All right, welcome back.
So in this video, we're talking about the Pantone extension.
So let's go to window, going to find extensions on exchange.
Pop that open and I'll bring it over here.
There we go.
And then let's scroll down and we're going to do Pando an extension for it will be critical.
Now, one thing I want to point out.
Whenever you're looking at extensions, make sure you check the version of the software.
Make sure that it's a 20, 19 version or 20, 20 version so that your software is compatible with it.
Because I had an issue with one of the extensions I was trying to add on this course.
It didn't work because I didn't check the version.
I didn't think so because I wouldn't I didn't think that they would put something on there that it wouldn't
work.
However, I learned my lesson.
So to check that the check your version, you got to help.
And about Photoshop and you can see right here, 20 dot, zero dot, seven release.
So this is the 2019 version.
And you'll know that because if you go into creative cloud, OK.
It wants me to upgrade at twenty twenty.
Right now I'm not doing it yet, but I will be doing it soon.
But if I go into photography and we go to Photoshop and we have the version that I have opened, this
is the 20 20, this is twenty eighteen version of it.
If I had open.
For some reason, doesn't say that there must be a max.
All right.
No problem.
I'm using windows for this course, but on my Mac version, when I open it, it tells me that's twenty.
So that's fine.
In this example, I'm using twenty.
Nineteen.
But you want to make sure that the extension works for 20, 19 or 20, 20, depending on which version
you have, because Adobe is going to push you to download 20, 20 if you're staying on Creative Cloud
because they upgrade every year.
So this is around the time where they do that.
They upgrade it right before the new year.
That way they can launch their new stuff and all that.
So this is the Pantone extension.
So what we're going to do is we're going to click on free and we accept and continue the terms and conditions,
the end user agreement.
And we're gonna go to you my exchange and we're going to install.
So it's installed and there.
So it popped up on Creative Club and said, OK, it works.
So now we're going to open up Photoshop.
And what I want to do is we're going to go into window extensions.
And there it is.
OK.
So what I want to do is let's minimize this just for a second.
Let's open up the extension we used before, which was remove background extension BSD.
And now you can see they have.
A couple of things here.
I'm going to kind of make for bigger let's.
Let me close these.
So we have a little more room.
They're real close, this one and that one, just so we have the full length, they're going to close
this one as well.
The group, Global Tabb Group.
And then just leave layer's open.
That's one.
So you can see here.
We have a 30 day trial of this.
So you can pick.
You can convert pallets, homo harmonies, extract, measure, effect you some feedback.
OK.
So that's a little menu that they have here.
We can activate.
So you need to sign in on their create an account and then really get into it.
Now, I'm not going to do all that.
I'm just going to show you the Pantone colors that they have here.
So you can look through all the different colors and kind of.
You can add to the Swatch, so you'll see it right here.
And then we can add that to the kitty.
This is really just a color wheel to give you.
We're here.
OK.
So it's timesaving color, workflow extension with all Pantone colors, palette creation and collaboration.
Easy conversion from RGV hexing Y k to Pando.
OK, so you can really grab a color here and then it will convert it for you.
And you see the different examples here, how they can grab that image and really.
So I can go here and I can hit the eyedropper.
OK?
And we can drop that color.
So let's drop a caller there.
And this one, too.
Right.
So what this does and I really like this because when I'm coming up with new ideas for different stuff
that I'm doing from our tech floss, I can go in here and I can select different colors.
And let's say that I like this Pantalone and this Pentel here and this Pantone right there.
Then I can compare them right next to each other and see which one I want to use, you know?
So we can say that create a new palette, etc..
So let's create a new power.
There you go.
And we should be able to.
Let's look at the.
They got to see him like that.
See?
Stark color ink and coated paper, graphic design.
They should have.
Fashion home interiors.
Very cool.
So like this one.
If you want to RGV code, it's right there.
If you want the hex, if you want the lab, we can open up full screen and then you can see what it
looks like because I really like blues.
So the fact that I can do that, I can open this up and compare it to what I'm working on and see if
that's the color that I want to use.
This is fantastic.
So I could literally do this for another two hours.
What am I going to do that?
So I just want to show you that.
Let's go through a couple more here to see and kind of get an idea.
Other Pantone systems.
So this is CNY Kay.
So let's say that you wanted that same blue color for this.
You know, you could here's all the different colors.
So you have Hack's CNY, K, RGV, and it's all the same tone.
So that way if you're doing RGV, which is this one, and then you're doing one that's seem like and
then you have it, you know.
So like this example, let's add this to the color bar called the bar.
And then that's color swatch.
And now what we got is this is the background for the Kiddi, right?
And then you can add this one to the bar, so we looking at a swatch.
And then we can do a little lighter color so that if I hit X, then I do that.
Now I can see which one I like better.
You know, I can work with those two colors.
And then we can go from there and we can really look at this.
We'll see where the best contrast is, because like, for example, this red, I'm with my logo and
all the graphics I'm doing, I'm doing like a navy blue and then I'm doing a light blue for good contrast.
And then a dark grey.
So if I want to look for a dark grey.
That's actually not bad.
I can add that to the caller and then I can add this to the Swatch and then one that's going to do is
it's going to give me that great color.
And then if I want to see what the blue looks like, I'm Gravell and Blue here.
Let's grab that one.
I can edit the Swatch and then use it there.
And I can see the contrast.
OK.
So it's quite a bit.
But that's really what this is all about.
It's really about finding the colors that you need for your project.
So I want to save this and we're not going to make a separate file for this one, because really it's
just your fill in the colors.
So I just wanted to show you that because this is a great way to when you're starting on a project,
if you need to fight to figure out colors that you want to use, this really opens the door for a lot
of things because it has everything you need right here.
You don't have to go very far.
You're not to figure it out.
You don't have to, you know, go get examples elsewhere.
You can just do it all right here.
And on top of that, you can expand this out so that you have just about the full Monty here on the
screen, which I recommend doing.
OK.
I broke Photoshop.
No, I didn't.
I'm just kidding.
What it does is it will give you the I would almost use the whole cameras for this and then closed on
everything else just so that you have the most area to work.
Even the layers right now.
That way you have you know, you still have a view of the canvas.
Rarely do they ever go.
Your view of the cameras, but you can still go through all the colors and figure out which one you
want to use for your project.
So it's it's a lot of fun.
I love colors, so because I could talk about this for a long time, but I'm going to cut it now and
I'll see in the next video.
Thanks for watching.
