1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:00,330
All right.

2
00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:00,840
Welcome back.

3
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:03,730
So in this video, I want to talk about the letter preset.

4
00:00:03,810 --> 00:00:09,410
So let's head over to Photoshop if you're not over there and click on Create New and then you're going

5
00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:12,090
to get this little new document window popped up here.

6
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:20,490
And so if I click on the letter, it in half by eleven at 300 PBI K lets it create.

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,230
So what that's going to do is a couple of things.

8
00:00:25,410 --> 00:00:28,830
So this is the whole back to file will click and go to new.

9
00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:30,840
And I want to show you one more thing here.

10
00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:33,900
So if you click on a letter, you can do orientation.

11
00:00:33,930 --> 00:00:34,920
So you can do.

12
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:46,940
If it tells me what the landscape this is landscape right here and then portrait here, you can also

13
00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:48,160
add our ports.

14
00:00:48,290 --> 00:00:52,430
So if you wanted to add multiple pages to this, you could.

15
00:00:52,460 --> 00:01:00,530
So let's say you're right and something out and you want to add to this, then what you can do is if

16
00:01:00,530 --> 00:01:00,620
you.

17
00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:00,890
Right.

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:07,190
Click on the move tool and go to our board, then what I can do is I can select this.

19
00:01:08,330 --> 00:01:15,080
And then just click on a plus and then I can add more pages to this document.

20
00:01:15,110 --> 00:01:18,080
Now, I don't want to do that for this example, but I just want to show you how to do that.

21
00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:19,610
Someone closes out.

22
00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:21,700
Now, we're gonna go back to this.

23
00:01:21,730 --> 00:01:26,240
So this is a portrait version of a letter.

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:33,820
So letter basically is used to write out a formal letter, you know, and this is the standard size

25
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:37,220
and this is an pixels, but normally it's in inches.

26
00:01:38,010 --> 00:01:38,300
OK.

27
00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:41,180
Because pixels is really four monitors.

28
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:44,300
Inches is for print.

29
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:50,030
So if you were to if you were going to print this, you'd want to have it an eight and a half by eleven,

30
00:01:50,030 --> 00:01:51,650
just so you know that it's in inches.

31
00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:57,350
And then you would do everything by inches and sort of by, you know, pixels.

32
00:01:57,950 --> 00:02:02,330
So that's really the letter preset.

33
00:02:02,430 --> 00:02:04,800
Now, I'll find a good example here.

34
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:12,860
So I go to file new and we go to print and we're gonna grab one of these templates here just so we can

35
00:02:12,860 --> 00:02:14,120
see how it is used.

36
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,690
Let's see here.

37
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,700
Let's do like a simple of, um, poster.

38
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,010
OK.

39
00:02:20,090 --> 00:02:21,290
Someone I had download.

40
00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:24,910
There we go.

41
00:02:24,940 --> 00:02:25,990
I'm going to let that download.

42
00:02:29,290 --> 00:02:30,810
And it shouldn't take too long.

43
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,900
In fact, what I'm to do is I'm going to pause the video and I'll see you when it's done.

44
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:38,220
All right.

45
00:02:38,230 --> 00:02:38,700
Welcome back.

46
00:02:38,730 --> 00:02:39,810
Now I realize something.

47
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:46,470
This is actually the eleven by seventeen inch tabloid layout, so we're not going to use that one.

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,030
So I'm gonna try to find one.

49
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:52,940
That's the resolution that we're looking for, which is eight and a half by eleven.

50
00:02:53,770 --> 00:02:57,210
OK, so let's see if we can find one that's just for that.

51
00:02:59,100 --> 00:02:59,520
OK.

52
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:00,150
Here we go.

53
00:03:00,210 --> 00:03:02,700
U.S. Letter K.

54
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,280
So what I'm gonna do is let's download this one.

55
00:03:09,570 --> 00:03:13,760
OK, let's try this one.

56
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:15,210
That's too big.

57
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,820
Let's type in letter and then go.

58
00:03:23,020 --> 00:03:24,990
And what that's going to do is take it to the Web site.

59
00:03:25,050 --> 00:03:25,300
OK.

60
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:26,130
So here we go.

61
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:29,490
Let's grab a free one.

62
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,920
Let me see if I can find any free ones here.

63
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:33,870
OK, here we go.

64
00:03:34,410 --> 00:03:35,400
Let's grab that one.

65
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:43,540
When I click on License for Free and I'm going to open this in Photoshop.

66
00:03:47,070 --> 00:03:47,920
And let's see.

67
00:03:48,010 --> 00:03:48,220
OK.

68
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,270
So it's Darmanin.

69
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,830
And there we go.

70
00:03:52,050 --> 00:03:52,960
I'll hit next.

71
00:03:54,410 --> 00:03:55,450
Resolve the Funds'.

72
00:03:55,930 --> 00:03:56,980
Close those.

73
00:03:58,790 --> 00:03:59,690
But that's me.

74
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:00,370
Come on.

75
00:04:02,750 --> 00:04:03,190
There we go.

76
00:04:03,730 --> 00:04:09,000
OK, so now you can see this is eight and a half by eleven, and I'm just going to verify that by going

77
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,250
to image and we're going to get a canvas size and you can see it's eight point seven five bilum point

78
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:14,760
to five.

79
00:04:14,820 --> 00:04:15,130
OK.

80
00:04:15,810 --> 00:04:17,360
Were in the vicinity, OK?

81
00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:18,410
Eight and a half by eleven.

82
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:21,540
Are, you know, close to it.

83
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,700
You can see here that they have.

84
00:04:28,130 --> 00:04:29,480
So you can see here.

85
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,230
The instructions on there, which we don't really need, but this is a letter.

86
00:04:38,350 --> 00:04:45,130
So this is a great example of how what you would be doing with this preset as you would write something

87
00:04:45,130 --> 00:04:49,810
out like this with your logo and then write a letter here and then have the address down there.

88
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:55,090
Now, you can lay it out any way you want, but you can see how they have everything in the middle here,

89
00:04:55,390 --> 00:04:57,970
because what you don't want to do is cut anything off.

90
00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:59,380
So they have.

91
00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:05,810
The bleed, the trim and the safe areas.

92
00:05:05,870 --> 00:05:09,290
OK, so you can see here the bleed is red.

93
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,460
The trim area is the dot and then the safe zone is a green.

94
00:05:13,490 --> 00:05:15,260
So anything inside a green.

95
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,770
You can put inside of there.

96
00:05:17,780 --> 00:05:23,520
And that's kind of your reference guide when you're creating a letter document in Photoshop.

97
00:05:23,540 --> 00:05:25,550
You want to use this that way when you print it.

98
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:26,870
It won't cut anything off.

99
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,100
So I'll give you an example.

100
00:05:28,130 --> 00:05:29,720
If I had control p to print.

101
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,310
You can see here right now, it's going to show everything.

102
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:41,810
But when I go down, we can scale the media or we can leave it the way it is.

103
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:44,030
And what it's going to do is you can see these lines.

104
00:05:44,030 --> 00:05:51,740
It's gonna cut all those off because that's where the bleed and the trim and the safe zone is.

105
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,580
So inside of the green line, it's OK outside of the green line.

106
00:05:55,610 --> 00:05:57,710
You don't want to put anything there because it'll get cut off.

107
00:05:58,100 --> 00:05:58,350
OK.

108
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:02,270
So that is the letter preset.

109
00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:03,410
So thanks for watching.

110
00:06:03,530 --> 00:06:04,400
I'll see in the next video.
