All language subtitles for 9. Exporting Your Artwork

All right we are on the homestretch for this project.

It's time to send it off to our client for a proof or to send to the printer to get printed.

Either way we need to figure out how to get this design out of the box.

So let's go out and open up the other versions we made to right now we're still on version 3.

I'll open up finder and I'm going to go rename this just for consistency I've got Version 2 in version

3.

This first one we did though didn't have a version so it looks like it's the bottom of the stack so

I'll just add v one just to make sure my files are clean and open these up.

Hold on shift click all these in between.

Hit command o.

Open and it'll open.

All of those up here.

So we've got this version 3 we just wrapped up with we've got this original photo we started with I'm

going to close that real quick and then Version 1 which I think looks terrible.

And I only say that just so you don't think that I think it looks good.

Anyway let's look at Version 2 here.

Pretty much the same.

Look let's go ahead and export.

The only difference here we have this turntable and he stood at that tattoo on his neck.

Version 3 we did a texture and we removed the tattoo in his little spot on the shirt.

So here are the two ways I I would go about getting this out to send to a client.

First what I would do is make sure those same size command zero.

What that does goes to view and it makes it fit on screen.

And I would do that for all three of them just so they're all the same size.

And this is if I'm sending a screen if I'm sending a screen grab or a screenshot what that is on a Mac

at least I can hit command shift 4.

I don't know what the shortcut is currently for a PC.

I know you can hit the print screen button and it captures the whole thing but since I work on a Mac

and my workflow I'm showing you exactly how I work it command shift 4 and then I click and drag down

here.

Did you get a screen just the screen grab real quick.

Click on this guy do the same thing Commanche it for and use the spacebar to move my selection where

I want it up here to the corner and then let go the spacebar.

Come down here and get it close.

Let's go as soon as I let go.

It takes a picture of that file and those are right on my desktop so I've got the screen shot and this

screen shot right here.

I did the last one here.

Click on it command shuffle and you might be wondering well why.

Why not just export rather than Photoshop.

Honestly I could I could go to File Save As or export and we will do that here in a second.

But for me Commanche for a quick click and drag and let go and it's just faster.

It also is a low rez file.

So let's say I haven't been paid by my client yet.

Or let's just say I want to send him a text a lot of times I work with text messaging with my clients

.

I message and I'll drag and drop a quick look right to them.

Read a lot of clients.

You know they they travel or whatever and just to see how am I on track am I going the right direction

what do you think of this look and I'll just quickly grab this screen shot and I'll just drag and drop

right into my messages send him a text message and they can get right back to me or send in an e-mail

whatever.

One thing I would do though is I would rename the so this version with the textured background on a

Mac I can return to start renaming this or you know click and get that option to rename it.

So this will be you know poster B-3 come down here is the screenshot I'll return post or dash the one

in.

This last guy post or dash the two.

And that way if they refer back to me as a hey I really like version 2.

I know what they're talking about it just keeps everybody on the same page.

So the other bonus to this.

I'm on a retina display so this file is a little bit bigger it's one and a half megs.

You know typically when you do a screen shot it's going to be under one may get to be in this case 880

kilobytes.

So it's a really nice small file.

They can't print from this file which is nice if you don't want them to print if it's not been approved

yet.

You don't want them to try and print from it because it will look terrible but that way you can send

them a small file size.

All right.

And so I would take these three versions and I would drop it into email or text message and send it

my kind of hey what do you like.

Now let's pretend like they like you know version 3 and they want to print it the way that I would work

to get this to a printer.

Let's jump over to version 3.

So what we'll do it will come up to our image go to mode and we'll turn it into a C and Y K color document

.

We'll go ahead and flatten all the images.

And now what we need are blend modes that we had don't get messed up.

And the reason why we didn't start with CMI if we wanted to add different filter effects if you're in

C and my K Not all of the filter effects are available.

And so that's why I started in RGV.

Now what we're going to do now we've got it flattened and ready to go.

I'll go to File Save As and set a photoshop file which has all the layers and not everybody has Photoshop

.

I can send it out as a j peg or a photoshop PTF file.

That would be preferred.

I'll save it as a photoshop video file and I'll just click on this use proof set up.

That'll just help the colors look consistent no matter who prints it.

Click once in here and I'll save right here this preserve Photoshop editing capabilities.

I don't want them to be able to open it up and edit this right now.

Plus I to make the file much larger so I'll turn it off and then I'll go ahead and save PTF.

So once that's done saving the Photoshop working on it right now and it might be a little bit of a bigger

file I will jump over here and I can find that v3 PDA and you can see it 17 megabytes so is significantly

larger than our screen shot.

If I send this to press it will look fantastic it's a huge file.

One thing we did not talk about was a thing called bleeds and we'll get into that a little bit later

.

But just be aware we when we go to print this out of print shop there's a really good chance we have

a white border around it because of where the printer has to actually grab the paper so to avoid that

you would actually print on a larger piece of paper and then trim it back and again bleed or something

.

We'll talk about a little bit down the road but now you know how to create something in Photoshop and

export it in this case as a PDA.

Or you could have done a jpeg and then how to take quick screenshots to share with your clients
