series yes it was ma Erics in

rikic in Iceland okay oh I love Iceland

yeah it was a great experience you know

but it that's the agency right yeah that

was an N agency um at the turn of the

Millennium like early

2000s um and I mean I suppose like

because it was in rikic they had had a

very Scandinavian approach to design

right like very very beautiful

minimalistic you know um very much

digital everything was done digitally

yeah and I was from a background where I

suppose like I I I had a much more

tactile approach to things because my

mom and dad were both artists my mom was

a painter um my dad was a graphic

designer but he was also like a Potter

and a film photographer you know so so

we had quite a textile approach to

design that just did not fit into that

Scandinavian crisp clean look and I

think that's why I thought I was not

good at design because I just couldn't

seem to nail that that that that Nordic

look um and I I I probably could have

done with practice you know um but I did

find that when I moved to film making

the tactil of the prop making you know

having to make old paper uh tea staining

paper you know like you did when you

were kid when you make that was so much

fun yeah

a lot of what you do in film for those

kind of hand CRS for like the oldie uh

TV shows a lot of it I I was taking from

my childhood you know like I was like oh

yeah like we would burn the edges of a

pirate map you know awesome um so that

was really fun and I definitely just I I

was just naturally a bit better at it

than I was at the Ad Agency work that's

amazing and I love that you're pulling

from your childhood sounds like art runs

in your family so you're able to bring

this all together and bring It full

circle that's really cool EXA all right

so I want to hear what your like best

moments have been working in film and

your worst

moments

um oh I mean I think I I think the worst

thing about film is it's I mean it's

full on like it's a it's a long working

day anyway like art departments start at

8:00 a.m. sometimes 7:30 a. and they go

through till 7:00 p.m. usually um and

that's just a normal working day but

within that day you have to create such

a huge volume of work including all your

research and like designing the pieces

and then making the pieces and then like

deing with all the challenges that are

radioed up from the set and dealing with

suppliers like it's a lot um and you

know when I talk about it at an event

like this I'm really just showing like

the best fits and little things and the

interesting stories and the best work

and the Beautiful chocolate

box and the the day like a typical day

in film does not look like

that um so for that reason I don't know

that I'll do this forever yes you know

like I mean I teach sounds pretty taxing

it's pretty taxing and there are other

things that I want to do where you have

more time to focus on design um I teach

a lot of Workshop students and I do feel

very much like you know this is this is

going to be over to you guys now you

know like I'm I've got some other things

that are on the back burner that I want

to get into um so that's the that's the

worst part of film for me it's just it's

just like totally

consuming um quite

stressful

and most of the time you're making

things that are never going to be seen

right right that's the worst part the

best part of working film is the

excitement of it like even though it's

stressful it's also thrilling yep and it

doesn't stop being thrilling like you

don't you don't get used to like seeing

Tom Hanks in the canteen eating his

chips and beans you know it's amazing

it's it's it's always exciting and even

just like the the building of the sets

and all the stage hands carrying things

around and the momentum of it all um it

is a really exciting working environment

that is so so cool I mean I I can

imagine it must be amazing to see these

actors and to see your work involved and

then just to be on set in general

getting to see the behind the scenes so

I want to go back to something you said

uh with the worst part so are you you

said you're getting there early in the

morning you're working all day you're

actually creating this stuff like live

while you're there or is some of it like

everything is done in the moment or

something's kind of like pre-made and

put together no sorry everything is

pre-made so so you work a few a few

weeks ahead of the shooting schedule

right okay so you go into work you work

in the art Department which is usually

an office near the set um and you're

working a few weeks ahead hopefully I

mean sometimes we're a few days ahead

sometimes it's a few hours

but try to do a few weeks ahead um so

that everybody has everything in good

time but there's always calls from sess

about something that needs fixing you

have to come there and then change it

something needs to be given a little bit

of help too yeah so you have to be you

have to kind of deal with that stuff

while you're still making all the other

stuff yeah wow okay yeah I can see how

that could be the worst part of the job

and a little bit high stress right um

okay so let's see we have uh Kei saying

um wouldn't say invented rather

discovered it was centuries ago but I

did not say bleach oh they're talking

about dying paper chlorine actually

makes pulp more Brown

interesting yeah so so what's the so

people are talking about how to make

paper look all yes I think so I think

that's the chat we're having here yes

when was bleach invented we got chemical

whitening of

paper yeah I think that there's

different ways to age paper and like tea

staining is probably my favorite way but

you do have to be a little bit easy on

it okay like like like staining the age

on something the patina I think that's

really just the finishing touch right I

mean I remember the one of the first

jobs I went for an interview on um I had

all these tea stained old posters in my

portfolio and I remember just as I was

opening my portfolio up the production

designer who was about to interview me

said now what I don't want to see is a

load of T stain on posters no and I was

like oh and so what ended up happening

with that I didn't get the job

no it was for a BBC drama uh uh set in

like the 17th century or something um

but uh so so so now I'm a bit lighter

lighter on the touch with the the old T

staining but but but I I do think uh I

do still use it um but I also try and

experiment with other materials right so

like in my studio sometimes you know

we'll we'll rub paper with butter and

then we'll wash the butter back out with

like washing up liquids you know um just

to try and get different textures on

papers make them look you know somehow

like you know not the make make them

look like they've been sitting in a damp

attic for 40 years

yes whatever whatever's required by the

movie script that's so cool it's

something you never think about you know

for us as just viewers every day when we

watch movies we're not wondering oh how

was that paper made nor recognizing how

much time and effort goes into making it

look correct yeah yeah yeah I think this

actually leads perfectly into the

question here that was asked by Jurgen

Allen how do you see the world of AI

integrating with props and art and film

oh don't ask me about AI I know I know

no one wants to me as AI but we're all

here for AI in a little bit of a way so

okay this is my thoughts on AI right um

first of all I'm still telling my

workshop students not to immediately use

Photoshop right so start with the real

tactile things and then we'll bring it

into photosop you know so AI for me is

really a big jump like I'm sure it's

infinitely useful uh what I hope that

it's going to do for me is do all the

things that I don't want to do yes right

yes I'll give you an example one

actually this is the worst part of the

craft is being asked to make a fake

family photo from the olden days using

pictures of the cast right man have to

like cut some famous actor's head out

and stick it onto an old photo and you

know usually we're always trying to do

this in Photoshop and it's never quite

right if AI can do that for me I'm happy

you know that's such a good point cuz I

never want to do

because you do one of those family phos

everybody on the cre will have an

opinion about it it'll never be good

enough so yeah I I would love to see an

experiment with AI to do that if

somebody could do that demo yeah yeah

let's hear it if anybody wants to do

that demo you have a fan right

here so I mean that's so true and I

think it brings us back to doing a lot

of things analog in an analog way and

then bringing it into your work and not

always relying on AI and that's

something that we that I myself continue

to push in my own work I think as at

Adobe we're trying to remind people you

know it's a tool let it do the things

that you don't want to spend time on

like replacing heads for actors in their

family portraits yeah exactly you know

and and I like to incorporate it into my

work that way as well like I am so you

already incorporating it yes so I am a a

painter traditional artist and then also

do a lot of Photoshop compositing okay

um and so I'm using it in a way where I

can speed up things like I showed today

uh in my keynote was ways where I'm like

I don't want to gener or I don't want to

create a whole water scene or something

or I don't want to blend This Together

which I do love doing that but or you

know if I want to remove a crowd of

people or something those kind of things

that are kind of a pain to do or even

just like setting up a scene to uh test

out an idea you know and maybe in your

case like you're storyboarding and

you're putting pieces of AI together to

show someone a concept that's in your

head and then you actually create it and

I think that's a great use for AI and

film or for anyone out there you know

using it using it in a way to help speed

up the early stage of your workflow when

you're like I have all these ideas and I

can't get them to look right on paper

okay yeah okay I will give it a go yeah

yeah I love that

yeah um somewhere down the line I will

yeah yeah oh Oliver says AI can do the

tea staining yeah there you go yeah

let's Let It Go all right so we have

about four minutes left if anybody has

any other questions and Annie is there

anything else that you want to share

with us any more fun stories that we

didn't touch on

um I don't know a fun story

um um or terrible story what's like what

have you ever had any sort of tragedy

with your work say you finished a big

project for set your or for the film and

then uh it tears or someone spills on it

or you lose the files or yeah I mean

there is a lot of that stuff like

putting out little fires that happens I

mean one one way around that stuff is is

is that we always make more multiple

copies of Any Given piece okay so we

don't make we we don't just make one old

telegram we make 20 identical telegrams

um and we send them down to set because

then if somebody does spill coffee it

doesn't matter that's perfect um so so

we avoid continuity issues like that as

well um but you know things unexpected

things can happen I remember when we

were on Grand past uh we made a little

notebook for Ray find's character Ray

findes was playing very particular kind

of person you know he was a real

perfectionist his character grest the

hotel's concierge um and when uh the

actor saw the notebook that we'd made in

his costume fitting he was is um saying

that it should have lines in it and we

had given him blank pages because his

character would never have written on

blank pages he would have written on a

line um so we got radioed up to the art

Department we quickly made it again you

know printed it all out stitched it all

together sent it back down to the

costume fitting and then he was totally

happy with it and I remember after the

movie was released and I was doing some

magazine interviews I used that as an

example because I thought that was quite

a good example of the level of detail we

go into right because like the camera

was never going to see inside that

notebook yeah right it it was for the

actor and a lot of the things we do are

really just for the actor and the

director um but I think when I started

telling that story I think some of the

magazines that I was talking to felt

that I was saying that Rines was a diva

oh so I stopped telling the story

because that's absolutely not what I was

saying at all you know it's it's it's

all of our jobs in film to make sure

that the the props are right for the

characters and sometimes that would be

the actors getting involved as well you

know oh I love that and it's totally

fine that's amazing oh well you have

such an incredible story an incredible

career that you put together and we're

so grateful to have you here on Adobe

live thank you everyone for watching I'm

sorry we didn't get to some of your

questions Annie you'll have to answer

them offline I know you have a domestica

course people can find you on Instagram

as well right Annie Atkins is that okay

well thank you so much for being here

with us and thank you everyone for

watching it has been a pleasure have a

great rest of your day and take care bye

welcome back to Adobe live we are so

excited to be here with you today

streaming live from Adobe Max London if

you're just joining in from YouTube or

behance go ahead and post in the chat

where you're joining us from um for

those who I haven't met I am Clara Galan

I work on the Adobe live and Community

team and I'm very excited to be joined

here today by DEA subani who's on our

senior leadership team at Adobe so

thanks so much for joining us oh my gosh

I wouldn't miss this it's such a great

event how has it been so far like I know

the keot we just wrapped up and yeah

it's been amazing the keyote was very

fun haven't been on a Max keynote stage

in over a decade I think um and yeah

there was just so much news to share you

know we launched Firefly image model 3

we brought it into Photoshop all of

these new workflows talked about

illustrator snuck some future stuff

around illustrator exactly uh future

things coming to Lightroom um so it

really great great energy great crowd I

mean it's just the whole UK Community

has been really excited to learn more I

I'm having a blast oh it's really

exciting and the energy here too I was

just on our previous stream we see

thousands of people that are out here so

many different Community activations um

so tell us a little bit more about your

your role at Adobe and what you're

focused on yeah so I run all of product

marketing I'm vice president of product

marketing for Creative Cloud um which

means uh a number of our creative

categories come into me and my team um

so we cover imaging video photography 3D

Firefly and generative AI Pro Design I

think that's it sometimes I miss a

category but um you know really my my

team we're focusing on all of the

marketing for all of these categories so

working really closely with the product

teams to understand their road map um

and what all great Innovation is coming

down the line and and marketing that to

the world and being very engaged with

the community and getting that kind of

like virtuous cycle of feedback going

between between the product teams and

the community and our teams um so it's

really it's one of the best jobs um I

really enjoy it we get to spend a ton of

time with customers which is what I

enjoy the most and yeah yeah it's really

exciting to see the community here and

and that feedback that you mentioned and

even those who who can't join too if

you're on Adobe live and you are virtual

um we be answering any questions that

you have and being part of that product

feedback loop um and I know you shared

some really exciting um announcements in

the Keynotes so we had a watch party

here on Adobe live ohun um but what were

some of the things that you were most

excited about um that you just shared in

the Keynotes I mean everything we shared

around Photoshop I am so excited by and

cannot wait to see how the Photoshop

Community you know uses these features

and give us uh feedback so just to recap

um we announced a new beta Photoshop

today that brings to life a bunch of new

generative workflows so about a little

less than a year ago we initially

debuted generative fill and generative

expand in Photoshop and like

game-changing features so those are

features powered by the Firefly image

model that allow you to like really

change your images add things and adjust

things in this really transformative way

and the reception has been amazing um

just seeing what people are creating

with it the kind of use cases like

people using generative fill to uh touch

up old family photos to create funny

memes you know real amazing photography

and all sorts of like design use cases

so that's been awesome and that's been

the journey we've been on over the last

year and then with this beta that we

just announced we literally went from

two generative workloads in Photoshop to

well over five so I can just maybe

unpack them a little bit we introduced

something called generate image which is

a firly powered workflow which is

basically text to image in Photoshop so

now I mean photoshop's always been used

for ideation but now with the power of

firefly you can create images directly

in Photoshop and then go on to like

adjust and change those with the power

of Photoshop around you and so really

anyone who kind of O opens Photoshop and

maybe is like met with that kind of

blank canvas can now really ideate

quickly just by writing a text prompt

with generate image um so that's really

exciting I can't wait to see what people

do with generate image we also in in in

bringing image model 3 which is our new

Firefly image model into Photoshop we we

are completely transforming and giving a

massive boost to generative fill and

generative expand so image model 3

brings great quality improvement detail

around like uh fine details and straight

lines and structure and just it looks

amazing and so that's now powering

generative fill and generative uh expand

and then we brought more features to

control something like reference image

which we showed in the keynote where you

can basically upload a reference image

and say hey generate with this content

in mind or generate with this style in

mind so super powerful features now um

in Photoshop and then even outside of

the generative workflows that we have in

Photoshop a ton of new other Innovations

so you know Terry showed the new font

panel so you now have access directly to

25,000 Adobe fonts within Photoshop the

audience clearly love that um improved

AI masking this new lens blur capability

so outside of just the generative

workflows there's fundamental core

enhancements and features coming from

the community that are in this new

release of Photoshop it's so exciting

and the possibilities are endless um in

terms of creation and like you said when

you start with the blank canvas

sometimes it's a bit daunting um to be

able to start and um I know there are a

lot of creatives that have been on Adobe

live that talk about how they use um

generative bill um being able to

generate specific images um but

sometimes there's a bit of hesitancy of

AI in general for that final product um

so what would you say to creatives who

maybe haven't used generative AI for the

first time um how could this be a part

of the creative process instead of the

end result totally great question I mean

look it's this massive Shi shift that's

happening in the world and and in

technology and definitely in the

creative space and you know generative

AI is here to stay like that Genie is

not going back in the bottle um and what

I really love is the approach that we're

following at Adobe so we're really to us

the power of generative AI is in no way

trying to replace the creative process

or the Creator themselves but it's

really to boost existing creative

workflows and and take some of the TDM

and the mundane tasks that you have to

do day in and day out and make it easier

through the power of generative AI

honestly so you can create more like we

don't want to get in the way of creation

we want to help support better and

faster and more expressive creation

through the power of gen and so that's

why you know the workflows that we're

thinking about are really around how can

we help you create more efficiently

create more fter within the applications

that you know Andes so we've brought

Firefly power generative workflows into

Photoshop into illustrator we just

shared two weeks ago that we're going to

bring generative workflows into Premiere

Pro to really help pro video editors um

kind of supercharge their productivity

so so that's really our approach and and

it's been really well received by the

community yeah absolutely and I'm going

to look in the chat here too to see if

there's any questions on that um so we

have um Sylvia joining us Jane joining

us welcome Oliver thanks for sticking

with us and joining in um looking over

here to YouTube um if you have any

questions I hear we got a couple um

requests for some of the stickers we had

at the community Booth yeah um so we'll

go ahead and share those in there um and

then pulling up the last one on our

Creative Cloud YouTube we have a Jonas

from Brazil welcome um San who's joining

us from India uh Ray from London um and

a lot of other folks so thanks again for

joining us um and then some ex more

excitement around uh around Firefly so

in that sense um you know in particular

with video I know there were some like

really exciting videos and Saks that

were shared yeah um in we had a stream

last week in Munich talking about

enhanced um speech and removing

background noise and there was a lot of

excitement from the community and that

but can you talk about some of the other

New pieces that are coming to St first

off I just have to say enhance speech

has been like a darling right we baited

it I think in January and you can really

clean up um your audio through this sort

of AI assisted uh feature within

Premiere Pro um you know enhanced speech

actually uh came from our podcast

technology which is also a really

awesome product um so yeah that that's

been really exciting to see but um in

the past two weeks what we shared um was

a little bit of what we shared in the

keynote today which is uh we are working

on a video model for fireflies we're

working on a firefly video model that we

want to bring to Market this year we're

taking the same approach with our video

model as we have with all of our

foundational Firefly models um

developing the model to be commercially

safe and what we also shared um last

week was that we're building our Firefly

video model to to power at the start

three new generative workflows within

Premiere Pro something called object ad

which is the ability to add video to an

existing clip object remove which is the

ability to remove something from a video

clip and generative extend the ability

to sort of EXT end a video clip and so

we shared a video actually maybe we can

put it in the chat um it's easy to find

it's on social media we shared it today

at the keynote um showing the real

Firefly video model in action adding

things to video removing things to video

and extending the clip and so that's

been uh you know met with so much

excitement I was just at the NAB Show in

Las Vegas last week which is the

National Association of broadcasters

it's massive video pro video editor kind

of like trade event and the reception to

these workflows has been really exciting

I think people really understand oh you

know I need to add or remove things

especially remove you leave a boom mic

in your shot you leave a coffee cup in

your shot like that those are really

common things what surprised me the most

was generative extend oh my gosh every

video editor I talked to was so excited

about that cuz you know it's really

painful when you're filming and you you

kind of like you know don't have the

shot so a lot of times you want to hang

on to an extra clip just for or an an

extra beat in a video clip to add some

emotional heft or syn up to the

soundtrack and when you don't have that

shot it's really painful so a generative

extend now you can sort of extend your

video we also shared last week um that

we're looking to bring thirdparty models

into our applications so into Premiere

into photo shop um our Flagship

applications so that's really exciting

we've heard from our customers they

really want choice they love the Firefly

video model or Firefly models excuse me

and that they're commercially safe but

you know there's a lot of models out

there and some are really great at

certain things and we believe in a world

and think it's the best for creativity

to just have more Choice have more

models um so we shared kind of an early

exploration of what it could look like

to have say open AI Sora model or

runways video model or P's video model

in Premiere powering some of those video

workflows so that's also been met really

uh well um by the community and we

really just want feedback you know we

shared the news last week to kind of

start that dialogue or continue that

dialogue I should say with the community

um and so yeah it's really exciting to

hear the community feedback too and if

you've seen that video I know my

colleague Tim is in the chat if you

could just post that link um we'd love

to hear your feedback how you're going

to use it too um I know we've already

seen a lot of excitement at shows like

NAB like you mentioned um and making

sure we're incorporating that feedback

um and speaking of which I know that

adobe is really closely connected to the

community we have a community team and a

booth that we're looking at right now

with the community artwork um can you

talk a little bit about the product

development process at Adobe and how we

incorporate creatives uh feedback yeah

um it's always been a core part of our

development process uh working with the

community to get feedback well before we

even start building things but

definitely during the product

development life cycle um sharing things

early with the community to get that

feedback understand what's working

what's not working what are the

enhancements and the feature requests

and responding to that so all of our

applications have a pre-release program

that you can join uh private betas and

really what we also do that's really

kind of gone to the next level over the

last like uh year with firefly is Big

open public betas so even when we

debuted Firefly last March our first

image model it was a massive public beta

it was like look here this is what we're

we're doing we want your feedback use

this model um and and and help us make

it better you know and so again it was

so exciting to see what people were

creating with firefly things that we

hadn't even thought about before and the

feedback really hardened the the the the

Innovation and and matured it and so

even now we you know Firefly image 3

model and Photoshop they're released as

betas and so I encourage everyone to go

check it out go to firefly.com play with

image 3 Model go get the Photoshop beta

download it and use it because um it's

not just about what what we're saying we

want people to create with it we want to

see what what you're they're actually

Crea with it and the kind of feedback

they have what's working what's not

working the good the bad the ugly like

you know just share it back with all of

us cuz it's really about again maturing

and improving that core technology to

make it really great and make sure it's

meeting our customers needs yeah

absolutely and I love how adobi is such

creative Centric too especially with the

um development of firefly making sure

we're part of the content authenticity

initiative creatives are getting

recognized for that their work and I

know just being on the community team um

we've done a lot of are these briefings

for a lot of you who are tuning in um to

get kind of a sneak peek under NDA oh

yeah those have been so valuable I I

love getting the early feedback from the

community on sort of things that we're

thinking about and really need their

help to to form better and to and to

make it better so yeah absolutely that

that's been such a boost to our our

development cycle yeah absolutely and I

see in Discord too the that huge Firefly

community so if you're not already in

that Discord Channel um we'll post that

in the chat so be sure to join our

Firefly Discord we have it available in

many different languages too so people

can check that out um but thinking about

moving forward with Adobe um it seems

like the last year I've been at Adobe a

couple years and the last year's been so

exciting so many different product

releases um what's coming next like what

are some what we can share at least yeah

yeah I know we did sneak a lot fireflies

coming to Lightroom which is very

exciting the Next Generation Vector

model to illustrator and powering

something called Vector fill and Vector

expand which I think is going to just be

this huge unlock for anyone working in

illustrator whether you're a graphic

designer or an illustrator you're making

logos or icons it's going to be amazing

so those are definitively coming soon

because We snuck them today and you know

no backis like it's out there we can't

we can't wait to to ship that um but for

where where we're going beyond that you

know I think clearly the reception and

the enthusiasm we've gotten from the

Community around how transformative

really wellth thought generative

workflows are to the creative process is

like there's no turning back like we're

we're continuing to improve Firefly

bring it into more and more applications

I mean we saw Firefly coming to InDesign

in the keynote today um and so you know

that's like a keep moving forward keep

innovating keep adding more models to

the family of firefly foundational

models like the video model you know

areas where we have deep domain

expertise work on models anding about

those models real workflows applications

that's like a non-negotiable that's

happening and we're excited about that

future and you know apart from that

outside of generative Innovation just

continuing to improve our applications

right we brought Photoshop to the web

last fall there's there's a a beta of

Illustrator on the web so it's just very

exciting to continue to improve the core

fundamentals of the application come to

more surfaces so tons of Rich Innovation

on the generative front but equal amount

of innovation on non-generative core

features performance quality of life

improvements you know creators work day

in and day out in these applications so

uh that's really what we're passionate

about and and that's what you can expect

to come out over the next many months

and years we're really excited to see

that too and I know there was a lot of

excitement in the chat um around

InDesign in particular because they

haven't had as many announc so excited

to see that I'm so excited firefly come

to InDesign actually we have some

members of the InDesign team here so

they were really excited I know everyone

always wants more InDesign in Keynotes

um it's a great application yeah there

was a lot of excitement um in the chat

just when we did when we did the keynote

um the watch party so that was exciting

and then I know uh yesterday at our

community event the Photoshop on web we

had the Photoshop team there sharing

that and um illustrator beta on web so

it's a lot of excitement to come moving

soon and I'm look I'll look here in the

chat too to see if there's any other

questions um and we have wow people this

is what I love about our community it's

so International we have people joining

from all over the world look at this I'm

going into a project to prepare a story

board for a commercial and it turned out

to be the end result freaking love it I

love that so exciting here's a question

will there be a generative video blend

feature as well connecting clip a to

clip B after a cut has been made between

them o Keys uh tell me more uh I this is

exactly the kind of feedback that we'd

love to hear it sounds like you want to

be able to kind of like blend two

features which is a little bit of like a

build on top of the generative extend

workflow that we shared that's really

interesting um you know I I think these

are the kinds of ideas that we want to

see come through from the community to

help us ideate the next set of workflows

so I'll share that back with the product

team but um that's exactly the kind of

feedback that we're hungry to get

absolutely and I'm looking here too um

so all good feedback and then oh a

question about after effects anything

yes anything coming up in after effect

we talked about Premiere but we have not

forgotten After Effects we love all of

our video and audio products um equally

yeah absolutely there's no reason that

uh you know generative AI can't

supercharge workflows and after effects

as well um and clearly you know after

effects has the ability to sort of Roto

brush and people before we previewed

object add object remove the way you

would add and remove things would be

able to sort of round trip with with

after effect so we're pretty excited

about uh innovating on that with with

firefly so stay tuned for more there but

we have not forgotten about after

effects incredible application

definitely it's powerful all across all

across video a lot to come um and then

I'm seeing here oh I love this one from

Austin I teach photography to middle

schoolers they're learning Lightroom

hello everyone and welcome back to Adobe

live my name is Anna mcna and today I am

hosting David oku welcome David how are

you doing not too bad this good I'm so

excited to have you here welcome

everyone in on the chat hope you're all

having a great London Max so far so

David tell me about yourself so today uh

for who don't know me I'm um I'm knowing

in the industry as an illustrator

something uh I will try to bring up my

portfolio so you can all see what I

do when uh okay

so mainly I do um digital illustration

I'm very uh heavily using illustrator

and uh sometimes I use Photoshop when it

comes to editing a little bit the images

or putting some more grain to my work as

you can see on the screen right now um

something that I really enjoy doing is

creating this kind of pelic illustration

where you have a lot of crazy color a

lot of I will Define myself as a

maximalist artist so I like to put would

fill the Gap wherever I can yes and uh

over the last year I've worked for

numerous interesting project I would say

like um um I done this for WWF uh we did

this kind of how do you call it

matrioskas do you call them like this

yeah um over guarding the sorry animal

life and everything sorry still a bit I

don't know how to pronounce it but I

will try to make my best okay you know

do your best

um as you can see I've work for Mercedes

uh I'm um I will Define myself as an

artist that is always trying to find uh

uh new ways to use illustration and

maybe try to do something that is out of

my comfort zone most likely as you can

see the car and um what else can I show

you so I did some Workshop as well cuz

uh a lot of people don't know but I like

teaching so when uh the Mercedes project

came out the gave me the opportunity to

actually go with some people train them

with art and I I actually enjoyed it

believe it or not and uh lastly because

of the timing I would like to show you

something in work I did this project for

Pepsi uh that was a one of the most

proudest project I did this year I love

that that's amazing and yeah it just uh

it just brought my work to a different

stage in America so very happy about

this and uh what else

I will show you quickly this

page sorry about go very quick no that's

perfect we got 22 minutes quick is good

so we can get into a little bit

designing

fantastic let's see if it loads up I

lots of Internet issues today but in the

meantime uh while that's loading if you

all want to send your questions for

David today as he brings up his

portfolio and creates some amazing

designs for us what are you going to be

working on in ill illustator I will

start with the illustrator because I

think that is where I'm most comfortable

in and uh the reason for it is like I

have as I said a heavily work on

illustrator and Photoshop for me is

almost like giving extra texture or

adding Shadows to my work that I already

made so let's see if this one is loading

up all right looks like it's coming up

here wow I already love the tops of what

we're seeing this is a good little

preview you all are going to love it

there we go there here we go sorry

everyone it's very slow but we're going

to be

there

wow your work is so so cool I appreciate

that an know your work is is beautiful

as well because even you you use a lot

of color so I appreciate that kind of

well your color makes me want to use

even more color in my work it's very

inspiring so this is quite painful so

what I will do I think I will start

going into we can let it load and

go back to it back so uh first thing

first I would like to go illustrator

let's

see yes so as you can see here I already

had a composition of a few illustration

I was working on this was my last one

and um the way I normally work I work a

lot with shapes and use the Pathfinder

to create all these beautiful shapes

that you can see on the screen I never I

Dr free hand a lot on wakum when I want

to create something more organic but as

you can see on the screen I mainly use

shape to get away with a lot of things

in illustrator yeah and um one thing I

like to do a lot obviously apart using

colors is uh using the new um

recaller sorry let me put this full

screen so are you it's so everything

that we're seeing here is its own

individual shape and Vector everything

everything I know it's quite it's quite

heavy Master this so it's quite heavy

but uh don't get me wrong I think it's

just because I like to fill up the space

and where I see holes I need to fill it

up with something but one thing um that

I really love from last year feature and

this feature is the recolor generative

recoloring as I was saying and one thing

I like is when I do all this beautiful

composition to edit every color is very

difficult first because it's too much

happening so this have really shrink my

work by by loads of hour weekly so cool

and um what uh what I wanted to show you

as well is uh let's start a new

file also you have a bunch of new fans

here in the chat a lot of people saying

very bright and colorful work gorgeous

amazing they're going to be following

you now thank you everyone insane

illustrations someone liked the slow

motion reveal so uh yeah you got some

new new people in your life so um what I

want to show everyone is like normally

how my workflow will go normally on a

day-to-day basis is um to show you how I

use

shapes I will normally come here and

let's put

out the Pathfinder my best friend

so question uh from the chat do you find

yourself printing your work a lot

printing yes uh like I have a shop where

I do prints and everything but I don't

print personally okay uh but I had some

previous experience in uh screen

printing when I was in university oh

cool so um but yeah I would definitely

need to spend more time doing that

because I think it's also great to test

the colors yourself firstand do you sell

your prints online yeah definitely okay

I need to order one I don't know about

you all but I'm going to be buying

myself some prints from

you so so

cool um a question from YouTube how long

have you been in this field I would say

like without saying I would say more

than

20 more than 20 I started like uh

freehand but then I started with the

first illustration

Photoshop I was a graphic designer

before okay and um but I always had this

passion for illustration but I didn't

know how to translate it from actually

um translate it from freehand bringing

it into the digital space so that was

the achievement that U all these years

have brought me to the level I am today

you know yeah so normally um the way I

will draw like is create this beautiful

shape as you can see I did a flower just

now and one thing that I do to to pop my

uh colors pop my colors in illustrate or

normally oh sorry normally we'll be

using H sorry yeah that's okay don't

know why the

command always using the same shape and

copying in it I will copy cut then do

multiply like this I will get my shadows

and then I will use another shape just

on top

Center it and then I will do like a

overlay on top of it sounds very um it's

very straightforward nothing uh nothing

crazy but what I've learned to do is

like uh I spend a lot of hours by doing

this little sounds crazy right now

but I love that you immediately have

like a 3d effect to it instantly it's a

fake it's a fake 3D but uh it uh that's

how I've learned because the black and

white teaches you how to use uh light

and Shadow contrast and I think this

technique of how I use to let it pop out

works good for my illustration because

it creates that like a proper fake 3D

you can see even here if I had example

wanted to put some more Shadow I will go

onto the flower I'll do just a random

shape like this because obviously it's

close to the

center cut it out

with a

copy overlay it and always

both let's put it darker so everybody

can see what

[Music]

happening oh sorry yeah the mouse is not

trackpad not the best but you can see I

will just recreate this all over the

leaves and then it will start looking

that's amazing

whoa that's so cool the way you do

this yes a lot of people are really into

this they said they can watch the

process all day you need to teach more

classes on Adobe live get you on here

for a full one that would be super cool

but you see so the team is really is

very simple very straightforward and but

you can go crazy at example

um another thing that I like a lot is

like when you really want to let it pop

more you can actually play with u having

let's it like

this bringing your colors into your

gradients okay

so wow

I'm so curious to see what you're going

to do here this is like no nothing

special it's still going mized but it's

just techniques to play around with

color and let it pop a little bit more

than what it's supposed to be instead of

having like a plain plain color so you

can to have this here and then go into

this

one make the same but instead of having

it the same we can invert it so like

it's really There's No Boundaries to

what you can do with this

someone was wondering if you do murals I

do uh spray spray can murals all right

yeah yeah yeah I do I do definitely wow

a man of many

talents I think uh the being always uh

strict to a computer and drawing things

um on the screen takes you away from

being outside and enjoying that art on a

Max

yeah anyway anyway enough with this I

want to show you this let's say all your

work onone that's fine but let's say

another thing is I like doing a lot

of geds like this to create the lettuce

and um sometime

typography and as you can see I always

use the Pathfinder the Pathfinder is my

best friend when it comes to anything

and there we go

W then we can put this back just to

see I'm mesmerized

Keys was wondering if you tried Adobe

Fresco uh not a lot actually I've tried

it once but I don't know I've done so

many years with illustrator yeah it feel

like I'm cheating on my wife you know

like uh I don't know I just feel very

comfortable with illustrator and I think

it's all about how much you use it the

more you use it the quicker you get in

doing things I absolutely understand

that's how I feel with Photoshop you

know I like Fresco as well but you get

very used to using one of your main apps

and then you don't like to stray from it

yeah let's go here and what you see is

like from a plain simple plain uh letter

you can always go out to edit it put

some gradient uh recolor it if you want

in the generative

AI let's see here let's do this again

what let's do the opposite

okay and normally in Photoshop let's

open it

up Rob said I'm speechless this is

incredible thank you

Rob and I want to show you what normally

I would use Photoshop with when I use

illustration

I'll just simply cut it from

here make it maybe a little bit smaller

here we

go and when we are here one thing that I

really like about Photoshop obviously is

uh Photoshop can make you go crazy in a

lot of

sense let's say like

this okay here we go

sorry normally I'm with the bigger

screen that's okay I get it that's like

is you're doing amazing such cool stuff

um Laura wants to know what your

favorite illustrator shortcuts are while

you're working on that command Z command

C yep command D people don't know

command D the duplicate is crazy but uh

don't get me wrong I think um a lot of

people see the work as being too quick

but reality is if you know the shortcut

it save you so much time it's something

it's embarrassing how much time you can

save with shortcuts you know yeah and as

you can see if you have somebody like me

that kind of uses like shapes it's very

interesting to see how the

Pathfinder is one of those tool that you

can literally create everything in

seconds you

know okay really cool so normally what

I'll do is you see when I have a compos

like this I like to use Photoshop to

either put some

additional gradient on things or using

textures and then overlay it

[Music]

sorry so like this and then add maybe

some

you're doing overlays right yeah at the

at the moment Li

wait let's

see sorry it doesn't look like it's

working at the moment but let's do

something different is it giving issu oh

that texture is

cool can we get the screen moved we

can't see his layers

thank

you anyway let me show you this

so another question from the chat uh

what is your favorite software I guess

it's safe to say illustrator right

illustrator of course absolutely and

then uh they want to know what you think

of AI and how it integrates into the

workflow that you currently have okay so

everyone wants to know what everyone

thinks of AI I know I know uh I have to

say don't get me wrong okay I have uh my

opinions on a eye in terms of I think

it's something

that is technology we are evolving is

going to be the future so we have to

embrace it and try to work with it

alongside with what we're already doing

right now yes but at the same time I

feel like a

simplifying the process of learning and

for me learning something is very

important and I think uh by simp

simplifying things um a lot of people

don't learn the hard work behind it and

in the future that hard work is actually

the thing that will make the difference

if it makes sense absolutely not saying

that it's not good it's good to

implement it with your workflow and

create something unique I will say but

then when it comes to um I don't know I

have uh I love it but at the same time

I'm afraid of it a lot you know and I've

tried it myself to see where where you

can go and what you can create you can

create stunning things uh but uh I'm one

of those guy that really love to use the

hard way to do everything in life you

know

cuz I totally hear

that how much uh did it make a massive

difference for yourself in terms of uh

Photoshop I would say it helped me speed

up a lot of my workflows and deal with

things that were you know more of a pain

that I didn't want to work on anymore or

or some things especially when it came

to ideation and just kind of coming up

with uh something really quick to show

someone now I can use AI to kind of do

that and pass it on to a client or like

a colleague and then be like this is

what my idea is now I'm going to make it

in photos you know so that's super I

agree with you actually the fact of

making it something uh to sketch or to

get like quick ideas or something that I

love doing personally so I would just

write something that I'm interested get

an idea because let's be honest as an

illustrator sketching requires a lot of

time and if you have different uh

difficult clients you need to make you

need to make it happen you know I know I

know it's so true yeah let's see we got

a lot of good good responses to that uh

quick question what inspired your style

from Elizabeth I think uh um I come from

a very heavy um freestyle background so

I used to take canvases just fill them

up with illustration artwork messaging

and um um I think feel up the Gap is how

I will describe My Style and what and I

think the inspiration come from my mix

ethnicity I started with black and white

cuz my mom is Italian father Nigerian

and then I just get tired of black and

white and I started exploring the color

journey and since I've been there I just

used all these vibrant colors and I went

crazy I think every year but yeah it

just kept developing you know that's

amazing that's so awesome someone wanted

to see your one of your working files

and to switch to outline mode are you

willing to do that for us some of my

work and switch the outline yeah like if

we could see uh one of your super

finished pieces with all of the all of

the vectors in there okay let's let's

switch to outline mode on that

that's look ah I love your work it's so

good so um the thing is like if if I

example take this oh

sorry let's go in

it that's cool it's just to show because

obviously I can I'm normally somebody

that I like a black outline more than a

lot of things just because it breaks the

contrast but it's also true that I can

use a lot of different

colors let's

see yeah I mean that's cool to see too

if you like zoom in on that a little bit

oh

sorry but you see it still works but

it's not uh I need to change the color

range way before okay yeah but yeah I

still do stuff without uh without the

outline as well sometimes I just use

gradient to create images let's see if

we can do one quick one

here how many 3 minutes okay let's do

something wrap it up in a couple minutes

here any last questions for David send

those in into the

chat about a minute left

here

yeah oh I like those colors those are

some of my favorite colors right

there I love

that yeah Emma says this amazing so many

shapes here

um Ray says his layers must be crazy no

they're heavy for sure yeah they're

heavy it's just because it's a

overlaying of a normally I work on one

layer but I will normally switch it only

if I have to use after effects to

animate it

myself oh look at that that's so

cool all right let's end on this last

question from Elizabeth this is a good

one what is your tip for young

designers my tip for young designers I

mean believe in yourself and I think uh

in this industry there's no right and

wrong never and I think explore what you

have around yourself get to know people

that you're interested with and don't be

afraid to just reach out and do you you

know ah what a perfect way to end thank

you so much David thank you everyone for

watching us today this was amazing your

art is incredible go follow David and

enjoy the rest of your max everyone and

thank you for watching us from your home

good welcome every everybody Welcome to

Adobe like session and today this is

amazing we are live from Adobe Max

London I hope you all having a good time

I am so happy first of all to have you

here but to have Liz mosle next to me to

show some amazing things that'll be

expressed um if you're on the chat

please go in the chat ask question we

are there live to answer all your

question and now please please can you

tell us a bit more about you if people

doesn't know you life what is your

speciality what does make you unique

tell us a bit more yeah sure well

similarly to you I am a branding

designer and I specialize in branding

for small businesses and I am also a

podcast host so I've got a podcast

called building your brand amazing all

about branding and marketing for small

business go check the podcast good one

go check the podcast um and I'm also an

adobe Express Ambassador so that's why

I'm here today and we're going to be

talking about Adobe Express amazing I

love that so let's talk two minutes of B

Max and then we jump straight another

big SP so you and Max now for like two

days now how do you feel about it how

was it what you expence so good about it

like it is honestly buzzing and I think

one of the things that I've learned

about myself as a creative is one of the

things that inspires me the most is

being around other creatives like

getting to chat to them hear their

experiences even just like seeing

different people's workflows how they

work like you know we had the keynote

this morning and you did an amazing demo

and like seeing all the different demos

from people you know like there's always

so much more to learn isn't there and so

it's just nice to just have that energy

that buzz be around all that creativity

so yeah Max is amazing it this is my

third one now I'm really loving it oh my

God that's my first one so I'm like a

bit of a new I mean you like went in

high though doing the keynote in your

first Ma so thank you thank you no but I

can't agree more like the connection and

the for the inspiration is amazing and

very exciting now I heard you're going

to talk about print in adab Express I

want to hear that because this is like a

big one like how to set printing f for

in another B expr for the printer please

I let you the stage go for it okay well

I I don't know about you but I I love

print like I just think holding

something in your hand is amazing and I

think one of the things that I love

about Adobe Express is it's like really

accessible so if you haven't you know

like if you're not used to using say

illustrator or in design in design is

usually what I would potentially use for

like print then you can do in adoe

Express and you can send things to print

and it can look amazing so I'm going to

show you something that I made in Adobe

Express so this is a flyer that I

created a little while ago to promote my

podcast um I don't know if you can see

this on the camera but it's got some

nice gold foil on it so we're going to

cheat about that as well what foil as

inpr obviously we can set up for the

foil in Adobe Express so what I'm going

to do is dive into Adobe Express and

show you this project um so here's the

flyer that I created and I set up the

design now one of the things that you

need to think about obviously you know

this Adrianne is when you are Printing

and I would always recommend chatting to

your printer about how they want you to

supply your files like most PR

like are going to have similar

specifications but there always might be

like little tweaks way ways that they

like things so you can always just email

them and say can you tell me how you

want me to supply the file but usually

for print there's a few key things that

you need to factor in so first up is you

want it to be in cmk now you can't

really adjust any of that in Adobe

Express so don't worry about that too

much I was going to it's that but it's

fine it'll still work fine for you the

next thing though and this is something

that you are going to have to adjust is

it needs to have bleed so that when that

they're like chopping the edges off

you're not getting like a weird white

line or anything so you want it to have

to explain for the N really argue

designer so bleed is extra bit you add

to be able to be cut on exactly so it's

a it's like a buffer a margin that

you've got around the edges so they

print a bit extra so that when they cut

it you don't want cuz sometimes you know

like the cuttings maybe like moves a

slight bit you don't want like an

Anno so there isn't now if you are used

to using like IND design I think you can

add it in illustrator as well there's

like a function that you can add bads

right PDF work as well yeah exactly so

normally you want to be adding three mil

bleed all the way around again like

check with your printer in some

countries it might be different in the

UK it's usually 3 mil 3 mil as well

depending maybe inches in English yeah

exactly you're using a different

measurement but what so what I did for

this file is I just if I I click into

first of all love love the your

illustration your face is fantastic

working that was a friend of mine called

Joyce did that so shout out to Matt so

if you can see over here on the left

hand side my fly is 100 by 100 Mil okay

but I've added six mil to the width and

the height so that means that I've got

my 3 mil all the way around fantastic

yeah now if you you need to factor that

in when you're working on the design so

as I look at this now 3 mil is going to

get chopped off all the way around so

you need to make sure that you're not

putting anything like too close to the

edge like if it's Tech or anything like

that so I've got my flyer set up I've

got like my text my illustration and

then I'm the back I've got um the back

design I put in a QR code which I made

in Adobe Express very useful so it's a

call to action I want people to listen

to my podcast I want to make it as easy

for them as possible amazing so we've

got the mill set up and now I can like

play around with the design I can like

change the colors so um earlier I went

into illustrator and had a little play

around with text to vector and made like

a little um icon that I I love that yeah

add you might as well use your threat as

your workflow now we text to Victor yeah

so what's really great about do Express

is that it integrates so well with the

other tools so if you are using

illustrator if you are using Photoshop

you can like create Assets in those and

then bring them in so all I did was

saved it in illustrator and if I go to

my stuff it was saved to the cloud and

so I can just access it here I just

saved to the cloud and like within

seconds it was there so useful this is

so useful for everyone who doesn't use

that yet you must use your library it is

such a game changer it really is yeah

well that's there's a few different ways

of doing it so you can save it to the

cloud as a file you can save it in a

library and then you'll find it in like

your libraries and brand kits um or you

can even just drag the illustrator file

into Adobe Express and then it'll be

there for you so so practical love that

so great so we've got the flyer and now

I've added some elements cuz I wanted to

update it slightly so I've just put in

this like microphone and these

headphones um and now all I need to do

to send it to print is to go to

download and I want to select all pages

because I want to have a PDF file that's

going to have the front and the back in

that I can send to the printer so I'm

just going to scroll down here and I

need to choose PDF and I need to then

download it but what I'm going to do

first is now you'll remember that my

flyer had gold foil on the front oh yeah

so we're just going to have a little

play around with how to set that up

again this is something that you're

going to want to check with the printer

um but the printers I used what they

wanted me to do was to isolate the bits

that needed to be in gold foil so what

I'm going to do is head to my pages and

I'm going to duplicate this page so it

has a very important part yeah yeah let

me just bring it over to the end I'm

going to double click on it and I'm

going to delete everything that isn't

going to be in gold foil I'm going to

take all of these elements off I'm going

to make the background white and I'm

going these are the two bits that I want

to be in gold foil and I'm going to make

these um black can you explain to us why

the printer ask you to do those letter

for the F black um it's just so that

they know it's so clear to for me it's

gold it's not black yeah it's going to

come out gold but they're going to use a

different printing process for that

layer on the top and so it's so that

they know EXA L where it needs to go so

you that's why I duplicated the page

because I want it to appear in the exact

same place as it is on the design so

that it appears in gold and then in a

minute what I'm going to do is I'm going

to go back and delete it from my

original design on the front cover

because I don't want them to print that

and then maybe if it like SL same with

the white line there you don't want that

so that's very clever let did you hear

that guys very clever let me sessions

are about to begin please make your way

so we just get all in black now the

different layers now this is something

that I've brought in as like an image so

I'm going to just change the color for

this

in um The Duo tone so I can just go into

custom and I can just select black here

so if you have something that's not like

native T you know like not text that

you've done in this is an image exactly

so I can just make it black like that so

these are the bits I want gold foiled so

now I'm going to head back to all of my

pages I'm going to go back to the front

one and I'm actually going to delete

these now okay fantastic because I don't

want them to be printed when they're

printing this bit of the flyer so now

I've got my document and what I'm going

to do is I'm going to save all the pages

and I'm going to save it as a PDF and

then I'm just going to download it and

then then I can send that to the

printers and I can say to them that that

third page that is the gold foil I love

that I love that register and I love the

fact that you really tell like if you're

know designer simply because you're

doing like social more than anything you

don't do print to say go to your printer

ask them because they would give you

guidance I remember when I first started

I like what do I do how do I save my and

my printer told me you save the PDF like

that and you do create a new layers you

do in Black because at first like it's

not obvious and like different printers

sometimes have like different you know

ways of doing things and also I think

always better to just check that before

you send it to print they won't mind

it'll take them a few seconds to email

you and tell you and it just will save

you any time it means that they're not

having to do any like around

with your files you can get exactly how

you want no ex work from the printer ex

they're going to love you if you ask I

love that I love that no no keep on I

have a question for you after yeah no

ask me the question and I'll get an next

so my question is like from the design

side of it because obviously adab

Express is made to do digital how do you

make sure you are quite you you careful

with the color how do you make sure the

color going to be able to be as close as

possible as you want because we're

working RGB and you're going to have

printting

so at the moment there's like not you

don't have as much control in Adobe

Express as to what you're doing with the

color and so what I would recommend is

when you um are like creating your brand

you know that you get your hex codes

either from your designer or if you're

creating it yourself and those are what

you can then put into a do Express and

like the color is never going to be

exactly right but actually like it does

a pretty good job and it's going to look

on brand so you just make sure that you

get those hex codes in um you know you

can't control the output like you're

your PDF is going to like it'll work

fine like I got it printed it came out

exactly how I wanted like it it really

well very good and that was like this

was from a file from Adobe Express so

like you can make it work but yeah like

obviously you're going to have more

control if you're in in design I mean in

design is what I would normally like

send things obviously but it's for the

people who doesn't want to go and learn

in design I think is super super

practical and super intuitive

think and you can have the confidence to

send things to print so then the next

thing that I wanted to show you so again

I've got little ones that got printed

but these are some fun stickers that I

designed they're quite small so you

might not be able to see them but um

some cute like stickers that say

community over competition I've got them

here on the screen and we're basically

again you can like set these up and send

them to a company that prints stickers

again I would recommend just getting in

touch with them and being like what file

format you want them usually they're

going to say PDF you know like they

might want the background in a

particular way but if you if we scroll

through so what I did with these is I

actually created these ones in

illustrator and I just dragged the

illustrator file in and now I've just

got them all here they came in on

different pages like it was super easy

super fun I like how you have

transparent background as well because

that's I know it came a couple of months

ago but we don't we not used to be able

to be transparent background in ad B

Express now you can it's really cool

that yeah so I've got the chance

background on but what I'm gonna do now

is I'm going to so there's a few

different options for this and it

depends how you want to print your

stickers you might want to print them as

like

individual um stickers so like these you

know where they're like on their own but

I you've probably seen where you like

print a sheet of stickers and you've got

like a little you know thing going on so

we could do something like that so if um

what I'm going to do is I'm going to

head

to um if we um if we what I'm going to

do is I'm going to copy and paste these

into a new document so so if I get a new

page

up and I'm just going to resize it and

I'm going to make it a flyer size so

imagine this is going to be like an A5

sheet of stickers okay so I'm just going

to we love stickers everybody loves

stickers I love you've done some really

fun stickers I like you've done some

Adobe Express stickers yes I did so

we've got um resized so what I'm going

to do then is I'm just going to go and

grab my stickers from the other pages

and I'm just going to copy them onto

this um sheet here and we'll just start

like arranging them around let's see if

it's going to come in oh there we go

it's brought it in nice and

small and we'll start putting together

our sticker sheet and you'll be able

again like you can check with the

printers but they'll be able to see

where to die cut around with

theine can you explain a bit more in a

minute how they know where to cut it

around because of youly right now I just

see I just see yeah you just see

can't um let me just pick a color to go

in the background here so that can be

the background of our sheet so actually

they can just work that out like from

the design because it's quite clear so

they will do that from their end where

they will set up a cutting machine

that's going to make sure that the

stickers are cut out on the sheet and

there might be like a little bit of

movement but again that's why I've added

the white background so I think with

stickers it's always quite good to have

like a background around your design you

like a little trim of course like that

didn't know so if there's any movement

actually it's not that big a deal that's

that's good and for the nontechnical

designer

there who listen to us what isn't

absolutely amazing to export in PDF is

PDF will keep a lot of data behind and

the printer when you open a PDF whatever

if it's on illustrator or on uh you will

see all those L they will be able to

gain back all those tiny lines and stuff

really easily it will not be a flat

image basically what I'm saying so PDF

is an amazing it's an amazing uh

software an amazing program to export to

uh so every time you do something for

printer exporting PDF it will keep all

all the all all the information behind

all the open files and the layers behind

that yeah it yeah absolutely so I've

just got my like sticker sheet now we're

just bringing it all in the colors are

looking really nice together we can

think about where it's going to go and

then like the other thing I've seen

people do at events like this I don't

know about you but I think it's always

really fun to like have something that

you can give people like a way that

people can like get in touch with you

find out what you're are doing so why do

with this is I would probably add my

logo in the top what I'm going to do now

is I'm always add your logo guys logo

and social media your Instagram do it

everywhere you go if not it's pointless

you're losing the absolutely even better

even better is that I'm going to head

back to the homepage and I'm going to go

to the QR code generator and I'm going

to make a QR

code and I'm going to add it on so let

me just put my website

in bit of selfpromo here yeah always a

bit of selfpromo promo it's always about

getting getting your stuff out there so

then I can pick my style it's so easy I

always go for the rounded ones I don't

know why I think they look it's a

personal style yeah it's personal toys

yeah you just got to pick what you like

you can change the color I'm probably

going to like keep it black but then I'm

going to use a filter so that it loses

the background um so we can do that

let's just download it and what is good

it's very functional the QR code

everybody know what is about and they

can quickly do something you know it's

an action up so let's just go back to

the home page thank you very much

everyone on the chat I'm looking at your

audience I saw curties you do so much

great stuff thank you great tips for the

big exp love that Kina great favorite

principle love that what what is your

favorite principle of design and which

one is work for you favorite principles

of design ooh that's a great one I

really like thinking about like the

principles of color palettes so like

like making sure that you have a good

balance I don't know about you if you

found this with like branding that if

you had color palettes that were all the

same tone like it didn't work like you

had to have a real range so you need

like a dark you need a light something

that's like off black off white the

colors in between you love color you're

the righto I like a good contrast I need

something to pop I want to see it for

far away I need we brand designers

exactly it's not about all the beauty no

it's about can we see is it working do

is it remember right so let's bring in

this uh a great

question bring I mean there's so many

design what's your favorite design

principle like hierarchy it's so good

like they all need to I think they all

have for me is like you need to have

good spacing let it breath Your Design

please God let it breathe Don't Cry Your

Design yeah he's a good one to know make

sure your brain can go through design

easily and then yeah good color balance

but yeah I think yeah find a cool font

good key and let it breathe and normally

good and you know hell yeah or hell no

look at your design is it amazing hell

yeah you working if you I'm not sure do

it again until it's amazing I love that

hell yeah hell no so what I'm going to

do with my QR code is I don't want it to

have the white box so I'm just going to

click multiply and it's going to get rid

of the white box for me but it's going

to keep the Integrity of the QR code and

what I would recommend doing is before

you send anything to PR get your phone

and just check that the QR code actually

and that you've done it to the right

place fantastic we are now on the red on

the timer we're going to be shout out by

the team here I think we need to cut but

that is amazing so print on Adobe

Express by this is amazing save to PDF

make sure you have your bleed right

three minuts everywhere if you want to

do F add a new layers this is fantastic

great tip thank you very much please

thank you so much for having me pleasure

thank you everyone live stay tuned more

to come we are live ad ad Max London

this is really exciting have a good day

welcome back to Adobe live we are

excited to be here streaming live from

the expo hall floor in London as a part

of adobe Max London I'm clar Gan I work

on the community team here at Adobe and

I'm excited to be joined by Tina Tuli

hey Tina how's it going thank you very

much for having me here it's it's

amazing amazing such an amazing venue as

well it's super exciting here right it's

beautiful and and you didn't have to

travel far this time right no that was

an easy one just on the other side of

London yeah so nice thank you very much

for having me here yeah thank you for

taking the time to share your work with

us and if you are just joining in um on

YouTube or on bance we are live here so

if you have questions for Tina or for

the Adobe team in general you can go

ahead and post them in the chat and we

will get to them shortly um but team and

I we were just in off Festival in

Barcelona together and now now at Max

London yes so in such a short time but

this time I prepared something like

quite special for you so I'm going to

talk through a couple of like my

projects and beds Explorations and how

do I actually edit my work and how do I

get it like from like whatever I get

from my camera or like the very like

initial draft all the way like to the

final outcome so we are going to have a

little kind of like behind the scenes

like tours it's it's quite an exciting

one yeah yeah nice and for those who

haven't seen your streams before can you

share a little bit more about the kind

of work that you do yeah of course so

yeah I'm working kind of like a range of

design Fields like both print and

digital design and it's all the way like

from like typography branding

illustration a bit of 3D and motion so

kind of like a big range I'm always like

I I enjoy challenging myself and trying

new medium new techniques every time and

that's why you will see also like this

kind of like uh mixture of like

techniques and uh outcomes which they

all kind of feel though in the same kind

of language a bit more like colorful

minimal and with quite a lot of like

typography Focus um yeah so quite quite

a range of bits and yeah you can also

have a look through my website to see a

couple of like

examples um today I'm going to talk you

go through a bit more of this kind of

what I call blending physical and

digital so playing around with like

different materials in the analog way

like playing from like like paper

cultures all the way like to liquids and

um mixing like oil and waterbased

materials and how do I use all this like

little exp experimentations to get like

to the final outcomes so yeah that's so

cool and I think this stream is so

unique too with all the other sessions

that we had here at Max London as part

of adobe live is that we're showing how

you take actual physical manipulatives

and how you're bringing that into the

digital space exactly so I'd love to

dive in and see a little bit more of

what that looks like and in the meantime

as you're setting that up I'm taking a

look at the chat so again if you're

tuning in from YouTube or behance uh we

are live here from Max Max London um and

can answer any questions that you have

so I see uh uh K is joining in says hi

Tina um Nate Nuno um and Barbara Nuno

asks how do you have time to work with

all of these events we are this is our

work we're loving connecting with you

and sharing all of this

um I I like the new updates and layouts

on Firefly nights uh Nate says and I'm

looking over here on let's see we're

also on the Creative Cloud YouTube and

Adobe live YouTube um a so nice Curtis

you are both like two little rays of

sunshine online thank you thank you um

well with that what we can do is just um

go ahead and pop into your website so

this is so like immediately it's like so

vibrant and so ful yeah so kind of like

a lot of experimentation so for today I

picked to talk you through like one of

the pieces very related event so the

Adobe Max co-create project so this was

from I think it was last year's Edition

so I wanted to show you all the behind

the scenes how it's been created like

step by step so I'm going to switch and

I'm going to jump on this little folder

here so that's that's we need so it all

started by experimenting let me see if I

can Go full

screen Co so it all started by

experimenting like with materials and

liquid so I chopped like the letters for

the Adobe Max logo and I grabbed all

kind of materials I had in the studio

all kind of like liquids and I started

playing around creating compositions

trying to communicate the whole idea of

like creativity itself so and here you

can see also a couple of like in the end

like couple of like outcomes from those

Explorations so very very very rough so

you can get an idea of what I'm

capturing with my camera and then the

first step is like collecting all those

outcomes so you can see a couple of them

on this folder here let me make it like

bigger like this you can kind of

see um and there there are some of them

like pretty rough like not necessarily

like nice and Polished because sometimes

I use them like as part of the creative

process recreating fully like the image

or sometimes I use them as an outcome so

it really depends but you can see

already like so many different

Explorations and then you scroll in this

folder and that's just selection there

are way yeah more colors like all the

different variations and how the colors

are merging together with the different

things yeah so different Explorations

different colors different like

materials so like trying to capture like

how this creativity this kind of like

World of creativity could actually look

like yeah so I love this one it looks

like a a globe yes that one too yeah

yeah yeah yeah I I quite like those so

it's it was very hard actually to select

when I shared it with the team they were

like that's a quite hard one but yeah we

decided we we kind of like this one

because it had the dynamic of the

liquids though for me it felt like

really really messy in a way so that is

where I drop it and I start like

digitally editing and sometimes is an

extreme extent like this example here so

oh I already have it open here so that

is like the outcome itself MH but let's

start back from the initial image such a

like wow what a transformation ini like

the little editing folder and that's

just couple of steps we are like 103

steps so it's going to take a while

let's I'm going to go ahead and hide all

of them and let's start like from the

bottom and see like what I did and I'm

going to talk you also through the tools

that I use and everything so sorry you

just I'm looking here as you're doing

that in the chat um let's see so I

believe this is Oliver keys um Tina your

work seems part experimentation part

exploration how do you cross the path

between the two and make it so

exceptional I I love experimenting so

it's kind of coming naturally would say

it's always like trying like in every

project to put as much creativity as as

much experimentation as possible and

push like every single like every single

yeah so

cool so yeah starting from like the very

kind of like initial first thing I

started like expanding like the edges

and sometimes it's like I'm grabbing

pieces over also from different experim

experimentations that I like so it's not

only the the specific like this image I

grabbed like pieces that I like from

other images in order to feel in the

full like kind of like canvas as I

wanted since I didn't really want to

have like the black edges I feel like

it's too

Condy and then it's this kind of like

proces I'm going to zoom in even more if

if we chop a bit the edges so you can

see like detail by detail how things are

slightly changing like how areas like

Focus for example in this area here how

it gets

simplified and more simplified and so on

so it's kind of like changing like

little bits by little bits and now I

guess with AI it's easier because

sometimes you can just go ahead and be

like oh I don't like this bubble and you

can just go generative field and

generate and it's going to create for

you what is missing there um back when I

actually created it um using quite a lot

the patch tool and the stump tool

correspondingly I'm just going to cancel

that so it's what I'm usually doing is

like grabbing my stump tool and start

like sampling areas around and start

getting rid of um kind of like details I

feel like they are not oops I'm in the

wrong layer um that I feel like they are

just creating noise on my image and

they're not necessarily like adding

something to it m and I started also

like correcting like details like uh

when I don't like like things like this

like this little bubble here so very

patiently like recreating redrawing the

on top and you can see like how step by

step it's keep like changing or here you

can see like I feel the logo was like a

bit misaligned Yeah but I knew that will

be a static piece so it didn't really

like it didn't matter for me in the

experimentation to get it perfect

because I can just of course edit edit

it afterwards um so yeah playing around

like adding like here I felt like it's

too much noise and I really want to

highlight that car and you can see step

by step so here is like a bit of a

bigger move where I brought as you can

see like at the top here a from another

artwork because I felt like oh it needs

some extra like color pops there and

keep going like editing like details

details so you can see like there are

thousands of steps like I just collected

a couple of them for you so you can get

a better understanding of how it goes

like step by step like patiently here

you can see a massive change as well I

removed the shapes again so that's also

part of like creating that you go back

and forth try different ways till you

actually get to the final outcome and

yeah like more simplified more

simplified cleaning up adding bits

bringing again so we see like new

bubbles coming in and so on so I'm just

going to go through a couple of steps so

you can see the process and you can see

already how it's

simplified a lot based on like where we

started from you remember it was like

all this kind of like mess image so yeah

it's more of like patiently kind of like

redrawing or even sometimes like

creating new shapes so you can start see

here oh I love seeing the new shapes

that yeah so it's like new like totally

new shapes that they follow the same

style but they wanted to add like all

those little cutouts here and so on so I

start creating redrawing so sometimes

it's like yeah it's it's going farther

and farther from the initial kind of

reference but it is the basis uh for

that starting playing around also with

correcting colors bringing in the

glossiness around the um Max logo you

can see like I quite like how it was on

the M well on the other letters it

didn't happen so I created it um and so

on keep editing editing adding details

bringing in shapes removing shapes and

color correction adjustment layers wow

so that is a whole kind of Journey and

amazing to see the whole process it's

starting from there yeah to get there so

you can see like now you can realize

also some shapes that they're actually

drawn they're a bit more Tod but I quite

like this contrast to have like uh this

yeah this more like physical thing with

the digital ones in be yeah so so yeah

that's one quick example yeah that's

beautiful and I'm looking here in the

chat there's a lot of excitement and

seeing just your whole process and a lot

of questions um so I see um so uh K says

I like the Hands-On stuff it's very

crafty uh Laura has a question what

programs are you using for the 3D

animation so I believe you're referring

to when you showed kind of the at the

beginning yeah I guess it's either like

after effects like fake 3D kind of like

faking it or even like you can use the

light version of Cinema 4D within uh

after effects or like Cinema 4D or

blender for like 3D stuff so up to you

what you prefer to use but yeah both

perfectly work and I'm seeing here um oh

have you tried replicating your work in

Firefly or any other AI software I feel

like this would be really

difficult yes no I tried but I didn't

really achieve anything that yes that

I'm quite happy with but the second

example I have for you is actually using

Firefly as part of my work so creating

something that is partly created ocean

Firefly should we jum that perfect yeah

let's jump in and I'm looking here too

if there's any uh we have Carolina free

to bum us with any questions any

questions Carolina from London and I'm

looking at this other o this chat is is

uh very popular let's see JY live okay

um great

experience um oh Dan has a question how

did you keep the logo in the center

that's from the initial Maybe from the

initial piece the initial was in the

center and it was like a stagnant it

didn't move right so you had the liquid

over it you I STI it on the on the trace

yes but you can see still like that's

like the actual logo and you can see

like on the original that pieces did

move so I I retouched it and I brought

them back in the exactly position

perfect um vs is very cool and uh Chella

says wow good and very beautiful project

so yeah let's let's dive into the other

example you had shared um using

partially part of adobe Firefly yes so

that's also like a big kind of like

subject of discussion with AI coming and

everyone feeling like scared about it

and that's something like I always think

like it's it's another tool that it's

like another like way that it can help

you push your work and what I don't

really like is like when I see like all

the AI examples that they are all like

they don't really have like their own

kind of like voice if that makes sense

you see them and you're like oh it's

created in AI I know that and that's our

challenge as creatives to see like how

we can use that to give it like again

like our own voice on that piece to make

it like special unique make it your own

in a way MH so and that can be either

like by feeding in your work and

training your AI but it can also be like

using like the outcomes as part of your

creative process part of like little

assets that you can use in order to

build something bigger and while I was

working this piece so it's the second

piece of like this addition of the uh my

kind of kind uh poster I created

initially for the world kindness day

it's the 13th of

November and I wanted to create a

version that also uses some AI assets

and push it and see how I could make

that happen MH so I started by creating

um I'm going to remove some of the

layers yes so I started by creating the

typography and illustrating it custom

typography adob

illustrator uh with my message all like

Carvey to embrace like kindness and like

make it a bit more friendly yeah and

then I brought it in Cinema 4D where I

started extruding it playing a bit with

the angles with the lighting and I

started bringing in materials some of

them are from Vincent's rank like his

amazing like uh library of materials you

should check it out if you haven't

already and some of them I decided to

just create them in Cinema 4D well some

some of them also created an adobe

Firefly so that's an amazing use also to

use the AI to create the asset that you

actually need rather than just the final

outcome so it can be like painting like

textures for example if you're working

in a 3D World or in 2D it could be like

your patterns or that you will just uh

put within your illustration so it's

like so many like different ways to use

it MH and then yeah I just had like a

symbol background I played I love like

colors so I played around with gradients

and I found this quite works but I still

felt like this piece is not complete yet

it was just kind of like missing

something so I start uh playing around

with 3D creating some abstract shapes

behind and I was like you know what well

I could perhaps use some inspiration and

uh then I went to Firefly and I started

like putting in some prompts and I

really like like the microcosmos and

macro kind of like photography and stuff

so I use the amiva kind of like as a as

inspiration which is something a bit

more abstract and can lead me to

interesting outcomes and asking like for

something that is 3D threedimensional

and that is colorful or like non-

colorful plain background and so on and

I'm going to switch to my folder here

um and I got outcomes like those

examples

here so let me as you're pulling that up

I'm taking a look at the chat so again

we are live in YouTube and on be hands

um we have Dominic from Edinburgh

welcome from Scotland and um we have a

meticulous process um for how you're

showcasing everything so if you have any

questions for Tina uh we are live from

Adobe Max London uh go ahead and post

them in the

chat Co yeah of course like any

questions yeah I'm here to solve any

technical issues also today kind of

workflows um so yeah I got like all this

amazing library of like amazing like

shade

like time it's amazing yeah you can

again use them as they are as a final

outcome and be like oh this is the piece

or use them as an asset uh on your

composition so there are so many amazing

it was like so hard to actually pick

what I'm going to be using so I start

dropping like a couple of them behind my

typography just to see like how it looks

so I can I can play around perhaps I'm

just going to drop a random one and

start just grapping them and placing

them just here behind and already like

it starts feeling like quite nice yeah

um and I I quite like how they how they

different like even if you put like more

of them they are like all working so

nicely so I was like it was very very

tricky to to actually like pick which

one am I going to go with yeah and how

did you think of the prompt so like do

you have any because we get this

question a lot on Adobe live what is the

best way to um you know create a prompt

that's going to provide like the best

outcome for my project uh it really

depends of course what you're working

on and what you're passionate about

because I love like all this kind of

like M micrography and I I I I never

managed to go into that level like so

close microscope yeah with a microscope

so I was like this is what I want and I

cannot get so that's what I'm going to

ask for so something that you you else

how you wouldn't be able to have as an

asset so I think something like that

could be but yeah I guess like the more

you experiment the more ideas come to

you and like you decide what you want

but it's yeah I don't know guess it's

like I'm playing around a lot with

materials as well in the physical world

so it's sometimes like I'm getting

inspired by them and I'm asking oh can I

have like a cloudy kind of material or

like liquidy pattern or so it's yeah

perhaps just look around you and see

like any objects around you that inspire

you and try with that yeah so

cool yeah so grabbing the assets and I

played around and the asset that I

actually like the most I think I marked

it let me see uh yeah it's this one so I

really love this outcome here I felt

like it's it's very very interesting so

I just WR it in Photoshop and I really

love this new tool of removing the

background as well MH so in this

specific scenario I'm not sure why but

we get like low holes but likely it's

easy just like grabbing like your uh

brush tool and you have the mask so you

can just go ahead and like fix it super

easy yeah yeah easy fix but yeah I was

quite surprised because usually works

like super well and then and yeah I got

the acid I actually

wanted I didn't really want that Moody

background I wanted something a bit more

colorful mhm and then all I did was just

bringing it in here so it's just behind

my type so here we are and then adding

again like some saturation layers and

adjustment layers I'm always like

adjusting a bit like brightness contrast

levels human saturation colors all those

kind of bits and then bringing in some

extra little elements those like little

how you call them like stones that they

are grabb from this image but also from

like some of the other renders some of

the other outcomes from Firefly so yeah

it can just be like you use AI as like

your little assistant so in this

scenario here it's in the background and

as part of it as materials but yeah it's

not the final outcome I feel like I

worked on that and I feel like it's my

piece I don't feel like oh I just put

like a prom and it's an artwork that it

doesn't feel mine right so it's always

like trying to figure out also how you

can use Ai and all this like

amazing tools that they're available

nowadays and use them as part of your

workflow yeah that's such a beautiful

articulation of that too because I know

sometimes there's a lot of hesitancy

with AI and like you said it is another

tool just like your phone is a tool or

photoshop as a tool it's just being able

to work with it and I love how you've

Incorporated it into your creative

process so I'm looking here in the chat

too um Oliver says I always love Tina's

work than one question from Sandrine

actually this is a this is a good

question is there a material you'd like

to work with but you were afraid to oh

that was like I think like uh let me go

back there is one that I but I did

manage to so I don't know if you've seen

perhaps like uh let I'm going to mute it

play we can play some of this so that

was like the Tok titles I work along

with Pia Shyer amazing textile designer

from Germany and um we worked on

visualizing the concept of like touch so

it was for the T Festival which mean

touch me and we played around with like

tons of different materials and one of

them that we almost skipped was

fire and you can you can understand why

I was scared of that material because I

was I would play around in my studio or

in my house maybe no more Studio yes and

maybe you don't know where it's going to

lead to so in the beginning like we were

like okay we're going to do and then the

moment we were about to experiment we're

like not sure perhaps we drop it but

then in the night I was like I really

need to test that material so I'm going

to try in a small extent and see so we

we decided to just play around in the

sink so in the warar we just open it up

but yeah one of was actually filming yes

that little part and it was very

interesting as well because in all the

experimentations we embedded the

typography in a physical way so it's not

digitally added afterwards okay and on

the fire it was a real challenge because

any material that we were thinking of

creating the type out would set up

either a bigger fire or it would get

burned so wouldn't really stay so we had

to play with a couple of materials and

that was also quite scary yeah making

sure something that stays it still stays

it doesn't get black and horrible like

on the camera and it was like a simple

solution apparently we just spray

painted and even like the spray paint is

actually setting you expect as an

inflatable material that would create a

bigger fire but apparently didn't so

we're very surprised and it did stay

white after like the fire cool well for

such a like beautiful results too like I

love seeing this video and such a um it

it really aligns with the festival so

nicely too like You' really brought in

all of those pieces so yeah and

definitely like if you have time like

check it out later also with sound like

because uh it was a great collaboration

with Jurgen branch and Andy Morgan Davis

that the sound is like another level I

love it so much well we'll have to post

that in the chat um yeah but thank you

Tina so much for joining us today as

always it's such a pleasure to interview

you and see your work um I know we have

some more question in the chat we will

definitely be able to get to those and

share Tina's behance profile and her

website um so you can stay connected but

thank you Tina again for joining us

thank you so much for having me hope you

enjoyed the session thanks everyone and

again we're going to stay live here from

Adobe Max London we are live until 5:30

p.m. local time we could just bring up

the schedule and I'll share who is next

um so as you saw today we had a lot of

great content if you missed it live you

can still catch it on the Adobe live

YouTube channel we have all the

recordings there um up next we're going

to have tips for using AI in video uh

with James Bernard and Michael fugoso um

and Michael was on the main stage

earlier you saw that in the keynote but

um be sure to stay tuned we'll be right

back thanks everyone

what's up everybody hi hey my name is

Michael foso and I'm with my BFF of all

time be at one of the I can't I don't

want to make my other BFFs mad was okay

James Bernard what's up how's it going

well done this morning on the keynote

you lots of energy I feel like you've

come down a little bit now and you're

flagging slightly still have my D hey

dudes I still have a lot of that in

there but I'll try not to put you to

sleep with this we'll see how we go so

James you're the greatest Storyteller

that I know so I'm not kidding so I'm

not

kidding I mean what you can do in like a

matter of w 30 seconds 15 seconds 20

it's just yeah I don't know anyone who

does it better thank you and I'm

thinking you're going to show us how to

do some of that cool stuff I well that's

the nature of Tik Tok having to get your

content underneath one minute or at

least it used to be anyway was kind of

like the limiting factor of like how to

Showcase things like software tips and

tricks uh how to be better freelancer

how to be a better designer one minute

was like the cut off point so trying to

get that point across quickly is quite

hard um so I'm going try and show you

how I do that today and also as like

social media like content creators or

Freelancers we need to do social media

to kind of further our business and this

is how I do it anyway social media and

it you know can be quite a timec

consuming process quite daunting for a

lot of people um you know going faster

in something like premere Pro makes all

the difference when it comes to putting

out regular social media content so

fingers crossed me show you how we're

going to do this today now I have

pre-prepared like here's one I made

earlier I've got an exclusive reel from

my account here you're very lucky uh

this is the real that we're going to um

produce today it's 37 seconds so try not

to fall asleep while hey no no check

this out stay with me we're going to

watch this through and then we're going

to go about how um we're going to edit

this together here we go designers if

you want to extend a path that's at an

angle in Adobe Illustrator you can just

use the direct selection tool and as

long as you have Smart guides turned on

this little line extension label appears

on your path so you know that the angle

of the path is staying the same but the

second you try to do this with multiple

path points well sucks to be you here's

a quick fix extend your first path to

where you want it and direct select the

second path press control or command D

yes this is the transform again tool and

you probably used it before to duplicate

objects so now now you know it works

with paths 2 thanks to dansy for this

tip which I did not know until I watched

his YouTube video so definitely go and

check that out and give him a

follow all right now you're an

illustrated guy did you know that tip no

command D transform again uh I did not

know I didn't either Dany the man showed

me how to do that totally ripped him off

but I credited him at the end of the

video so I'm sure he's fine with that uh

so this is how we're going to go about

putting this together before sorry

before we put that together can you tell

me about your faces that you make oh

okay there there one big one it's just I

don't know why I do that you see on the

front of my laptop there that's my emoji

representation I do it okay I'm Sor I

want to do that's okay that's okay

that's good that's good all right so

when I make a video I am so terrible on

camera I um and I and I stutter my way

through my sentences so I like to write

a script yeah I write a script get it

nice and succinct that way I can just

read to the camera and then say one line

that the time if I forget something or I

messed it up I can just start again and

go back to that line and then this is

what my footage looks like like once

that's been done okay so oh try not to

rename the layer here uh drag this on

lots and lots of brakes in the clip lots

of waveform brakes there so immediately

the first thing I noticed is that as I

drag this onto screen I filmed filmed in

4k that's now way too big for my screen

so I have to click onto this and set the

frame size to 50% that's a pain in the

butt we don't want to be doing that I'm

going to delete this out go up to

premere Pro settings we're going to go

to media and we're going to set our

default media scaling to set a frame

size press okay now when I drag on

footage to my clip keep renaming this

layer this is going to be a pain isn't

it here we go immediately resized this

game so that's saved an issue that I

have to do every single time Photoshop

we're already working faster that's tip

number one let's go okay so in the new

version premere Pro the premere pro beta

and I believe the beta features are

being released in the new version very

soon if not today at some point uh the

this this new feature well not this

isn't a new feature for Prem proa but

immediately this clip has been

transcribed in the transcript panel over

here okay so everything I've said AI has

used it's you know it's done its job and

turned everything that I've um said in

my clip into a transcript for me to work

with and I can use this to navigate

along the timeline so if I select on

different sections here you notice the

playhead is scrubbing along I'm going to

press backlash on my keyboard to put

that timeline in one window and I can

use the text editor here to delete

sections out so I said designers twice

at the start there I can type away

there's a pause break in here I can

click on that press backspace that's now

removed from the timeline it's a

fantastic way of navigating through the

timeline and editing as you go along and

recognizes the space where you've made

mistakes you can just delete out entire

sections um we can also delete by filter

so if I've said the word um uh and I'm

stuttering my way through my lines I can

come up here and I can select something

like filler Words which is like um uh

get rid of all of those with one click

all the pauses that are in my clip there

I can select on pauses press delete

delete all just like that that's amazing

automatically cut together is dude a

that's fantastic dude maybe I don't know

maybe you can set a filter for that oh

yeah feel like it might be okay so if I

zoom into my timeline here uh I can use

a couple of keyboard shortcuts to um

sort of trim this footage so if I want

to trim forward to the next play head I

can press W and I can go in and press Q

to trim back and that way I'm kind of

like tightening things up just a little

bit getting that whe just a little bit

shorter and yeah see I've I've always

known you as a designer I didn't know

you have all

this unicorn I can do all sorts do all

sorts all right so we're editing with

Tex it's fantastic but obviously in

social media it's nice to have captions

on our audio and this transcribed

feature automatically does that of

course so we click on captions up here

and we can go um over on the right hand

side one

second go create captions and I have a

nice little uh preset here which is my

favorite font Futura in yellow I want to

bring this down to 50

characters in length and then make it a

single line click on create captions and

automatically that's put on on another

layer all of my captions inside this

reel I can highlight all of these and in

my Essential Graphics I can change the

style I can change the position of these

on screen bring it up nice and high I

always wanted to ask you about this cuz

I I make my captions in Instagram and it

takes me forever to do so you're doing

it okay in premium Pro sometimes you

know Instagram can be a bit buggy and

those captions a bit of a pain to edit

on your phone using your keyboard is a

lot better way to do this so I can now

dive in here change words when I've said

a name and it hasn't spelled it

correctly or my stupid British accent

has come out weird um in the American

type of you know spelling the word color

always comes out American I can change

it to British English that's always

great okay so we are editing with our

our text features in here we're going to

go into a uh a new sequence here and

demo a couple of other little features

okay so the beautiful thing about this

new version of um premere Pro the beta

version is that it automatically tags

our clips and our audio as such so

you'll notice down the bottom here if I

click on this open up my Essential sound

panel it's automatically tagged this

audio as speech which means we can now

start playing around with it so this is

two clips back to back exactly the same

I'm going to play these for

you can't really hear

it okay so what happened was while I was

recording okay I had my headphones on

the Bluetooth connected it overwrote the

microphone that I'm using here and

started using the audio through the

Bluetooth headphones and it sucked it's

potato quality so now I can you know my

my audio is wrecked I'm using the audio

from the camera which is a few feet away

it's really quiet you can't hear

anything the new features in um the

betat app premere pro has this lovely

button under enhance speech uhoh here we

go enhance nice okay we're just going to

drag the slider up a little bit I want

to hear this though yeah you won't hear

the first

one that's the first

thanks to Dany which I did not

know ridiculous ridic micone exactly

right and we can use this slider here to

mix the ambient audio of our video clip

with the St enhanced speech VI if I just

drag this down a little bit maybe that

sounding a little bit robotic we can mix

in the background audio a little bit and

we get a nice thanks to Dany for this

tip which I did not know beautiful shout

out to Dany no we're going to talk about

him a fair bit uh okay now if I unmute

my background audio track here I'm also

just going to um clear my in and out so

it doesn't repeat you'll notice that the

audio track

is way too loud my my audio is

completely destroying my vocals um

fantastic thing about this new essential

sound panel is that it's automatically

tagged that as um music and then we can

go to the loudness section of our Clips

here expand this open and we can press

auto match which brings down the level

audio I do the same with uh Speech as

well hopefully now thanks to dansy for

this tip which I did not know so that's

automatically duck the audio brought my

V my vocals up a little bit um it's kind

of hard to hear on the speaker here but

it did just I heard something yeah I

heard some yeah okay all right so this

is a brilliant feature which basically

saves you a load of time about changing

levels it does AI does its best to kind

of work out like where those audio

levels could be and obviously you can

correct it with these little handles

here dragging up and down it's easy

peasy what's the six between 6 and 12

don't ask me I'm not a video editor you

know I was getting massive impostor

syndrome about having to do this today

no way uh but I've made like something

like 380 videos for social so I'm

getting up there with with the big dogs

I think it's it's just refreshing to

hear this I mean awesome if you're an

amazing you know you if you've been

doing video editing all your life and

stuff that's awesome but it's nice to

just hear this from like a designer's

perspective yeah and like not my

strongest suit but feel like I should be

doing social media content to further my

business I I need to get my head around

I honestly think that's where a lot of

us most of us are probably all right

another new feature in the Premier Pro

beta beta beta beta beta English accent

uh is the um interactive handles here on

the clip so I just used my keyboard

shortcut Zed which is um add edit if you

go to Premier Pro keyboard shortcuts I

added my own one in here which is Zed is

what it used to be add edit every time I

press Zed on my um keyboard here it

makes a cut in my wherever the playhead

was so Zed we cut that clip and I can

use that to trip backwards and forwards

you'll see on the where the cut is we've

got this weird little box that's just

shown up here if I drag on this little

tiny little box here and go left it's

adding an auto fade into my audio here

now if I'm still holding and holding and

pull down and pull up I can change the

curve of that fade bring it down called

Auto fade it's called this is the the

new interactive

handles there uh one other brilliant

feature if I just undo that and take the

same uh handle if I drag the other way

and I go right it will then blend those

two clips together holding up or down I

can automatically Stitch those and use

those curves to kind of filter that

thing so if you're blending from one

clip to another or your audio is fading

or you've got like a harsh bit of audio

that's really loud suddenly going into

something else sometimes there like a

little mini pop that goes in between you

used to have to add like a cross fade

effect or something like drag it on

tweak it immediately those handles are

saving time already really great stuff

really quick everybody if you have

questions for James feel free to let us

know we we'll go into questions probably

towards the end sure well yeah feel free

to ask me put put them in now you know

we'll get to okay okay uh another thing

I'd like to talk about is um this lovely

new feature called autod ducking so

sometimes sorry auto ducking okay you'll

see what I'm okay okay let's just zoom

out of here find this clip we've got a a

raw piece of footage here with a massive

pause in the middle of our um of my sort

of speech here I'm just using this as an

example not now until I watched this

YouTube video the music is way too loud

there's a pause in there so what we can

do is we can select this audio clip here

scroll down in our essential sound panel

we're going to go to

ducking going to turn this on with our

checkbox and making sure that this

little duck against dialogue tag is done

up here we just going to leave these at

the sort of default settings we can then

scroll down a bit more and click on

generate key frames and that's going to

take our audio whenever I'm talking it's

going to pull the the level of the music

down when I stopped talking I going to

bump it back up again and now this you

might want to play around with the

sensitivity settings of this Downer this

probably AIT did not know watch this

YouTube

video comes the audio while I'm pausing

back down when I'm start to talk again

definitely go and check that out comes

back again talking head video style

right so I I do this kind of all the

time with my videos at the end of the

video sometimes I might like to show um

some stills of the work that I've done

and while I've been talking the

background and audio has been nice and

low I can use this feature to duck

against uh my dialogue here which is

automatically even signed do the same

thing drag this back go to ducking turn

it on Duck against our dialogue check

this box scroll down generate key

frames scroll back a little bit

please and our audio is coming in over

those Stills that have no dialogue the

audio is nice and passing through um now

we can do that and at the end of this

clip we can then uh just cut it off with

my lovely Zed keyboard shortcut delete

that out and then we can use our

interactive handle to fade that music

out a little bit at the end which is a

lovely nice

little perfect or we can use a feature

that is in um premere Pro now which is

called the remix tool so if I just press

backlash on my keyboard here select our

clip we can go over to this little bad

boy called the remix to if you haven't

seen this before it's under Ripple edit

drag this down hit on remix bango bongo

this music track has a natural ending to

it that Fades out and sometimes you

might have an audio track that has a an

ending that the compos put in you might

want to use that at the end of your clip

but then you're you're cutting your clip

you're putting the end towards the end

of your clip and trying to stitch it

together the remix St kind of does all

that hard work for you so all I have now

have to do is just select this drag it

back it will analyze that clip for a

second and you'll notice these little

zigzag breakes in there that's

automatically done that job of sort of

DJ mix DJ Mix right so you made the pH

two I'm sorry I got to call that out I

love it so you see these little um

crisscross zigzag handles here I'm going

to solo this audio track see if you can

hear the

difference uhhuh seamless absolutely

seamless okay you can't hear any think

at all fantastic all right so you saw

that clip at the start of the video

that's how I like to work at the end of

the video I use dany's uh YouTube

tutorial and I gave him a credit always

credit yeah uh so let's say um I'm not

going to get his approval but let's say

I wanted to get dany's approval for that

end of that video I can then use this uh

new feature inside uh Premier Pro beta

and I'm going to highlight an in andout

point of this clip so actually to do

that you just go to wherever you want to

highlight press I for out go to the end

of your clip press o sorry in for I for

in O for out I can come up to my

frame.io tab up here okay frame.io is

the place where it's a great resource

for getting um feed back on your videos

um this is now built into Premier

approach so you can upload your footage

directly to frame. AIO so if I just

click on upload up here I'm going to go

active sequence this is the one that

we're working on and I can either upload

the whole thing for him to take a look

at and generate a link for him to share

or I can choose the in andout section

that I just made which is the only bit

that referred to him um maybe if you

just want a certain section of your

video signed off by a client you can do

that click on upload and that's going to

pull a version a very low reses version

of that so it goes up quickly I can then

generate a share link to that via just a

URL so they can send off for approval

and that's all being handled inside

Premier Pro no going out to the app and

uploading anywhere automatically tagging

it from here there we go I haven't this

is a brand new Mac I haven't never

turned this on before so it's trying to

do it but anyway uh yeah so that's it

and uh and then pretty cool though right

that's awesome I've used it with a

couple of adobe product projects

actually and it works really you someone

that had like a ton of those like

physical hard drives everywhere yeah

yeah lot easier than that is it so

that's why that's why frame is such a

game changer anyway so that's it man

yeah we got like a few minutes for Q&A s

minutes to go everybody um if you all

yeah feel free to ask any questions you

have I can ask you questions while we

for for more questions shoot um I just

love your

storytelling and you must have a lot of

inspiration behind all the story maybe

like dude there has to be like movies

that you pull from right I mean honestly

no I'm no it's like like the main way I

I focus my social media content is

there's problem in the software or

there's a problem in my daily life as a

designer how do I solve that problem in

a way that I can explain in a minute so

maybe it's something like a software

problem or like um something to do with

illustrator my job is basically to try

and figure out what the problem that the

most people will have and then use

software or videos to try and solve that

problem in a very succinct tight way and

the you know these quick editing

features so it makes it so fast now like

my process is like I'm so impatient like

when I come up with an idea for I have

to get it out there straight I can't sit

on it for

days of a creative just I'm just

absolutely buzzing all the time I have

to get this out I can't I can't wait to

share it so I will pull an idea from a

list that I have I'll script it and film

it and probably within about 2 or 3

hours which might be long for some

people but for me that's that's pretty

quick I've got a video out and I'm ready

to post in that afternoon so about 2 to

3 hours is usually my turn around time

and I won't be able to do that without

these amazing features yeah D okay I

have one question

here um where's your luggage man did

somebody ask that someone asked my

luggage is in he somewhere I came from

Australia missed my connecting flight my

luggage is in Heath R somewhere so I'm

sponsored by super dry today cuz I went

shopping uh earlier on and I didn't even

have any boxing shorts so um yeah not

great not great I got some you if you

need some thanks I got some we're not

that close well all right so I'll tell

you what I struggle with a lot with um

with video is finding the right songs I

noticed that you're always the best you

choose the best soundtracks for your

stuff there's two ways to do that though

so well really I I just I always go to

because it's a kind of a trendy thing

and it's a like a safe thing to do to go

for like low five beats you know but I'm

start I'm starting to feel like people

are getting tired of that a little bit

and want something like cuz you you have

like high energy music well there's two

types of reals there's ones with

dialogue and yes don't choose an audio

track that's going to clash with any

dialogue and I used to go for like jazz

tracks

like but a saxophone I found or a

trumpet really kind of goes over the top

of dialogue so you know um Parish jazz

guitar that always works really well but

then sometimes you do you're working

with a video and you're posting it to

somewhere like Instagram and it doesn't

have any dialogue it's just me acting on

camera I can use a clip um from a

existing song and that's where my age

comes into play I I'm pushing 40 this

year my music tastes is properly

eclectic when I put something like Phil

Collins in there people love that so

that's always popular you're pushing 40

this year when are you turn 40 December

I'm turning 40 this year I turned 41

this year wow you don't look 40 we made

it we made it I got the salt and paper I

got the salt and pepper you know one's

in The Bard go man so we got okay

so let's talk about Instagram for a

second like a lot of oh actually RAR how

do you okay this is a great question

from Keys what's up keys keys how do you

get ideas for your videos that's

actually kind of what I was going to ask

you too yeah so mainly it's just because

I'm still working with clients and

facing issues in the software all the

time anytime I find that I have to

Google something like how to I've just

had to fix I need to try and fix it

somehow in a w illustrator I'll write

that on a list and I've got this list of

ideas I would show it to you but I'm giv

away you know my future releases but I

have a list of content and I'll just

like pull from that list it'll be around

like software tips and tricks it might

be around you know something to do with

design like a principle of design that I

feel like I don't really know enough

about I want to learn about like why do

we use um CMYK ink and prins versus RGB

why can't we just use red green and blue

ink and prin that those questions I

should know the answer to sometimes you

know I don't and I will go and look it

up and immediately after I've learned it

to make it stick in my head I'll teach

it to somebody else kind hard wise it in

my brain I think that's something

awesome that you do is you teach it to

them in like language that everybody

understands I think that's a really key

thing that you do that's really really

awesome okay thank you what I wanted to

ask you too cuz uh this is a question I

get a lot and I'm a very low volume

Instagram poster but I see you're like

wow I I wish I was like I wish I could I

know a lot of the tips that you show

today help speed up your process but

what other tips can you give all of the

homies here in London and every and

everybody like what keeps you going in

turning about I don't know three videos

a week three videos a week is it's like

the the enough to avoid burnout any more

than that it starts to get a bit hard

any more than three yeah and and I

follow this guy AB Legend his name is

Jamie brindle he is a um freelance Guru

he talks about like the 50% rule okay so

50% of your time should be on your

current clients 50% of your time should

be on driving new business and new

business for me is social media every

time I'm making a video I'm trying I'm

teaching designers and that's fantastic

but I'm also showing to clients like

yeah I'm the expert maybe so you know I

am face I love it oh yeah so doing this

social media content totally sets me as

the expert in the industry which drives

more clients so half of my time is doing

this and three videos a week that's a

lot to do so hopefully these tips that

we've talked about today will speed that

up for a few people but yeah it's a lot

of work it's quite daunting isn't it

when you have like especially video

content is quite time consuming right

three a week seems to be the sort of

three a week is a sweet spot for me yeah

yeah so okay you mentioned okay we have

about a minute and a half here this

probably might be the last question

unless someone else has one really quick

oh have you fixed audio with any AI soft

oh you showed a few of them right there

kind of yeah I'm not I'm I I used to

play the drums and I was a music

producer uh but yeah AI software in

audio is pretty exciting some stuff

coming out on a w audition that looks

absolutely incredible yeah the remix

tool for me at the minute remix tool

easy way to do it yeah all right so what

I was going to ask you cuz you said yeah

you are a unicorn man you do everything

so good video design what do you enjoy

the most out of all your creative

Outlets though is it design is it video

it's the logos the logos for me hands

down canvas creating a brand from

scratch from absolutely and just an idea

or a few Concepts that is absolutely

beautiful to me there's no more

rewarding part of the industry and

that's a big part of it is like finding

a part of the industry that you enjoy

the most uh actually leads through a you

know rewarding career and logo design

for me is that just yeah that helps you

just keep going and going right like uh

that's right all right well dang James

thanks we're about we're about there you

know um I think you to have a nap now I

might I might honestly I'm just being

honest with everybody yeah brought the

energy earlier I'm trying to get my

we're looking splend

sorry yeah hello and welcome to adob

life live from Adobe Max London I'm

extremely excited to be here today the

event is amazing everyone is having so

much fun there are tons of people

walking around enjoying all the latest

updates of the Creative Cloud and

there's so much good talk going on and I

have the huge honor to speak with yonak

today yes hello how are you good and you

I'm always good as you

know awesome how's Max been for you so

far oh Max has been great I've been

meeting a lot of uh fellow illustrators

and connecting to people and getting to

know new people so it's a really good

time and also saw the keynote this

morning was really interesting stuff so

I've been enjoying it really well that

sounds amazing hello also to everyone

who's joining us online hello to the

chat I see there are a couple of people

already hi it's good to have you around

and whenever I'm looking into to this

direction my eyes are all on you Chad so

whenever you have questions for Yas let

us know um I'm very happy to forward

them to you awesome I'll gladly answer

as

well youas what's on our list today

today I'm going to show you a pin my

design forby Max London it's this one

here I'm not sure if you can see it well

yes I think we can it looks great oh

thank you thank you very much um I put a

lot of effort into the design and the

concept behind it um I'm actually really

proud of it um but I'll explain it to

you all the ins and outs um but yeah I'm

super happy with how it looks and uh

yeah I find it fantastic yeah perfect

before we dive into that project which

you've done just for adob Max in London

um let's have a look at your portfolio

because your work is amazing and it has

such a unique style and a unique touch

yeah thank you thank you very much um so

um my portfolio the kind of work I do is

um everything that involves cool

illustrations you know I like to do

illustrations for Branding but also

merchandizing which is definitely

applicable in this case um but they also

paint murals and stuff so everything

that involves like cool illustration is

the kind of thing I do and maybe I can

highlight a couple of things yes let's

have a look um perhaps I can show you

this project I did for Jordan it's um

it's all like because of the stream is

focused on variables I think it's maybe

cool to show this one um this is a

project I've done for Jordan in China I

not sure I can't pronounce the name of

the store but um it's released in China

just before Co and the whole idea was to

like combine basketball and music and

public transports which are very famous

top public um very um very uh there are

topics that uh the people over there are

very interested in let's say um so I

combine like all these things into an

illustration and you can see like

there's a guitar with a basketball in it

and here you can see like a basketball

with a train track around it so I like

to combine that kind of like conceptual

approach to my

illustrations um it's cool to see that

you have so many thoughts behind your

illustrations so it's not just the the

first thing you would think of but it's

really detailed and you're thinking

about how to communicate the thoughts

behind in the best way yeah yeah that's

definitely uh something I try to do with

my illustration work uh I always try to

apply like a conceptual layer to it um

so it's more than just a nice picture

you know it has like meaning and stuff

so I find that really important now just

noticed my website is not working very

well actually well it might be the

internet here um because there are so

many people around and everyone is

trying to get the bits and pieces off

yeah the one Wi-Fi we have yeah and

maybe another one I can show you is a

personal project of mine um I've always

wanted to experiment with like um tattoo

designs is something I'm really

interested in and I'm really inspired by

as well so I figured like whilst it's

loading I'll tell you about it but um I

wanted to really try it out but I wanted

to give it like um more of a application

you know not just like a tattoo

onstration on its own but more actually

like what am I going to use it for and I

figured like maybe I can create a cool

pattern out of it m but then like what

do I do with the pattern and I thought

like okay where can I bring something

cool and I was thinking like okay

costume designs are really very formal

you know and I was thinking like what if

I create like this really cool fancy

suit and that's what I did so I created

like these illustrations then I applied

it to like um these these mockups and

they're very nice I really love this

project I love that you went for the

inside so solid black on the outside and

then on the inside there's all of the

fun going on yeah yeah yeah exactly yeah

and I think like black is always stylish

you know we're both R in Black you and I

but then having this kind of really like

interesting pattern in the inside makes

it really cool you know it looks amazing

awesome so it should be dive into to the

pin design perhaps yes you've been

showing projects for fabrics for for

clothes to wear and now this project was

you call it the variable art piece which

is absolutely true and before we um

before the stream we were catching up

already and I asked you yeah variables

what does it mean and how did you get

into that so can you maybe give just a

little intro of what wearables are for

you well wearables are I think

everything that evolves into wearing

your own art whether it's like a t-shirt

or a pin or something I think that's

what it means to me you know yeah um if

that's sufficient of course no anything

is sufficient of course um I'm not sure

I'd love to do remove these these uh

guides I'm not sure how to do it because

it's in

French um but let's

May oh thank you very much shortcut is

the way to go yeah thank you um so um

perhaps I should tell a bit about so um

I was asked to create a pin for Max um

and the first thing I always do um is

brainstorm on paper I find it really

important to write down notes and stuff

and the briefing for this one was to

create something about community so I

thought like okay what's Community Well

Community or people what's Adobe Adobe

is design and what's design design is

tools pencils and then so on and so on

so I try to make like visual connections

you know and then for me it was a a case

of doing like what does design and

people look like together you know as a

design um so that was the question I

wanted to solve so I started like

thumbnailing really quick and honestly I

never show this to anyone but because

like I find it really important to be

transparent and also with AI everything

looks really nice and perfect I thought

maybe I should show this like I never

showed this to any client but I thought

like this is quite an essential part of

process really thumbnailing but you

should it looks really cool yeah but for

me the quality is not there to present

to the client it's just for myself

checking in with ideas creating as much

as possible so I looked at these and I

was really interested bit of oniz

circles like so I was thinking like

Community is people chatting to each

other so people chatting looking at each

other and then uh when I when I Dre that

I thought oh maybe a butterfly is nice

as well so it's nicely designed and then

okay what's what's Adobe design so

design is a pencil and I feel maybe the

pencil in the middle could become like

the body of the butterfly so that's sort

of the co conceptual approach I like to

do um and after I was doodling I was

also thinking like what reference makes

sense in this kind of like Community

context and I was I'm super inspired by

vintage stuff as well so I looked into

these kind of 7s references hippies

flower power um so I infused all that

into my design um and then this um is a

rough sketch and I made it into this

it's still like all right but it misses

something you know um so I presented

this to these guys and it was like a

very good idea and then what's next for

me is sort of refining and what I like

to do in refining is look at references

again and I mentioned before I'm really

inspired by like traditional tattoos so

I was looking at these Butterflies from

traditional tattoos and getting inspired

by the shapes and I sort of like try two

different options one that's a bit safer

and one bit more curly tails and I

thought like this one was the better

fitting one the bottom

one um so yeah it looks super cool I

love the combination now that I know the

concept behind it it makes so much sense

a great job yeah oh thank thank you very

much um so yeah when I did like the

redraw and this is like um the sort of

rough sketch I wanted to set it up

nicely for illustrator so I can like

pencil it nicely um and check in with

the colors and the the balance and stuff

and this what you see is like um it's

not really a finalized color palette but

it's just for me to like work with a

couple of colors you know yeah so I can

like see the balance and stuff um so

what I've did after this was go into

illustrator uh um and vectorized all the

all the the

lines um and what I usually do then um

is fill it in with the life life paint

tool but I just noticed we're a bit

short on time perhaps so I just skip it

for now perhaps that's good yeah okay um

so I've already set set it up here

um as you can see the lines are really

like clean because I penciled them in

illustrator um I don't really work all

my illust

illustration is an illustrator but

because I knew it was like a pin design

everything needs to be clean and crisp

so I figured like illustration is

illustrator is the best tool for the job

you know um does this mean you're

switching between tools constantly yeah

it depends on the application of course

like for instance a pin design needs to

be clean and sharp but then uh for other

applications I'm happy to use Photoshop

it it really depends on the on what the

client wants on the briefing and such

you know that makes sense um so yeah um

and what I actually did for the color

palette was um use the new generative

color option so maybe I should like show

it perhaps um this is in French I'm not

able to speak

French um so I'm not sure what to do

okay we can we can also skip that part

and you just tell me a bit more how you

how you did the process just explain it

a little bit oh okay so I used the

generative recaller one and it's the one

where you can like type in prompts to

create color variations and I was typing

in like flower power hippie and it

created like a couple of variations and

then uh in the end I landed on um this

color it wasn't exactly that but I twed

it to my liking I I personally really

enjoy using like very bold and bright

colors um so it was a bit duller than

that but um because I like it so much it

just bumped up the contrast you know

know and I also really like using like

contrasting complimentary color so um

it's very technical perhaps but like you

got like yellow and if you look at the

full color wheel on the other end is

purple then it creates like a nice

contrast with the recolor artwork you

really have a nice control over where

you push the the dots yeah exactly yeah

that's exactly how it goes you know yeah

um and then for the cart design I look

back at my references because um I

needed to be reminded of what I was

looking at you know and I saw these kind

of like shapes here like the rainbow

shapes and the uh the Sun and stuff and

I thought maybe that's like a nice segue

into doing the card

because I wanted to highlight the pin

design really so because because of that

I made like the sun behind it you know

um so yeah that's sort of my process I

think um and then I can maybe show you

maybe for the viewers at home I got like

a mockup so this is like the final

product with the pin um as you see I use

a lot of references and stuff and then

for um the final I made like I I hired

someone to create mockup so really if

they can't see it from here they can see

it here um so yeah that's a bit of like

behind the scenes of what I did for the

PIN for Max awesome I really like the

combination of 70s feeling plus the

traditional tattoo artworks yeah that's

super cool I can totally picture that as

as a tattoo yeah yeah yeah well it's

sort of things I'm influenced by and I

like to combine things from different

areas uh whether it's tattoing whether

it's like other vintage stuff and I

think that's sort of how I approach my

projects get as much inspiration

references from everywhere and then

combine them all into my own sort of

artwork very nice Yeah we actually have

a hi in the chat from maybe here oh I

can't read I can't read it oh sorry it's

too far I can't read it hi back at the

chat it's good to see everyone there um

if you have questions let us know um

otherwise I have a question for you so

you've been an illustrator for quite a

while now yeah how do you stay inspired

or what's exciting for you in the future

as an illustrator because there are so

many changes going on and you know

everyone is talking about AI generated

images but let's maybe start with your

inspiration and your drive that you have

on a daily base that keeps you going

yeah so I'm an illustrator as you say

indeed but um I also do a lot of design

work where I actually do sometimes more

graphic design and I feel that sort of

thing like the combination of doing

illustration and graphic design it sort

of keeps things fresh for me you know so

I probably if I would do illustration

every day it would be I'm not I don't

want to say become boring but it would

be sort of the same thing every day what

I really like about being like a

freelancer is to be able to do

illustration one day then design the

other day and because of that that combo

I get influenc by B ends and then that

makes it way into in in into each other

you know um but then on the topic of AI

it's also like a tricky one I guess um I

don't personally use AI to be honest

because as I mentioned before I really

like the concept of like um concept is

super important for me and um I

sometimes when I look at AI stuff it

looks really nice on the surface but

then there's I

sometimes maybe see there just lack

lacks a bit of concept depth yeah in

them so that's what I really want to do

with my work and I'm a digital

illustrator and I learned like

illustrating in a digital way but right

now I really like to go back to pencil

and paper and as you saw like try out

different things multiple things really

quick to see how it looks and that

analog approach inspires me a lot as

well I agree and seeing your sketches

before was really interesting because

you also see the thought process behind

yeah that's cool and it for me it's

always a bit like meditation whenever I

can sketch and work on my own artworks

really from beginning to the end and the

process itself makes me think and

inspires me again to do other projects

oh yeah for sure yeah that process I

think process for me is one of the most

important things like doing that on

paper and not like on the computer and

um that kind of stuff is really

important for me and I don't have one

fixed process for every project it

changes every project also because of

the timeline you know sometimes but um

yeah I think the more diversity I can

bring into the way I work what I do the

more I get inspired by all the things

that I do you know absolutely agree I

think it's a how how would you call it

it's a it's a full circle full circle

yeah C experience it best and I also

come from web design and web development

background so I've got like um all these

sort of skills that I don't really

advertise online but I do like to en

like use them for for instance in this

case where I need to like I know like

the pin is the the the champion of this

design you know so I wanted to highlight

it with the beams and then create like a

nice suiting text in the same style of

what I've going for you know so I know

like I try to be conscious about all

those things and then combine them into

one projects David oku was here before

and he had his live stream going on and

what he did last year he had stickers

that you could scan with your phone and

then it turned into a tiny AR exhibition

okay I think that would be something

really cool for the pin oh yeah that

would be awesome yeah I can't animate

myself so uh I need someone to do it for

me but we will we will figure out

something that would be awesome that

would be

awesome so you also brought this really

nice book here oh

yeah because I'm whenever we meet you

have new merch for yourself yeah to and

stuff to show your work which is really

exciting and beautiful and I'm very

impressed with your work oh thank you

thank you very much you're so good in

working actually and connecting people

so I'm I'm really happy to have this one

here I will take that home with me I

love the black and white one oh thank

you yeah I find it really important like

on events like this um I try to find

unique ways of like um doing that kind

of stuff you know and I always like the

idea for this book is like when I when I

get to know people instead of like me

searching up the sorry them searching up

my name on Instagram on their phone and

then just giving it a quick follow and

then that's it yeah I thought maybe I

could maybe print a little book of mine

all my work is in there all my best work

let's say yeah um give it to them and

then they bring it back to the office

and then they put it on the desk and

maybe one day if the right project comes

along they can contact me that's sort of

the way I I like to do things it's like

an an extended visit card uh uh card

yeah business card yeah exactly yeah

that's how I and I feel like as a

Freelancers you all need to be on top of

those things and always like trying to

meet new people and to be honest though

I'm not the best at it uh I I consider

myself a little social awkward sometimes

and my girlfriend will definitely

approve of this I cannot confirm so far

I cannot confirm um but I try to like do

this kind of stuff to like really get

out there and get to know people you

know so yeah so for everyone who's

around here make sure to grab your bin

later on at the community Booth here

because we have a couple of them left

but they're limited so be fast always

have a look at yuna's Social profiles or

catch him at the event or somewhere else

to get this really lovely book yeah Yas

it's always a pleasure to have you here

yeah no worries no worries my pleasure

it was awesome chatting about the

process of the pin um I had a really

good time doing this so yeah thanks to

you guys thank you great work awes and

thanks everyone for watching I see many

more compliments here um you're doing a

really great job oh thank you please

hello and welcome to Adobe live I'm so

excited to be here with Lucy Street who

I just finally got to meet for the first

time today thanks for joining thank you

for having me yeah um I I am Jordan

Ellis I'm an adobe Express evangelist in

the US and Lucy I'll let you introduce

yourself I am the Adobe Express

evangelist I'm based in Cardiff in the

UK so I had a slightly shorter trip here

than you did so yeah yeah and so we both

love Express and love talking about it

um and that's what we're going to do a

little bit of today but I am going to be

hanging out with chat answering any

questions especially if you have

questions about Express or your girls um

but what are we what are we making today

so today we're creating some social

media content um we are a workout brand

a immersive workout app so we're

channeling the Miami Beach Vibes today

this amazing yeah yeah so this is

actually our client's brand so I have

created my designs in illustrator so

that's where I like to create them but

um when I work with clients it's great

to um create an illustrator but then

when it comes to them wanting to update

any assets if they want to change the

images or any of the texts sometimes

that's a bit of a struggle if they're

not designers themselves if they're not

used to illustrator so that's where

Express comes in handy so what we can do

is from the homepage we can start from

your content it opens up my files you

can see we have some of our brand assets

here and then at the bottom I'm just

going to drop in our social templates so

this is an Adobe Illustrator file if I

swap over to illustrator you you can see

the kind of Vibes that we're going for

here this is so cute you can see we have

all the layers all the good stuff so

what Express is doing now it is reading

our illustrator file it's noticing all

the shapes all the text that we have and

now it is ready to open so we can just

open that up that's so cool that you can

like especially if you prefer designing

an illustrator you know better you don't

have to learn a new product to use the

cool features and express you can drag

your stuff in so you can see it's

opening up now the uh background image

is loading so all of our layers are on

the right hand side I can just group

these so what I love about Express as

well is that all of the keyboard

shortcuts that you're used to do on

illustrator or photoshop we can use on

Express so I just use command G to group

these objects together and now they're

ready to

go so first thing I want to do is I want

to swap out this uh background image so

we can go over to Media along the left

hand side now I could upload from my

device or I can choose from the and I

remembered this number 248 million

photos we have we can access straight

from uh Adobe Express um uh the Adobe

stock images but I'm going to do text to

image and I'm going to select so we can

select Square landscape portrait or WID

screen I'm going to select um portrait

and I'm just going to pop in the prompt

so we've got a Beat at Sunrise with a

graffiti wall pastel color palette and

then I'm going to select photo and then

we have these Styles here and it's a bit

of a running joke that I always uh uh

generate everything out of yarn okay

we're not going to do that today cuz

we're staying on brand totally fitting

but okay so we're just going to generate

um a photo and see what it comes up with

but I love to use this if my client um

doesn't have brand images it's great to

generate stuff um to use instead or even

if you're just making up a concept you

can just generate something super

quickly and use that and then you can go

into the um brand photo shoot knowing

the kind of vibe that you're going for

yeah okay we have this

generation what do we think I like it

there those four options are pretty

great too so yeah so it's generated four

options for us I like that one I love

the color palette yeah I love how the

graffiti makes a little bit edgy doesn't

it yeah should we go for this one or

should we load we can load more if we're

not happy with any of them these colors

are good they're like I'm there did you

say at Sunset I forget your prompt was

so the prompt was at Sunrise with a

pastel color palette as well so I only

actually noticed recently that you can

actually include the color palette into

your prompt and that works as well

that's great okay I actually kind of

like the second round more that one

yeah or that oh man that's a tough

choice I'll let you pick you're decided

this one I'm tempted either this one or

this one your favorite let's go for this

one I like how it draws you in so we can

click off that and if I go back in so

the picture is now dropped onto our

artboard so we can go in add any text or

elements um anything that we want or if

I select on the layer again we have

generative fill remove background we can

even go in text the image and we can

alter our prompt so I'm actually going

to do generative fill now can we ask the

chat what regenerate in the sky yeah

friends what do you want to see anyone's

watching I don't know what our delay is

like so we'll see we can change up the

my favorite thing when I first started

using genil is I would do like a flock

of birds and then I would do a flock of

bats and we get so spooky we should not

probably do that here but that's why I

just did in my session generated a flock

of Biz but what we could do is we could

do a UFO yeah yeah yeah

yeah this is always

fun can just swap out the Vibe that's

what's fun about I mean yeah but it is a

design process in itself isn't it

generating like sometimes I kind of know

what I want to generate but I can't

necessarily put it into words so what I

can do is if you start small and then

it's just a process Paul is jumping in

the background putting us

off it's a process so you know you can

start with something very vague and then

build it up as you go and one tip for

prompting that I find really useful is

if you start small start with the object

and work out so you could do like an

iPad on the desk in the countryside with

bats in the sky with a UFO in the sky

and you can build out from there that is

that's one way I like to think about it

so otherwise if I've got this this image

in my head and I'm trying to describe it

all at once it's really difficult so if

you think start small and you can build

make sure you like it that's such a good

way to do it so we have a UFO do we want

to stick with this

UFO um we have the idea of dragon

a dragon would that work oh two separate

dragons so that's the winner oh I was on

um I flewed to M Munich last week and I

was on Adobe live so have you seen my

bagel brand closing around so I was

showing the bagel brand and I was asking

the chat what to generate um and someone

said a plain

bagel

well which tickled me that got to me I

love that uh what are we generating a

dragon a dragon

yeah this is going to be great

it's always interesting so it uses

basically it works off of adobe stock am

I right yeah so whatever's in Adobe

stock we can generate so it's good to

know that you can feel free to use these

images wherever you want on your

campaign you can post them you can use

them okay oh is that a dragon that is a

dragon or is that a bat this is a bat

dragon wait a bragon look at the bottom

one that one's like about to land that

looks like Spyro oh my God I used to

love SP as a kid okay we're keeping that

I like that and it like matches the

color palette greates that's what I love

so it kind of it can read our artboard

and then takes the you know the context

and the color palette which is great oh

it makes me want to play Spyro now so I

think we're going to keep this and we're

going to select done so this is of

course we are creating a social media

post so it's generated our image and

then over to the right hand side we have

our layer panel so I'm just going to

drag our little dragon do we have a name

for the Dragon ask the chat if we can

have a name for the dragon so I would go

for Spyro but we have a Spyro already

let us know so let us know so I feel

like he'll have a good Dragon name but

let's see yeah so we have our blue

background so now I'm not really loving

the color of this blue anymore so what I

can actually do is I can select into our

group and you see we have shape so what

Express is done is recognized that we

have a shape from illustrator and when

we moved it over it is a shape and EXP

press as well so we can go in and we can

change the

fill and now this is our brand colors so

I uploaded our brand previously so it

can stay on track so cuz I'm the kind of

person I so easily go off track and I'm

I need my blinkers on especially when I

work with clients sometimes like I work

so hard to create the brand and then two

weeks later they post to social media

and of course they've used different

colors different fonts so it's nice to

have our brand there keep my blinkers on

can't go anywhere else but to

the now should we add a little bit of

text a little bit of Animation do you

think yes and we have some dragon names

we have Draco we have

maxina um we have Mo Beast which is my

personal favorite Spike sinky sketchy

Sparky wow we really we got a lot we

should we should generate a family it's

like the reindeers what were the

reindeer names like Rudolph yeah Su no

not that's a rabbit anyway um so we're

going to add some

text so we are I want to create a little

animation that is like my vision a

little spinning animation so to announce

that our app is just launched so we go

if I type

in out

now out now twice and then on the left

hand side we can see we have all of our

different Tex settings now if you used

to Illustrated Photoshop these will look

very familiar so on the first one if we

select that we can also at the bottom go

down to more fonts now this is where we

have access to

25,000 you know

I I know I memorized them especially for

today good job so we can go in and

select any of these now there's two

things I'm a sucker for and that's a

good that's a a a bold font and a bit of

texture so we're adding my lovely font

now we can come back to the texture if I

go back you can see at the very top we

have our brand fonts again with my

blinkers I can't select anything else

and I'm just going to select our brand

font which is great now under text

layout we can have default which is the

default yep Dynamic which will fill the

text box Circle Arch or bow so I'm

actually going to go for

Circle and then we can just drag him

down sleep on Circle that's such a good

yeah this is so fun so if I zoom in a

little bit here we can see what we're

working on so along the top toolbar I

can just align it snap it straight to

the center to make sure it's on point

now I love watching other people use

express cuz I forget about all these

buttons I'm like oh yeah aine's right

there thanks for reminding me that's

great I know and I love to see how

people do things cuz I think if you gave

like the same like brief to everyone

everyone would do things slightly

differently so it's really fun to see

yeah so I'm going to duplicate this

again with my keyboard shortcuts I'm

going to select option and just drag

them out duplicates it very easily so

now with this one I'm going to go over

to the sidebar and you can see we have

fill and outline and I'm just going to

hit these buttons in between and that'll

just swap them out and now I want the

top layer to have the outline but to

have no fill okay so I'm going to go

into fill and just select this one with

the red line no

fill and then we're going to overlap

them this was the trick I was waiting to

see how you did going to make sure y so

that's centered all right so now this

bottom layer which is the one with the

fill we're going to drag this behind our

graphic so we have this little effect

here now that looks really funky

but what I want to do is I want to make

sure these are spinning I'm actually

going to go back in and reduce this

outline thickness very slightly so we

can see yeah okay looks bit better so

now I want to make these spinning so

what do we do go over to the left hand

side and we can actually add an

animation so this is where we can add in

looping or out so I'm going to add a

looping and then we have all of these

funky little options we can have bobbing

we can have breathe we can have yoyo the

animations are so interesting too

because depending on what you're

clicking on it's wildly different like

some some of these look great with

certain yeah options and some of them

you're like oh oh that's wild yeah I

know the Bob um is is so funny in like

to make like a CI that from Max from

last year I noticed that that sick but

we're going to go to spin I love the

spin especially when you can slow it

down yeah so we can change the

personality now I didn't actually know

that animations could have personalities

but they can so we can have soft smooth

strong energetic and Loud um we can

change up the intensity so we can have

him spinning like

or we can just bring it down to maybe 10

we can have it spinning nicely but we

don't want to freak people out and then

you can change the direction keep it

clockwise and then what I'm going to do

is just apply the exact same animation

settings to our bottom layer as our top

layer so again looping spin uh and crank

this up just to

10 and then you can see that now we've

added the animation this is now changed

from a static post to now a video

yeah so if I hit

play that looks we have this Bund effect

yes it's so fun I love the effect that

it creates I love that isn't it so cool

and um someone asked in the chat is this

a tool for hobbyists it's a tool for

anyone who wants to make things quickly

so like as Lucy pulled in an illustrator

file you can be a professional designer

and just want to add in animations or

you can start from never having designed

any anything ever before like I started

using Express that way so it's really

for whoever which is why I love it and I

love the tools that we have there you've

got like the essential ones but we're

not crowded with all of the extra

buttons that maybe illustrator and

Photoshop when you open them up it's a

bit like oh my God this is a lot so we

can actually you know you have a bit of

a condensed version so if you are new to

design you can get started very happily

on Express and then maybe work your way

up you know get familiar with Express

and how the buttons work and then work

your way up to then maybe you want to

try out illustrator or photoshop and you

know use it as a really stter program

but I'm just going to add a little

animation to this beat just to add in

maybe I want to do breathe I'm going to

reduce the speed and the intensity have

a really nice Smo we know with social

media we have what two seconds to grab

their attention otherwise they're gone

for good so if we play

this that's

cute yes one last thing I want to do cuz

I've got my big bold fonts and now I

want to add a texture so on the left

hand side I can go to media and then I'm

just going to search for under photos

I'm going to search for texture

overlay and this these textures make my

heart happy because there's so many

different options and I'm going to

select this one and just drop him on and

then we can turn him

around fit him on the art board like so

and obviously that looks rubbish but we

can drop them down that still looks

rubbish but we have our blend modes on

the left hand side in our settings here

so we can have it normal which it is now

it's obviously not blending multiply or

if I hit screen then it gives us this

lovely effect we can see the lights

coming in such a fun way to do that yeah

and if we play we can have a

oops we can see how that works with the

texture and the dress that looks so cute

that looks so

fun I love it and then we we can go

to oh God we can go to share now I think

we're ready to post this on social media

do it actually do we have time to

translate it yeah yeah let's do it so we

don't think small this is Adobe live we

think big so this is a multinational

business so I actually want to translate

this because this is going to go out to

people all over the world so it's

detected the language as English which

is right and then I can pick from any of

these different languages so we can go

for

Japanese we can go for any of the

Spanish and one thing about me so I'm

obviously Welsh so this little goodie

for me that I love is that we can have

Welsh and I can translate it to Welsh

which makes me happy I can do duplicate

this and translate and what it's doing

it's reading my text and it has

duplicated it in all of these different

languages which is so great because

before you'd have to go over to what

Google translate yeah copy it over

reformat see we have this and also it's

copied over the exact same animations

that we made part it's all here so it's

perfect right do you think we're ready

to schedule this out yeah is this ready

to post I think so so we can go over to

share

now this is where we can um add in our

clients or our co-workers or whoever we

want but today we're going to schedule

the

post and so this social media schedule

is completely free is that right yep and

we can add in our Instagram X Pinterest

Tik Tok all of these different accounts

so that is one of my favorite things but

it is free so if you want to just try it

out you absolutely can which is awesome

yes it's perfect and then we can add up

to three accounts so if you're managing

multiple accounts or if you're yourself

you have your personal or your business

account you can add them all in and

manage different accounts which is so

great so we can post it as a normal post

a real or a story but this is one thing

that is a godsend for me

because as a business owner and you know

juggling social media plus client work

it's crazy and you know social media can

be a full-time job in itself so

sometimes like creating the concept

creating the actual post and then I get

to the caption and I'm like you know

what I'm I'm done I I'm out the

creativity is done so this is where we

have our we can generate a caption now

so if I put in maybe tips for maybe not

capitals we we won't shout we be we can

be polite we can be

polite tips for running cuz remember we

are a workout app so if I just type in

tips for running I can generate and then

generate a new caption and what it will

do so kindly for us it will write us our

own caption we have steps we have tags

we have everything so we can insert that

in and now maybe this bit maybe this

section is a little bit too brief maybe

I want to bulk out a little bit so what

I can do is I can highlight this section

we can go back to generat and we can

actually lengthen this so it's just

taken that one paragraph and it's going

to rewrite it for us and look at that oh

my God and just insert that in and we

have our caption with hashtags and

everything and now you can go in and

edit this as much as you want or we can

just post it straight away that's how I

love using it is getting like a base and

then I'll edit it to my brand Voice or

my own voice but it's so nice to just

have something to start with yeah cuz

the blank page is scary even for

captions I feel like I have two modes

either I can go in and I can just write

out a caption and it'll be great or I

get to this point and I'm like you know

what guess I I don't want to yeah I'm

like oh we're done so even like yeah if

you want hints or even you know

just want like tips of running you can

see see what it actually gives you and

then you can just expand on that so I

think I'm happy with this caption and

now let's preview it see what that is

that's a beefy caption it's even got the

Emoji in there for there you go emojis

and all and hashtags you honestly don't

need to do anything and that you can see

that how that would look on the timeline

I really like the preview also because

sometimes I forget how the different

channels work and it's like okay this

actually isn't great for this or I need

to rework it or reformat it

so this is cool so if I X off this and

then we can either schedule it or

publish it now so I'm going to schedule

it maybe what should we go for next

Monday next week yeah very I'm going to

put it for 2 p.m. cuz I all of my posts

go out at 2 p.m. I don't know where this

arbitary number has come from I think

somewhere real then keep it yeah

somewhere along the line my analytics

probably told me to post at 2 p.m. and

yeah and now I've just stuck to it even

if it's like half past 2 I'm like the

time is gone I can no longer post this

literally so the amount of times I've

forgotten but now I can just schedule it

for 2 p.m. there schedule it away happy

days out of sight out of mind and then

if we go back to the

homepage on the left hand side we have

schedule and then this is where our

calendar lives happy happy and what we

can do is we can scoot things around

life happens timelines change we can go

in change up the caption all of the good

stuff and you're ready to go and now

actually we have mobile so I can also do

all of this on mobile or whilst I'm on

the go I can change up any of the

caption or anything and yeah life is

good with

Express what a great finale like this

kid with Express um yeah I don't really

see any questions in the chat so if you

have any if you're watching later feel

free to message either Lucy or I where

can people find you if they want to chat

on Instagram Lugi design is my at

perfect and I am at Jordan and Alis and

we are available for all of your Adobe

Express needs so please ask us yeah

tricks like a lot of the stuff I know

hello hello everyone all right we are

live from Adobe Max London um I am

joined here today with niia um I'm denel

moroto and we're really excited to be

walking through Nia's process of

creating amazing beautiful illustrations

um so that's really how we're going to

spend our time today she's going to walk

us through her process of how she

creates everything definitely say hi in

the chat um as you have questions about

anything she's creating her process

anything like that um feel free to send

it through and we can kind of answer

those as we go along um but why don't

you go ahead and introduce yourself to

everyone on the stream of course so hi

everyone I'm nudia and thank you so much

for having me I'm an illustrator I'm

originally from Spain but I live in

Scotland and I'm really excited today to

be able to share with you my process see

the photo show awesome we're very

excited yeah um I know that you have um

a couple different things that we kind

of want to take a look at and live from

the conference we actually have these

really fun I know you were like do we

show them do we not I was like we show

them um these tattoos um were designed

by niia and like they are all kind of

out that people can put them on and you

created these in illustrator yeah these

ones are made in Australia we're just

trying to be a bit funny on the type of

things I would like to remember myself

sometimes like so note to self remember

to name your layers name your layers I

feel like that's a very solid one I need

that on a t-shirt also yes uh Untitled

and then just like a fun of uh cool UI

and also floral elements that I like to

include in my work so as well I know I

feel like I should have put one of these

on oh we had a closeup oh my bad oh yes

there we go there they

are amazing okay well why don't you pull

up your um we'll take a look at your

screen and kind of take a look at your

process and portfolio and everything

like that yeah so I'll first start with

my portfolio so I like to create a

little Whimsical type of illustrations I

love to draw nature and kind of take a

spin on it on in trying to influence

what I experience in my travel what I

see uh into my work as much as I can so

uh this is my website that you can check

out anytime you want uh so this are the

types of works that I normally do and

create um as you can see I like to

create lineal Works uh and I have a

thing for very vibrant colors uh myself

I love this fish one as well down here

thank yeah this one was like uh created

like thinking on the relationship

between the environments of the clown

food and the Anon I think it's called

something and how they help each other

out so I try to kind of come up with a

meaning behind each artwork and see um

you know what can I influence what kind

of message can I send with my works then

so no it's just like too random either

um but I like to include a lot of detail

in it too so uh I like to feel like a

pule you have to stop and wander around

um they it's beautiful too because I

feel like there's a lot of like layers

to it in terms of of like texture

there's some things that are like more

blurred you have like a lot going on but

it's very like subtle kind of pieces

throughout it which is fun yeah yeah

it's a I also like to infuse the

movement into it because I have a

background in the Motion Graphics so I

like to be able to draw it in motion if

I can even if it's like a static

illustration that's right I did see some

of your work that had some like slight

animation as well you have like animated

work too which is awesome yeah yeah so

yeah feel free to check out my website

at

n.c. um I'll just and you have a shop of

your prince too check those out I saw PR

to out you do it all got

H um so yeah I'll just jump right into

uh Photoshop uh this is a we welcome

page to the session today so this is my

process of how I bring to life the

illustrations um

so welcome to this uh here's the

reference so as I mentioned before I

like to be able to take the experiences

of traveling to places to influence my

work and kind of have a deeper

connection to what I create so here are

some um photos that I took uh on my last

trip to Spain with family uh these are

mainly some flowers like to includ a lot

of floral elements in my work and the

photo above above here it's from the

patios from Cordova in Spain they're

really famous for having really this

beautiful paos you can uh sometimes walk

into and they're so beautiful lots of

lovely plants andow flowers so like

architecture nature kind of just getting

inspired by what you see out there yes

yeah so I wanted to I was thinking well

what can I do with you know this

experience so first I kind of like took

a bit of color inspiration from the

reference images um but moving on uh I

began sketching the concept and you know

I start stre out on the canvas so I

don't get too distracted with details uh

at the beginning um and then I continue

with loose strokes and shapes to get the

idea across I just want to get it out of

my mind into the page um without without

getting too distracted as I mentioned so

the first cetch is this one it's a very

rough you can probably tell I was

getting a bit distracted with the

flowers there a bit more detailed than

the characters I love that you have like

the big character up top with the

scissors and everything too yes so I

mean I was getting inspired by this you

know a trip that took to Corda so I was

like okay let's draw a plant po but you

know what else can I add to it to make

it more exciting um so I'm a big fan of

um you know ad and I think it's called

The Borrowers the film that they're like

tiny people you know getting things uh

from huge humans I guess so I like to

play with scale a lot in my artworks and

have like maybe the characters being

quite tiny so I love how you're in

Photoshop and I feel like you have a

duck presentation that you're going

through with layers which is

amazing at first I was like wait are we

going to do this in Photoshop I love it

yes so actually this sketch I started in

adob Fresco uh and I really liked how it

connected with Photoshop how similar so

you start fully digital do you start

with like pencil and paper or do you

just go straight to I wish but just

digital first yeah I do digital first

although I'm trying to deep my toast

into traditional art as well but uh I'm

a digital uh digital artist yeah so that

would be the first sketch that I do uh

then I will try of course to refine it

um so here it is more refined you can

tell that I've spent more time refining

especially the characters which were

very loose but yeah so here have like

one character flying around on a bird so

the bird is kind of funny like when I

was walking through the streets of

cordob you would see these really tiny

birds like flying around the streets so

I was like well that would be cool to

include it as well and have a character

on top of it you this gives me very I

don't know if you've seen the movie like

the boy and the Heron the new I'm so

looking forward to see I haven't seen oh

okay no spoiler but it definitely gave

me a little bit of that VI I like it

okay thank you well that that's great I

like that

compliment you'll take

it so yeah and I decided to have a

character kind of hang in the clothes

like normal life orinary things that you

do in your day-to-day life and and then

the third character kind of cutting some

of the leaves and the plants and stuff

um so that would be the stage of the

sketch that uh that I would do then of

course refinement and refinement uh once

the main ideas on the page I slowly

start outlining the elements as my

artworks are

outlined um so for this uh this is what

I would normally do um here I normally

jump into illustrator so here's how you

would see it in illustrator so I just

like develop it and copy paste it into

Photoshop um how long would you say this

like stuff takes you versus like just

sketching like the initial drawing what

kind of takes you the longest amount of

time well it does take me like a day

okay it would take me like a day I think

like because I'm very like into the

details I want to get the shape right uh

uh and so I spend probably quite a lot

of time on this stage um but it's fun

it's quite relaxing I have the main idea

already so it's kind of like I've

already done the big part of developing

the concept and I now I kind just relax

and refine it get all the little

details yeah so yeah I will bring it

into

Photoshop and then of course I will

start adding the basic shapes we need to

start like building how it would look so

here I'm not thinking on color yet uh

I'm just like thinking of completing the

piece and once I have the basic shapes I

will of course start thinking about

color and this is quite a difficult

part it's a struggle sometimes uh but

it's difficult and and an evolving

process that requires experimentation so

sometimes uh for example uh here would

be the first go at the illustration

interesting yeah yeah and this is like

trying to apply maybe the colors from my

uh photos uh or maybe you know the first

kind of uh thing that I have in my mind

so I would be like Oh I'm I'm I'm

thinking of blue tones blue background

and stuff and then slowly start adding

uh details but when I was seeing this I

was thinking well this looks quite

complex I'm getting a bit too distracted

so I kind of uh started

experimenting um so that would be option

one then I was like okay Blues are cool

but what about some uh warm tones on the

background how does it feel and I mean I

do like it I quite like the blues and

stuff they create a nice contrast but I

was still thinking this is too much I

love saturation but maybe it's too much

are all the circles the top all the

potential like all the colors that

included in the artwork okay yeah so

here I think mainly I was like changing

the background and seeing how it feels

but working from that original very

initial rough color palette that I had

uh and then I was like okay let's play

around with features like something I

normally do when I'm not like really

sure what to do I just you know started

playing around with gradian maps um so I

can start like

experimenting with like seeing the work

in different colors and then for that to

give me ideas and in this one I really

like the contrasty of the uh kind of

it's not pink I think it's like coral

color type of thing and then the blues I

was like great I quite like it it's it

feels more relaxed to the eye and less

busy in terms of that other one had so

many color variations yeah exactly so uh

then I was like okay cool let's how can

I mix the both things in some way um so

normally I would play with gradient Maps

here you can see very close to the

original color pette but uh I guess

because it's like more refined is less

um it feels different to when it's like

super loose like get in the color

palette on the page um so I colored in

but then I'm like thinking lights and

shadows I think like this is like the

funny the most fun part uh for me

because I start thinking where is the

light coming from where is the Shadows

where's the bouncing light that kind of

add more volume feel like it starts to

come to life once you add a little bit

more of that depth and everything to

exactly so it gives consistency so

sometimes I like to keep the same color

for shadows and same color for uh lights

and stuff so here you can see a few

squares and those are the colors that I

use to help me out to bring detail into

quite a flat initial illustration so I

use the purple for the Shadows overall

on the entire

composition um which gives them quite a

lot of consistency on the um composition

and I also use a very maybe you cannot

see well I'm not sure but it's like a um

a different type of blue for the

bouncing turquise or something yeah um

so to help me out to bring even more

detail to the showers and lights and

then two different colors for the lights

I mean there's so much detail just

almost in like that yellow and purple

flower up the top there that I feel like

once you add all of the different like

gradients and colors to it it starts to

get like more Dynamic which is fun

because then you have so many different

like pieces throughout the illustration

that your eye can kind of wander

throughout yes yeah I mean sometime

sometimes I need to hold myself like

like n don't add too much maybe like you

have to hold yourself back to like calm

down you love this stage of the process

um so yeah I would just start refining

honestly and then this would be the what

I would call my finished illustration

here you can see I added like some

textured uh brushes which is something I

um I'm trying to experiment more with I

don't normally add it to my work but I

think it adds quite a nice uh feeling to

the illustration I had a question in the

chat from Keys around if you'd ever done

any work in Fresco in like the Fresco

app um or if you've thought about trying

it at all oh yes I mean I've heard like

good things from it and I've had uh the

experience from this illustration with

the app and it was like really nice I

think I've heard people doing animations

as well which I'm really looking forward

to it uh so and I really lik the

connection with Photoshop because it's

my main app so being able to really

easily just bring it then into Photoshop

and finish it off yeah yeah I literally

just save it on my iPad and then I can

open my laptop and it's there ready so

that's pretty nice I don't have to be

aird dropping things around for sure so

yeah and then I I can get into the

detail I to work quite large scale my

artworks just in case I want to print

them afterwards or I want to just scub

details to share online um and that's

how I will look so you can see the

bouncing light on the character then the

on top of the light the

Shadows so much detail I mean like stay

zoomed in for a second I feel like

you're not even doing it juses we zoom

in a little bit more of course yeah

let's go back in I mean even just like

on this like fun bird with like the

rains that you kind of have like

underneath I feel like there's so much

Shadow work and kind of gradients

happening underneath there which is

really fun and like I don't know when

you are kind of at this stage you feel

like you're constantly going like in and

out of the artwork or you constantly

like kind of working really like like on

each section like I don't know how do

you kind of think about the full artwork

versus like Min sections of the work

yeah I do think a lot about the artwork

I like to just do this a lot of the time

and be like okay that's small just like

to get the very general idea especially

when I'm working with color and be like

okay take a step back step yeah because

you're working so many hours on it and

you kind of maybe lose drag of what

you're doing I also like to go to

adjustments and just put the over to

check the values of the colors or if I'm

like really stuck and I cannot figure

out the colors I like to just like try

different um adjustments and see like oh

maybe I should trick the pinks maybe I

should uh add more blues or maybe it's

uh I prefer it less saturated and so on

um that's actually a helpful tip cuz I

feel like if you start to look at it in

the gray scale you can kind of see where

you're going a little too if

everything's really muted and light or

where you have like that contrast yeah

it's really useful especially black and

white like try to see okay some details

are getting missed it's not like I mean

it has to be your preference you have to

WR what you do I don't think there's a

right or wrong approach so it's just

about experimenting with the tools also

when I'm like um when I'm like thinking

on color I can take like well if I take

this uh first option and I just like

duplicate it and uh create like a a

smart

object and then I I sometimes go over to

the filters and Camera row filter and

just start tweaking the colors itself

feeling like okay I like the blues but

what about if we change the temperature

how we feel colder warmer uh and so on

um and it just give me a lot of control

over the specific colors the huge the

saturation and that's how I discover

slowly what I like

on what I go for on an artwork that's

amazing well I know we had like a couple

more questions for you in the chat that

I definitely want to get to which is one

is like kind of going back to Fresco a

little bit which is just like um when

you use like a tablet do you use um like

a a stylist a lot do you have a favorite

stylist you use or anything like that

yeah so for a fresco would be on my iPad

so it would just be the uh Apple pencil

and my iPad and then once um I normally

just use the iPad for sketching so if

I'm on presco I would be just sketching

my concept and then for Photoshop I will

work with my Wacom tablet and Wacom

pencil only uh but other times I'm just

like with the keyboard on the laptop

it's totally enough it just depends if

my hands get tired yeah it's easier with

the pencil it is definitely easier yeah

um and then we had another question

around like what advice do you have to

people who are just getting into

illustration oh well uh just keep

excited about creating I think it's

really important to kind of like keep

the flame going you know even if you're

starting out just keep going keep

experimenting and just don't lose uh the

drive to keep creating because there's

so much I'm still a student like I still

have so many things I haven't done

before and I kind of have to keep on

track of be like oh maybe I'm getting

too comfortable to comy I maybe I should

try to do something different and maybe

driving inspiration from ordinary things

in life can also be very a good exercise

to be able to engage your creativity uh

honestly just keep doing work I'll do a

lot of personal work uh it's always

going to be the favorite thing for

creatives to do I think and and that

could also lead to client projects uh

further down the line so yeah I think

that would be it just keep keep it

enthusiastic about

creative work that's great yeah and I

feel like we are so grateful that you

took the time to like share your process

with all of us give us like a little bit

of a sneak peek behind the actual

artwork um definitely check out n's work

San Francisco we took the jump across

the pond and we are joining you live

from the Adobe Offices here in San

Francisco Ellie how you doing I'm doing

great how are you I'm great and excited

because we have as you can see so much

about Photoshop today yes so many new

fun things that we going to going to

talk about and I'm excited to Dive Right

In yes and learn all of the new features

and explore yes so we have more content

coming to you I know that a lot of you

have been watching over on the uh London

time we are over on Pacific Time and we

are streaming for the next 5 hours so we

have a ton of content coming to you from

some professionals like myself weekend

creative yes and our friend Aaron nce

will be here so make sure you stick

around all day we have a lot of uh

generating with commercial photography

we're going to be doing some retouching

and compositing we're creating a

magazine cover and then at the end of

the day I will be creating a campaign

back here with Ellie and Ellie what are

we doing all of these things in today we

are going to be well mostly in Photoshop

oh that's right I can't even say that

we're doing one thing cuz there are so

many jumping around right so today we're

right now we're going to be kind of

going through um everything that was

talked about at Max London and touching

on all the new features in Photoshop

beta in Firefly in in design yes in

design updates which is

so and kind of walking you through all

the new things that you can explore and

then later on I think most of the

streams will be focused in Photoshop but

jumping around a little bit yes and

we'll come back at the end of the day to

design as well so let's hop in and talk

about some of the stuff that is new chat

we would love to know where you are

watching from we're in San Francisco and

I know that we have friends over in

London or the UK so let us know where

you're watching from and tuning in from

in the chat so let's talk about some of

the new things if you want to you can go

to blog. adobe.com and this is just a

great place anytime a release happens

this is where all of the articles are

for uh are are landing sorry um and you

can see here that it has a section just

for Max London so we have image model 3

is here which is really cool we also

have some adjustment presets there is

some information about InDesign here

which we are going to go through right

now let's do it where should we start oh

my gosh well maybe we should start an in

design because we're excited about it do

we're excited about that I love

and so let's start right here withes um

and withes uh a lot of times you're

doing layout right and you're having

some issues or you're trying to find the

perfect image or the right image to use

so I'm actually going to close this real

quick and we're going to bring back

there we go so InDesign uh has had an

update and there are two things that

have been added one you can now use

cloud docs in InDesign amazing and the

uh benefit to using Cloud docs is that

you can collaborate with your friends

with uh feedback you can share so they

can see what you're looking on uh see

what you're working on as you go you can

update those links so Cloud docs really

powerful and illustrator in Photoshop

now available uh in in design which is

really cool and we also have a text to

image beta which is really cool so let's

keep goinging here and this is a

magazine uh that I had worked on that

some of you at Adobe Max London may be

getting right now um and some of you

other people may be getting it another

time there so I'm going to scroll down

here and kind of just find an area that

maybe I want to add in a photo right so

this is going to be an article that I

work on for the magazine and I want to

add in a photo and have a nice little

text wrap so what I can do in in design

is I'm just going to add in a little

ellipse

here voodooo Val says oh hey that's me

hi Val nice to see you Val is here Keys

Michael Michael from South America that

is awesome I saw someone from New

Mexico Katarina is here yes our thank

you for joining us yes and what you can

do now in in design is you can actually

use text to image beta which you can

right click on your uh shape right there

and then click on text to image beta and

here we're just going to put in um

excuse me um let's do um movie

theater uh snacks and let's do popcorn

pretzels and Candy we want to kind of

continue the theme from the other page

and from there we can just hit generate

and what's cool is it's going to use

Adobe Firefly to generate an awesome

image for us right here in in design so

you put in your and this is great for

placeholders great for layout to be able

to visualize what you are working with

and you can see here that now we have a

nice little image for us to start

working with tasty uh so we can turn on

our text wrapping all that but right

here in in design really great for

layout to get your layouts locked in to

get theide aidea of what you want going

on your pages flash I especially love

using it for placeholders yes I feel

like that is so I used to work for a

magazine and that would have been so

helpful cuz we would just use you know a

rectangle or something just a colored

whatever and you can't really visualize

what it's going to be um so yes it is

the end of like the gray box with the X

it you can just use text to image right

here in Adobe which is really cool and

uh it's nice to see a lot of new faces

in chat hello we have esam is here

Darren is here uh Paul nice to see you

all that rhymed uh so let's hop over and

talk about Photoshop and this is a huge

upop update for Photoshop but it's not

for Photoshop where can people get this

this is in Photoshop beta so you have to

get the beta version of Photoshop which

Andrew will show you how to access so

all you need to do is you're going to

open up the Creative Cloud desktop app

and from there you're going to go to

apps and here you can see right there

beta and you're going to click on beta

right here and it will show you all of

the beta apps that you need it also is

right here you can click and get started

there and I believe you can also um on

the homepage right there it is going to

pop up and tell you that photoshop beta

is here so go download Photoshop beta go

do it because there is a ton of new

stuff and let's hop in and see the first

thing uh we're going to be generating a

lot of stuff today and so I do want your

suggestions chat if you have Sugg

suggestions of things that you want to

see please put them in chat and let us

know um all right this is the fear of

many designers right here we're we're in

Photoshop beta blank page the blank page

we're in Photoshop beta we have our

blank page we're getting started and we

don't know where to start um well there

is a new tool that is super helpful for

you to get started to get your ideas

flowing and to start making images right

in the past we've only had to bring

images into Photoshop now we can make

images right in Photoshop directly in

Photoshop yes so we have a new button

right here called generate image and

this is on the contextual toolbar right

there um we also have it lingering over

here in the corner if you'd like to work

there but we are going to generate image

right here and this is going to fill the

whole area of our canvas so no longer do

I have to make a selection I don't have

to like pick the places that I want

something to be I can very simply just

generate an image so Ellie where give me

a location oh okay um somebody said that

they in Egypt so why don't we do Egypt

let's do that yeah let's do um let's see

uh uh a desert landscape yes

landscape in

Egypt and Studio manager give me an

animal platypus a platypus oh I feel

like we've tried to do platypus before

let's see what happens plat they're very

mysterious where are we going to put

this platypus uh desert with a plat pla

T I don't know how to spell that y p s

platy post that looks right it looks

right yep in a uh Oasis Pond all right

chat so what we're going to do here is

we are typing this in and then we are

going to click on Photo now if I want it

to I could do a reference image and

that's going to allow me to just

understand a little bit better what we

want to do um and so I'm not going to do

that quite yet I am going to look at

effects here and I know that I want to

do hyper realistic and then I can go to

maybe some of these effects and see I

think antique photo could look cool

that' be fun um so we're adding in some

of these effects just to give us a

little bit more of a specific look so I

think that that's going to be good let's

go to Concepts and see if anything's in

there um yeah let's do nostalgic why not

so if you've used Firefly you'll

recognize these effects that you're

adding yes which is awesome that now

you're going to be able to do all of

that directly in Photoshop really cool

so Photoshop beta yes just assume let's

disclaimer anytime we say Photoshop just

assume it's photosh so we're going to

hit generate here and it is going to

generate that scene from us hold on to

your hats because let's see I'm very

nervous about the Platypus in the desert

let's see what happens with image model

3 oh my goodness wow that is actually a

beautiful look look at look at him doing

a little

backstroke oh my goodness that is so and

the reflections that are happening so

you can do this right in that it is true

Robert says the Platypus is from

Australia this is true but with image

model 3 you can make anything you want

you can put a platypus anywhere that's

crazy to be creative and really really

really great tool and something else

that I can do here is I can actually go

in and maybe make some adjustments uh

and maybe I really like this one and the

layout of this one we do have a new tool

that is right over here that is generate

similar and so I can use my reference

style but also could right here um

generate similar so clicking on these

two little dots and again this is very

familiar from Firefly on the web is you

can click on generate similar and I like

the layout of this one and so we're

going to click on that and it's going to

use that image as a reference yeah for

uh the next set of generations that we

create okay while it's loading we have a

question does it take credits to do this

in Photoshop uh yes this each time that

you use a generative anything it is

going to use a generative credit

I believe the moderators can drop a link

to more information about generative

credits um I think they they renew every

month and you get a ton of them if

you're a creative Club member there's

just an eternal amount which is great

and then Carol asks will the results be

about the same as generating from the

web um they are both using image model 3

so yes I believe that they would be um

so something else that we could do here

is let's say that we want uh to take

this guy out so I'm going to remove the

Platypus cuz he does doesn't actually

belong here uh is I can just select this

and we can go to generative fill and not

put anything in there and just hit

generate and that's going to remove him

from the scene which is really cool um

but Kei says everyone did the uh

platypus just swim in our only Oasis

drinking water I know right we're like

in the desert we swam a long way yes yes

and he's gone so you can kind of see

here that we have some different

variations and let me zoom in here and

you can actually see that the quality

is dropping off right along that edge

you can see it really well right there

on the edge and what's really cool is

there's a new tool another new tool this

is not the greatest example and we'll

show this again is that when you

generate something you can actually

hover over your generation right here

and then you can click on this little

button to the top left that is enhance

detail when I click on enhanced detail

okay it's too small so when you click on

enhanced detail if you're working with a

larger image it will give you more

detail on that image so I'm actually

going to go to Adobe stock and find a

really high quality photo real quick

just to show you how enhanced detail

Works let's do it and Robert asked if

this is the beta version yes this is the

beta version of Photoshop so that's what

we're working in right now that's where

the updates are so uh we are tuning in

live from uh Egypt one of our friends

said that they were coming in from Egypt

so we are going to stay on the Egypt

theme Hello friends from Egypt uh let's

do um Egyptian desert

okay and so I'm doing this to get a

really high so if you're working with

your own photos I want to get a super

high pixel dense resolution photo um and

let's see what we can get

here I mean we got to go should we just

go to the pyramids let's do it it feels

a little it feels a little on to on par

um I kind of like some of those yeah

like that is cool let's do that so let's

go here and we're going to license this

photo uh from Adobe stock and then bring

it over into Adobe Photoshop beta and

the reason we're doing this is because I

want to show you the new enhanced detail

so we're going to go to downloads and we

are going to open this

up and from here let's say that we want

um to put let's put a door here and so

what we can do is we're going to make

our selection I'm just using the lasso

tool you can see there's a lot of

hieroglyphics there but I'm going to

select this

area and then we are going to do

generative fill and let's do

um uh let's do

stone

door with gold details

oops and um uh like a big handle

yeah so we're going to generate that in

and what's cool is if I wanted to I

could actually use a reference for this

and I think that that's what I'm going

to end up doing here just to make sure

that we stay exactly on where we would

like to go so I'm going to look on stock

for some examples and then I'll use that

as a reference if you have your own

uh image then you could do that so I

mean that's pretty good it's pretty good

it's looking pretty good and you can see

here I'm not mad about this one first

one is the best one for sure yes so we

can come in here and you can see uh that

it does have let's look at the

resolution of this image real quick so

the image right now is 300 pixels per

inch and we are looking at 5,000 by

3,000 so it's a pretty pixel dense um

but what I can do is right here I can

click on enhance detail what it's going

to do is it's going to think about the

generation that it made and then enhance

and give me a little bit more detail on

that so I'm going to zoom out

here and we'll we will be able to see

when I undo and redo you can see it's

very very subtle but you can see see how

we're getting more detail on there I

definitely see

that so it's just a really great way to

add a little bit more of that detail to

get there we go to get a little bit more

of that texture uh it's going to help

you enhance that so especially if using

uh like people or you're putting things

in that aren't just quite right you can

enhance detail and it will enhance and

bring more quality to your generation

which is really cool always helpful yes

um Paula is asking if these sessions

from today are going to be available as

normal on bance or just on YouTube well

you can actually click over here

somewhere our studio manager has a

graphic somewhere you can subscribe to

us on Adobe Live on YouTube Adobe is

live every single Monday Tuesday

Wednesday Thursday from 9:00 am. Pacific

to 2 PM Pacific so all day um Monday

through Thursday you can subscribe right

there and draw us on follow us on

Instagram as well yes follow us on

Instagram for sure there's so many fun

videos that are always coming up great

tips and tricks so definitely follow

along yep so what I didn't have here is

I wanted to get a a little bit of a

better reference image so let's go ahead

and search here and let's just do a

maybe stone door uh with gold and this

is going to a combination of using Adobe

stock and we could actually use Adobe

Firefly so let's go here let's go to

Adobe Firefly and we can go and type in

um a large gold door with stone details

oh Carol is asking is that a credit also

I think the enhanced detail is what

she's asking about do that a credit so

anything that is using Firefly anytime

you generate something it is using a

generative credit yes uh so we are here

now on firefly.com and there have been

updates here as well which is crazy you

can see over in the corner Firefly image

3 is available in preview um so this is

a little preview of what is to come

higher quality Works faster everything

is ooh I love I love these this Arch yes

these are much better so I like this one

a lot better so I'm actually going to

download this and as I download it it is

going to uh apply those content

authenticity uh initiative um oh gosh

credentials thank you content

credentials welcome the words all came

together uh it's going to apply content

cral to let us know that it has been

generated in a Photoshop or in Firefly

we're going to come back over to

photoshop here and we are going to now

use a reference image so I like the door

that I have but I want to try for

another one we're going to click right

here and then go to choose image we have

our Giant image right here and we're

going to open it's going to confirm that

we have the rights to this reference

image it's really important that we are

using things that we have the rights for

Adobe Firefly is trained on Adobe stock

and it is trained to be commercially

safe and so we want to make sure that we

maintain that throughout so make sure

you're using images that you have the

rights to that you can work with so

we're going to hit confirm here and then

check this out it is going to reference

our image that we had um and give us new

generation so we're going to click on

generate and it will use that reference

that we have and then generate the new

Option you can see here the reference

does show up right there in the corner

and then the generations are showing up

right here which is really cool

let's see the suspense wow oh I like oh

my gosh I like this one I kind of like

that one yep so arate I like this one a

lot and you can see there that it's

actually gotten really really nice

detail and let's see what happens when

we enhance detail if we get any more

Magic on this uh and it is let's see yep

so just a little bit more of that detail

to give us a little bit more o that is

so fun into it okay so love that but it

is a little bit too bright for me yeah

we have a new tool for that too there's

so much new there's so much new here in

Photoshop uh we have a new tool for that

so they they thought ahead they did they

really thought ahead they were like he's

going to generate a door that's going to

be a little bit too bright so how can we

fix how can we help Andrew yes uh so

what we can do is we can use the

adjustment brush this is a new tool

hiding underneath the brush tool and it

is the adjustment brush tool and what

you can do is a lot of times when you're

uh Ed you're using adjustment layers

right we're coming down all the way in

the corner we're clicking here make new

adjustment layer and then we're going in

and making our adjustment layer well we

have a brush for that now and so I want

to take down the brightness of this so

what I'm going to do is I'm going to

select my brush and just like any other

brush we can use the brackets to make it

bigger to make it softer harder so we're

going to make it pretty soft and then

I'm just going to brush in over this

door Tim says nice segue yes thank you

and you can see there that it made it

really really bright which is not what

we want but as you paint with that it is

going to bring up in the properties

panel the adjustments that you could be

making with that layer which is now a

brush so I'm going to bring the

brightness down a little bit we're going

to bring the contrast down a lot of bit

that looks so good Paul ask so if we use

stock that's okay for a reference image

yes if you've licensed the stock image

then you can use that yep and let me let

me uh let me put you on to something

really special here stock. adobe.com

slash are you ready free st.com free

these are all free assets for you it

will search just the free assets uh you

also can generate in Firefly and then

use that image um within Photoshop which

is really cool yes so Nate ask is

Photoshop 2024 using gen 3 or is it only

Photoshop beta using uh image model 3 we

are only in the beta Photoshop Beta app

is where we are yes and the beta version

still uses credits right anything that's

generating is using credits and so let's

go ahead and generate some more I like

this door a lot so we're going to

generate similar here and it's going to

give us some more options love I love it

just gives you it's such a good tool yes

um so we're going to do that and see

what happens now from here we are going

to segue out of Egypt I'm so sorry Egypt

uh because we have another thing we had

a we've had a great trip great time

ooh o I like the ornate I like one that

one's oh look at the shadow that it see

how the Shadows like coming this way and

then it included it on the door amazing

that's really cool amazing um okay so

let's say that we want to travel

somewhere else um we need to show off

the new replace background tool chat

where are you watching from and where

would we like to travel next where

should we go um I'm thinking that maybe

we go somewhere a little more tropical

oh somebody did say South America is

there like a ooh let's do that let's a

jungle or something yeah so let's go

ahead and start our journey again with a

new image so we're going to go to new

and we're going to just do a 1920 x 1080

perfect and from here we are going to

use that generate image again so we're

going to click on generate image and

here I am going to create maybe we want

to have um

a uh let's say mug of

coffee in a jungle backdrop

with a with a hammock like what if

you're like in a hammock in the jungle

drinking your coffee yes and a toucan

are toucans in the jungle oh yeah okay

uh or a monkey monkey let's do monkey

monkey okay so let's go ahead and type

that in we're going to do photo and we

are not going to do a reference image

for now um let's go into effects we want

to maybe do hyper realistic and let's

see what happens here so what we're

going to do here is we're trying to

create like a little scene and let's say

that we had a photo shoot that we' done

that we had maybe a product photo that

we needed to put in a bunch of different

Yes Monkey yes hello oh he's so cute

okay so this one's really really cute

but we um send this off we have a

product right maybe we've uh take

actually let's do this this is really

cute but let's say that we've shot uh in

the studio okay so I'm going to go to

stock and we are going to do uh maybe

just a um

coffee mug on white

background background for quite a long

time so if I wanted to I could just

click right here on remove background

and it is going to remove the background

of this image for me so it took away the

saucer there which is fine uh we can

just use the mug so we've removed the

background but now we can replace the

background by generating something aming

so there is a new button down here that

is generate background so we're going to

click here and we're going to generate

background and let's say a jungle

scene um with a monkey why not let's do

it I love the monkey so let's see what

happens here uh and generating

backgrounds is going to allow you to

remove one thing from a scene and then

put it into a completely new scene which

is really cool um I've used this a few

times uh ooh oh

wow oh fun it put on a little pedel

even it's so big it's so big okay so

what we can do is we could generate

similar if we wanted to or we could uh

rate it if it's good if it's poor if

it's needs to be reported again it is in

beta and so we are constantly working on

it constantly trying to make it better

so give us your feedback which is really

cool yes um all right so let's go and I

want to use this this as a backdrop yeah

I love that backdrop this is really cool

so I'm going to actually save this uh

we're going to go to file and I am going

to just save a copy of this could you

just use that as a reference image for

can you use a reference image when you

generate a background yes okay uh so

let's go ahead and do a JPEG and let's

do monkey

coffee uh we're going to do this as high

quality great all right got it there so

let's say that we want to just remove

the background so I'm going to select

this and I'm using my selection tool

right here the object select tool it is

just W um or if you don't have the magic

wand you can hold shift and W and I'm

just going to select the coffee mug as

well as the saucer and if you wanted to

you could just click and drag around it

and it will actually find everything in

that shape for you so now it has all

those pieces for you so um I'm going to

remove the background um and actually I

think I can't right now hold on uh

because hold

please because this is a generative

layer so if you're working on a

generative layer sometimes you will not

have um some of the functionality that

you would if it was just a regular layer

because it's maintaining all that

information for you um and so let's go

ahead and remove background let's see

what it does if I just click on remove

background I bet it's going to keep the

monkey yep it loves the monkey it loves

the monkey which we do too but he needs

to go so I'm going to go ahead and just

come around the coffee cup and I didn't

do a great selection there I got the

idea

though oh Andrew come on select it

better you need some of that coffee I

need some of this coffee please bring it

to me uh so there we go got a better

selection and I can just use my mask to

mask out oops oh I'm using the

adjustment

brush let's get the regular brush there

and I can mask it out there we

go all right and we're going to mask out

our

friend bye bye buddy all right so now we

have our coffee it is looking good I'm

going to put it in the center of our

image and now I would like to generate a

background um so we are going to maybe

edit let's generate right here here so

generate background um let's put this in

a um

a modern

kitchen oh yeah right um Warm

Morning

Light and then let's maybe put um

some I don't know pastries yeah uh

withes on a plate and let's generate

that and see what happens so I am a

little nervous let's see what happens

because I have a selection currently I'm

a little nervous that it's going to fill

the selection but it feels like it might

not it oh my gosh look at all those

Reflections on the counter what what in

the

world I mean that's amazing that is

insane okay so let's go through some

other options that warm it got that warm

light coming in through the

window oh the reflection my goodness

wow that is so good that's so good the

oven in the

background and you know what that is

amazing I'm going to do something real

quick just to have some fun someone

saying you can create a new background

layer via layer new background layer yes

thank you Tim great great example there

so I do like this one a lot so I'm going

to use this to generate similar and then

we're going to create a fun little GIF

oh do it because because we've had

something like structure match um on the

web for a while uh this is oh wow not

the same

but oh this is

cool okay actually don't love these so

I'm going to delete those three I'm just

going to generate more options uh

because I want to keep the mug in the

same place and then we create a gift

that like Cycles through all the

backgrounds so the mug will stay the

same that's fun okay I love this oh I

love that one so let's do this I'm going

to generate one more and then we are

going to use our timeline to create a

really cool little animation here and if

you've never used animation in photoshop

really powerful really easy yes we can

go to window and then we're going to go

to timeline and from here we're going to

do frame

animation and so I'm actually going to

just make a copy of each of these so I'm

hitting control or command J to make a

new layer copy of that layer and that

way I can have one of

each pqu noos dose all right so we have

our mug there looking good and then we

have all of the kitchen pieces right

there as well so let's do this so we're

going to click on create frame animation

and from there we're just going to turn

each of these

on we're going to hit plus and turn on

the next one and then hit plus and turn

on the next one so we kind of go through

this and I'll create nine frames here

really really

easily that's so fun and it could be fun

too if like if this was a client and

they wanted to show all the different

places that you could drink coffee or

something like that you know yep you

have your product photography and then

what we can do is we are going to select

all these and SEL it set set it to A2

second delay and then when we hit play

Watch What

Happens I love that's so fun that's

pretty cool I love that it's like how it

stays the same and everything else is

changing it kind of almost looks like I

don't know like it's floating but like

it's it's also I don't know I love it

looks great this is really cool so this

is a great kind of evolution of what

we've seen with structure reference is

you're able to kind of just push your

content to a whole new level um I'm

going to sneeze oh no I'm not it's going

to explode in my

head okay so this is that is so fun

generate background which is really cool

um and let's oh let's do this no stop

that hold on can you go to our head

shots Studio manager thank you I clicked

on the wrong thing all

right all right we got it okay we're

back um so what we can do is we can

actually um take this and we can create

a mockup with this which is really cool

so let's create a cool mockup and maybe

we use the uh structure reference or we

use the uh image reference to create a

cool mockup so let's start a new

document again let's do

it let's go 1920 by 1080 right here

and then we are going to uh create maybe

a shoe

yeah uh and someone saying how did you

make sure that the coffee cup didn't

move at all between the variations great

question uh so what we did is we made

our selection of our coffee cup right

here and actually I'll we'll we'll show

you again right now with the workflow

with something else so we're going to

generate in the background

here we are going to generate an image

and this is just going to be a uh maybe

let's do a cool sneaker on a white

background yeah so let's do um uh bright

oops sneak

sneakers on a white background and it

doesn't have to be on a white background

it's just going to help us and it's

going to be a little bit easier so we're

going to do photo I am going to go to

effects and maybe we want to do um a

hyper realistic for sure

let's do beautiful let's do hyper

realistic uh and then maybe we do want

to do a reference image here and maybe

we want to use Firefly to generate just

a really cool pair of sneakers so let's

see here and let's go to um uh brightly

colored pair of

sneakers and this is going to generate

some options for us and we're just using

this as a reference for Photoshop when

we go into it gives you more control

instead of having to generate something

over and over and over oh I'm not mad

about these those are fun yep so I'm

going to download that and we're going

to use that as our reference so I'm

going to come back into Photoshop here

go to reference image and then choose

that adobe stock of the shoes that we

just created so we're going to hit okay

here and from there we are going to

generate so let's see what happens it

should generate some awesome sneakers

for us using Firefly image model 3 and

then we'll be able to replace the

background and generate a background on

that which is really cool

nice okay I do want it to be isometric

and I'm going to put that in here so

let's do um isometric

angle and let's say Studio shot okay we

just a little more information uh but

look at the detail on those the detail

is amazing it's so good oh my

goodness all right so let's see there we

go so we got a there we go this exactly

what I

want that's so cool that's so crazy okay

so this is exactly what I want uh and

how I want it to look but I do want to

put a different background here and so

what I can do is I'm going

to uh go ahead and make a copy of this

so that I have a copy of my actual

generative layer and from there we are

going to just Ruiz this layer so I'm

going to right click and then go down to

rasterize layer and then from there

we're just going to click on remove

background so super easy we're going to

remove background Jan is asking um why

you generated the reference image in

Firefly rather than in Photoshop could

have done either yeah uh could have

either I just wanted to show kind of the

back and forth there so we have right

here we have removed the background and

now I can generate a background so we're

going to generate background and let's

do um

geometric

goo

metric uh bright colored shapes

let's do 3D

render and let's do um uh like

grid I think you have an extra letter in

bright I do yeah all right there we go

bright so we're going to generate here

and it should generate a background for

so this is how you generate all those

different backgrounds is you were going

to remove background and then use

generate background and it actually has

made the selection for me you can see

there it's keeping that in place and

it's not touching that object who that

is so F oh my

gosh okay I love this one the best one

this is so cool that is so fun what I'm

going to do is I am going to generate

similar to see if we can get some other

options here uh but this is looking

really really cool and I'm going to do

one more thing um is that we can kind of

paint in more things to this

scene um using generative fill okay yes

oh I love that okay that's really cool

that is my favorite one

wait yes this is really cool also this

idea for a photo shoot is really to get

like wire mesh I'm getting inspired I I

literally like you know I was like we

can create about to see some wire mesh

in therez this is a idea I've done I've

gotten like plastic gray stuff at Home

Depot and painted it but I love the idea

of like you could spray paint it yes and

then especially having like lighting

behind it yes you could put even like a

gradient behind it with a yeah amazing I

love it this is cool okay so what we're

going to do here is I want to add in

like some cool little like orbs um and

so I'm going to do that just on another

layer on top and we're going to layer

this above these uh shoes and let's go

ahead and do this and with firefly image

model 3 I'm thinking it's going to do a

pretty great job at creating these orbs

for

me uh let's see here I don't actually

want one there dang it I always get

excited and then like put it in the

wrong place I'm just going to do oops

some little orbs

here all right maybe we want one more

over here maybe we want one more big one

over

here all right so that's good and we're

just going to do generative fill and

here we are using Firefly image model 3

it's going to get pretty crazy right now

and let's

do metallic

oh uh

reflective oops

reflective or

uh let's do like neon

light and let's do like glowing maybe no

I don't want them glowing uh no I don't

want I want them just okay I just want

them yeah so I'm going to do metal

mirror just to see if we can get uh a

little reflection here yeah I'm very

interested so we have made a selection

how well it will do that yeah we made a

selection in a lot of different places

and so it's going to I I'm interested to

see what it fills in and what it's going

to pick up using all of those different

selections

together wow that is so cool that's

pretty just do one I don't know let's

see if it did uh it did only do the one

maybe you have to do one at a time yes

let's do that so let's do one at a time

also that is absolutely insane that is

really cool so let's just do a bunch of

different layers here um and we are

going to use

our elliptical Marquee tool we're going

to generate that one same prompt in

there and I am going to generate just a

couple of these uh cuz that is really

really really cool so cool

yes I am obsessed with this image I love

this image oh oh no we did so good why

did it it's like New

Direction okay it was the same prompt

yes interesting that is so interesting

okay so we're going to generate similar

yeah and let's see what happens here I

could you could you just well no cuz

then the reflection is going to be

taking into place where the orb is so

you kind of have to generate it in place

you can't just move it around we got a

good one and now we're trying to figure

out how

to okay this one is for sure the best

yeah I love that it's even reflecting

what the studio light would be yes is

crazy that's cool that's so cool okay so

let's do maybe one up here and let's do

like a uh wavy oops nope uh I want to do

I want to do another mirror

so let's go

here maybe on the grid and let's do a

wavy uh let's do

uh like

obtuse

obtuse shaped

mirror uh and then let's say like bright

neon

reflection this is fun to like yeah map

out a concept for a photo shoot yeah I

feel like that I've been starting to use

Firefly so much for coming up with mood

boards and Concepts especially with the

structure reference it's so

helpful yes O O Let's do an let's do

like an ooze drip oh yeah right so I do

want to try multiple selections and see

what happens I don't know why it wasn't

doing that uh but let's see what happens

here if I try to do like a metallic yeah

like a metallic ooze yes yes all right

so let's go here and let's go um

dripping metal reflective neon

color okay I'm very interested to see

yeah cuz it should recognize that you

have multiple selections yes and it is

filling the other selections it's just

filling them not with the prompts not

with the yeah not with the metallic oh

and it yeah interesting it's taking

consideration may all of them so let's

try that one at a time cuz I do want to

see a like cool dripping ooze metal so

let's go J to fill and let's do

metallic uh

dripping

ooze and let's say

reflective

mirror uh neon

color and I just want like this cool

like Chrome drip I should put Chrome in

can picture it oh Chrome is a good yeah

I know I feel like this um all of this

is making me be better at adjectives yes

Firefly and everything oh maybe try it

with chrome and see

yeah we got one that's so good um I know

Chrome and I wonder if hold on I have an

idea what if you said the word liquid

like metallic did you say liquid oh

liquid's a good idea I put ooze I think

liquid is probably a better idea yeah

so let's say

liquid okay um and then what I'm going

to do is okay that's gotten

closer liquid what I'm going to do is

I'm just going to take a screenshot okay

of this piece here and I'm going to use

that as my reference image yes that is a

good idea Robert also asked could you

put the shoe inside of a

bubble oh um

yes we can try um it it usually actually

does pretty good with bubbles we can try

um all right so let's see here I got my

screenshot that looks pretty good we're

going to hit open there and now that is

my reference image okay so again new

tool in Photoshop beta that just came

out today being able to use reference

images so we are going to try that

someone saying insert metallic uh for

the pro insert metallic orbs uh so

something that is uh really important

about generating using Firefly is don't

use verbs so uh don't tell photosh to do

something just tell it what you want to

see and so metallic orbs actually might

be good um so we're going to generate

using that reference image and we have

metallic dripping oh ooze it kept oo

we're going to change the Ooze to

Chrome let's see what happens here if

the reference image has gotten us any

closer yes much

better much better okay actually hold on

that is actually pretty we're leaving

that I love that that's really cool and

I do want to put one more up here and

let's put uh

Chrome dripping I wonder if you could

find a dripping metal in stock oh yeah

and use that as a

reference okay let's try that so neon

color and let's go over to stock and see

and actually let's just do um let's

generate here and let's do uh

dripping

Chrome metal and see what happens okay

I like that we're using uh and soone

saying what you say is ADD metallic wiid

instead of just liquid uh you wouldn't

say add you would just say metallic

liquid that is much more that's a cool

image that is so cool that's cool and

look at the detail and even like the

skin imperfection and stuff like it's

yeah okay so I think this is a good one

so we're going to use that as our

reference image I wonder too if the word

neon is throwing it off okay I don't

know maybe I don't know oh you're right

try it's kind of thinking like you want

it to be actually neon yep so let's do

reflective Chrome dripping reflective

and then let's use that image that we

just downloaded here as our reference

image and I do have another idea I love

the variety in these images that were

you go through all the different ones

pure chaos I love it uh okay so let's do

um

reflective dripping Chrome

and we have our image in there as the

reference let's see what

happens let's

see this is a really cool image it's so

fun I love

it yeah okay we're definitely getting

closer I want more reflection is the

thing yeah maybe say like reflecting the

what I'm going to do is I am going to

this is probably not the right answer

but it's not the wrong answer either uh

what I'm going to I'm actually going to

pull both of those images onto a um

document so we're going to go here I'm

going to pull this one and then we are

going to do

a another where's the drip that we

had there we go so I'm going to pull

both of these onto this document and I

actually don't want the background I

think on this one yeah uh and so we are

going to remove the background there

Boop

and there we go I think that I'm going

to try to use this as the reference as

the reference so I'm going to screenshot

this smart I'm I'm here to help uh I'm

going to use this as the reference here

and see if that I'm just saved it as a

screenshot and let's see if that can get

us any closer we've gone on a journey uh

we're going to replace that reference

image and I'm going to use just that

screenshot that I have right

here so let's see what happens we have

reflective dripping Chrome I'm going to

do

metallic and I think that this could be

a good workflow to like generate new

things is to combine images into one

reference image that's actually so

smart all right let's see what happens

please please okay it's getting closer

it is this is exactly what I wanted but

like it just it's it doesn't look good

which I love Firefly for is trying to

like see does this idea work yeah

absolutely so I'm going to copy this one

and we are going to do one more up

here that is just one more kind of

floating orb so I'm going to put that in

I'm going to use our regular reference

image that we had of the screen shot

right there and we are going to generate

let's put one more up in that corner we

have a little bit more of a balanced

composition um and then let's make sure

that we went over everything that we

needed to today we talked about image

model 3 releasing uh available in

preview on firefly.com

yes it really wants a disco ball it

really well what I think is happening is

it's reflecting the cage yeah I didn't

think about that I'm like it's not doing

disco ball it's trying to reflect the GD

trying to but it's turning it into a

disco ball yep and I'm going to try to

do smooth here and see if that helps

yeah okay so Firefly image model three

available in Photoshop beta as well as

Firefly uh in preview we had generate

image you can now start from scratch and

just generate an image directly in

Photoshop um ooh okay smooth helped oh

that one's good yep that one's great

that one's really good

sweet oh I like it okay so I like this

one I'm going to generate similar just

to see um so we also had adjustment

brushes which show you you tried uh

sorry dripping Mercury oh Mercury is a

great idea that is a great idea after

maybe uh no no you're good we also have

generate similar which we're doing right

here right now uh generate background

which is what we did to find this

background that we have oh dang it nope

all right this is the this is the best

that we this is the best we're going to

get um and that looks pretty okay to me

what I am going to do um actually let's

see I'm curious to see what happens here

uh I want to mask out just the ball

because the right now it's a square

selection so what I'm going to do is I'm

going to remove the background from the

orb and see what happens ooh did that

work it did wow okay that worked really

well and it got rid of a lot of the kind

of like weirdness around the edge yeah

so what I'm going to do is I'm actually

going to come back here and I'm going to

enhance just to make sure to see if

there is okay it's too small so that's

good okay so that was actually a really

interesting workflow uh to

see did I delete one of them I did okay

there we go he's back I got scared uh so

I'm going to remove the backgrounds on

all of these just to make it so that we

um have a little bit more of like a

clean look on these

images move background there and then

you could resize them too right Ellie

cuz they're all kind of the same size

right now so maybe you can make one

smaller yes the background is gone so

right uh so let's see what happens

here let's remove the

background and I actually I'm just going

to Delite cuz there is a lot of extra

overlap on this there we go so now I

just have those three and you'll see

here those are our

shoes okay is this one this one did it

take the whole thing or did it just

take um okay let's try this let's apply

that and let's remove the background

here and see what we can

get okay it is taking too much so I'm

actually just going to use use the

elliptical Marquee tool okay and we are

going to make a circle and do it

around this see

here uh no

no cuz it doesn't really have to be

perfect no it doesn't I just want to

have this

image come on yes I just want that ball

there we go so it's a lot cleaner and

keeps the background pretty clean for us

which is nice um gosh this looks so cool

uh all right so let's do our sneakers

here we got our sneakers we got our

background okay let's do some adjustment

brush real quick um and someone's saying

uh oh never mind uh I was uh Mercury

unless it's bottled there's a lot of

discussion about Mercury yeah there's a

lot of mercury stuff here uh so let's go

ahead and do uh actually Let's do let's

do this this would be interesting so I

have a whole bunch of different layers

and pieces that I've been using I going

to use something that not a lot of

people know exists not a lot of people

use and that is a neural filter this is

not something that's new today it's

something that we're just talking about

today uh but neural filters are really

really powerful to bring your um images

together so we're going to go to

harmonization here and what we're going

to do is we're going to select the layer

to harmonize and I think this bright

geometric 3D grid is what we want

everything to look like so we're going

to click there it's going to re valuate

our image I am going to take the

strength up quite a bit on the

harmonization and then we're going to

hit okay and what it's going to do is

it's going to harmonize all of these

different layers together so you'll see

here see how it's just pulling those

colors in yeah it it makes it just look

like everything was actually shot

together yes really cool I didn't even

think about so it has pulled those

colors down a bit oops it's pull those

colors down a bit to harmonize them with

the overall scene it looks really good

which looks really good so what I'm

going to do here as well is I'm going to

generate a uh overlay so I want some

neon colors so we're going to go ahead

and I know that I am working with a 1920

x 1080 so we're going to do that about 3

minutes I am so good okay so we we're

we're golden we're going to generate

image here and we are just going to do

um neon color light

rays uh on oops

a which way do I want to go black

background and the reason we want a

black background is because I know we're

going to screen this so we're going to

go to photo and then we are going to go

to effects I want synth wave and we're

going to hit generate it's going to

generate a nice overlay force and I'm

going to use this as a texture to go

over that whole image to bring it

together um so Firefly is really really

great for generating images or for

generating textures yes that is so fun

okay so we have this here we're going to

bring it back over into our composition

here and I'm going to put this just over

the whole thing and then change the

blending mode to

screen yeah wow so I might actually

bring it below the shoes there we go yes

which is really cool because the shoes

are on their own layer that's so cool so

fun so really great image able to um

that we were able to create right here

in Adobe Photoshop beta this is that is

amazing none of these like all of this

is generated that is crazy and this

looks really cool again if you're doing

mockups like you could go shoot this

right now you could go get your prop

let's do it we're going to go shoot new

photo shoot with weekend creative be

right back uh and you can see that like

some of the reflections aren't picking

up exactly what the product is you can

adjust that you can adjust that you can

play around with it and again this is a

really really great way to get started

to have some ideas to kind of mood board

in concept for your actual photo shoot

um this is looking really really cool so

go and play with a uh the new update

Adobe Photoshop beta is available and we

have Firefly image model 3 available

today to all of you um and someone's

saying are those shoes from is it cake

maybe those shoes are cake you never

know all right generate some cake what

do we have coming up next and what is

going on for the rest of the day so we

have streams happening the rest of the

day coming up next we are going to be

back with using all of these new Tools

in commercial photography with weekend

creative so arabel is going to be

showing you some fun tricks there and

then later on we have retouching and

compositing with Aon nce and Andrew and

magazine covers designing campaigns

definitely stick around the rest of the

day and make sure that you are

subscribed to Adobe live so you don't

miss out on any of these awesome streams

yes and follow us on Instagram see bye

everybody today we're going to design a

poster I walk you through the thinking

behind the poster the layout and of

course we'll do some research and

generate imagery using Firefly 2.0 cool

so let's start with the poster command n

as a new document so I'm going to design

it at 13 1 12 by 20 in what makes a

poster poster in our mind is a billing

block literally all those tiny little

credits director music by etc etc uh the

font that you'll be using for billing

block is most likely B uh be like you

know B this is American Standard I've

made it 50% gray here we are taking a

lot of Liberties here right this is this

is not professional but let's command

tea I'm going to shrink it a little bit

we are creating based on the popular

vote a Polish movie poster for Barbie

okay uh-huh I'm going to make it really

creepy and let's go to Firefly let's see

what we can come up with so we're going

to switch here to Portrait I'll turn on

visual intensity maybe within color and

tone I can select vibrant colors boom

maybe golden hour maybe this will add a

little bit warmth to it let's do white

angle and let's click again and just to

see what will be generated right there

is actually setting for our Deco if we

speak of movements there is our Deco

movement boom we can set it up as a

separate parameter for for this and

let's see o now we're getting something

Twisted so this is somewhat decent as

for Polish interpretation of this I will

save it you can find save at the top

right where you can click and download

uh we have bunch of houses like this we

have house like that we have house like

this let's use this one and I'm going to

just drag it into Photoshop good trick

to make people look taller is to stretch

the background a little bit taller so

they look taller how do we um

incorporate name in this in this poster

right we're going to make it fun and

make it maybe at the top somewhere here

let me select like a interesting uh font

for this so let's get to the Barbie tall

usually blonde although not all Barbies

pink uh this is sort of interesting okay

open in Photoshop select subject mhm

okay it looks like it was selected I'm

going to click on the mask and bring her

to our poster so I'm going to create a

new new layer and I'm going to sample

maybe yellow yellowy Sunny color and use

a gradient to create a circular gradient

for this I'm going to stretch this I'm

doing this to simulate the Sun a little

bit maybe we'll change the color of the

type dark purple maybe we can actually

do a little bit of trickery here so we

can add the mask and now just mask a

little bit of of this you know details

details are important let's duplicate

the sun I wanted to actually give Barbie

a little bit of space dimensionality

between her and and the building right

so I'm separating her a little bit I

wanted to create a hybrid between half

man and half horse if not I will just

hack it and create a horse let's do this

beautiful horse and then let's generate

the upper torso of of a can I'm going to

find the horse open in Photoshop boom uh

if you press C you can crop it if you

hit option and mask you you'll get the

reverse mask of course I'm going to mask

it a little bit of

course uh B

40% I remove this head then uh let's

merge it together and give it a little

bit more of the haze what I'm doing

right now I'm removing all the all the

blacks from there so all the contrast is

removed color bask so what I'm going to

affect this midtones here right so maybe

let me just scroll it here maybe I'll

will make it more pink a little bit here

and I try to affect the highlights make

it even more pink here let's go into the

shadows and make the Shadows slightly

darker maybe maybe also like pinkish in

a way of course we can do also

manipulation with the curves I'll just

darken it so what I'm doing right now

I'm guiding your eye where where you

should look at so it's sort of

vignetting essentially so I'm sort of

making you focus on on this so this is

it we designed a Polish poster for

Barbie thankk you for making this so fun

that was so fun to watch and be a part

of and thank you guys we'll see you back

again sometime soon thanks for hanging

[Music]

out hello hell welcome back I'm Ellie

I'm Arabella and we are weekend creative

we are a commercial photography duo in

San Jose Califoria californ and I am so

excited to be here today with you guys

we're going to be kind of sharing some

of the Recaps from Max London and

talking about how you can apply those to

commercial photography so it's going to

be really fun please please hop in the

chat and say hello let us know where you

guys are watching from and please feel

free to give us ideas as we go along we

want we want to you know be

collaborative with you guys so give

ideas ask questions and I I'm I'm

excited it's going to be a really fun

stream yeah we're just going to get

right into it let's get into it do you

kind of want to just do a quick overview

of what is new and where you are using

these tools and then we can dive right

into um into some photos yes exactly so

what we're going to be doing today is

going to be editing some of our

commercial images so we just did a test

shoot recently for this alcohol brand

they're like a Mescal brand and we the

photos came out so much fun so I think

we're going to get right into editing

some of those but we want to use all the

new tools that have come out in this

latest release in the Photoshop beta so

of course um if you've seen some things

already I know you know that we are

working in image model 3 which is like

ins so amazing it is incredible it's

incredible so we are getting better

results improved like a little bit

faster and we get to have some of those

features that I know I really wanted in

Adobe Firefly now within the native app

like in Photoshop beta so you know

generate similar generate background all

that kind of fun stuff that we have and

so we're just going to get right into it

let's do it so like I mentioned I have

some of these images here so let's start

with this one I feel like this's a

really fun one so we had this like idea

I don't even know where this one came

about we just like got inspired by the

backgrounds and you know just started

playing with the colors so this the

lovely brand here is called M mcal and

it's just like gorgeous colors I

absolutely love it so let me see let me

do a little fit and view so you can

actually see okay great so I Let's see

we have it shot here and I think I'm

going to warm it up just a little bit

just before we get started here oh that

already looking so much better maybe

play around with the tint a little bit

kind of bring it a little bit more on

the green side and then there we go so

let's just go ahead and open that up we

have Robert umon watching G Val of

course Sean yes okay so you guys like

normally in commercial product

photography like are usually pretty real

right and I think we'll we'll do a

little bit of that but I think we'll

also get a little Whimsical too I think

it'll be fun for this stream just to see

just to really test the limits of this

image model 3 because I've been playing

around with it and it's like insane so

normally when I'm you know cleaning up I

kind of already have like a separate

layer right and I'm going to call that

clean up so I think this is really

distracting so I'm just going to gend

fill it out why not so let's go ahead

and just not give it a prompt and let it

do its thing so if you generate

something without a prompt Photoshop

will know that you want to actually just

replace that or remove it exactly and

it's going to show me all the variations

here on the right one second oh my gosh

like beautiful beautiful and if you

wanted to add something specific that's

when you would enter your prompt exactly

exactly so I'm going to do that I'm also

like I don't know why but this is like

annoying me right here this like blue

bottom of this little chest piece so I'm

going to do the same thing I'm just

going to J fill it and the way that this

has like improved my workflow you guys

I'm using this in my commercial work in

our commercial work right now like it

even if it's just to like get to that

you know what would have taken me 10 15

minutes like does it so easily like look

at that that's amazing I like the little

wait I like the other one do you like

the other one too what about this one I

like Oh I like that one best like that's

the best one yeah right okay that looks

so good it looks so so good G I'm

obsessed okay amazing so let's go ahead

and go over to these I don't know are

you feeling like this yellow is like I'm

not into the yellow I'm not into the

yellow either right like I wonder if we

can just Gill it all let's do you know

maybe I'll do a few at a time and see if

it'll see if it will do if it will

multiple at once yeah perfect so let's

go ahead and click that and then there

we go so it always takes a few a few

moments but honestly it's so much

quicker than before like I feel like it

used to be where you're like you know

like

thing where it's like 100 hours

later hey look at that hey okay amazing

that did a pretty good job and I love

that it continued to like retain the

texture and okay that one's I think my

favorite that's really good A little bit

of yellow is fine it's just the bigger

spots kind of distracting B SP yeah so

I'm going to go ahead and do that over

here as well perfect and and if you want

to get access to all of the new updates

you have to download the Photoshop Beta

app app which you can find in your

Creative Cloud um if you go to all apps

and then search for the beta amazing you

can download that and play around with

all of these new features beautiful okay

so that looks good to me I think for now

and then we're going to get into

actually like maybe like changing up

things that you know and adding things

that weren't there before so okay that's

pretty good like wow that looks awesome

amazing love it it like totally cleaned

that up okay the other thing that I

wanted to do was like okay I feel like

this this cocktail right here is super

cute with the little pepper but I feel

like this one's a little bit boring so

I'm going to just the pepper is just

kind of you can't really see it you

can't really see it and honestly I think

I just want to like change the entire

cocktail you know why not okay let's do

it let's see what happens I feel like

that's the phrase of the century it's

like let's see what

happens so let's go ahead and change it

to a you know um

cocktail Orange orange cocktail with a

orange garnish orange slice garnish

let's see what happens maybe it maybe I

don't know how it's going to do since

we've kind of G given it a shape already

with the selection but we'll see what

happens okay let's see I'm excited I

feel like this is always like the heart

I'm I'm very curious how it's going to

deal I know with wow that is very

impressive oh I love that one that one

is okay that one was a little funky but

okay let's

say glass is gorgeous I mean come on

like wow and then if you do a little

generate similar then we can see if

there's more options that we have that

we can play with I love I love that we

can generate similar now cuz that is

something that in Firefly has been so

awesome being able to do that in

Photoshop yes yes exactly and then let's

see says time for a cocktail time for a

cocktail I know you guys and this is

such a good ooh

oh wait oh my God look at how it added

the

little looks a little funky I think that

that first one was first one is still

yeah even this one though too is

actually kind of pretty one is really

good I just don't like the gloss as much

I know I don't either I think you're

right this one is like prettier yeah

okay let's do that um and then let's see

okay I don't really love that this

whatever happened here yeah so I'm just

going to weird you know let's see if we

can just gen fill it maybe it'll decide

that it wants to remove it I don't know

I did keep the shadow maybe I should

have selected the shadow as well but

let's see what it does you know let's

see what Happ see what happens we'll see

what happens I'm telling you it's the

thing you have to say like

anytime oh D I'm kind of into that wait

I kind of like the marble honestly wait

okay I also like this one though too cuz

it's kind of like the the shadow of it

but I do like the marble as well the

shadow is kind of kind of weird the

shadow is weird so maybe like we just

need to also remove remove it and then

have it fix the shadow we add some

marbles and other spots I kind I think

so I think we should I like the little

subtle pop of green oh yeah let's do it

um so I feel like we should because this

is such a like funky you know what I was

thinking it reminds me of like aliceon

Wonderland a little bit and I feel like

we should just like add like really

funky thing oh my gosh you guys wow oh

my gosh that I'm just like that is

amazing literally amazing okay wow okay

so how about we add something here then

okay maybe another little marble ball

yeah a light green marble yeah light

green marble with Shadow okay so what

you could do is you could screenshot

that other one and upload it as a

reference image if it doesn't do

something that's similar enough you know

what and you are absolutely right I

think that's what I have to do let's see

let's see what it does maybe it will

know oh actually I like the glass I like

the glass too let meate that a lot I

like it too oh my gosh that's really

good though thank you Val she just

dropped our Instagram in the chat if you

want to follow us on Instagram weekend

creative is our Instagram and if you

guys use any of the tips that you learn

on the stream please tag us and share

your your work we would love to see what

you guys create amazing okay so I did a

generate similar o this one's the best

one one I think either that one or this

one look at the way it's doing the

shadow I know that's so pretty I

actually like that I'm fine that they're

different yeah I'm okay with them do

different too okay what if we added like

a lizard or something yes like what if

yes what if it's climbing up the bottle

what if it yeah or something I don't put

like let's let's do it right here where

it's like really hard okay let's see I

like this pepper there's two ooh like

one there and then one one's like over

here maybe how about one's there and

then maybe one's on like the other side

oops yes okay let's do it let's start

with one okay Miguel says literally

magic let me do lizard hanging

out do you think it

knows do you think it understands does

it know what hanging out does it hang

out oh my gosh I love it fir you relax

you guys okay it's kind of weird though

I know but I kind of love it but it's

kind of creepy oh my God that looks so

good really good okay do you see guys

like it's like taking into account that

like the glass is still there we still

want to keep it but it's like decided to

put it behind that's really I really you

don't like that one no I like him he

just looks kind of creepy but I he's he

he's growing on me he's yeah okay look

it it's kind of like um a little bit

like a dragon yeah maybe okay you know

what the green is is a Vibe the green

goes specific like a again we could

generate um one in Firefly and bring it

in or on another page just or specific

kind of lizard exactly let's um let's do

like a little let's generate cuz that's

another thing that we can do we can

literally just generate image now you

can use a reference image which is such

a GameChanger okay so what kind of

lizard what kind of liard do we want

let's see um it has to be like a very

kind of lizard me neither you guys help

us in the chat guys what are kinds of

lizards green and black and cream

textured lizard hanging out maybe well

it doesn't need to hang out here cuz

it's just going to be that's true but I

feel like when you get closer to what it

like it does a better job you know so

let's let's see what happens I don't

know you know and we didn't give it a

background either so I don't even know

how it's going to how it's going to do

it we we'll just see what happens but I

did select photo I guess I could also

add something wow

that's actually beautiful that's use the

texture and the details yeah okay let's

oh Robert asked if we can put something

inside of the gloss ooh okay let's do

definitely try let's do that okay so let

me go ahead and save this really quickly

as um for the

reference okay so if I go back here and

I go into here I can click on this

little icon that says reference image

and now we can choose so we've got our

lizard let's see what happens let's see

although actually this is pretty close

to like I mean that's actually yeah yeah

it really is maybe it'll give us like

some fun results you know you never you

do need to own the rights to whatever

image you are using as a reference image

whether that's a stock image that you've

licensed on Adobe

stock or something that you generated or

an image that you've taken and this is

what I mean by you have to have it

pretty CL be kind of in the similar um

PL like the

similar you know what I'm into him him

okay what if we do what what did we say

somebody inside oh something inside the

glass what if we add another kind of

garnish or something in there like maybe

a flower or something yeah okay maybe

like a wildf flower garnish cocktail

garnish maybe I should add that so it

knows okay um what kind of color um

maybe like a yellow

yeah yeah that's that's fun yeah okay

let's do it why not we've got the orange

we need a little something yeah it feels

like this needs to have like a bring the

yellow from the dice yes exactly yeah

okay hopefully it just knows what to do

and oh oh that's actually really cute oh

I kind of like that too actually I like

it too I feel like it fits the color of

that even a little can you generate

similar just to see more options but I I

like that one I'm into that one too that

is really cute um but yeah anyway I was

thinking that like the earlier I was

playing around with adding like you know

like a little girl with a blue dress and

a white apron Wonder yeah can't actually

put you know put those words in because

they won't know oh I like this I like

that one that's my favorite oo which one

do we like I like the the middle one or

I kind of been into this one I don't

know I kind of like the orange middle

though yeah the shape is really good I

just like I like that this one's a

little bit more

connected yeah that's fine yeah it is

right you're right all right that looks

cute I'm obsessed with that okay so

let's go ahead and add just like the

chat is asking for a cocktail umbrella

oh okay let's do that to this one yes

how about we do it to this one so let's

do and hopefully I'm doing this right

let's see is that like a pretty big

enough selection here yeah you can also

you guys like feather your sele to to

kind of like help things blend out blend

in a little bit more but honestly jfil

just does it right all the time

so cocktail umbrella garnish uh what

color red yeah red cocktail umbrella

umbrella garnish that's kind of fun you

guys good suggestions I'm into

[Laughter]

it I love it ooh oh my gosh okay I'm

trying to think of what else I could get

inspired by I guess maybe like um like

plants maybe some plants we can add some

little Cactus or

something oh I like that one that's

better okay let me maybe I need to have

a better selection maybe it need to be

lower angle is kind of weird yeah here

let me let me do a little lower like

that okay

red uh cocktail umbrella garnish that's

really cute though I'm into it good good

suggestions you guys mhm keep them

coming I know I I just love

experimenting I me can you believe like

we couldn't even do this like you would

have to take hours to like add stuff

okay yes okay yes wow this one I think

is it that's the best one that's the

best one should I generate some more and

see if there's a better one let's see

okay cool I'm into

it um but yeah earlier I was playing

around with adding like a little girl

like kind of like you know running in

between the like chest

pieces cuz she's lost she's lost she's

lost she needs to find her way she needs

to find her mom that's what she needs to

do MRE yeah

Madre ooh oh I like that one you could

add like a drink meat tag to the you

know how in Al and it's like take me eat

me yes okay which one should we do and

then like a maybe like a little um like

a pastry or something that's like a

little like a little cookie or something

yeah I don't know but like which one

should we add the drink me tag probably

to the bottle yeah actually tag to the

bottle and I don't think it will add the

text I don't think so either but that's

that's okay we can add it ourselves yeah

for sure so let's go ahead and yeah

Keith says being mcal maybe a cactus

somewhere on the table yes a cactus

would be great maybe something like yes

maybe maybe it's like coming from the

side so it like more like actually yeah

okay cocktail straws is another kind of

fun cocktail straws yeah good idea guys

oh my gosh I love it okay so I don't

really know what kind of selection I

need to make for this

like it's kind of a wild one okay let's

see let's see maybe maybe it's like uh

maybe it's a cactus plant in a pot in a

pot in a maybe it's in like a colorful

oh a guitar wow you guys oh my gosh like

I can't even keep up okay let's do like

and it's off to the side so it's not

like fully you know like cacti cacti or

Cactus tell us in the chat okay Cactus

oh cacti means multiple

yeah Cactus I should know this Cactus my

last name is espanosa you guys and in

Spanish it means thorny so Cactus cacti

or my I relate I

let's find out or terracotta maybe like

a Terra Cotta or something a decorated

terracotta pot terra cotta that's with

two RS and two T's right I think though

is it one word or two words I know let's

try we're going to find out we're going

to find out um that'll be fun actually

that'll tie in some of the green that

we're missing I think cuz we've got some

green elements here but we need

something over here want to add another

animal I know I kind of do two

o oh okay it doesn't know terra cotta

kind of crop this because we had sort of

planned for it to be only like a

4x5 but you guys now we can keep it you

know oh okay yes that's the one that is

the one it even took into account where

the light coming from the light is

coming from this way you can see it on

that midle bottle and it took that into

account on the pot amazing okay I love

this I kind of wonder if I want to make

it bigger or is that okay maybe generate

similar we'll see because someone said

the guitar we could put the guitar kind

of behind yeah behind the good idea good

idea this is like a musical like you

know like now we're going into Coco I

know yeah we're going into Coco here you

guys I watched that movie seven times in

the theater it's such a good movie it's

such a good movie yes I spent that much

money but it was so

good wa oh I love this one but I wish it

was just a little bit better okay I'm

into this one I think that one yes I

wonder if I can like move it just

slightly oh no it's going to take into

account like all that can you remove the

background and then move it yeah let me

see um I wonder what would be the best

way maybe something like that and then I

can always go into the layer mask yes

and fix oops fix

that well it's I'm going to that that

needs to gets fixed but you know you you

can I just want like this I guess I

could also here's what I'll do I know

what I'll do I'll just do another J fill

really want whatever's Happening Here I

like it looks weird looks weird it looks

weird it look kind of looks like a

charcoal like thing

yeah is that better you know what maybe

I'll just need to like do a little stamp

pile kind of like that I wish it was

more spread out I wish it was less I

know dried chili peppers can you give it

a number can you say three or something

think it'll know okay yeah no good good

idea cuz then it'll be kind of like a

little sparse like a little you know

evenly spaced out okay I'm into this

Okay cool so fun I know I am obsessed

okay hopefully it knows that that's what

I want okay well it gave us

four I don't think that it's like kind

Peter says Chili's on a

string oh yes okay dried or chili

peppers on a string they're dried if

they're on a string dried chili peppers

on a string I you guys I don't grocery

of like Peppers that I have like no so

many kinds of peppers so many kinds like

whenever we like during Christmas we

always make the tamales and we always

have to make the sauce for the meat and

I can't even like I don't even remember

the pronunciation of these these Peppers

but they're like waho and this and that

and I'm like I can't remember at all I

just yeah yum I don't mind that one that

one's fine it's not on a string but

that's okay that's okay that's fine okay

do we need to add another animal we need

to add another animal right like what

should it be should we have

maybe like one back here yeah what

should it be though I mean I'm partial

scorpion I don't like scorp a scorpion

let's do a scorpion I feel like that's

the

vibe oh no he doesn't know you know it's

funny cuz every time I tried to do a hat

it doesn't understand but maybe it

doesn't know SoMo I I need to like Tell

It Hat let's see but it might do not

on it just get yeah Mexican hat Peter

says yeah let's try that I don't know

I've tried to do a lot of different hats

and it just hats are hard but you know

that's the thing is hats really aren't

that hard so I don't know why it can't

you guys it can't do it oh my gosh wait

I like this one why is it doing it not

on the not on it is it cuz of my

selection do you think no I did select

it what the

the okay well what I could always do I

mean once i' once I've generated it I

could truly just you know select it you

know and then like you need to merge

some layers down Firefly get I prob but

I can always do a copy Merch this pick

is getting so

hot fire even a 10 hatot okay this is

like such a like weird way to select and

unselect but I'm just going to do it

really quickly just cuz I really want

this Sombrero let's do it let's do it

okay and then I'm just selecting let me

do a shift to add to my selection okay

and then what I can do is I do command

shift C for copy merg and then paste it

and then I can remove it and then I can

just bring this down and I think that'll

be good I can always add some shadows

and stuff like that but that'll be I

feel like that's pretty good oh my gosh

okay let's do a little Scorpion and I

think we're it with this image but I do

want to do some adjustments so we can

use our adjustment brush also a new

feature well a new feature so let's go

ahead and add the

Scorpion it's massive SC SC hanging out

massive no but I think it'll know that

like you know maybe maybe I don't know

you give you give it a lot of credit

sometimes it does know sometimes it does

sometimes it knows I mean like it

obviously reads the entire scene to know

like perspective wise true see oh my God

I love that it's just the I know I kind

I don't like

it wait you guys this is so good I'm

obsessed I love it should I give it a

color though maybe like I I don't mind

it does a scorpion have other colors oh

a pink

scorpion is that a thing you think

that's what sayess let's do it why not

let's just try and if not we have

anything we want it to be I feel like

we're missing something here yeah an

armadillo an

armadillo so precious wait why don't we

add another like a larger

marble oh my gosh you

guys wow it's definitely giving like the

like a little bit

more want Margarita you know what I'm

kind of into it I'm into it let's leave

it for it okay one last thing let's add

one one okay that's really

big a green scorpion okay you got to

make up your mind

here oh I need to add the shadow too

okay last thing and then we're good good

wow we're getting ahead of ourselves

here I love it it's looking amazing um

let's do like

a green marble with Shadow again let's

see what it does hopefully it does

exactly what I want to so for anyone who

is just joining us Arabella is working

in a Photoshop beta showing the new

features that have just been released as

of today so make sure that you download

the Beta app so that you can play around

with these new features she's showing um

image model 3 which is now in Photoshop

beta it's also on Firefly on the web in

preview so you can check it out there as

well and next up she's going to be

showing some adjustment brushes which is

also a new feature yes you guys we're

just getting a little wild over here

with all of these Generations I mean the

results are just incredible like I'm

going to just like group all this and

show you everything that we generated

that is yeah it is crazy and it's just

insane oh a gem yeah I figured a gem

that might be kind of fun like something

like this like that's pretty I'm into

this let me actually call this SoMo so

that I remember what that is okay and

then now the other thing that I want to

do so let's go ahead and just group all

these things together so you can see

every wow that was a lot but so fast

it's so fast okay Jen Phil for the

win okay you guys wow wow

are you kidding me the image model three

is so fire so fire okay so let's keep it

moving so I'm going to just grab the

whole thing and copy merge and paste it

and then we are going to make some

adjustments so I'm going to I'm just

going to call it clean 2.0 but it really

isn't more cleaning it's just more more

fun so I'm going to go over to this

brush over here we've got the adjustment

brush tool you guys this is a fun little

tool that instead of like having to do

some extra steps you kind of kind of

save a little step so basically I can

just start painting and you can see and

I again I had brightness contrast

already set up here um but you can you

know you can start with another a

different thing maybe you want to do

like levels or something yeah and

basically let's see did I do that right

oh yeah there we go okay so I have the

opacity super low but if I had it at 100

like you can you know you can get really

crazy here but let me actually make sure

that and actually I'm going to go back a

little bit here let's do a

curves and let's go ahead and bring down

this

opacity and I can just start oh waa

that's that's like too much oh my gosh

czy crazy well let's go ahead and just

paint it and let's bring this whole

thing down a little bit because it

doesn't need to be as much and then if I

really wanted to continue then I can

just keep on moving like let's say I

just wanted to make all the brighten up

this whole thing it is like the light is

coming from the left so it's going to

naturally have a little bit of a you

know and that looks realistic you want

to keep I want to keep some of it but

you know you also want to make sure that

the label is legible and the focus of

the image because this is a product

photo exactly exactly and I have like a

soft brush already I think like selected

already then of course I can just kind

of toggle back between like removing it

um or adding it so it's pretty cool um

and then you can just I think I'm

supposed to have like a little where's

my little contextual test bar where'd

you go where'd you go I don't know where

oh there it is okay so basically if you

have that here you can also just add a

new adjustment amazing and then let's

say I wanted to change the color of

something then I can just kind of Select

this and actually I'm supposed to be

doing the opposite there we go so if I

select

that there we go so now I can just

select makes the whole masking process a

lot easier cuz you don't have to make a

mask you can just paint it where you

want it to be and and then do the

adjustment exactly so it's just like

painting like it's it's just a a fun new

way to kind of Select things so let's

say if I wanted to let me add a new

adjustment Hue saturation I wanted to

change the color of this so I can just

start

painting on this

orange like Vinyl cover is that what

it's called yeah Joshua say the brush

definitely saves a click or two yeah

it's great absolutely and then maybe I

actually want to increase the opacity a

little bit more so let's do a

70% and it's kind of weird because at

first it doesn't look like you're doing

anything but it this for the Hue and

saturation you have to like then make

the adjustments yeah so it's definitely

a lot more noticeable once you when you

do like a curves or levels but it's

pretty cool um so let me go ahead and

just and it might affect a little bit

over here but we can always go back into

like remove things but let's go ahead

and change it to Reds and then now we

can like make it a little bit more fun

but do you see how obviously like I it's

very painterly and I had a very low

opacity so you know if you really wanted

to add more then start at opacity 100%

or something like that but like how cool

that I can just make these little tweaks

like make it a little bit more red and

then I can go back in with a more like

you know a little bit more of a sharper

hardness and then this time I

can remove javiera says that's

incredible there we go

amazing yeah so then I can just make

sure to clean that up

perfect

beautiful yeah cuz you don't want that's

so that's the one thing about having

like monochromatic images is like you

know you have to be careful with what uh

when you're selecting your your

selections definitely have to be a

little bit more fine-tuned yes otherwise

you're going to affect pretty much

everything okay like that's awesome if

we want made it a little bit more red

and it just kind of is a little bit more

striking right I love it fun I looks so

good I know okay cool so let's let's

move on to a different image I feel like

let's have fun so I have let's see uh

let's go ahead and remove this guy bye

bye so I have another image here that we

plan to also have as just a

4x5 um or a vertical and and you know

it'd be really fun if we could like fill

out the whole scene so let's just do it

so again I'm going to just bring up that

temperature a little bit to kind of make

it a little bit more what it's supposed

to be kind of supposed to be a little

bit more

warmer and then actually I do kind of

like it a little bit like that okay

let's go ahead and open that up and

actually I could have done a a few more

adjustments really maybe I'll do that

this stream is brought to you by the

color red yeah

literally so let's go ahead and just

just uh just start going in so I'm going

to call that our clean layer and let's

just see what we need to clean up so do

we want to extend this maybe like kind

of fill it out a little bit yeah let's

do it why not let's see okay so gen fill

we got to just you know let it do let it

do

[Laughter]

thing but it's really just amazing like

and if we wanted to we can always um you

know expand too and add like if we

wanted to go even more wow that's

beautiful so good oh my gosh that's so

good all the WoW both of those wait hold

on kind of like the one where it's

almost all the way wait yeah I like that

and then maybe I'll just like add this

because this is really good who who gave

us that suggestion thank you who was it

Peter someone oh um we ke also says we

could add some paintings onto the vase

that' be kind of fun ooh I'm into that

that's actually a really good way to

like decorate you know things that are

already in your scene you know and you

just want to give them a little bit more

o I like this one I kind like that oh I

like this one I think I like this less

and less realistic I know I think I like

this one I like that one okay okay wait

let's do the snake Okay let's do the

see okay a snake

slithering um Rattlesnake or like a

Slytherin snake um yeah a

rattlesnake snake

slythering I think I'm just thinking of

this is going to be suspenseful this is

like pretty hardcore I kind of love this

because it's just like why is it too

okay no this wow wow you guys okay it

got the shadow job good job Photoshop

okay the face is looking a little funky

but I think that's okay we can always

like we adjust the face maybe we can

just gen fill the face

only you think it maybe I should have

put like snake face yeah maybe let's see

let's see snake head maybe rattlesnake

head rattlesnake head yeah or maybe it's

just the rattle actually that's kind of

details says sorry no snake for

me do you guys see how like the details

are still like everything from like the

Shadow the oh there we go yeah oh there

we go oh okay that's it too much I mean

too

far I like this one I think that's

that's good yeah that's good okay you

guys oh the detail is definitely a lot

better cuz I just worked small like in

this one but okay I want you guys to

notice that it took into account where

the Shadows of the bottle and the um

bowls and made sure that it was in the

shadow right so everything's darkened

here whereas like if you try to do this

on your own like my go you have add that

yourself and it takes forever forever

okay what if what if there's another

snake like w coiled like wrapped in here

is that weird let's try it okay no do it

see see what it does scary it's so

scary okay how would it like it would

probably come up a little bit

right clever says that's a boas's head

the fat one is more like the Viper that

rers are

M okay I know nothing about animal I

mean snakes I mean we can we can switch

it snake I mean I kind of like it into

it a snake coiled

up hanging

out that's like my favorite thing to add

josa says I love how much fun you all

are having using genil yes F so fun it's

Play here's here's the one thing so with

in commercial photography right like to

actually get animals and on set

ridiculous so expensive ridiculous and I

there are shoots out there commercial

want to have a snake on set I know there

are commercial shoots out there where

people have gotten actual like

butterflies or bugs like as part of like

Rings or like accessories and like I

mean we just saved ourselves so much

well one like a scary situation where

something happens you know but like Wow

money you have to pay for a snake

Handler who has the budget for that who

has the budget for that no nobody

unless you're super super

rich I kind of don't mind the green into

the green yeah the green is the best one

yeah and I'm going to just because it

like did a weird thing here I'm just

going to go in with the brush and remove

that making sure that my um foreground

color is black because I'm working on

that mask right so if there's something

that you're like I didn't really like

that um just go ahead and remove it like

that's it that's all you got to do there

you go you know that's it perfect I

really like that that's really cute okay

you're

right um but yeah so I just love that we

can like some of the things that I've

been like playing around with in Firefly

or that we have been we can now do in

here and it's awesome and you could

definitely do this as a way to mock up

that that I'm good with that even this

one that good I like that one I'm this

one you can do this as a way to mock up

images that you could use um as you know

ideas to show your client which is

always super helpful Peter really wants

an armadillo oh passing through should I

do this one then on this side maybe an

Arad yeah maybe small though okay how

how big are armadillos I don't know I'm

AR they pretty big okay I don't know I

uh okay is that how your SP baby ar oh

whoops arm

with two baby armadillo passing through

hanging out just

kidding that's the theme of this stream

think it's well then maybe it'll just

get I think it's just one l oh

whoops well we'll see maybe it'll still

hopefully I'm like I can't even like

necessarily picture an armadel in my

head right now I'm just picturing oh

wait I'm kind of into it it's so tiny I

actually kind of like the grass I really

like it I don't know why I don't know

what that is oh no I like the grass and

I like I really like the tiny arm to you

guys it's so small I just want to like

you know oh I want chocolate but I'll

settle for a cacao fruit ooh I don't

even know what that looks like I don't

even know what that looks like either I

mean should we generate like a new thing

and see what keer I want to know what

the name of your tarantula was oh my god

I've been wondering tell me okay let's

see so like what were we just talking

about it's like um cacao fruit caca

fruit um on a sunny fruit tree no I

think like just the fruit cuz where we

going to put a tree cacao fruit on a

table is that is it like is that what is

that what is happening I don't know I I

feel like I need a it's a mini mini

armadillo oh yeah painting on the vase

yes we have to do that we have six

minutes perfect okay oh the yes wow that

is cool I like that that is cool okay

I'm into it let's definitely add that

okay now that you know sorry I'm like

yeah now that you know what it looks

like let's see how it like does it to

like actually add it and if it doesn't

we can use that as let's do it like here

yes okay maybe that's too big okay there

we go okay

uh caca fruit with Shadow maybe I mean

the shadow will fall this way but baby

armadillo me love it too you guys I just

keep thinking of um have you guys

watched the episode of Friends with the

holiday armadillo it's a great episode I

have not I'm sorry he's the holiday

[Laughter]

armadillo oh my gosh so good I wow

beautiful you guys oh my God I mean I

kind of like the empty one too like the

first

one yeah wait can I generate similar let

me see okay sometimes I feel like we

generate similar and of course things

can are going to improve you know um but

I feel like the more you generate

similar the more unrealistic it starts

to turn so I feel like you have to kind

of only do it once or like you know it's

like it's it's a give or take but you

know what oh hey I mean that's not bad I

still kind of like the first one I still

like the first one too maybe I just

again let's do it again and then see

okay we'll see maybe uh I really like it

though that's pretty

cool um okay definitely got to do the

decorative uh that's actually a really

good use case like let's see how it does

with the texture and the shadow and the

light okay

[Laughter]

oh oh I kind of like that one too yeah I

like the empty for some reason but we

can keep this one what do you think I'm

fine either way okay let's keep that one

okay cool so now let's do let's put some

red painting on the vase yes so maybe we

do

like we kind of follow the

motion actually maybe I'm just going to

do like I'm going to select it all so I

want it to

like

also do it like this right yeah see what

it

does see what it does

okay what do we what do we how do we

describe this though R red floral red de

FL red decorative red decorative paint

flowers flowers and swirls with flowers

and swirls Mexican will

it um will it no maybe red Mexican style

decorative paint with flower let's just

do that let's no swirls let's see what

happens if like maybe it'll just know to

do the little like things you know I

have like something in my head but I

like can't necessarily I don't even know

what that's called what the style you

know what I mean oh an Inca vase m is

that what it's called maybe wow good job

so smart I know y'all are so

smart um wait that's actually kind of

cute it didn't do it like for all of it

maybe okay this is actually kind of cute

though M oh Aztec yes okay

yes Aztec red Aztec decorative

paint with should I remove the flowers

let's see hopefully he knows what what

to do but otherwise like maybe what I

need to do actually select I could do

this all day me too me too and we are

doing it all day cuz there we are are

three more streams after this um next up

is going to be retouching and

compositing with Aaron nce and Andrew

will be back as well and then at noon

Pacific Time Arabella is going to be

generating some magazine covers they're

going to be so fun you guys cat

magazines so definitely stick around for

that and then another stream um with

Andrew after that about compositing a um

layout so okay it didn't do what I

wanted it to do that looks like candy

cane or something so I'm just going to

do red decorative paint with flowers

maybe without like a style and then

it'll it'll do it but I think that might

be our last generation oh my gosh I

can't believe it how did we get here

already I I'll have to zoom out just so

you guys can see it all

but wow I love it I honestly I did

really like the flowers actually the

from earlier they were not that bad they

were not bad I'm just curious what it'll

oh no okay you know what this was the

the best that we could get the best one

thank you guys so much for joining like

I said there are so many more streams

coming up all the rest of the day so

make sure that you stick around

subscribe to Adobe Live on YouTube so

that you can know when whenever they're

live um every day which is awesome and

um also follow W live on Instagram so

you know what's coming up and we will

see you guys in a little bit

bye today's class is all about how to

improve your workflow in

Photoshop we've got a JPEG and I've got

a a file that's Adobe stock we're going

to drag them both right into into

Photoshop now let's say that you were

working with a logo and your client says

Hey I want to see that in a real world

setting we're going to start by removing

all of the actual branding that was on

the building so you can hit L for your

lasso tool there making selections

around the existing logo we're going to

click on generative fill and if you want

to remove something I generally just

don't type anything in there at all I'll

just click right here on generate and

you can see there yep it's completely

removed it like magic pretty great

object removal to start off with I I'm

want to create a new document I'm going

to hit controller command n so let's use

our move tool we're going to just click

and drag and bring those in I'm on my

layer one I'm going to hit M for my

Marquee tool and I'm just going to make

a selection right around that logo and

then selecting on layer one I'm going to

hit controller command J it's going to

take whatever of the content that was in

that selection and it's just going to

duplicate that onto a new layers now

we're just going to do this a few

different times I want this to be in the

exact center you can hit controll or

command a to select all click on your

move tool you're going to see your

alignment controls right over here so if

I want it in the center well I just go

Center and Center if I wanted to shift

click all these layers I can then Center

Boop and Boop check that out all of our

logos are perfectly centered so let's go

to file we're going to go to save as

logo. PSD time to place we're going to

go to our file menu and go all the way

down where it says Place linked and then

I'm just going to choose logo. PSD what

we just said we're going to hit

controller command T to bring our

transform window up I'm going to just

start to shrink this down a little bit I

want it to kind of look like it's in

perspective hold control or command and

you're going to have your little white

arrow and you can just click on that

just drag that up we're going to create

a new solid color fill layer right above

it all right let's just choose a white

color I'm going to right click on this

layer and I'm going to go down to where

it says create a clipping mask it's

automatically going to make this layer

here only visible where the layer

underneath it is visible so I'm going to

double click here on the color so we

want to choose a color from our photo a

color that might be White in real life

but that doesn't mean that it's

perfectly white in the photograph so

we're just going to do the same exact

process put it right about there we can

scale this down even more if you just

click and drag there it's going to scale

it but it's going to do it from the

opposite corner if you want to scale

from the center hold alt or option and

that'll scale it from the center I want

to see if I can take some of the

reflection and put it over top of my

window sign L for my lasso tool and

let's just go ahead and grab this entire

glass now we're going to hit controller

command J and that's going to just

duplicate that onto a new layer and I'm

going to click and just drag that right

above my logo and then we're going to

right click on this and I'm going to say

create clipping mask we're going to

change it to a screen blend mode these

Reflections are now showing up over top

of my logo a lot of the times edges in

photographs are actually not that sharp

so I'm going to go to filter we're going

to go down to blur and I'm going to go

to a gap iian blur something really

really small so as we zoom out it's

going to look wow that looks pretty real

so now check this out if I want to

switch this to let's say this one

literally all I have to do is save this

I hit controller command s to save it

and boom it automatically updates in

place with the perspective with the

color and also has the reflection placed

over top of it blending mode tips let's

do it we've got a picture of our subject

let's just grab our move tool I'm going

to click and drag from one image to

another now anytime you have light

elements on a dark background you can

use the blending mode screen and it's

going to make the dark background

completely invisible right above your

layer stack we're going to use screen

we're just going to scale this up rotate

it you can transform it and now let's

say this is a little bit too distracting

right here on her face right we're just

going to click on the layer mask icon

just paint black on our layer mask and

boom it's gone we've got our last

example here I just want to cut this

candy can P out right so I'm going to

use the pen tool to do this I'm going to

right click on this and we're going to

go to where it says make selection

duplicate that and then I'm going to

click and drag from one image to another

and as you can see this doesn't really

look realistic at all convert this to a

Smart object next we're going to do is

hit controller command L for our levels

I want to go to my individual channels

we're doing that with our red Channel

we're going to do it with our green

Channel we'll just go ahead and pull

that down and we're going to do it with

our blue channel so this allows me to

make this darker while at the same time

I can color balance it is I'm going to

hit controller command U for our Hue

saturation so I'm going to go where it

says Reds and we're just going to get it

a little bit closer to the Reds that are

actually in my picture I think this is

the tip of the day doing the tip of the

day Dance I'm doing the tip of the day

dance it's hovering it needs a shadow

right so let's hold controll or command

and click on the candy cane That's just

going to turn that layer into a

selection I'm going to make a new layer

we're going to go to edit and I'm just

going to go to fill we'll just fill it

with white you we're going to use our

lasso tool so I'm going to define the

area that I want to use generative fill

and on a new layer we'll hit shift

delete and I'll just fill this with a

color I'm going to hold control or

command and click on that layer you can

see it's now a selection and then I'm

going to go to this layer and hit delete

so let's turn that into a selection by

hold controll or command and just click

on that layer this is around the candy

cane but not the candy cane and on a new

layer I'm going to just go to generative

fill and it's going to give us a perfect

shadow look at that so this went from

not looking realistic at all it

generated a perfect Shadow thank you all

for joining we will see you next time

folks we'll see you around the

bent bye

everyone hello everyone welcome back

into intro Our Guest I'll use some words

from the chat it is uh Kane says he

gives so many great great Photoshop tips

I love watching his videos that's right

it's Aaron nce y'all oh what's up Andrew

hey everyone in the chat good to see you

guys nice to see you all here we are

covering a lot of the new things that

are available today in the Photoshop

Beta app uh and if we want to hop over

to my screen real quick I want to show

you where you can download that just to

make sure that we're all on the same

page here so you're going to open up the

Creative Cloud desktop app and from

there you are going to go to apps and

you'll see in the beta tab right here

you will be able to grab right there

NextGen AI is here you can download that

and work with us today so Aaron hi

welcome tell us about you who you are

what you do give us the rundown hey guys

my name is Aaron nce I teach Photoshop

and photography online under the uh

umbrella flarn so if you guys have ever

watched our videos FL it's like

Photoshop learn learn yes it's fun to

say uh been teaching for over 10 years

now it's been almost a DEC deade and

release free videos on YouTube and then

we have a website where we have more

advanced content as well so super

excited to be here and excited to get

into these new features in Photoshop

this is like blowing me away all these

like updates to like all these AI tools

that we've used and like they blew us

away last year and they're just doing it

again again and again and again uh and

it's funny uh K I don't I think was

watching the cutdown that was happening

the clip that was happening before we

transitioned which was you and here you

are uh so yes in theud we have

manifested we said his name three times

and he is here now um so let's go ahead

and hop in and take a look at what we're

going to be working on in Photoshop O

Fashion right yes drama okay so we're

we're starting with this image and

looking really good I want to just like

add more green to this photo because

it's it's already really cool so let's

go ahead and zoom into this photo and

the first thing I want to do is I want

to put a green hat on our subject so

we're just going to basically make a

quick selection now I know you guys saw

with week in Creative uh like the new

tool so we're going to go up here to

generative fill and I'm just going to

type in green hat there we go green hat

and then click on generate so we have

some new options within the beta we can

generate completely from scratch kind of

like Adobe Firefly basically coming

right into Photoshop um but we can also

generate similar so if we

like yes I'm getting yes on a lot of

these let's go ahead and click on

generate one more time just so we have a

few different options and we're going to

start off by showing you two of these

brand new features within Photoshop

which are it's kind of GameChanger

honestly like every time there's added

features to this AI stuff like I already

thought it was so good like as perfect

as it'll ever get and then it gets

better yeah okay so that one looks

pretty cool so it's into it it's a weird

little but it kind of matches you know

her her clothing there so what we're

going to do is let's say we like this

one we're going to go right over here to

our little thumbnail okay and we can

actually go here and say generate

similar now for the first time so

generate similar and basically it's just

going to make more options that are

relatively close to this so if you have

something that you like and you want to

create like you know variations of that

generate similar is the way to go so

they're just going to generate right up

here ooh I like these little beans

that's actually pretty that's better

okay that's actually pretty cool so the

beanie looks good and then now we're

going to move into like the next big

like ask from so many people is like I

like this but I want a higher resolution

version of this and we can do that for

the first time ever so if you go to your

thumbnail here you'll see this little

icon which will just generate a higher

resolution now in this case it's saying

the variation is too small yes which is

interesting that it's basically checking

is what you generated losing its quality

because of the size and if it isn't it's

basically just saying like hey you're

good it's already good you're good so

you only run into that if you're working

with like really high quality images um

and it will just give you a little bit

of extra texture a little bit of extra

enhancement yes and so I I did that

earlier too so I was like okay let's

just try like a larger area there we go

so we're going to just kind of come

right down

here and make our selection there we go

we'll go to generative fil and I'm just

going to type in green

dress yes and this is leveraging doe

Firefly image model three um I don't

think we ever got two in Photoshop we

just jumped straight to three um and so

it is available in Photoshop beta as

well as on the uh web in a preview so

you can check that out it is way way

better than what has uh been happening

the past ooh a nice little like long

it's turned into a dress it's turned

into what we had a shirt and a skirt

before but it's turned into a dress

let's just do I like this let's do that

again let's try dot dot dot generate

similar once more cuz I I do like what's

going on this is a little bit like I

want I don't want to see those things

yep and uh I believe that the enhance

works if you are generating larger than

1,000 by 1,000 pixels yes so if your

width or height is more than 1,000

pixels I believe that's when the um

resolution will start to uh go down a

little bit and then you can use that

enhance all right so let's try it here

so we have we've done a little bit of a

larger area you can see here was the

original and then these are the

generated pixels so we're going to go

right over here and then upscale this

enhance it it says enhancing detail and

there we go you can see that it actually

did that if I hit controller command Z

we can see here's the before okay and

then here's the after and it it did it

it does it gets just that little bit of

crispness it's just sharpening it a

little bit giving you a little bit more

um and I believe that it is just

increasing the resolution rendering that

for you so that you have a really high

quality of that generation yeah super

super cool so the next thing I want to

do we we're going to feature another

brand new tool here everything's green

except for her sunglasses yes so I found

a reference image I was just searching

through Adobe stock let's go ahead and

pull up we got a bunch of great examples

for you guys today all right so we have

this other image from Adobe stock let's

just go ahead and pull this in I was

like these are cool sunglasses yes I

want to use these sunglasses on our

subject so first thing I'm going to do

is just cut these out right like we

don't need a whole rest of the image so

we're going to just use the lasso tool

just to make a selection real quick

around there I'm going to hit controller

command J and then just make that

background invisible and then you know

what we're going to hit controller

command T to just transform that right

over there and then why not we're going

to just use this new remove background

yes so if you haven't used that button

um if you were just trying to like

quickly remove something it's going to

save you so much time going and try to

mask it's so fast and it's usually

really really clean boom so there we go

we removed the background so what I'm

going to do now let's go ahead and just

I'm going to crop this in there we go

crop this in and then let's just save

this out so we're just going to save

this I'm going to just put it as a JPEG

the reason I did this is so uh like the

model won't get confused there was a

bunch of other stuff in the original

photo right y so we're going to go ahead

and hit save I did get nervous when we

pulled it up I was like it's going to

reference a whole lot of things and so

isolating is a great idea um to do that

and even if you want to be lazy and you

don't want to cut stuff out you could

probably just screenshot it like you

totally scre this will give us this will

give us a much more precise look um but

if you watched the first stream we did

that we literally put a bunch of like

random things on a page and screenshot

it and then use it as reference so if

you want to give Vibes like just throw

everything on the page screenshot it and

then save it out and you can use it as

your um style reference that's yeah

that's absolutely brilliant I'm kind of

like there's a big part of me that like

wants to like composite these sunglasses

old school you know so okay let's just

try I'm going to click and drag these in

here oh yeah let's do a little before

and after let's just see like what I can

do I'm not going to spend like an hour

but like let's see human versus computer

like the old you know okay so first

thing that we're seeing is like the

light doesn't really match right like

from one image to another the light is

not matching the lenses aren't uh you

know the lenses aren't transparent here

and then like you can see where they're

fold it over right so we can see like

this would probably take to do a good

job maybe an hour to try to put these

sunglasses on there yeah at least and

you know you'd have to calculate the

Shadows so let's let's go ahead and try

it you know with the help of uh AI so

we're just going to grab our lasso tool

let's go ahead and just zoom in here

with the lasso tool now the other thing

let's see if we can do a object

selection tool let's see if it grabs

these sunglasses what do you think uh

yes it is going to what is it selecting

right now bigger oh it's gra it's

selecting on the we got to click on our

background layer there we go object

selection so I learned this actually

from Jesus that is if you're trying to

replay something to make the selection

and then use the expand and expand by

like five or 10 pixels and it gives you

that little like blending Edge and it

makes it so that it like feels really

smooth totally so we uh that's a really

good call and Jes Zeus uh thanks for the

tip shout out thanks buddy so we went

ahead and selected our sunglasses so

let's go right up here to our like the

selection editor here and we're going to

go to expand selection let's try what 10

pixels yeah perfect Okay so we've

expanded that out that looks really good

so now let's go ahead and just create a

new L layer we're going to use

generative fill and this time for the

first time ever ever in the history of

the world yep never happened we we

invented this button right now for this

stream we're going to go ahead and

upload our image so you can do a

reference image and we're going to hit

choose image and then I'm just going to

go to this sunglasses. JPEG that we just

made all right let's hit open so you

don't even have to type anything in here

because it knows that you have a

reference image and let's go ahead and

click on generate and this trick of

selecting and expanding um I've used a

lot for removing people so if we wanted

to remove her completely we could super

smart we could mask her make a copy and

then expand it and then it would gener

to fill the building behind her that's

so so smart it's doing a pretty good job

here the eyes behind it are a little bit

are a little too much you know

yeah you never know what it's going to

give you right yes it's going to be like

and someone saying when is this coming

to uh the general release don't know

don't have any answer for you but it is

available right now in beta for you you

can go download it you can use it uh it

is available for you right now oh she's

so mad she's like oh you're taking my

picture again come on all right we'll do

generate one more time it got the

sunglasses though we also can generate

similar if we find one that is like kind

of on par to kind of hone it in a little

bit good point generat similar I also

wonder if it would make a difference if

we put like dark oh that is pretty good

yeah that's pretty good I I'd say it

nailed it you know we we especially with

eyes you know we just got to take what

we can get it's very true the other you

know what and I think that it's pulling

in the white from those

sunglasses which is interesting so I

wonder if we like blacked out those

sunglasses see like the edge of ours

it's rendering in that like whiteness

and so I wonder if our original Source

image if we just blacked out the lenses

if it would give us sunglasses that

would be blacked out so we wouldn't have

to see your eyes I that's a really good

uh yeah I I think you're totally right

about that I so and I I was just

noticing that cuz I was thinking through

like where is the white coming from on

the edge or like the like purple and

it's like oh it's taking into

consideration what's there and what we

gave it and it's pulling in those pieces

that we wouldn't even think about like

lens that it's like oh I have to

consider the White and the purple like

no that's not

important and so if you ever get

something like this where you're trying

to find and get like a perfect

generation think about how Firefly is

understanding it and what it's trying to

do yeah that makes a lot of sense I

think that looks great so here was the

original sunglasses and then here's

where it comp in so it got the color and

like the green and the purple you know

did that really really well um but the

shape is kind of like the original

sunglasses shape more or less yep so

it's really it's kind of binding all

those things together which is really

really cool all right crazy oh no I

think this is looking really good so

let's just go we can see the before I

mean that all looks perfectly natural

crazy to do that within AI all right we

ready for our next example let's do it

all right so speaking of Jesus Ramirez I

was just with Jesus and Bailey and Lisa

Carney and Kim and Chris Converse we

were all outside of Mexico City like a

week ago after the eclipse after the

eclipse and we took this picture uh this

is these uh pyramids right outside of

Mexico City it's an amazing amazing

location so the first thing I want to do

let's just remove this little you know

this little barrier right I want to just

like uh you know get rid of this area so

we're just going to use our uh lasso

tool here let's go a little quick tip to

by the way I don't know if you guys ever

done this when you're using the lasso

tool you can make a

selection regular lasso tool but if you

hold alt or option it converts the

regular lasso tool into a polygonal

lasso tool and then you let go of alt or

option and you have a regular lasso tool

again so you can go back and forth isn't

that kind of nice I didn't know you

could do that yeah so you can just start

with your selection hold alt or option

and then you got the polygonal lassal

tool there we go and it kind of comes

right down there and you have your

selection right there yep and can you

zoom in real quick on the like edge of

your leg so uh we did a little bit of

overlap and that's really important to

do the overlap because then it will

blend that so it's not going to replace

the Jean there it's just going to help

to blend if you don't go all the way

over it's going to leave like a weird

little connection and so you want to

make sure that you go over in your

selection like you did totally there we

go and boom you can see it nailed it

100% And then we'll just upscale it a

little bit there we go and it's a

perfect match Co for what's behind it

all right let's let's get this area as

well and there we go so that was kind of

a cool tip with the regular lasso tool

but it also works with the polygonal

lasso tool so if you're starting with

like a a polygon selection and then you

hold alt or option you have the regular

lasso tool and you let go of alt or

option and then it's back to the

polygonal lasso tool so it works for

both the regular lasso tool and the

polygonal that's so interesting and

hello from Dallas say Kobe nice to see

you thanks for joining us Kobe uh let us

know where you all are you all are

watching from my goodness what a

sentence let us know where y'all are

watching from uh my family's out in

Houston Texas shout out Houston uh we

are in San Francisco and you are coming

in from Mexico City so we we are

international and we're broadcasting

from Max London so we are worldwide uh

today here on Adobe live uh and yes the

chat is loving the pro tips you always

bring the pro tips always show us the

the hottest hot Keys um so yes je if you

have any questions as well that may not

pertain to what we're working on please

feel free to put your uh questions in

there we bring in people like aarin to

answer your questions hang out live with

you it is a live live stream so ask your

questions and uh maybe you can get them

answered yeah

yeah all right so I'm excited this is

like the you know pretty standard stuff

right we want to like remove a

distraction and things like that this is

sorry this is a great example of the

enhance uh because you didn't make like

a full selection but the total width of

your selection was more than 1,000

pixels yeah so we just clicked on

enhance right here and as you can see

like I I cannot tell what was done with

AI and what was the original photo I

mean it just it did an absolutely

perfect job couldn't even pick it out so

there we go living life on the edge uh

you know I don't need no you know

barrier to keep me from falling

backwards I'm good so here's another

like kind of fun tip that I when I want

to remove a bunch of stuff using

generative fill here's what I like to do

sometimes I actually like to use Quick

mask have you ever done this before I

have but only because I've seen people

do it on Adobe live and I'm like am I

supposed to be doing it like this so

please teach me I am I am a newbie to

Quick mask okay you definitely don't

have to like of course you could just

create like you could grab your lasso

tool and you know just like select those

people and hold shift and select those

people and hold shift you could do that

but one of the fun things to do is hit

uh this quick mask icon right here you

can also hit Q for quick mask so go

ahead and click on that and then you can

actually just use your brush tool and

then that's going to make your selection

so

basically uh you just paint right over

top of there we go let's just make sure

all right cool so we're just basically

just painting at this point right over

top of everything we want to remove so

quick mask mode is basically a way for

you to paint selections so if I'm going

to remove a ton of little people things

like that from the back background there

we go rather than try to make selections

of all this quick mask mode can be a

really fun quick easy way to do it all

right yes and we do have a shout out and

hello from our friends Lisa Kim Bailey

and Chris and is here they are in a bus

in Mexico hello uh thank you so much for

joining us Jesus um and Jesus is saying

yes I think maybe he took this photo

yeah Jesus did take this picture of

meout out to royalties are in the mail

thanks

J oh my God so fun we had an absolute

bless hanging out in Mexico City all

right so we've used quick mask and this

is like using the lasso tool but we're

just brushing instead of having to CLI a

paint brush exactly it's so nice so now

we're just going to click off quick mask

mode and you can see

here all of that where I just painted

with the brush tool is now a selection

which is so cool now sometimes it'll do

the inverse like you can see the outside

edge of my imag is selected so we're

just going to go right up here to the

inverse icon and now you can see just

the people are selected yep I always

have to use the last tool and hover over

to see what's selected like my brain I

always go to lasso and then hover I'm

like okay this part is okay I need to

reverse it this part it yeah and that's

a really good tip you can also just look

at the edge right here like so if you if

you the edge is selected it basically

means everything but the people are

selected and then here you can just

click on that you can also I believe hit

there is a well honestly you can hit Q

for quick mask mode and that'll that'll

show you what's selected as well okay

cool yeah so when you hit Q quick mask

mode there we go everything that is red

is not selected and everything that is

white or transparent in this case is

selected okay so that's another way to

do it too all righty so basically we

were just using the paintbrush to paint

in that selection let's just click on

generative Phill and we're going to

click on generate just want to remove

all those people in the background Jesus

and Lisa and Kim and Chris they weren't

and Bailey they weren't in the

background so they're you know they're

taking the picture yeah you're all here

in our hearts Yeah in our hearts our oh

my goodness and look at that it got rid

of all so you know if you get to this uh

place like this and you're like I didn't

get there early enough I wanted to take

the picture with no one in the

background well don't worry about it now

you can do it even if there was a bunch

of people okay so now we're going to get

into some fun because I want to uh you

know the funny thing we learned on this

trip was that uh I think it was the

Aztecs who got here to to these pyramids

they found these pyramids the Aztecs

found them oh yeah so we actually have

no idea who built these it wasn't the

Mayans it wasn't the Aztecs it it was

like you know we we don't really know

when they were built and we don't know

who built them at all so you know I'm

thinking like let's let's go aliens

let's go aliens yeah and the eclipse

just happened it feels right it feels

right you know we want to do it so let's

just uh I want I want to put a spaceship

here in in the background like a flying

saucer I think that'll be fun and when

you're using generative fill to add

stuff into your images with firefly

image model 3 you want to make sure that

you're making a selection that's kind of

the size of what you're trying to

generate if you made a box there it

would generate a box of a flying saucer

so you want to kind of Envision what you

want to be there yes perfect that's

looking pretty good I also want to see

like you know what they know that the

top three layers of these pyramids were

destroyed so when this the Spanish came

in I guess they wanted to uh like use

some of the rocks and they just wanted

to kind of like change up uh ideologies

so they destroyed a lot of these things

so what I want to see like what this

might have looked like originally you

know like we're we're amateur

archaeologists here we're doing some

reconstruction here reconstruction all

right so we're just going to type in

pyramid there we go and hit generate and

it should understand from the cont Tex

of the type of stone that it's going to

use the Moss it should add all that

stuff based on the photo as it starts to

generate yeah another interesting thing

there we go that hey that's looking a

little bit better there we go that

that's looking pretty good let's try to

do it again another interesting thing

that I learned while on the tour here is

that this was a

matriarch

matriarchal yes Society how do you say

that word matriarchal matriarchal uh in

the there was a queen and the women were

in charge so the men were like sent off

to go to war uh and the women decided

who who lived and who died and they they

ran things so you know pretty

interesting uh like cultural reference

there all right let's try it

again pyramid and let's click on

generate I went back in time to see the

original pyramid

before I like I like the alien ship just

hovering there just hovering over yes

Adobe live History Channel Edition

yes there we

go all right that looks pretty cool we

we can just get rid of that one all

right there we go so if we wanted to see

like what you know what this pyramid

might have looked like well we can we

can generate one right there all right

let's get rid of the Flying Saucer I

think that looks pretty cool that that's

a nice uh you know nice image so this is

you know this is our before and our

after and of course we have this little

guide book here so you could say I went

back in time and saw the the pyramids as

they originally were even though we have

no idea there is a new tool I'm going to

throw you on a little bit of a rabbit

Trail here there's a new tool that let's

say that like pyramids are great yeah

but let's say that we wanted to tell

your friends that you actually went to

go uh to New York City and see like the

big city oh this is a great example this

actually is a great example of how we

could use a new tool that is replace

background all right let's do it so we

can very easily the background we've

done that with one click uh let's go

ahead and do it if you have a subject

like this it's going to do a really

great job at removing uh there we go

pretty clean pretty clean on there not

bad uh and now we have a new button that

is generate background gener background

all right so you want to put New York

City yeah let's see it

yeah and that way we just like I'm a

world traveler yeah if people are like

hey I saw you were at this location I

was like oh no I wasn't actually uh I

thought you were in Mexico last week you

got to

City we were alien hunting we don't want

them to know the results that we found

so we have to put ourselves somewhere

else wow okay made it to New York City

pretty

good that's crazy what yeah what an

insane uh you

know just being able to have a photo and

then being able to generate yeah and if

some parts of it like work better than

there's like something that you know

I've definitely like done is just kind

of crop in like you know like let's say

the bottom or whatever you don't like

that so much you can totally just crop

in and you know like use use that back

part of it and if you want to zoom one

in the buildings this actually might be

a great use case for using enhance

because we generated such a huge space

let's enhance and see enhance and then

see what these are see here a good luck

everybody hey pretty good more detail

definitely more detail in there for sure

for sure so yeah looking really good so

you can just take a picture of yourself

anywhere in the world completely on the

green screen in the studio we can be

anywhere we want yeah we're green

scening it up today all right we got

another really great example for you

I've got a like pretty like I would say

kind of practical example here of uh

like a group photo let's say this is a

like a company photo or whatever but we

want to remove someone I'm I'm gonna

just get rid of this guy here uh sorry

buddy sorry dude and honestly this is

like a pretty difficult thing to do yes

I I was looking at the photo it's like

overlapping her shoulder the background

has tufting on the like this would be

very difficult to do yeah this is like

legit kind of hard uh we're going to be

using some photoshop magic some AI stuff

and we're going to show you how to work

around so basically what we need to do

is I need to completely remove this guy

so I can see the couch behind him sorry

buddy and then I need to cut her out and

move her over and then generate all the

shadows for her as oh there's a lot

going on all right let's do it and then

I also want to get rid of this TV back

there and just put another light back

there as well okay wow and like all of

those things are extremely difficult on

their own and we're going to do all

three in the next like 15 minutes yeah

exactly so let's go ahead and select

this guy we're going to start with like

a uh a use case that I think a lot of us

are going to come into where like what I

want to do is Select this guy and just

remove him right so we made a selection

right around him we're just going to

click on generative fill and then click

on generate now I want him gone but what

Firefly is probably going to do is think

that I want another person there I'm

interested to see what it does yeah

that's what it did in my preview like

when I was doing this see it's just

trying to put another person there and

you know they look okay but that's not

what I want I want the couch behind that

person so what we're going to do instead

instead of just trying to remove that

guy we're going to tell Firefly to

remove all of the people here so it's

it's not going to try to generate people

because I'm selecting literally all of

the people and telling it to remove

everyone right okay so this is me

basically telling the model that like

you know all the people should be gone

from this don't try to put another

person there yeah I want no people we

want no people okay which is basically

going to give us the couch background

boom right all the people are gone what

yeah all of the people are gone and

let's go ahead and enhance this so we're

just going to increase the detail on

this okay so now let's go ahead and take

a look at our layers that's so crazy it

got the tough thing in the crazy right

it did an amazing job so all of the

people are now gone right so what we're

going to do is I'm going to take this

layer this my generative fill layer

let's go ahead and group it with itself

and then put a layer mask on it we're

going to invert that layer mask and then

I can literally just paint this back

over top of this guy so let's just paint

back I'm just using my brush tool here

on the layer mask and now I'm painting

this guy

away all right there we go that's so

cool there we go we're going to paint

her away also and then I'll cut her out

one more time okay so let's go ahead and

just lower the flow so it gets us a nice

mix from one image to

another that is crazy thanks for

stopping by J S have a fun trip bye

thanks guys all

right this is so

wild there we go all right and then

let's just bring her arm back in there

so basically we just got rid of the both

of them but we don't want that right

like we still want her so what we're

going to do is now I'm going to go back

to my original layer and we're just

going to make a selection around her let

me see if I can use this uh object

selection tool to find her boom oh yeah

and that mask is usually so crisp using

the object selection tool how nice is

that so what we're going to do now is

I'm going to take this background layer

we're going to duplicate that background

layer and then add this as a layer mask

on the background layer so basically I

just have her on her own layer now okay

okay so we have let's just go over our

layers here cuz like this is kind of

complex stuff honestly so we have our

background then above that I have like

this gen fill that we did where we

removed everyone and then I layer masked

it and now above that let me just put

this right above there I have just her

so I can use my move tool and just bring

her over here right so she's going to be

leaning against uh this other woman and

then now we have let's just do a quick

mask there but now we're left with like

the rest like she doesn't necessarily

look like she has a shadow there a

shadow on this other side so what we're

going to do is create a new uh layer and

we're going to gen fill the shadow so

I'm selecting around my

subject there we go let's just do this

one side here first let's go Ahad and

hold shift so I'm hoping that it's going

to take the Shadow from the subject on

the right and then put it on the subject

on the left so let's just click here I'm

going to type in Shadow and hit enter

there and then we can do a shadow from

her on the left so anytime you need to

composite people together

like wherever they're actually come

together you can just gen fill that

little area and you can see it did a

really good job there okay fantastic all

that looks really good that area maybe

not as well yep uh all right there we go

but I can just

uh there we go I can just kind of mask

this out here

that looks so nice and we're just

masking out with a softer brush right y

just masking out with a softer brush

exactly okay so now what we're going to

do is I'm just basically going to go on

the left hand side of this and then

we're going to use AI to generate the

shadow so we'll just go right over here

boom click on generative fill and type

in

Shadow and hit enter so we basically

just scooched her

over and we have a totally different

image there we go almost done I'm so

excited for the before and after on this

all right there we go that looks pretty

good so we have our shadow there and you

can I mean it looks really good the next

thing I want to do is let's just go

ahead and remove this uh entire TV here

in the

background there we go let's click on

generative fill just type in remove and

click on generate and Rene is saying

isn't this the guy from Flur yeah it's

the guy from Flur

Mr Flur it's Mr Flur himself I should

just change my name to

Flur good to see you guys in the chat

all right so we removed that completely

and look it put that light there that's

exactly what we wanted put that light

there and you know what we're going to

go ahead and upscale that because we can

now so we have our group portrait and we

could go ahead and crop in if we wanted

to but basically let's go ahead and

group all that stuff so there's our

before with these people

extra and then here is the after where

we kind of like brought her her over

completely removed the guy and I got to

say it looks really natural the fact

that we could do this in 10 minutes yeah

is absolutely mindblowing that's pretty

crazy oh man that's so wild and if we

wanted to get like exactly that lamp we

could

probably take a take a screenshot of

that area yeah and then use that as the

reference image you know what let's try

it let's try it I think that using like

pieces it's basically using a clone

stamp but like an AI clone stamp like

you're saving like hey this is the thing

that I want here use that as a reference

to then fill in this other area idea all

right so I'm going to gen fill this lamp

out uh there we go so it just totally

goes away all right we'll say that's

good enough for now and then we're going

to screenshot this lamp here all right

and then we're going to make another

selection here and we'll click on

generative fill and then we'll add an

image let's go ahead and choose the

image this just just going to be on our

desktop here's the screenshot that I

just made all right let's on generate uh

and this is interesting nuts yeah it

could be like a clone stamp it'd be

really hard to clone stamp and get it to

blend well and this hopefully is going

to blend really well uh and look

good okay pretty good pretty okay yeah

pretty okay not pretty okay I wonder if

we put in a prompt and added like a

light fixture on a wall or something um

I wonder how much it helps if you have a

prompt in there versus not having a

prompt in just having a reference image

um and we're about to find out if it

looks better then it helps if it doesn't

then it doesn't matter there we go yeah

in my experience uh when when I oh yeah

it does look better for sure yeah yeah

you know what but I think the original

gen fill actually just did a really good

job like that looks pretty close to it

so I'm pretty happy with of course you

could clone stamp it in you know blend

it traditionally and things like that

but I'm I'm super happy with this I mean

the fact that we were able to remove

that guy and move her over that quickly

and easily mind blown yep uh and re is

saying I'm still learning I've only

subbed one week well thanks for subbing

thanks so much for joining us here on

live we're live every single day from

9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. every Monday

Tuesday Wednesday Thursday uh with great

content just like this amazing all right

we're going to the ocean traveling a lot

today yeah yeah so this is a cool image

now we got a bunch of people jumping off

the boat I want to create like a like a

kind of an ad with this image so I want

to rotate the boat out and then I want

to put some text that kind of like goes

behind the boat okay okay so let's go

ahead and grab our crop tools so see for

the crop tool and we're going to go

ahead and rotate this around there we go

we're going to go all the way over here

and then we want to just kind of expand

this out in that direction so we're

going to use generative expand so where

it says fill you can go ahead and click

on generative expand and then click here

on

generate there we go and it's basically

just going to create all this

information for us everywhere that you

see is white is going to be completely

uh you know oh ocean Y and if you want

to you also can play around with this on

firefly.com now expand has been added as

a preview for you to go test out over on

firefly.com nice and of course we want

to increase our resolution here so let's

go ahead and enhance this detail boom

and that's looking really really good

okay so the next thing we want to do

let's hit t for the type tool we're just

going to type in summer there we go

let's go and make our uh type I'm going

to go over here to my properties window

we'll just make our color white here and

and make this a little bit larger

fantastic and then you know what I'm

going to go back to my original boat

here back on the background and we're

going to go to select subject and see

what that does and something that we

kind of glazed over uh is that the type

tool is new uh the type menus just look

a little bit different in Photoshop um

and so if you haven't used them yet I do

believe that that happened a couple

weeks ago but if you haven't used it yet

there are new options it's a little bit

of a new year new user interface for you

to work with my goodness there's a lot

of tongue twisters happening a lot of

tongue

twisters let's use the object selection

tool here we go and so inter the

background to a regular

layer I don't know why it would just be

grabbing the entire I don't know that's

interesting there we go I turned on

Sample all layers and just did a new did

a new one there we go and let's hold

shift and get these people kind of

jumping in the water too okay so my

summer type let's go ahead and I'm going

to to group this type with itself and

then I'm going to put a layer mask on

the group and then let's go ahead and

invert that layer mask okay so now I

have this type and you can see it kind

of like shows up behind the the sailboat

and behind the people things like that

so let's go ahead we're going to make

this text a little bit larger there we

go and we do have new options with the

type tool we have these new type options

that we can go ahead and add F bold and

things like that we can click here which

will go to more properties which opens

up our properties window and then here

you can see I can change the font weight

so we're just going to try to go let's

go to light I think that looks good and

then I want to hit summer I'm going to

hit controller command J to duplicate

this

and type in summer vacation hit

controller command T there we go and

then kind of bring this down there

fantastic and then let's go ahead and

change the font weight on this too so

let's go from light let's go down to

like medium and then make this a bit

smaller all right and then this one I

want to change my properties let's go

where it says light let's go to thin all

right cool I'm going to shift click on

the two of those hit V for my move tool

and then align those to the right there

we go and I can move just

these there we are

and there we are I can move these and

then the mask is going to stay in the

same place because the mask is on the

entire group so I can Mo move both of

these and I can unlink the layer and The

Mask so I can move both of these it's

still masking the vacation it is still

masking vacation not if I move each

individually why that's weird so if you

have both of them selected interesting

welcome to photoshop beta uh so actually

this is a great this is a great uh

reason to talk about this is right up

above that there's a little Beaker icon

right next to the share um at the top of

your bar so you can click there you can

send feedback so that is like definitely

a like I don't see a reason why that

would be happening so it may be a bug

and so we could report that bug and say

hey the Beta app let's fix this before

we send it out uh you can click on that

little Beaker and it will give uh us an

opportunity to hear from you if you find

something like that I love finding

little bugs on stream yeah it's

fun there we go now the next thing I

want to do I want to add like a tropical

island here on on the bottom of this uh

there we go on the bottom of this IM

image so we're just going to make a

selection right over here and we're

going to click on gener to fill tropical

island above and click on

generate there we go isn't this cool

though I love this look how we were able

to like cut this person out and have

them jump over top of the lettering it's

very like Royal Caribbean ad like it's

yeah this could be you oh we got a

little Reef we got a reef there okay

let's go ahead and upscale that and then

you know what let's try this brand new

tool here we're going to go to generate

similar cuz I like this that was a great

example that we had one that was a reef

one that was more of just like more

water and then one that was an actual

Island we said hey we like the island

one show us more of that please show us

more

Islands show us more Islands oh there we

go some tropical island here we go I

think I like this one the best I think

that one Let's do let's do a few more

I'll just hit tropical island above

we'll do this to give us a few more

variations yes this does feel precarious

for a boat to be in the space between

that island and the reef I'm

stressed there we go we have a few

different options here all right that's

kind of cool this might be kind of nice

too it's it's a little bit safer it's a

little bit safer it's still underwater

yes all right a reef so our summer

vacation which is pretty cool cuz

literally we started with this image and

if you guys remember it was tilted

completely to its side so we added all

this stuff using generative expand

generative fill the new uh enhance as

well as you know generate similar and we

did some really cool masking stuff here

as well so a ton of different uses yeah

all right we got more examples for you

more examples more examples

yeah all right so here is our next

example and this is an example for

basically like what I would consider

retouching right I want to get rid of

this stuff that's Behind these subjects

right cuz it's just it's really

distracting and anytime you have

distractions like this you know getting

rid of these can help draw a lot more

Focus to your subjects yep and

especially thinking about the contrast

it's about to be and how much that kills

the contrast of the Blue Sky in the

background uh just the little details of

removing things sometimes make it a lot

better 100% so we're just going to make

it that a selection right there let's

click on generative fill and then click

on generate and then we'll get into why

I chose this image uh because it's kind

of going like right over top of her face

so we're going to have uh you know we're

going to have a couple different steps

we can take for that like here if it

generates a slightly different head

matter you know piece of fabric that's

not that big of a deal um you know but

if it's if it's going to generate a

different

face I'll fix my selection in just a

second I'm on a trackpad over here I

promise all right this is going to be

interesting to see what it do hold alt

or option and you know kind of fix up

your selection here there we go because

this is something that we run into with

genil a lot is sometimes it'll just kind

of like generate you know extra facial

features or whatever right so I'm you

know I'm doing my best job to create a

nice accurate selection here with our

subject you can see I've selected just

the background here let's click on gener

to fill and click on generate okay so

ideally it would just get rid of that

thing on the background and leave the

subject alone but sometimes what happens

is it'll generate like this subject uh

will extend into the selection all right

so we can see here it did actually a

pretty good job in this case I the only

thing that's changing is a little bit of

the nose and then we've got the

eyelashes yeah a little bit of the nose

and the eyelashes all in all I think it

actually did like a pretty good job oh

yeah but we don't want her nose changed

at all right like that's not you know

that that's not going to work so here's

what we're going to do let's go ahead

and make that visible I'm going to put a

layer mask here on the group so I took

that gen fill layer

grouped it with itself and we have a

layer mask so now what we're going to do

is just use our brush tool and then

we're going to paint black on the layer

mask right here and this is just going

to make sure that we have just her

original nose right now it's a little

bit tricky because we have original nose

but then right beneath it basically we

had you know what was that thing right

the you know the piece of distraction

from the background so what we're going

to do is I'm just going to use my brush

tool now we're going to hit B for the

brush tool and I'm going to make a

selection of this color and let's just

make our brush a little bit smaller and

then we're just going to

basically there we go I'm going to hold

shift and click which connects each of

the little clicks that I make and every

time that I click again it basically

draws a straight line in between the

areas that I clicked so it's a really

cool way that you can actually like kind

of cut objects out and things like that

so again I'm just clicking and holding

shift there we go and then we can make

sure that that's her original nose and

that we did not affect it at all

basically all right boom there we go and

that worked pretty well now let's go

ahead and do the same thing with uh this

other guy over here what a great image

for a use case because it's going

directly into the beard and then it's

going directly into you found the one to

show this off found the one

exactly and a lot of the times you know

this is you'll have a fantastic portrait

but there's just something in the

background that's distracting and you

know sometimes you can kind of move the

camera around things like that did a

really good job actually um but a lot of

the time you know you're just kind of

like uh there we go you're just kind of

at the mercy of whatever image you have

so being able to remove this stuff

honestly you can make a huge difference

in your images yep and something this

would be a great candidate too is if we

had a shot like this and we wanted it to

be on like a flat orange Studio backdrop

again replacing background is always an

option uh and for something like this

could have a very Stark change from

shooting out where they're shooting to

like it looks like a studio shot now yes

exactly so you can see let's go ahead

and show you that before and after with

that like so much more powerful in the

that would have been so much more so

much stamping yeah exactly would have

taken absolutely forever and kind of

getting to your next Point that's our

next example is we're going to

completely replace a background let's do

it so moving into our next example let's

go ahead and open up our finder window

here there we go all right we've got

this guy let's go ahead and bring him in

so he is actually photographed in like a

Studio background right so let's go

ahead and I'm going to hit C for our

crop tool we're going to start with

generative expand just to give us a

little bit more room here there we go

and go ahead and click on enter and I

want to see what he would look like in a

few different environments so we're

going to be using the new uh background

replacement tools cool all right do we

have any suggestions from the chat where

do we want to go where do we want to go

where do we want to put uh this guy here

yes and someone's saying I spent two

hours yesterday trying to clean up an

image you can do it in just a few

minutes super easy where do we want to

send our model uh can we do maybe like a

um I and I don't know how we'

communicate this in front of like an

aquarium so like it's like watery like

reflective light kind of yeah all right

let's so we're going to start with

remove background so we've just got our

subject here we're going to go right to

remove background you can see it

basically did a select subject and then

created a mask which is great and then

our brand new generate background here

so we're going to go to and we'll just

type in underwater yeah let's see what

happens

un un under

water there we go underwater and see

what happens uh we have some great

suggestions coming in from chat and chat

there are a couple that we can do and a

couple we can't do so Eiffel Tower yes

we can do Eiffel Tower because there is

Adobe stock of Eiffel Tower McDonald's

um doe Firefly does not recognize

intellectual property so it will not

generate uh McDonald's Alaska it's a

location yes Rodeo sure nightclub

Amsterdam yes all that so any of those

that are not a specific um uh

intellectual property it will be able to

generate especially things like the

Eiffel Tower that like my brain is like

oh I can't do eiff or I can't do

intellectual property and so Eiffel

Tower is like no it's a location there's

pictures of that and so it will be able

to generate

that uh Amsterdam yeah that's theam

what's cool too is it's taking into

account the focal length of this photo

that the subject is sharp and then it's

blurring out the background so have a

nice little focal

length so so cool oh someone saying

Japan with the street lights at night so

you can see Reflections yes I want to

like copy and place hey that's pretty

good for

Amsterdam I'm sold yeah all right Japan

with street lights yep and maybe at

night in the

rain nice let's click on generate and

see what we got and if you ever get like

a weird to where it's not meshing

together you can try to add on some

adjustment layers you can use the

harmonize filter uh oh oh it gave oh

that's so cool it gave him an umbrella

this guy's cooler than we'll ever

be and like he just like just so

daintily just like oh this umbrella dude

that is so chill yeah I think that's

that's that's crazy it gave an

umbrella I am into it for sure you know

what I want to use I want to use this

brand new uh generate image here so

let's just generate image uh and what

let's just do Japan

street lights night range so we're going

to generate this we're going to say the

content let's do a photo we don't need a

reference image and we don't need any

effects let's go ahead and click on

generate and then this is going to give

an image that isn't trying to blend in

with the original photograph of this

person it's just going to give me a you

know image Japan street lights in the

background but what's cool here is

because we already used this uh remove

background it's just putting it behind

my subject now I can always go here and

like refine this layer mask for instance

like if I click on this layer mask I can

still go let's hit f for full screen

here I can still go to all remember we

have all the you know traditional tools

like selected mask we can still use all

these right like I can go

to there we go something like this we

could just shift our Edge in a little

bit let's just bring up a little bit bit

of Feathering a little bit of

contrast there we

go let's bring our Edge

in oh and someone's saying is it

possible to change the reflection in the

glasses that's a great ex that's a great

question yeah it's definitely possible

to do that in

theory we could select those and

generative fill and just put reflection

of whatever the scene is I don't I don't

know

actually that's a good question all

right do we like this do we like the

umbrella I think this is kind of like

this takes the cake okay so let's say we

want to put this as the reflection

though right so let's try this let's put

that right above our subject okay now we

want to select inside of those glasses

right so let's go to our object

selection tool let's go see all right uh

we'll try with the magic wand instead

there we go make sure we hit sample all

layers just try to sample all this we l

we're back we're back we're back we got

we're

back all right so I'm magic wanding

basically inside of this reflection here

and then let's go to the lasso tool and

I'll just kind of we're doing a quickish

version of this for everyone at home cuz

we got just a few more minutes we do you

know what I'm going to leave those

original ones there there so I got those

magic wand Tools in there let's go ahead

and then add that as a layer mask to

this uh and then I can unlink those and

then basically we got the reflection of

Japan oh in there right all right let's

see uh there we go I'm I'm going to just

paint that back in there I would not

have ever thought about doing it like

this but you're basically putting it so

that they're Windows now yeah uh and

then we'll be able to like just change

the opacity or multiple or whatever the

uh we could paint in some black like you

could do so many things to make it look

more Blended like it is that reflection

of an actual area all right that looks

cool and then let's take this uh from

the original layer and then duplicate it

back over top of there and then set that

to like a screen blend mode or something

like that so we still have the

reflection yep the light so you guys see

that so this is the light from the

original photo going back over top of

the reflection and then we have the

reflection as a layer and I can kind of

move this around in there but the layer

mask is going to stay in the same place

and actually because this is a gen fill

layer if I go into my properties I can

change this out too to have different uh

gen fill this is the one that like

worked in terms of like color but I

could go ahead you know what we could go

ah and say generate similar we could we

could and we have about 30 seconds left

uh so make sure you stick around we do

have more content coming to you um for

the rest of the day here on adob live

two more hours of streaming after this

we are creating a magazine cover it is

going to be a catastic time it's going

to be super cute I know that we're doing

a cat a cat magazine so stick around for

that and then I'll be back at the end of

the day to possibly continue that

magazine into a campaign uh so join us

for that we'll do some in design at the

end of the day as well um that looks

great amazing right we did it so thanks

so much for joining us stick around for

more content and go download the

Photoshop Beta app and try out Firefly

image model three see you in just a

minute bye everybody thanks everyone

today we're going to be talking about

how I made this candle head whenever

you're doing composits the more that you

don't have to find elements from stock

the better so for me I shot me in this

location right and then I did the match

I did the hand and then I photographed

the candle in the same place so let's

pop over to Lightroom now you can see

these are the four frames that I used to

create this image the reason why why

it's important to photograph all those

elements the same is because they're

going to have the same lighting it's

also photographed at the same vantage

point with the same lens this is our

starting point I just did a little bit

of darkening on the background with an

adjustment layer really quickly and then

I just basically did a black box along

the top kind of coming in here and

cleaning up just the edges so here's

where we're going to start I'm going to

go over to my candle I'm going to make a

lasso around the top of this candle I'm

going to hold down option or or alt and

I'm going to click with my magic wand

tool around the edge here so we'll go to

select modify and contract two pixels

and then I'm going to press okay and

that's just going to tighten up that

edge we take the same selection and we

do another modification to it select

modify feather and do probably a 2%

feather on this area too command or

contrl C to copy these pixels and then

I'm going to come over here and I'm just

going to do command or contr V to paste

those pixels into this image so I'm

going to right click and I'm going to

choose to convert to Smart object let's

go ahead and hit Commander control T I'm

going to hold down shift and click and

drag it over take this layer that we

have and I want to go ahead and just

pull down the opacity of it just

slightly so that I can kind of see the

underlying layer I'm going to activate

the warp option here I'm just lining up

the sides we're going to go ahead and

create a mask over our candle head layer

I'll make sure that I'm using the brush

tool and I'm just going to start

brushing away the candle from where I

don't want it to be I'm going to make

five Hue saturation adjustment layers

and I'm going to clip them all to my

candle head right let's see I've got

darken lighten color match remove

saturation add saturation and they're

all clipped to our candle head layer for

darken I am going to come up and I'm

going to just change the blend mode from

normal to multiply decrease a little bit

of the saturation darken just a touch

I'm going to in invert it Commander

control I for lighten I'm just going to

go up and change the blend mode to

screen and then I'm going to invert it

so for this I'm going to click on the

icon of my layer and then I'm going to

come to my properties window probably

choose colorize and then I want to find

a color in here and a saturation value

that the base kind of matches what I'm

kind of working on remove saturation

we're just going to decrease the

saturation in our properties add

saturation to our add saturation layer

and then invert this mask add saturation

and invert subtract saturation so I'm

going to start with darken and I'm going

to make sure that I'm painting with my

brush tool I'm going to make sure that I

am painting with white so I'm darkening

this in this area here so now we've got

our lighten I'm going to come over here

and just lighten up the top corner of

the candle over here so now we're going

to come to our remove saturation and I'm

going to go in here to start to remove

this crazy saturation from this corner

I'm going to take my candle head layer

I'm going to go down to my effects

choice right here and I'm going to do

inner Shadow I have changed the blend

mode for my inner Shadow to screen which

is a lightning blend mode then I've

changed the angle of where that light is

going to hit and I've also changed the

color to be a light whitish it's its own

layer now I can add a mask to it and

only reveal it where I want it to be

that area there was selected from that

IM image so I pasted it into the area

here and then I went ahead and added a

bit of a mask to it changing the

lighting changing the color changing the

saturation value and adding some

Darkness next got rid of that and then I

added my new arm then I added the drips

I'm just going to lasso this area so

I've got the selection here we're just

going to fill it with a skin tone of a

color so I'm going to right click here

and I'm to choose to convert to Smart

object and so we'll come to our effects

and we're going to choose bevel and

emboss now I need to add a drop shadow

to this as well we're going to turn all

three of these into layers like I've

done before so we'll go back to our drip

layer we're going to go into our filter

filter gallery and then I did a

Sandstone texture so I'm going to create

a new layer and I'm going to clip this

to the underlying layer as well shift

delete I am going to choose 50% gray and

then I'm going to change the blend mode

to soft light and then I'm going to be

painting with black and white so coming

in here getting these drops then I added

some blobs using the exact same

technique I started kind of creating the

color and the lighting from this and

this is just color layers on a blend

mode then I got into the color grading

and then just some overall Dodge and

burn and that's kind of how we got to

the final see you soon everyone thank

you hello and welcome back to Adobe live

joining us in the studio is the amazing

Arabella Espinosa from weekend creative

I am so excited my name is aronce from

Flur and today we are doing a cat I keep

clapping in the microphone is right here

you know what it's the end of the day

for us we're just kind of like you know

we've been going out we've been doing

this for what a few hours now so oh my

God I'm so excited thank you BL of a

stream today how cool I am so excited

you guys today we are designing well

actually we're rebranding a uh cat

magazine so I don't know if youall are

familiar with modern cat uh but they are

a cat magazine pull them up right

now I don't have any cats but I love

modern cat

magazine so here's modern cat now no

shade you know shade pretty good pretty

good I mean this picture right here I am

loving this like so cute so cute but we

can we can do better we need to

modernize it a little bit let's say this

is a it's a cat magazine for your

Millennial your modern you know person

like me just get but you know just we

need we need to like do something more

fun with this so we're just going to do

it all from scratch using all of our new

favorite tools all of the new improved

tools that we have in the Photoshop beta

so I feel like we should just get

started and if we have some time then

we'll also do some ads I had some uh ads

planned out like add pages we're going

to have some see these ads okay so let's

just get right into it obviously you

guys already know what's out there and

we're just going to use all of the you

know typical stuff that we've been

playing around with all day so you your

Photoshop uh light theme I've got

everyone always comments on that I've

got it set to dark but seeing this as

light I'm like this is kind of fancy

looking it someone and I always bring

this up but someone called it it felt

like a straight jacket I was like wait

why I'm going to change mine I'm

actually digging it it's like old school

you know yeah yeah definitely but new

school is the new old school or old

school is the new new school yeah

something like that you got it older

Millennial over here all right all right

you know we're all Millennials here let

get let's get into it okay so obviously

you know the star of the show is that we

need to have a cat um and then we need

to have some fun text I feel like we got

to go bold we got to go modern um you

know so just like let's have fun with it

so let's go ahead and actually maybe

I'll just have it on a separate um file

that I'm going to generate so we have

that new option on our contextual

taskbar generate image and it brings up

this lovely you know thing here and we

can just describe what we want right and

of course you can play around with all

these different already set uh text

prompts but I'm just going to go ahead

and you know go into photo make sure I

select that and I'm going to say let's

see a you know

artsy uh ginger cat with I don't know

maybe maybe clear glasses like I'm

wearing right now so with clear glasses

is in a living room let's say I'm not

giving it too much Direction yet I kind

of want to see what happens and we can

kind of like refine whatever it is can

we put sassy can we make the cat sassy

yes wait can can it be sassy instead of

like let's see a sassy ginger cat with

clear glasses in a living room so you

says ginger cat yes uh maybe it's like

perched up or something somewhere oh

yeah with clear

glasses perched on a couch what what

color is a couch uh taupe taupe perfect

got it okay let's just generate that and

let's see what happens and thankfully

like we it could just you know you can

start from scratch you guys you don't

even need to I mean I am not a designer

at the end of the day I'm a photographer

but look at how amazing it is for me to

wow just like wow dude that's like

photorealistic you guys you guys are you

kidding me wait this one's actually

really really cute really good that's

really good okay if I wanted to like

continue like adding things to it maybe

I add in a living

room uh in a mid-century modern living

room yes you know my head is like why

would we even need photography anymore

no hey don't say that cuz that's my job

yeah well your photography we need you

know but for product for commercial you

know but H this is like pretty darn good

it like a photograph I love it it's so

good I mean I could really go in into

the detail and but it's like it's it's

pretty good and I feel like for this

magazine cover we're going to you know I

think this is all we who do you see this

like 70s I'm into this cat man I feel

like that cat is like w wa wait I think

this is modern this is yeah I aspire to

be how cool that cat is

honestly I am obsessed oh my God and I

also love that it kind of like this like

lime or like I don't know what what is

this like light olive green like couch

it's so perfect now if I wanted to be

really specific about my cat right so I

could always go into the reference image

here and choose an image right so I have

prepared a few photos here so I I do

have cats um I have a little a little

diva named op that is her and then I've

got coffee and he is just a whole you

know he's just he's just a lion he he's

got manun in him so he's oh yeah then

I've got a few outdoor cats too so I've

got

Blondie and then we've got this one I

call Tuxedo Mas personality oh my God if

you know that reference uh if you've

seen Sailor Moon Tuxedo Mask this is a

whole so maybe maybe I do want like a

tuxedo kind of style Cat I can always

select that photo and I think it would

probably start to reference you know

maybe it wants that cat instead the

thing that's kind of you know iffy right

now with the with the reference image is

that um it might want to like you know

put it exactly how it is so there's it's

a little bit of trial and error here but

we're going to test it out we'll see

we're going to test it we're going to

test it it might even take the colors

from the image like all of

dude I am impressed

that's really good wow okay let's say

I'm like over it and I'm like I don't

want Tuxedo Mask anymore let's try let's

try let's try some coffee over here so I

have that image let's go ahead and

generate and let's see what happens but

honestly it's like pretty impressive

like because normally I think in certain

images it wants to just paste the image

in there whereas for some reason it

works for this are you kidding that's

literally how close does that look like

to your cat honestly literally like

pretty close pretty close that is W

insane like if someone showed you this

would you believe that that's your cat

oh my God I think I think this one I

would yeah it yeah it's pretty good I'm

impressed I kind of like this one cuz

it's more like front it's very Harry

Potter ass it is very Harry Potter so

let's say like maybe I want

to I maybe I'm not like loving these

glasses I can always like you know be

more specific and just like let's say we

want some like olive green glasses or

something yes what I'm curious about is

if it's going to how it will do with the

eyes so I might have to remove the

selection from the eyes the outer part

yeah cuz sometimes you know you never

know you never know you never know so

let's just go ahead and uh generate that

and see what we get I kind of want like

you know it's it's a Vibe all of Green

glosses I'm excited I'm excited too okay

let's see how that does so close but wow

I mean the detail

and

go that is so good I love how like the

reflections even I know okay I'm into

this I'm into this let's go ahead and

just like clean it up a little bit get

rid of that maybe over here we like add

something what what should we add we

should like do some maybe like a pillow

or something so it's not just like this

weird like a cat toy yeah oh no it

doesn't want to do it let me do it again

hold on hopefully sometimes if you just

hit like the P like a DOT I need to do

the period thing I yeah I'm going to do

that next time if it doesn't work but

hopefully it does this time let's see

but yeah I think that's pretty close I

think I'm ready to like move that into

our magazine cover it's looking really

good and are we going to take some of

the green color from the glasses and

incorporate that into the design oh yeah

mhm mhm exactly o

okay oh there we go that's better super

fluffy yeah yeah there we go I feel like

that's probably fine that's perfect so

let's go ahead and just uh add like a

little pillow here or something so that

it's not um maybe something kind of like

a cream pillow uh yeah I feel like

that's pretty good okay I think we're

get somewh right there I'm I'm enjoying

this green screen here I'm like yeah

it's reverse though there we go yeah put

a pillow here right there see you're

right on top there you go wow how high

does this camera go oh it cuts off right

there okay there we go back in the

studio view back in the

studio okay here we go that's perfect oh

my God I think this one literally

perfect okay I'm pretty happy with this

so let's get going so I'm going to go

ahead and copy this entire thing I'm

doing a copy merge so I'm kind of doing

command shift C yep and then I'm just

going to paste it in here but really

like I'm going to hide this for now

right so let's let's keep that there uh

let's go ahead and add some text I feel

like or actually some color let's do

some color so let's add a

layer and let's get our little bucket I

haven't used our bucket in a in a minute

do you ever use this solid color fill

layer I do I do sometimes but sometimes

if I'm just like let's just let's just

add's just let's go old school we're

going straight paintt bucket here I

don't think I've used the paint bucket

tool

oh

boy maybe ever I never I'm digging it

you know but you you guys can also do a

layer new fill layer solid color and

there we go but since it's kind of like

on its own layer I'm fine with either

way but let's see maybe like I love the

solid fill color layer because you can

double click on the like the color right

like right there the thumbnail you can

just CLI on that and change then if I

can I need to change it which maybe I

will actually like let's say do maybe

like a lighter like olivey color so that

our text can be that dark green I love

it right so something kind of like like

this okay yeah but I'm also loving the

Paint Bucket too if I'm being

honest you know what sometimes you just

got to like have fun and and play around

why not okay so let's go ahead and make

that darker so I want this to be pretty

pretty big so I kind of played around

with a few um fonts but of of course you

guys there's so much more available to

us now now that we have all of the Adobe

fonts it does take a little it's like a

little slow to like go through I don't

know if that's just my my laptop or yeah

sometimes what but I already kind of

decided ahead of time that I I wanted to

use this um this this one right here

look how look how mod that is that's so

cool okay so what what is it called it's

a Vibe it's a Vibe so we're calling it

modern cat right is modern cat so let's

go ahead and

increase oh whoa that's too

much maybe like

150 no that's still too much okay 120

something like that okay there we go o

you guys it's a Vibe okay and then if

you select the layer whichever layer

that's like you know got um something

filled into it you can always use these

little um what do you call it to like

align the alignment tools yeah you can

align to the center you can align it at

the top all of that and yeah that looks

amazing okay now we have to add cat

obviously this is that's what this is so

let's go ahead and just make it like

huge and maybe this will be like a no

that's still too

much so if we do like

270 ooh that's kind of like really good

maybe a little bit less that's a little

that's a little crazy I don't know I

kind of like it you like it yeah I liked

it but then we need to we need to make

room for our image you know and all our

text and stuff too cuz it's a magazine

cover yeah I'm wondering well can we do

the whole like put the cat in front of

the word cat to make it like you know oh

that's a good idea okay we can do this

and then have the the photo here oh

that's an idea so I had originally

thought that I would put it here and

then the image would be here but

honestly I I like either way we can play

around with it right so you could like

do a select subject with the cat and

then put the cat in front of the word

cat so like just the

over to of

it you know yeah all right I'm going to

let you get I'm into it I let's let's

play because that's that's what this is

all about right okay so let me go ahead

and just place this how I want it maybe

it goes a little bit even smaller but I

do want this so I have the option to

select the and I always forget the word

for this is it tracking or something I

think probably yeah there we go there we

go there we go now that's looking really

good okay so then what we could do so

initially I thought okay what if we just

do like a little you know a little

moment here oops yes diing it so

something like this and then we can go

back to our image obviously this is not

how it's going to be cropped but we can

add a layer mask unlink that and then

move it around oops not that one make

sure you have your image selected yeah

and there we

go oh my my gosh can you believe it's

too good it's so good like okay but now

what was the other way so you had said

it was like where cats at the bottom

maybe or or like if all right so let's

try duplicating this layer and then and

then removing the layer mask yes oh then

then removing just like delete the layer

mask okay now we'll go to select subject

I love this okay select subject oh I see

what you're saying yeah I see I see all

right

and then we can put a layer mask on this

now yes and then we can put the cat like

if you bring the cat above the word cat

like there you go

yes something like that and put it on

ooh okay yeah yeah I see oh cute like

goes above the word cat yeah cute and

then what okay you want to take it one

step further yeah let's take it step

further okay so the very top layer

duplicate that one more time okay and

then see this is why we have Aon here

because he's gonna he's gonna show me

all the things you know you know that's

just this is a good it's a good VI right

it's a good vibe okay so on the layer

right right below it okay that one go

ahead and just delete that layer mask

okay delete the layer mask delete the

layer mask we don't even need it right

perfect okay so what and now okay now

what you have is go ahead and take your

letter so take your like modern letter

all the way to the

top so bring that all the way to the top

and then the cat put it between the two

cat layers yes there you go so now this

now if you uh control click your two cat

layers

uh-huh there we go and then use your

move tool then you can move them but see

how the background stays behind the

letter stay but the cat is going to stay

in front I'm obsessed with this okay yes

let me just go ahead and there we go

there we go

you know what this is why we have you

here this is so fun right this is so fun

I'm into this okay so now let's go ahead

and add some text some or like some more

like by lines and things right maybe we

need to add like a little bit of like oh

issue something right like we got to we

got to know what we're we're doing here

so let's go ahead we need some uh

articles that are going to be in modern

cat right exactly I have a few in mind

so I was like I had Clause and Effect

right like you know or like you know

perfect personalities why your cat is so

moody and angsty or like you know what I

mean it's got to have like the title and

then it's got to have like the by line

you know the little like description

feeling frisky why is every cat obsessed

with Friskies yes and we need some from

the chat so this is a perfect time from

everyone at

home maybe a few felines maybe a few

felines Renee awesome so so we need some

we need some lines from the chat at home

in the me I'm going to add like our

issue like the little all the little

things so okay uh I need for because

that is like our modern Ma you know

that's got the font we need like a

secondary font like a recommendation

pairing so I actually did the work

already ahead of time to like find a

font that works with this um I looked it

which is a great resource guys a fonts.

adobe.com when you go and search up a

font you can then uh click on

commendations and it'll show people

using that font with other pairings that

go well with it can we see that actually

because I have never seen that before

you're blowing my mind right now okay so

I'll log in in a second I think it'll

log me in switch to the studio view so

okay there we go there we go okay I know

I to do information perfect right okay

so I think I had impetus as like the

that's the main F the main font right so

then we can go um here

and in recommendations we can go down

here and this is a good pairing that'll

like that goes with it and it looks good

so I'm like oh this is Davis regular

great I can then go back into here that

is brilliant I never knew about that

yeah so wow am I showing you something

you're showing me

something mind is

blowing okay so let's go ahead and

change this to Davis regular and

obviously this is way too big but yeah

it's a great neat little neat little

tool that I love it you know I'm always

trying to like figure out what fonts go

together that's the hardest thing like I

feel like I need like a graphic designer

over here you

know uh thanks to everyone on the

internet you

know okay so maybe this is what issue

what's what's your what's your favorite

number what I feel like what's a cat

number ooh I feel like a cat number

is either like a three I was thinking

three too ah yeah 33 i o 33 yes perfect

okay and then maybe we need to just like

open this up a little bit something like

actually way more than that yeah yes I

am digging it so like that and then

maybe like over

here is so I'll just go ahead and

duplicate that also you guys the mess

that is happening over here don't don't

pay

attention you know name your layers

organize your layers was thinking three

to happened a Pera from the chat was

also thinking the number three hey

amazing okay Joshua says three also dude

all in sync well we're all in all of us

everyone from the from home Kan says

nine too so we need to put maybe August

9th ooh August o

okay there we go there we go and then I

can just pull this this is looking

really good I got to say amazing okay

cool it it's like bugging me that this

is like slightly off

like I don't know if if it's just my

eyes which is slightly off center the

cat or the text I don't know what do you

think is slightly off center I think

it's like no the cat is not even off

center cuz this is like fine this is

like kind of perfect but it's I think

it's more of like the stuff that's here

you know what I mean like this is so

clean and then there's like so much

happening over here yes okay yeah I

guess I could always like gen fill some

some stuff over here if I really wanted

to but for sure for for sure or I can

always like maybe this is just all on

this side I think that looks better yeah

and actually also this needs to that can

be gen fill there going to gen fill

right here boom boom perfect okay yeah

it's so funny cuz little things like

this like that little bar on the bottom

like that would have just taken forever

and it's it's always the simplest

smallest thing where it's like dude you

don't even know look at how much like

how many things there are like the

texture is like whenever there's texture

from like clothing

wow beautiful done done oh my gosh done

wow okay so loving this let's go ahead

and just make this one a little bit

smaller and I feel like everyone at home

is probably screaming like you there's

shortcuts for this no you're doing great

but you know it is what it is okay so

let's go ahead and do a light maybe and

make it like a little bit tinier so it's

like a little bit more like yeah maybe I

could even like do like a little line or

something oh I like that right something

a feine a fee line I actually don't

really know how to do like what how

would you even like do something like

this I feel like this is probably let me

just do a little layer maybe like we we

do a little stroke right uhhuh and then

I probably should have zoomed in for

this but it's okay okay there's a

million billion ways to do I know

there's so many okay oh that did like a

let me fill it in instead right yeah

okay so if we do a

fill then foreground color or maybe just

color so that I can actually pick it

there we

go amazing nice okay and then I can

always

just literally transform it transform it

there you go something like that wow

love it love it love it love it love it

okay so now let's go ahead and do our

like our articles yes okay so give me

give me some articles has anyone said

anything I feel like for sure Clause and

Effect yeah Clause and Effect is all

right so now's now's the other time uh

to suggest some articles so we're going

to write some new articles I have it for

one of them Clause and Effect why you

should never declaw your cat oh I love

this yeah and it's true it's true real

you really shouldn't you're doing a

you're doing a service right now to the

public I am

doing cats of the World Unite and thank

you yeah there we go Clause and Effect

let's bring that up a little bit we need

them to be like pretty pretty massive

that's actually super brilliant I kind

of want you to write a cat magazine

honor it's legit

good right everyone at home are't we

giving Arabella some actual props for

this I'm like kind of want you to be a

copywriter here a I would read

like you know yeah it's like round one

get all your thoughts on there round two

make it a little bit like cut it down

round three make it witty you know

that's my process anyway okay maybe

another one is like cattitude and it's

kind

of um decoding your cats

like what like what what

is actually yeah decoding all the meows

decoding the meows decoding the meow

we've got some great uh chats from home

so Carol says toilet training 101 save

litter a Pera Cat Club the next

meow we've got cat language for humans

that that could be a uh for for

cattitude that could be yeah Headline

News

meow me

anything I am just

cat I am obsessed how to claim a couch

oh my God that's honestly really good oh

I love the idea of this being a magazine

for cats I think this should be a MAG

magine four cats actually 100 ways to

ignore your human sounds like Sonia

actually has a

cat oh my God I love it okay so why okay

so Clause and Effect but then it would

in our Clause and Effect article right

cuz then it's like why you should never

uh declaw your cats yes or why you

should never declaw us us no that sounds

weird leave our claws leave our Clause

be

yeah uh I don't know I'm going back and

forth I think I want I'm going to go

with my guy okay go with your gu why you

should never

declaw uh

your cat yes is this I feel like this

needs to go down huh like yeah there we

go there we go okay I'll fix it in a

second I want to read this magazine no

joke you know it's so fun okay so I

think that looks good and then let me

bring down

cattitude and honestly like we could

probably we could play with different

text like the color so that it stands

out more or what we could do as well we

could you know literally make a an

adjustment layer to our cat photo here

CP make sure we clip

it and

then oh wait it needs to do like all of

it huh that's what I I need to do cuz

it's it's getting all this too whoops

let me

see o I think maybe what I need to

do let's see okay so that's clip there

but maybe maybe if I can duplicate that

and do it for this

one create clipping mask did that fix it

for that one oh yeah I guess it did

there you go and then you know work

around do what you got to do you know

that's the weird thing about generative

fill is that it throws off like

everything that you do normally you

knowl like workflow stuff so it is a

little funky but you know what that's

that feels better right now you can like

read it a little bit better the other

thing that you can do is like a drop

shadow and you adjustment brush tool

adjustment brush tool adjustment brush

tool so we could do a little ploop ploop

you know and then let's see so we do a

little curves it's going to be bright

right now but I'll switch it right now

something like that that's definitely a

lot but if we there we go you know oh

and actually let me change all of

these oh no that's not what I want to do

okay so looks like it's just the RGB

there you go oh there you go there you

go

yeah or wait did it do it brighter why

did it do it

brighter is it cuz it's

the that blue line what is that you hit

the reset button right there yes there

you

go but then it does it yeah look

it cuz it's doing all three color

channels oh I see okay so then how about

we do a like levels adjustment let's see

yeah there we go and

then okay it's going to do it bright for

now but if we

do this way there we go oh looking good

there we go now we can see it better

okay we found it in effect there you go

Claus and effect okay so for

cattitude let's

do what is our our description here oh

it it's like decoding your cat's me M or

no de no

decoding what uh maybe who okay who what

cat has the most cattitude it's like

it's got to be

like I feel like gingers have a lot of

cattitude oh for sure you know

it why are furry no the attit all the

attitudes the

multiple personalities yeah there we go

of our ginger cats yes okay perfect okay

one more see you're good at this so

maybe we do meow language nice yes

although now we we're doing all C's

should it be like another C thing

hobbies for 3:00 a.m. says Sonia I love

that oh how about uh well we're going to

we're going to go off the C's here but

perfect naps and then it's like maybe

it's like how to get your C

to how

to something something about the 3:00

a.m. Zoomies yes you

know okay let's see hobbies for 3:00

a.m. okay so maybe it's like

H how to get your

cat

to stop waking you up

yes at 3:00 a.m. there we go okay

perfect wow that looks amazing I might I

might just even like move all of these

yeah like down right like should they be

down or is this going to be too like you

know I kind of do like them up here too

I don't know good up there yeah maybe

maybe that's fine and then maybe we do

some more over here right like that's

that would be the idea you can do that

and then let's say let's see okay how

about and we can still technically

change this okay great yes so what if we

added a few a bit of grain to our text

or something so maybe we

do let's go ahead and duplicate that

layer for modern okay or actually I

wonder oh yeah actually I'm going to do

that okay if we do

um let's do a gradient overlay here o I

like that I know I'm like ooh okay so

let's and you can change a blend mode of

those gradients too that's true I'm

going to see what happens if I do that

I'm press okay and then I'm going to

make the layer style its own

layer and then now I'm going to like add

some text or some grain to that oh I

like this some

noise ooh what okay that's kind of

fun maybe we change the like ooh I like

that yeah let's zoom in so everyone at

home can really see that effect thank

you thank you there we go look at that w

glitter now it is like glitter maybe we

do it with the cat one too we got to

we've got to okay let's do it let's do

this step by step everyone at home needs

sorry for the disorganization on the

layers part but you you're doing great

it's okay it's okay it's a work in

progress you know exactly okay so

basically you want to double click the

cat layer right that pulls up the layer

style and then we want to select

gradient overlay and of course we

already have the gradient selected it's

kind of like um like this like uh

to Black obviously you can play around

with all kinds of things like if you

really want to you can go crazy um but I

feel like that's you know something like

that and I think it is based on like

your foreground color too so but if you

double click on that gradient then you

can also select you know there we go so

if we do like black I want to make sure

I do that there we go so that's that

right the gradient overlay you're good

to go press okay and then we go over to

layer layer this the key right here and

create layer so that it's separate

separated and then it shows up right

here at the top and then now on that

layer it's basically CLI to that uh that

text layer you can do filter and of

course I love okay this is a new thing

that I've noticed in the Photoshop as

well I think it's not super new anymore

but it can save multiple filters now yes

right is that amazing so then I can just

do add noise and there we go so and then

now we go to

maybe what was it that we did color

Dodge that's right look at that oh my

goodness you

guys I love it this is too good it's so

good okay so I figured that we would

also do some fun um some ads that belong

in this magazine right because the ads

also have to be like fun and you know

and modern and we're going to need some

help from everyone at home for we're

going to need some help so I do okay so

we all know at least my cats love a good

good cardboard box I don't know why I

buy them all the expensive toys the a

want the card Bo they just want the

cardboard box so I fig it's like

Christmas when the wrapping paper is the

most fun you

know so I figured that we would do like

a modern um you know like a little a

little fun thing all right so here we go

so I figured we would start with a

little uh shipping box because that is

what they love right so let's go ahead

and it fits it sits

exactly so let's go ahead and remove the

background so now we've got and actually

I'm going to remove this uh that base

layer and remove it so that we are good

to go transparent transparent and I want

to make this kind of small right cuz I

like this is like the page the ad page

right so I kind of want it to be like

somewhere here

maybe and I feel like that feels good

something like that right so now it's

great cuz then we can edit the

background and generate a background

crazy crazy so let's go ahead and do

that all right what do we generate I

feel like I got to get out of the way

over here what are we generating right

there let's generate they moved us okay

now it's that way this flip thing is

messing me up no this way I know right

yeah it is weird that um cool okay so

let's do I feel like this has to be

pretty like pretty modern so maybe we

can do like a like Peach like

you know um what is it called backdrop

with like an arched hallway like very

just like you know fancy just the fancy

you know so maybe it's like

Peach

um let's see I don't know if Dreamscape

is the right uh let's go for it let's go

for it Peach Dreamscape dreamcap an

arched

hallway um yeah let's try that why not

let's go ahead and

it let's do it let's see what happens I

mean you can't wrong you know you can

just type anything in and hit the button

again so at this point it's like do

whatever whatever your heart desires

your heart desires you

know I love it okay oh so close and I

figured that for the text yes let's say

this this is an actual brand they just

sell you shipping boxes for four cats

wow okay that's amazing looking pretty

I'm going to order that box I mean this

okay this is really cute yeah come on

are you kidding me that's really good

it's legit good so good okay so if we do

that's beautiful okay so I was thinking

that the brand name was called The Box

okay and then the by line it's just a

simple by line and it just says because

cats know what they really want yeah

they do and that's it and then that I

mean I don't know know what else you

would need from a n it's like so simple

yeah you know it's the box it's the Box

okay so let's

do oh man that's so pretty I kind of

want to do a generate similar and see

what happens oh good idea yeah let's do

that and then I know you've been playing

around with the like increasing the um

the resolution enhance the resolution I

wonder if that would that would work in

this situation probably right for sure

it's the best I mean I'm just curious

It's the best it's the best you just

click there and it does it

I know I was noticing that you have to

do it with like a bigger yeah IM or

bigger selection or bigger generation

right yeah because I think it generates

like a 1024x 1024 image so if whatever

it generates is within that size wow you

know no need oo look oh my gosh I mean I

don't know I do like this generate

similar honestly it's so good which one

do we like I like this one that one's

really nice I kind of like want to

generate more so that it goes more but

then I don't know so it keeps going down

so it keeps going down I wonder if you

did like a like a gen fill layer on top

of this I also kind of really like this

one too good yeah maybe this one

actually I think this is my favorite and

then maybe like maybe I I just gen fill

this out because this is kind of

distracting yeah that's a little

distracting we'll say give us some a

different option right there yeah maybe

I need to include this so that it's like

all right I mean something like that

okay hopefully and actually I might need

to do this on top of this because

otherwise the shipping box won't you

know what I mean it has to sit on top

it's got to be on top of it for sure

that's one thing that you have to pay

attention to is when you're generating

yes that you're doing it on top of you

know yeah hey there you go we wanted

that is exactly what we wanted oh my

gosh boom that's

beautiful I mean this looks like a lowy

looks like we're about to like take off

like flight you know it's just like I

was thinking this was what heaven looks

like

I mean to cats

right my own private room with clouds in

the background with just a box yes just

a

box okay I really actually liked that

Davis one for this one too but maybe

just like maybe we got oh grabbing

colors from the image I love it yes we

got to like do oh I need to like select

that

whoops maybe it needs to be oh it needs

to be something like oh yeah something

lighter there we go

yeah and then maybe like even a little

bit lighter yeah there we go I like that

the

box and it's just like period

period it doesn't need anything else it

doesn't and maybe it needs to be like

um like the maybe a little bit bold oh

yes right bold the Box the Box this is

so good honestly already wow you guys if

this was an ad can you imagine yeah I'm

in I like I would get it even though I

could probably get a box anyway from

Amazon it literally is g to come to your

house all the time anyway what would

make this box more special that it needs

to be own brand you know I think what

would be actually cool yes is if there

were perforated sections of the box that

you could punch out you no there is

actually brand a brand of boxes that

does that where it's like they make

custom boxes but it's like a whole

little house and so the cats can like go

in and then you can make your own too

I've seen some DIY like YouTube videos

where like it's like a taco stand and

where the cat can go in and then it like

it's like popping

out oh my God it's too good okay this

one definitely needs to be like a

different font so let's do like a skinny

something skinny hold on let me actually

let me move it so we can actually see

what's happening okay let's go to more

fonts because we need to we need to find

something

here ooh

I guess I kind of need to see it with

the font to with the other one there you

go yeah okay oh that's kind of nice

that's nice it's hard cuz there's so

many that you're like oh my gosh it's

going to take forever to pick there's a

bajillion there's like a what's the tool

called it's like a match font yeah have

you ever used that no it can okay so

it's actually kind of cool so if you

just created like a new regular new

layer okay if you got like two seconds

yeah oh I have seconds okay and then now

we're just going to use like basically

go to uh type up at the very top where

it says type like on the type menu there

and then go down to where it says match

font yeah and then take that box the

like background box like this thing and

then put it over just the word the box

there and then make it make it a little

bit smaller so it's like you know kind

of just like put how do I oh there

should be able to drw yeah there we go

perfect and so they put it over the word

that you want to watch there yep you did

it perfect so now I was going to search

for that font it's going to try to find

that exact font okay but the cool thing

is oh wait did I do did I not whoops uh

let's try it one more time's try one

more time you're doing great Okay Okay

match font and then yep just bring that

perfect and then just give it a second

because it's it's searching for fonts so

it's

like but the cool thing is it's going to

find it but it's also going to find

really similar fonts too which is kind

of fun so you can go ahead and download

any of those similar fonts that you want

wow you download that and then once you

download that I like to hit that star

right there there you go and then if you

hit okay perfect so then like if you go

to your because font there the that that

one there okay and then click on that

little down there then you can go to

your stars my stars which they just

changed this they just updated this oh

in your fonts yeah in your fonts and

then click on the star there there you

go that's the one there that is really

neat similar now it's not the exact same

font but it's kind of simar so maybe

they kind of go together you that's true

and then maybe you could change the font

weight of that so it's oh in this case

it's it doesn't only have oh dang

it darn

Che all right well that was really cool

though actually because that's that's a

fun little thing yeah I like it okay

let's maybe it's like we need to go to

like a clean yeah let's go clean let's

go clean so maybe like I mean I don't

mind that actually pretty actually I

like one there we go yeah because cats

uh know what they really want period

yeah they do literally okay let's bring

this

down wow okay I definitely need to make

that a little bites it's two

yes yes yes and then it's here and then

it's here yeah

wow and then maybe I make it a little

smaller and then

maybe maybe I like make it even a little

lighter so it just stands out a little

bit more there we go oh did that do

that I never know okay is there a font

weight that's like a little bit uh A

Little Bit Stronger yeah maybe I

do let's see you could do a faux bold on

that o I don't mind that oh that's true

I could do a faux bold actually I know

that's kind of like a no no for like you

know you

know well cuz I'm not a designer there

you go so you got to get get to go away

with it there we go okay yes you guys uh

honestly this looks really good I want

to go there wherever this is wherever

this is I mean can you imagine can I

live there can that be my home oh my

gosh someone said fluffy carpet needed

ooh like a carpet here oh that's

brilliant that is so smart let's do it

we Jen fill that yeah should I just do

the whole thing let me see uh fluffy

extra extra fluffy uh extra

fluffy carpet

yes right okay let's see I'm into this

wow okay I love it oh my gosh this this

is like a fun ad I would totally get

this I'm Legit digging this honestly I

think my cat would really enjoy it too

my cats yeah I feel like we need like a

like a hint of a cat somewhere in here

like a shadow of a cat or something like

that you know how about like a little

like a cat tail like almost or like the

half of a half of a cat like moving away

from the

yes I like that

ooh ooh that's good that is good okay

maybe I can like just go into that layer

mask yes and use a soft brush bring down

the opacity a little bit ooh blend the

blend it baby if you go all the way on

the left yeah you're so fast at this

already I know I'm like lightning speed

wow okay what did what what were you

saying I'm like you're not even going to

say it thism I'm like you already did

it I could also do like a little

gradient like situation but you know

right now we we did it we don't we don't

have time just kid you're amazing yeah

okay try to slow down a lightning bolt

good luck I know it's already done there

we go okay that's you guys that's really

good it's legit good okay so let's add

the little the cute little cat like just

like walking away maybe another one's

over here walking away too or actually

it's here like in here to kind of like

add like I think it should be in there

for sure okay let's do that so let's go

ahead and

do like a cat tail what do you

think hey that's looking good you know I

just it just needs to be like somewhat

of a you know yes so cat uh what kind of

cat tabby cat tabby cat uh W not walking

away walking away yeah walking away

walking away walking away I'm out of

here let's hope I don't know we'll see

it might be like what do you

want maybe I should have done the the

tail upward yeah right maybe well we're

going to see we're already in it you

know it's happening we're already in it

you're right you know oh my God a pretty

good that's so cute

wait that's really precious I okay I

like this I want to generate similar to

see cuz I like maybe I need to be bigger

maybe I needs to be bigger the selection

uh yeah I think bigger and then what do

you think about like should it be

walking away or should it be walking

towards the bo you know I just like the

little tail like I like like a little

like ooh wait that's really

cute I think I like this one it's really

good that's good okay now another one

that's kind of like peeking here too so

like says I know that cat I know that

cat she's from my neighborhood

a cat maybe this one's like a white

cat away ooh behind something like that

I don't know we'll see I know

fancy let's see hopefully wow this is

looking really good guys this is totally

really good we went like an extra level

of what I was planning for this we're

just going to design the whole magazine

oh oh there we go okay wait that one

good right I'm going toate s generate

similar yes yes 100% agree I love that

it did the Shadow and everything too yes

I think that's per and actually you know

maybe it's well in relation to the box I

feel like it's small so maybe I need to

do a bigger yeah a bigger sele oh that's

not bad that's looking better there oh I

like that

too should I try for uh is there okay

let me let me do a bigger I know right

now Now They just added where you can

move a gen fill and then regenerate it

really yes uh but I don't know if you

can scale it and regenerate it yeah we

should find out yeah okay live you know

no pressure no pressure right let's

let's find out okay so we've got cuz I

know you can move it okay just kidding

didn't mean that okay there we go there

we go so let's see if you want to choose

one that's all the way in the frame

there we go there we go so let's try

scale that

okay like

yep there we go and then move it to the

left

there there we go and hit enter and then

you should be able to generate again

generate again yeah really I mean I'm

like looking around I'm like wait

actually this is really smart to try

though because I would yeah that's great

cuz then it's like if you like something

yes then you can just move it and

hopefully oh okay well you know oh okay

didn't didn't work didn't work exactly

how what is happening here a cat outlet

plug you know this is the beauty of

doing things live right okay so maybe

not scale but I know you can move and

then regenerate that will work that's

pretty cool though let's go with your

original uh you know you know I don't

mind this actually I like that it's kind

of like a little bit tucked in a little

bit tucked in yeah yes okay you guys

we've got about three minutes to go

maybe we do one more in the Box let's do

one more in the box and then it's going

to be like boom boom boom we are

champions okay perfect everyone at home

your suggestions have been

fantastic I know you guys have done an

amazing job like just adding all the

suggestion leaving me speechless or

should I say

[Laughter]

catatonic catastic

catastic oh

baby I feel like that's kind of perfect

honestly so cute wait okay do we like

the chunkier one oh mad points for

chunky mad points let's well actually I

really like the color of this one yes

but let me let me add some more we've

got a few minutes we got a few minutes

minutes we can do

magic amazing I'm into this good job

it's so good this is good teamwork this

is the epitome of teamwork this is all

you ever want you know exactly

wow

a it's too good you guys

I love it okay although does it look

like so maybe this one just a maybe this

is a kitten it's a kitten so you know I

just don't that one's the best one

that's kind of the best one maybe we

remove the white cat what do you think

yeah maybe we do huh it's a little bit

CLE so cute I don't know yeah yeah let's

do one over here like walking in there

we go when we submitted to you know

Fancy

Cat we can submit very modern cat we can

submit variations yeah exactly you know

so they'll okay okay amazing let's just

just let's pray this one looks good the

selection is a little funky but you know

it is what it is looks good oh my gosh

just a sleeping giant cat

wait what do we like I like the big

sleeping cat do you scale might be a

little the scale's off but I'm in maybe

it's just a giant cat it's a giant cat

giant cats world doesn't exist so I feel

like it's okay wow you guys we did that

from scratch and then also where's our

our and we can go back to Modern cat

modern cat and our the Box ad you guys

thank you so much you did an amazing job

thank you so much and thank you everyone

at home for joining us in our chat this

was an absolutely Fant fantastic

broadcast join us we've got another

great broadcast coming up for you right

after this one yeah oh my God we're

going to be designing a campaign woo woo

all right we'll see you then bye

everyone it's all about style matching

so I'm going to show you how to use

gener to fill and how to use Adobe

Firefly to match your style of something

that you've created so when we're

working with this image let's say I want

to reimagine it in a different style so

I want to create this out of clay we

have generative fill and I'm just going

to do this as clay so it just generates

clay right and it's not necessarily

taking in the input of what's happening

in the background it is just 100%

filling with Clay here's what we do

we're going to create a new layer

hitting control shift n we're going to

hit the Q hotkey and Q is going to take

us into Quick mask you can see here that

we have that red layer that means we're

in a quick mask mode so using the Paint

Bucket tool we're going to make sure

that we have black set right here boom

click right there so the whole thing is

selected red that means that it is

filled 100% with black I'm going to hit

control shift F and that's going to

bring up the fade panel so if I change

this to about 50% so I'm going to hit

okay right here to go out of quick mask

mode and just use our selection we're

going to hit Q so we're going to hit

generative fill and maybe let's do

colored clay so there we go it is

converted and it's done a really good

job but what it's telling me is that

it's actually considering the prompt a

little bit too much let's do 75 and see

what happens and same thing I'm going to

do colored clay all right so we've

gotten a lot closer I like what's

happening with the type one more time

with that workflow let's do 65 this time

so you can see here this is the

65% and this is the 75% so you can see

it gets a little bit cleaner and it gets

a little bit closer to that original

image let's hop over and take a look

look at Adobe Firefly let's come in here

and I'm going to do a living room at

Christmas fireplace Christmas tree gifts

wreath candles and a chair so then at

the end here I am going to type in line

art sketch and maybe pencil drawing so

what I'm going to do is I'm going to

copy the image so now I'm just going to

go to control new and create a new

document so control shift n is going to

create a new layer Q to enter quick mask

fill with 100% black and we're going to

fade the selection to about 90% which

means that it's only going to be

considering 10% of the prompt and

keeping 90% of the sketch we're going to

hit okay here from there we're going to

do generative fill and we're just going

to describe the sketch that we've seen

so we're going to hit generate here you

can see that it's a little bit different

but it's only taking in 10% of that

sketch right here's where the magic

comes in I'm going to set this at 50%

and then generative faill we are going

to put that same prompt in and hit

generate turned out pretty good here so

you can see that we have matched the

sketch almost perfectly using that 50% I

need this chair to be read so what I'm

going to do is I'm just going to create

a new layer and we're going to help give

Firefly some more information and so I'm

just going to try to paint in some of

this color and we are looking fantastic

okay now we are going to do our workflow

one more time there we go so we have our

red shair with the blue Pillow we've got

the blue curtains over here so check

this out we are going to open up a

document that I have here so I'm going

to use the object selection just to

select that little guy we are going to

contrl C to copy and then we're going to

paste him right into our scene I also

going to grab this Christmas tree here I

am going to add a gradient map over the

whole thing that's just going to help me

bring the colors together from there I'm

going to change the blending mode of

this to soft light and we're going to

hit contrl alt shift e and that is going

to merge everything down so go to filter

filter Gallery let's go ahead and try a

charcoal pen so we've converted into a

sketch let's go ahead and do our

workflow and I'm just describing the

sketch scene that we have here so we do

oil painting and then bright colors and

then here you can see that it has

converted that into this different style

so really really cool workflow so we're

going to go back into Adobe Firefly on

the web right here and I'm going to show

you another way to kind of match your

style pattern of cactus and tropical

flowers so I can come over here and I

can actually change in the reference

image gallery so this is going to match

a style so we're going to upload my own

image and now it's uploaded as my style

reference now I do want it to consider

this image a lot so we're going to hit

generate so now you can see we do have

the cactus and it has changed from from

those renders that we had in the past

and it has matched the reference of the

image that I uploaded I'm not mad about

these at all thanks so much for joining

me hopefully you learned a bunch during

this stream it is a really fun workflow

so play around with that try to create

something and see what you can make

using this style matching technique bye

everyone hello hi everybody welcome back

welcome back I'm Ellie Mt I'm Andrew Haw

r and we are here once again working in

some of the new features that were

announced at um max London yes Max

London that was the we are here at Max

taking over you you all y'all in um

London are probably asleep by now yes um

but we are continuing on the day what

did we talk about today what got

released so we have talked about so much

there are so many new features we were

in Photoshop beta earlier there are um

um you have the ability to do um an

image match in Photoshop you have the

ability to generate an image from

nothing in Photoshop beta and um image

model 3 which is now in Firefly in

preview and then also in Photoshop beta

we played a little bit in InDesign we're

going to get more into that in a few

minutes and was that all was there

anything else I think that's it and we

do have some new things in in design and

guess what chat we are having an in

design

stream in design stream in design stream

we never stream in design here on Adobe

live and look at us we're here we're in

design I going to take myself back to

where I started design we're going to go

to workspace and we're going to do that

Essentials classic o beautiful oh it's

taking me back it's taking me back um

all right so we are going to be in in

design and the reason that we're working

in in design today is because there is a

new feature in in design where did my

page go did I just lose my page

no we' been here for 3 seconds in Design

This is your moment in Design This your

moment in design we're trying don't

trying to give you a moment to shine

okay we're back okay we got it um so

what we're going to be doing today is we

are going to be vibing off of the last

stream and what was happening on the

last the last stream if uh people

weren't watching the last stream was all

about cats and um Arabella was working

on a cat magazine she was kind of

updating The Branding of

an existing cat magazine and also doing

some ads for that in Photoshop so if you

guys miss that you can always watch the

replay of all of these streams that will

be available for you and so we're going

to kind of do part two and move into a

catalog yes and please say hello in the

chat let us know where you guys are

watching from and please feel free to

give your thoughts ideas inputs if you

guys have suggestions drop those in the

chat and we will try to implement those

and if you have questions as well about

all the new features please feel free to

drop those in as well yes so let's go

ahead and hop in here um and sumone

saying I'm still two apps away from

InDesign no it's okay it's okay we'll

get there and Rafael hi nice to see you

rapael um all right so what we're going

to do is we're hopping into in design

and we are going to create a cover for

our cat AOG um and I'm actually going to

get started right here in in design

what's really cool is now we have a new

feature and we can go to window text to

image beta amazing and it is beta here

in uh Adobe Illustrator and let's just

type in something for our cover we want

to have a beautiful so let's do b e a

UL cat do you want Calico yes I love

calico cat uh sitting in a box and then

maybe let's do like a um I want like an

adobe um like walls

and maybe like and Cactus oh yeah right

I want it to be like a like a um Phoenix

the queen of Phenix I love it cat I love

it everyone's pumped about in design by

the way yes we everyone's excited are so

excited so we have our imag here and

usually we're used to having our uh

image we where we make our shape and

then we will place or control D to place

something in there well now we can just

use text to image beta and we can hit

generate and it is going to generate

something for us in that that text box

which is really cool amazing right yes

Rita is asking if the stream is live it

is live we are here we are doing it

right now 104 p.m. 10:4 p.m. April 24th

23 there we are hello there's our studio

manager over there hello this is here's

all the stuff that's off the screen okay

that's all we got we are here so you can

ask those questions and we will answer

them and you can give suggestions and we

will we'll do it yes anything you want

to know anything you want so all I need

to do is now select my shape wow detail

oh my gosh so Majestic I like this one I

love this one okay so I like this one so

what I'm going to do is I am going to uh

see if I can maybe refine this a little

bit so we could extract from image we

could grab our color themes which would

be really cool so they can have a

palette to work from so I'm going to

click on color themes and it is going to

create a new library for me um let's see

here there we go extract from image yes

love that great oh boy all right get

this out of here so let's see if we can

uh add this image here oh come on chat

oh my goodness oh my goodness oh I'm so

stressed okay and design come on get it

together o no wait I clicked on type

didn't I okay color themes please just

give us okay we're not doing that that's

not we're focusing on chat okay well yes

we're focusing on is this image here and

what I want to do is I I like this image

and I want to maybe try to I don't know

Spruce things up a little bit so what

I'm going to do is I'm actually going to

try to open this over in Photoshop and

maybe add in a little bit of a different

detail um and so let's see here let's go

to Let's embed it looks good to me more

kitties in boxes yes uh and let's see if

we

can chat Rita says click on save to

library oh yes you're right let's do

that that's what we want to do thank you

chat I was trying to edit in Photoshop

we're just going to add it to a library

and then just open it in Photoshop point

we're putting in Anchor points because

that's uh where it deserves to be so

we're going to uh go ahead and add in

the

graphic should add down there and let's

take this over into Photoshop and we

should be able to open this directly in

Photoshop and let's see here let's go a

little peek into the first stream of the

day which was also so much fun so watch

the replay if you missed that I'm still

obsessed with this image it's really

good I need to post it's gorgeous it's

so good um Okay cool so let's go into

our library that we just had right there

and we're going to find our image of our

friend and we need a name chat we need a

name for our cats okay what's the name

for this

cat uh let's find where it linked in is

it not in the

chat chat chat chat chat chat chat chat

chat all right chat here's what we're

going to do cuz I can't get it to work

right now with the library here's what

we're going to do we're going to start

in Photoshop and we're going to link it

let's do that okay so uh we're going to

do some like supporting imagery maybe uh

in in design but we're going to start

Photoshop and then link it over let's do

it again there's no wrong way to do

things just different ways all right so

from here we are going to generate image

and this is the way that we can start

from scratch and generate an image and

let's do uh uh calico

cat in a

box um Regal and then

oops and then uh Adobe

walls with

cactus uh

fantasy um and then let's maybe

do like

minimal

modern and then let's

do uh um what's like the like front

facing oh yeah front facing all right

let's do that and then let's look at

some effects here pette oh p is great um

Echo echo's good too lady

finger yes okay let's see pette like a

paw I like Divine and then maybe let's

do like a hyper realistic all right so

let's generate these and see what

happens and thank you for all the names

chat I love the names keep them

coming so we're probably going to have

multiple cats we need to name on this

stream so it's very true oh oh my God

wow I like that one oh this feels very

like in the mall I like this one okay it

really does so we're going to start here

marmalade

marmalade marmalade I like marmalade uh

so what we're going to do is we're going

to start here and I'm just going to save

this image so we're going to save this

and I'm just going to save to the

desktop and we're going to just save it

as cover uh and it's going to be a PSD

and what I can do now is I can come back

here and we can just place that directly

into our document so we're going to go

to cover

and we have that placed into our

document thanks

Paul all right so we have our cover uh

generated with Adobe Firefly but I maybe

want a little bit of extra space and I

want to like Center a little bit we need

some space for text yes so I could do

that here um I very easily could resize

it here but we actually have a new tool

and I will I need to save this as a JPEG

chat we're we're fumbling here all right

it's all right it's all right everyone's

having a great time we're doing great

all right

uh so what I can do is I can come to

Firefly and let's go to firefly.com and

this is going to allow me to extend that

image which is really cool amazing so uh

you can see there's a module that I just

clicked on right there uh and we can go

ahead and expand an image so if we want

to do our own uh we can just start this

over and let's see if

we you know what let's do this there we

go upload and let's find our image which

would be on the desktop I believe cover

cat

and now we can expand so if you're using

generative fill expand is now an option

and this is new today uh so that we can

add more space and that way we can kind

of just play around with having space

for text maybe we want to have a little

bit more uh versatility MH with what

we're working with look at this little

cutie let's sensor right there hello all

right so we're going to generate here

and it is going to generate the rest of

this image for us it's going expand it

out so we have more um space to work

with especially when we're putting in

type beautiful oh my

goodness I think I like this one yeah I

like the the CAC oh I CLI on more we

okay we're getting more options chat

we're going to see more

options re says I love the process of

doing everything from scratch it's

really cool yes it is so fun to see the

process

oh I like this one oh well

yes yes okay let's do this no let's do

this one I don't like what's happening

uh on top of the head yeah so let's stay

and let's definitely keep those edits

and then let's go ahead and use the

remove tool and I'm just going to hover

over and remove those little pieces

right there and it should fill in with

Sky for us so that we don't have to deal

with the like Cactus coming out of uh

what was the name uh marmalade marmalade

got it um question the in design

features that you were showing the text

image is that in beta or it's just in in

beta it is in beta yes text image beta

yes yeah so let me remove this and then

I'll go ahead and save it and we can

relink it um in our InDesign then we can

start adding some text on top of it as

well

beautiful great got it keep cool

download save got it

good did we download downloaded got

it it's trying his best there's a lot

happening chat so I'm just gonna replace

this here and we have um I believe in

our downloads we should

have where is our

little C there we go

hello yes um rapael is asking what is

the difference between the website

version of generative expand and the

Photoshop generative expand same same

yeah all same uh one is in beta and one

is in preview uh the web is in preview

and uh the Photoshop is in beta all

right so I already love this I'm going

to go ahead and add in a cover

here and we're going to do uh maybe we

what should we call

it the Calico catalog catalog yeah love

it

calico cat alog a cat should the cat be

emphasized yes let's do that so let's

grab some uh type here and we can just

use Adobe fonts I think this is what we

want oh I love it right mhm mhm bubbly

and fun so I'm going to just increase

sizing here so we have this cute oh I

love this font this is a really fun font

okay so if something gets uh kind of

broken off here you can actually hit

command option C and it will make it so

that your box is the full size

um of the document okay so I do think

that the cat here needs to have a little

bit more oomph on it there is only one

um let's add another extra stroke on

it uh where's my stroke there we go

stroke here and

okay that's a lot okay we let's do it a

different color okay let's do this in

like a

cream oh actually let's color pick from

our little friend here

yeah um all right let's see

here ey dropper

tool let's grab this

light yeah love that love that okay and

then let's maybe get

the type a little more locked in

here oh I hit my

mouse hold on chat stick with me okay

and then cat

let's do in maybe this like

brown so yeah another um question about

in design beta are you working in

InDesign beta right now yes this is

InDesign beta right now it's happening

we are there together we we're doing

it actually I do want this to be white

actually you know what let's do like a

light little oh yeah let's do that

that's not bad oh I like that mhm mhm

all right uh I just want the color oh

Andrew pull it

together oh boy

chat there we go uh and actually sure

let's do a little we'll do a little side

side Pro tip so what just happened there

is I tried to grab the color from the

top and I was getting the the size of

the font yes so if you grab the ey

dropper tool and in design and with text

selected you select text it is going to

change to all of the different versions

of that it's going to grab all of the

assets but if you hold shift will change

to just be this little crosshairs so you

see the little crosshairs right there

and now when I hit plus it's only going

to grab the color that is amazing you

also can sample the color of things

outside and it will sample only the

color wait does that work in illustrator

too it does wow what a great tip it does

actually let's see that is a pat peeve

of mine so thank

you eyes no I like the orange the orange

yeah I could actually probably just

sample the orange from over here yes

maybe a little bit darker

all right I like that we're sampling and

then I'm like let's just like not do

that actually no yes okay so the Calico

catalog looks great oh my goodness I'm

in love all right so let's generate some

more uh cats chat I need types of cats I

need uh send them all send us cats send

them all so can we do like um one of

those like really fluffy gray cats yes I

used to have one of those yes okay so

what I'm going to do here is I want to

have a little bit of information about

them

and so I'm actually going to use is this

a catalog for people to get cats or to

get cat items for their cats oh know

it's about cats so people could just

order cats yes I love this yes so okay

so what I'm going to do is I know that I

want to kind of create this weird like

wobbly shape so I'm an illustrator now

chat hold on we're going we're going to

all the program we're going everywhere

oh Russian blue yeah that's a short hair

gray I think right I think so what I'm

going to do is I'm going to use the pen

tool here I'm just going to create like

a line and the reason I'm creating a

line is I want to have one side be like

really wobbly so I'm going to create a

line and then go to effects and we're

going to go to distort and transform and

we're going to do zigzag and then make

it smooth and this is going to allow me

to have this nice little wave I'm going

to do a bit more of a wave cat and then

we're going to do like

that and so now with this I can actually

expand it and it's going to turn into

that path so now I have this nice path

and what I'm going to do

is I am just going to create a full

shape out of

this oh my goodness clever is dropping

all the

cats all right wow so now I have this

really weird obtuse shape which I love

and I'm actually going to round these

out a little bit and I love using

illustrator for this to create shapes

and then I'm going to take this into in

design and I can paste this in here and

it's pasting it in as a path for me so

I'm going to stretch this just so it

goes to the whole page and now I have

this really weird kind of shape I love

it and what's cool is I can select this

shape and then again use that new tool

of text to image beta and let's see what

happens when I try to fill this in

aspect ratio Square probably yeah we

have a vertical aspect ratio amazing

Chad I think this is the first time that

we have a vertical aspect ratio I aesome

I've always done 3x4 and then zoomed in

I I didn't know this was happening and

I'm so excited about it okay so what

kind of cats do we have um so many um

let's try a Norwegian Forest I don't

know what that is but sounds cool

norian forest forest

cat um and let's do wearing a blue hat

yes

in a

forest of course and let's do fantasy

lighting F

fantasy lighting

um maybe like at dusk all right let's

see what happens here so we're going to

generate this and what's cool is I'm

saying this really confidently and let's

see what happens I think what's going to

happen is it's going to generate the

image for us and then place it inside of

the shape that would be awesome just as

you would Place anything in design um

I'm thinking that it will place it into

this

shape wow what a beautiful cat what a

beautiful cat wow oh my goodness oh my

wait hold on I love the little pom pom

hold on

yeah we're just going to that is so cute

yeah we're going

to oopsies no we're going to bring this

down here no no no no it's going to it's

going to be every everybody's going to

be okay everybody's going to be okay uh

I do think that this one is going to

have to be our cover it's the Calico

catalog oh it's the Calico catalog

that's fine look at how gorgeous look at

how gorgeous okay so we have this

gorgeous cat here the like gorgeous I'm

you know what I'm actually going to take

it out of that awesome shape that we

have I did want to show you that you can

generate into shapes um but what a what

an elegant so beautiful Regal gorgeous

cat wow I love the lighting that's

happening right now too coming from

behind like that that little ring light

there it's so pretty yes this is so

awesome okay so um maybe we want this

cat you know what I don't want to do

anything to this image this is gorgeous

perfect I think it's perfect it's

perfect perfect perfect okay so maybe we

want to do like a little pop out on the

side

and maybe what's like a detail that we'd

want to show about this cat I mean it

has the coolest hat I've ever seen a c

well let's maybe do some accessories

okay this is now becoming a catalog for

cats to shop like let's do it let's do

it like your cat could buy costumes okay

love it so what we can do is we can

actually create some shapes down here

and we're just going to create like a

few little blurbs and these are going to

be like little pop

outs and let's do three of them and that

way we can kind of show like hey here

are the options that you could have and

so we're going to do Norwegian Forest

cat uh so let's do can we change the

like is it about the hat or I think it's

I think it's about the hat so maybe

somebody had said purple because in

design brand colors okay um wearing a

purple hat and let's do um

uh uh maybe green sunglasses yes in the

city okay this is a city cat Raphael

says so you select the shape and after

that use text to image and that scales

perfectly in the shape yep yeah it will

do basically fill the entire um shape

that you've created it will fill it with

that image yeah oh oh my gosh wow yes oh

my gosh hilarious okay this

is okay this is my favorite thing that's

ever happened all right I am add a

stroke on here just to add some uh a

little bit of differentiation to the

background the Hat way it says all right

so here we go we have the same kind of

cat but like in different I think that's

it that maybe like the cats same cat but

in different scenarios different outfits

yes okay yes so I'm just going to copy

these over cuz I have the stroke on

there that I want now perect um and we

are going to do we need another look

what other look can we do here um what

if it's wearing like

what if it has a top hat okay I love

that with a monocle a top hat okay and a

bow tie okay and let's say mon monacle

is that how you say it

Mon and a bow tie and this one is going

to be uh at night okay yeah in a bar all

right so

we're uh and we can just keep generating

with these uh and what's cool is as you

can see we have all of our generation

right here so anytime

you it's going to be there so you can

use those images to pull it back in oh

my

gosh okay this little guy W he so

refined no monacle but that's okay yes

we forget we forgive it these are

different ways to style your cat like if

you have a Norwegian Forest cat these

are the ways to style I feel like all of

these fit the Norwegian Forest cat

because it feels so Majestic what if

there is like a Majesty like a king like

a prince yes yes Prince cape in a crown

yes

modern

cool uh and let's do gold and silver oh

okay for the next one Chris said an

astronaut helmet oh okay yes maybe for

for a different cat yep uh maybe that is

a what kind of cat would go to space I

feel

like a little black and white cat

or I don't know an orange orange cat

wow okay wow well this is how you style

this cat and what's cool is again we

used Adobe uh in design and it's using

Adobe Firefly technology to generate

these images directly in in design we

don't have to go anywhere and now we're

creating this catalog using these images

really cool aw um someone was asking

about the resolution of the generated

images oh great question uh I believe

that it is I actually don't know I think

it's 1,1 ,000 is the maximum size that

you can generate um but I'm not fully

confident in that okay someone said a

sphinx cat like the hairless yes yes

that's what I would like to see okay so

let's go ahead and add another page here

and maybe we want a little bit of a

different layout for this one um maybe

we want to do like um like a more of a

grid okay so let's do let's do this

let's create four Images

here we're just going to create four

squares where's the center there we

go two beautiful three and one more four

and these are going to be for our um

next version of a cat which will be a

hairless

Egyptian Sphinx cat SP p h y NX Chris

said SP i n

x yes yeah yep

um in

space um the astronaut helmet yes Mo

stars and the

Moon in an

astronaut suit love it an is also asking

if we can legally use the generated

images so um all the generations that

are happening with Adobe Firefly are

trained on Adobe stock and so Adobe

Firefly is trained to be safe for

commercial use is awesome oh my that

[Applause]

is I love him this one's glorious hold

on let's do this I think that he needs

to be he needs to be the star

yes the star he's so cute oh my goodness

these are like such beautiful images yes

this is a gorgeous

image and look at the detail that we're

getting here is crazy that is crazy wow

oh my look at the whiskers little

whiskers that's pretty crazy wow wowow

so we're doing this again directly in in

design so as you lay things out if you

need to add in uh text you can do that

here in in design very easily so I do

want to maybe add in some text behind

his ears um and so what I'm going to do

is I'm going to take this into Photoshop

to get a little bit more precise with it

so let's go ahead and I am just going to

save this photo the professor of rocket

science yes that's what who said that

clever fantastic fantastic oh Raphael

says that the resolution is 2000 by 2000

according to help at Adobe oh yes then

it's then it's that then that is it all

right so I want to export this uh

because it is just gorgeous so this is

going to be export we're going to go um

number three and is going to be

spacecat and we want to just do uh let's

do it pretty large so we can play around

in Photoshop with

it and range let's do three

nope just three thank

you export and then from there we're

going to take that into

Photoshop um where did I save

spacecat oh Andrew can you show um where

to find the text image box in in design

one more time yes so whenever you make a

shape uh you can just go in and go to

window and then you can go to text to

image beta right here so text image beta

new today in Adobe ill or adobe in

design so love this cat love what's

happening here maybe you want a

different background so let's try this

yes another new feature we forgot to

mention another new feature um what I'm

going to do is I'm going to remove the

background here by just clicking on

remove background and it should do a

pretty good job at removing the

background of our friend yes amazing yes

uh I think it's going to lose some

whiskers which is unfortunate cuz it is

pretty specific on the whiskers yeah um

but that's okay we can play around with

it uh because what we can do is we can

generate a background and so maybe this

one we want to be um

galaxies in space like seeing the moon

was cool but I want more galaxies yeah

so we're going to do that and we can

actually just generate a background and

it's going to make it a lot easier for

us to kind of push things through

all right so we're going to do that and

then I think that I am going to oh yeah

oh I love this the col it did a really

good job with the whiskers oh the

colors wa okay so I like this one a lot

yes uh and then let's go ahead and I

want to kind of add in some other um I

want to add in some

more of these like of these faces oh and

so what I'm going to do uh is I am going

to this is not going to go well uh what

I'm going to do is I am going to use the

object selection tool to select him and

then we are going to just paste into a

new document and I'm going to use this

as a reference to generate some new

things I want like that um I want that

kind of look of like he's looking off

and there's like faded versions in the

background yeah so we're just going to

save that um and then no and then I'm

going to start kind of making selections

and this is not going to work but it

might it might uh I'm going to make some

selections just in the back here and

let's see what we can have oh and also I

don't think we talked about this today

yet selection brush tool have you used a

selection brush tool no we did not talk

about that yet so selection brush tool

is really really great and it's

basically you can make a selection like

you do in uh uh Firefly or even an

Express is I can basically just grab a

piece and draw over and now it makes a

section y wow so we can do um

hairless

Egyptian Spinx cat head and we are going

to add in the reference of our cat face

and see what happens here let's generate

I want to do a couple of them and it is

on its own layer so I'll be able to take

the opacity down and like mask it out a

little bit uh but let's see what happens

and see if we can create this really

cool image

I've always wanted one of these cats

I've always wanted one of these cats

with heterochromia oh it's not going to

pull it it's not going to do it dang it

okay that's fine that's fine which one

do we like better chat space boy or

Galaxy

man I like space I like I think I like

the moon this is a great image yeah okay

so let's do this one um I think he looks

great all right so let's use this one

what I'm going to do is I am going to

bring it into Photoshop which I have

already done because it is literally

here um I'm not going to save this but I

am going to open up our space cat and I

want to put some stuff uh behind his

ears okay so what I'm going to do is I

am going to just make a selection of

him and then actually hold on I'm going

to do I want to see if I can get give

him heterochromia do it so heterochromia

is when your cats have um eyes that are

two different colors it's very common in

divis sphinxes and one of them is orange

and one of them is um blue so let's see

a dog with two colored eyes growing up

really brown one brown and one blue I

think it's like the most beautiful thing

he was so he was a great that's my dream

cat but they're super expensive um oh

I'm sure yes all right let's see what

happens if I can just replace this

eye yeah that is pretty good wow it's

pretty good so I do like the orange

of this one that one's too weird

actually I like this one so I'm going to

go ahead and generate similar which is a

new tool that we have here uh is that we

can generate similar versions of that

generation that we have and let's see if

we can get a little bit closer to what

we're looking for um and I do want to

talk about the detail that's happening

um that is it is crazy it's pretty crazy

so I'm going to zoom in here and look at

how detailed that is and if I wanted

more detail it's too small to enhance

that's fine um if I want more Det I

could put it there uh do I like the

original eye better I like the original

eye better I think you know what we can

do oh we can show off another new tool

an adjustment brush yes whoever is

tuning in right now is like what is

going on theen exaggeration yes easy

easy easy so we have a new tool that is

available today in Photoshop and that is

the adjustment brush tool and this is

just the adjustment layers that you know

and love but now you can brush them in

very seamlessly so we're going to do a

hue and saturation and then just click

and you can see that it's starting to

paint that in but I can use my

adjustment to make that adjustment to

where I want it to go to that nice

orange but it's keeping that original

eye shape yes is great so let's keep

that there maybe a little bit more

saturation and then we can kind of just

paint in and this is why I love this

brush is we can kind of just paint in

what we want to see on that eye and so

using the human saturation we can keep

changing the Hue and saturation until we

get exactly what we want and I do want a

little bit more of like

a I want that orange which I think is

closer to

here I think that that's going to be

close and you'll see that I actually am

not getting like I don't want what's up

here and so I can actually just reverse

my brush and go to the black and it's

going to mask that back out for me and

so I can make it very very uh loose and

just get rid of all this blue or the

pieces that I don't like or I don't

think are working I can just paint right

over

it get a nice kind of effect there

wow pretty cool I love

that that's awesome that's pretty cool

that is really good uh so I do want to

maybe brighten up this eye a little bit

as well looks a little bit dark so I can

use another version of the uh brush and

just go to a let's do brightness and

contrast here and we can just brighten

this up and we're going to increase the

brightness and let's see if we can brush

that in a little bit that's a little bit

too

bright all right so let's bring contrast

down brightness not too much there we

go and as you're adjusting the sliders

it's adjusting what you've already

brushed right yes y so you can see there

that all of the different adjustments

are happening within that

brush so using the adjustment brush you

can

see the before and after amazing

heterochromia I love it I love it so

gorgeous um okay so we have Space Cat

are there anything that we want to

change on Space Cat that we don't

like I mean I really like I like it L I

like it a lot does it need

no I could get rid of these elements

here sure so let's do this let's go

ahead and just I'll make some selections

over these uh and it will make it so

that we can just remove these very

easily and

[Music]

cleanly cleanly

meh all right we Andrew we're going to

generate a fill and just generate with

nothing in

there this is one of the this is one of

the better images that I've gotten out

and got directly in design which I think

is

crazy all right and the whole reason we

came to photoshop is to add in the text

that we want across the top here uh and

actually what I'm going to

do um let's do this let's do this so I'm

going to I'm going to do this two days

uh I want to have the text in in design

so we're going to do Space Cat uh two

sure why not and then what I'm going to

do is I'm going to select our friend

here

and I'm actually going to make a uh

merging of everything command control

shift e is the hotkey for that uh and

then we are going to grab just the uh

area of his head and I'm going to mask

that we're going to turn off all these

and now I'm going to have a very clean

uh version of his head so we're going to

go here K says you could have put little

mice on his um like on his little outfit

like instead of those little stars

pretty C that's pretty cute maybe we'll

incorporate mice in a future yeah and

the next cat uh all right so Space Cat

ISO and that is basically just going to

give me a PNG of this so here's what I'm

going to do in in design is I'm going to

replace this image that we created here

with our friend Space Cat and let's see

we have uh Space Cat

2 we got to get the hroch chromia love

it gorgeous and then I also going to

make a copy of this and then edit and

paste in place paste cats too sounds

like a great film yes uh and then I'm

going to place in that ISO and the

reason that I'm doing this is I did an

isolation as a PNG G of his uh head and

you can see there that it has a color in

the background but if I turn off the

color of this shape we actually be able

to see that um I'm just going to use the

hotkey that it is seamless right yes but

it is actually two different versions so

you can just put the text so now I can

put the text in between between the

layers yep so what is a good space cat

pun that we could use here someone said

professor of rocket science um earlier I

don't know

space space cat I mean let's just do

space cat I love Space Cat all right so

we're going to do Space Cat here I'm

going to find the perfect font for us to

put that in we can filter so I'm going

to filter by ornamental um just cuz I'm

guessing that that is the zone that we

want oh yeah right here yes that is the

winner oh my gosh Space Cat and so we

can format this and let's go ahead and

make it white and what's cool is I will

be able to put this in between those

layers and now we have that really cool

like level with the Space

Cat okay and what I could do here

actually if you bring down the opacity

of the first cat the onep would that be

weird yeah uh it would probably be weird

but let's see what happens um where is

my opacity there we

go I'm not mad about it then you can

read it a little better but either I

mean it looks cool both ways what we

could do as well is I could like grab

this uh which is the bounding box and I

could just pull it down here so we could

create like some Dimension I like that

that's fun that's very fun and because

it's the same uh I like that I'm about

it so fun so because it's the same image

you're able to kind of create this

really cool uh look and I might want to

do something a little bit different with

this type just so it's more readable

because it's already a little bit let's

see if we can find

something oh that's one of my fonts

um you can't go wrong with

hobo why don't I have any ooh

no this is zipline no that's no I let's

go with something that's just like super

meaty uh and like bold and see what we

can get there sure adrion condensed

looks good to me space cat let's go

ahead and make it

larger I am not mad about it especially

cuz the a like kind of makes sense there

space cat all right that's gorgeous that

these two are really really good those

are pretty impressive all right we we

need to keep this going here what is our

next cat okay what if cuz the M like I

love the idea of incorporating a mouse

what if it's

like like a Mouse catcher or like a like

a patrol cat or something like that ooh

I love that and he's catching some mice

yes I don't know what that would look

like or like a detective or something I

have an idea yeah okay so let's do this

let's do a detective cat uh and then

we'll do some mice as like the

perpetrators and do like little like yes

okay so let's do um what kind of cat

would be

a an orange cat a a black and white um a

Siamese cat okay let's do that so

Siamese

cat um in a police

uniform um and let's say like um red

sirens in the

background and then like crime tape in

the

foreground on a like in a city street or

something yeah City street and we were

doing this all here in design which is

really cool so we're going to hit

generate here and it's going to generate

that for us let's see

yes and someone's saying is it just a

brush that will automatically make an

adjustment layer mask yeah that's

exactly what it is yeah just save some

time yep okay here we

go oh my goodness wow oh my gosh yes yes

yes yes yes

absolutely wow okay in love with this uh

and then let's go ahead and put in some

of the perpetrators which would be uh

the mice and I'm going to grab the

layout actually from this other page

here and let's Center this right there

cool that's

good all right what did our mice do what

what were their crimes um stole the

cheese O Okay

um chewed a hole in something okay am I

stealing

cheese uh and let's do black and white

Yes actually let's do c C uh Let's do

let's do

catone

catone all right let's see what happens

here a mouse stealing cheese with a

little sepia

tone matches your

eyes are some beautiful

eyes busted so cute okay love it uh what

else did we what else we have

um uh Mouse yeah or like chewing through

a wire chewing through a wire what else

electric

Sparks cpia

tone okay let's see what happens

here it's going to be it's we're

literally creating like a cat calendar

maybe it should be oh wow that Mouse is

getting electrocuted

that is intense okay okay wa he made he

made his

mistakes uh and then maybe let's um

let's have um what if it's two

mice oh yeah maybe maybe it's like uh

two

mice

boxing

um uh

with um mice around found

them uh cheering a mouse running from a

mouse trap that's good too

ooh Mouse running away from a mouse

trap let's see what

happens this is a fun this is a fun

little and also yes please don't chew on

the oops too late yep thank you

Wade oh he's like doing little hurle we

forgot oh

oops tone uh a

mouse

um in an adventure hat yes I'm thinking

like an Indiana Jones moment he's like

just jumping over the yes he's

going so all the while what we're trying

to show you here is that in design does

have text to image now and you can uh

put in your articles yes

love it oh my gosh his little hat little

hat so

cute oh my goodness that's so cool uh so

InDesign now has text to image and you

can create a catalog just like this one

uh let's go ahead and check

out what this looks like I'm I mean I'm

impressed it's pretty good it is so good

um let's see here where do I want to

spread to window

the Calico

catalog oh space cat's I love space cat

space cat's amazing I

love it's crazy that these are just

generated using Firefly so I know let's

go into Photoshop and let's try to

generate some more

cats uh what size a space cat I want to

make sure that we maintain our quality

and our size

here

um where are you space cat

uh 8 by8 at 300 Okay cool so let's

create a new one that is 8

by8 and let's see how crazy we can get

with one of these um what other types of

cats do we have um orange

um so we're going to go yeah I keep

saying the same ones I don't know that

many other generates image we're going

to start from scratch uh let's do like a

is there like a tiger like a stripey cat

ooh you know those ones that are like is

it a tabby is that what it is let's try

that so tabby

cat um on a water

slide in the

summer um with swim trunks yeah in a

bating

suit uh with fish jumping oh with little

uh yes slm goggles yes so so let's do

yeah wearing goggles for

sure oh a bangle cat oh yes that's what

we want Angora cat yes Bengal let's do

bangal b n g a l that's what they say

yes okay cool so Bengal cats and we want

to do a photo and you know what do we

need a reference image here it would

probably be good to have a reference

image I think it would be helpful let's

do this let's go ahead and head to Adobe

stock um and maybe actually let's just

use Firefly for this uh let's go in and

let's generate a bangal

cat with

stripes team Western production says I

can't wait to try these new features and

hi hello hello thank you for being here

we have a few minutes left so you guys

if you guys have any last minute

questions about any of the new features

or any suggestions drop them in the

chat Hermione

cat oh a retro swim cap oh cute ooh I

like a Bengal yes that's cool that is

fun okay so I'm going to download this

just as a reference and then we are

going to go back into Photoshop and

we'll go reference image and we will

grab that download that we just

created which is this cat we'll hit open

and now we are going to hit generate and

see what

happens so we're trying to get a cat on

a water slide with mice kind of around

it's wearing goggles and a swimsuit

there's a lot going on

okay okay oh a slide I actually really

like this that cat is great okay so I'm

going to click on this cat and I really

like this I am going to remove the

background here and so let's go ahead

and Ruiz this cuz I actually really like

this cat so we are going to uh remove

the

background and then we're going to

generate a new

background let's generate background and

we are going to do a water

SL bright

colors and see what happens

there let's generate a new maybe a

little bit at a time might have been a

lot for it to we had a lot going on

there and I do want to actually put that

prompt into um Adobe Firefly and see

what happens there yeah yeah oh okay

okay we're getting somewhere oh cute

oh

a little cat okay let's try in Firefly

and see what happens happens over here

um we may be able

to let see what happens all right Bengal

cat on a water

slide splashing with fish

jumping and let's do um wearing

[Music]

goggles and a

swimsuit splashing with fish jumping got

it all right photo got it

Styles I don't think we need one let's

try this let's just see what happens

Firefly is doing a great job with

generating cats it really is it loves

cats yes and Firefly is doing a great

job generating cats it is especially

Space

Cat my gosh look at

him I feel like that looks like a real

cat on the water SL like okay I like

this one and I can actually come up here

and go to generate similar which is what

I'm going to use and it's going to give

me more Generations that are similar to

that one um so let's see if we can come

up with something that's a little bit

closer uh to what we're looking for I

might want to add in bright colors oh

that's pretty good gosh that is so

cute okay I like this one a lot that one

is so cute I love his face okay so right

here we can go into generative fill um

and this is going to allow us to fill in

more pieces so now we're in Adobe

Firefly yes now we're in Adobe Firefly

we're all over the place chat um and

what I want to do here is I'm going to

put uh maybe

like I want another fish down here mhm

mhm so let's just do a

fish maybe a colorful tropical fish

colorful uh tropical fish tropical fish

can Firefly create social media

icons um let's try what do you want to

see an icon for uh for specific

companies no it's not going to generate

anything that has intellectual property

on it um but uh it could create icons

there are also a lot of great icons in

Adobe Express that you can play with

okay oh wow it put it in the water put

it in the water that looks that yeah

that's awesome okay and then let's maybe

put

um let's put what do we want up here I

feel like it needs to be out like Sunny

oh you're right a sky I agree right

because if it was a water slide that's

open that would be the sky okay so let's

download this and then we are going to

do the same trick where we remove the

back we have 3 minutes that's more than

enough time to remove a background

because all I need to do is click here

to remove the background it will remove

that background and then I'm going to

generate a new background and this is

going to be a water

slide um with blue sky and

water easy peasy click click

click done done done and yes Firefly is

doing have we uh named

the cats I don't think we didn't name

this one wow okay oh I like that yes I'm

not mad about this one that one's fun I

think this is cute it's so cute all

right so chat in in recap we have worked

in in design using text to image over

here in InDesign to create some uh

calico cat aogs uh and we created these

looks here with this uh what was this

called thean

noran Forest cat yes yeah and you can

see look at the Quality on these that is

I mean the detail is so good that's

crazy good uh and then we created the

one the only the legendary Space Cat my

favorite of the day for sure it really

is it's a great generation so good yeah

it turned out really really well and

what's cool is it actually saves as the

prompt so um when we look and see what

we saved for spacecat oh actually don't

think it did because we generated it

directly in okay it didn't in theory if

you did this in Firefly it would save

the prompt for you so you could see um

what it was and then over here we have a

patrol cat with all the mice that had

done crime mice little crime mice so

cool so thanks for joining us everybody

um we covered that today the Creative

Cloud desktop app is allowing you to

download the Photoshop beta that has

Firefly image model 3 as well as a whole

bunch of other pieces

uh of Firefly new today any advice for

our friends going out and playing around

in Photoshop definitely download it and

give it a try play around I feel like

once you start playing with it you'll

just I feel like you can't stop yes it's
