Welcome to this new section of the course.
This is a really quick one but I wanted to organize it as a new section because it's something completely
different and it's just a quick tutorial on how to use the library's feature in Photoshop.
So if you go up to a window and turn on the library's panel it will open up your Adobe library.
We briefly saw this way back earlier in the course but it's basically just a collection of colors styles
graphics that you use across all of your Adobe applications or if you're even just using Photoshop it's
nice to have it all in one area right here so you can see I have some specific colors that I use some
logos that I've installed character styles that I often used.
I need to update he's actually but basically the way you use it is say we are creating a shape you know
we just edited this portrait and we're creating a shape but we want it to be this color.
You just open your library click that color click whatever cut whatever color you want.
And now that color is in our Photoshop project we still have to do one thing to change the color of
the shape.
We just click the fill button but because it is a.
Is right here in our recently use we can quickly select that.
And now we create our shape.
Now if we want we can also once we have a shape created press the eye button and just click one of our
library colors.
So that's another quicker way to change the color of a layer to our library colors.
OK.
Now we also have these logos so hey I got my photo my videos go online line logo let's place our shape
let's add are logo to this.
All right.
It's going to say something about smart objects.
I don't care.
And here we go.
We are our video school online logo right here.
Easy to use.
So that's all great and good.
But how do we actually start this.
Well you can click this plus button right here and choose a new color.
So what you want to do actually first let's actually delete this.
And I want this to clog us up and you want to change your foreground color which is the color right
here in front of your a little color swatches.
So let's pick a new color.
Let's pick this nice orange.
And then if we click plus foreground color or you also have a full color now because it knows the color
of the shape that's selected.
But we're going to choose foreground color.
And now this color is there in our color palette.
Same day you can add content you can add graphics and you can add a graphic that you have created in
Photoshop.
So it's added this rectangle that I've created as a graphic or let me delete that because I don't want
it here or you can simply if you want to add a graphic that you have on your computer or an image on
your computer say we're gonna use this cloud picture all the time just simply drag it drop it into your
library and it's added as a graphic.
Pretty crazy right.
So now if you open up Adobe Premiere Pro you're gonna have all these graphics and assets in there for
you and it's all saved to the cloud as well.
So if you are using another computer and you are logged into your Adobe account it'll be there available
for you.
Cool huh.
You can organize by folders you can view it differently in a list or a thumbnail view and you could
also create multiple libraries.
So click this dropdown click plus new library.
You could create a new library for a different brand or maybe you have one library for photography one
for your video work all kinds of cool stuff there.
Cool.
So use the libraries.
It's something that I didn't use and I still don't use enough to be completely honest I should use this
all the time because it would save me a ton of time.
Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you in the next lesson.
