Tip:
Highlight text to annotate it
X
make sure you have the Move Tool selected
Just rearranging the stacking order of the text
Select the top text layer and then holding down the Command(Mac) or Control(Win) key, click on the Background layer so we can align the text layer to the background.
Click on the Align centre icon in the Options Bar at the top of the interface
centered - Yeah !!
Select the other text layer and then holding down the Command(Mac) or Control(Win) key, click on the Background layer so we can align the text layer to the background.
Align again
repositioning the vertical position of the text using the up & down arrow keys
you have to have the Move Tool as your selected tool for this to work
Next we need to prep this for output purposes
Need to make a flattened Tiff file but this is already a multi-layered TIFF file - my mistake - so I will save this as a PSD file first
Saving as a PDF file
Saving as a flattened TIFF - this is my universal high res file format
nobody gets my multi-layered PDF files ...
TIFF is universal for high res as JPEG is universal for … everything else ….
saving the flattened TIFF now - Image Compression set to NONE - Pixel Order - leave alone --- Byte Order set to IBM PC
if you are on a PC
Go to the desktop folder to see the file size differences between PSD and TIFF
Messy desk top - just ignore please
Comparing Multi-Layered PSD file against the flattened TIFF file
The flattened TIFF is larger than the PSD file because I think Photoshop is doing some kind of comparession
Just showing the original images exported and reSized that we did at the very beginning
Double-click the TIFF file
close the PSD file
Save this again as a TIFF but this time using the LZW compression
change the name so you don’t over write the first one
Compare the two TIFF files
LZW is a LossLess file compression
JPEG is a Lossy compression
Back to Photoshop ...
Save as a JPEG for a photo lab - first Convert the Profile to sRGB and then Save As … JPEG
getting ready to create a web version -there are many ways - thes is just one
we are now viewing this at 25% and it is a good size for the web
Go to the Image Size dialog box and change the Percentage form 100 to 25
100% view of the web version
Save As a JPEG - quality of 12 again but add the word “web” to the name
Hide Photoshop and compare file sizes again
Blah blah blah ….
The End ….. Thankyou
