All right.
Welcome back.
So in this video, I want to talk about the letter preset.
So let's head over to Photoshop if you're not over there and click on Create New and then you're going
to get this little new document window popped up here.
And so if I click on the letter, it in half by eleven at 300 PBI K lets it create.
So what that's going to do is a couple of things.
So this is the whole back to file will click and go to new.
And I want to show you one more thing here.
So if you click on a letter, you can do orientation.
So you can do.
If it tells me what the landscape this is landscape right here and then portrait here, you can also
add our ports.
So if you wanted to add multiple pages to this, you could.
So let's say you're right and something out and you want to add to this, then what you can do is if
you.
Right.
Click on the move tool and go to our board, then what I can do is I can select this.
And then just click on a plus and then I can add more pages to this document.
Now, I don't want to do that for this example, but I just want to show you how to do that.
Someone closes out.
Now, we're gonna go back to this.
So this is a portrait version of a letter.
So letter basically is used to write out a formal letter, you know, and this is the standard size
and this is an pixels, but normally it's in inches.
OK.
Because pixels is really four monitors.
Inches is for print.
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,
just so you know that it's in inches.
And then you would do everything by inches and sort of by, you know, pixels.
So that's really the letter preset.
Now, I'll find a good example here.
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
see how it is used.
Let's see here.
Let's do like a simple of, um, poster.
OK.
Someone I had download.
There we go.
I'm going to let that download.
And it shouldn't take too long.
In fact, what I'm to do is I'm going to pause the video and I'll see you when it's done.
All right.
Welcome back.
Now I realize something.
This is actually the eleven by seventeen inch tabloid layout, so we're not going to use that one.
So I'm gonna try to find one.
That's the resolution that we're looking for, which is eight and a half by eleven.
OK, so let's see if we can find one that's just for that.
OK.
Here we go.
U.S. Letter K.
So what I'm gonna do is let's download this one.
OK, let's try this one.
That's too big.
Let's type in letter and then go.
And what that's going to do is take it to the Web site.
OK.
So here we go.
Let's grab a free one.
Let me see if I can find any free ones here.
OK, here we go.
Let's grab that one.
When I click on License for Free and I'm going to open this in Photoshop.
And let's see.
OK.
So it's Darmanin.
And there we go.
I'll hit next.
Resolve the Funds'.
Close those.
But that's me.
Come on.
There we go.
OK, so now you can see this is eight and a half by eleven, and I'm just going to verify that by going
to image and we're going to get a canvas size and you can see it's eight point seven five bilum point
to five.
OK.
Were in the vicinity, OK?
Eight and a half by eleven.
Are, you know, close to it.
You can see here that they have.
So you can see here.
The instructions on there, which we don't really need, but this is a letter.
So this is a great example of how what you would be doing with this preset as you would write something
out like this with your logo and then write a letter here and then have the address down there.
Now, you can lay it out any way you want, but you can see how they have everything in the middle here,
because what you don't want to do is cut anything off.
So they have.
The bleed, the trim and the safe areas.
OK, so you can see here the bleed is red.
The trim area is the dot and then the safe zone is a green.
So anything inside a green.
You can put inside of there.
And that's kind of your reference guide when you're creating a letter document in Photoshop.
You want to use this that way when you print it.
It won't cut anything off.
So I'll give you an example.
If I had control p to print.
You can see here right now, it's going to show everything.
But when I go down, we can scale the media or we can leave it the way it is.
And what it's going to do is you can see these lines.
It's gonna cut all those off because that's where the bleed and the trim and the safe zone is.
So inside of the green line, it's OK outside of the green line.
You don't want to put anything there because it'll get cut off.
OK.
So that is the letter preset.
So thanks for watching.
I'll see in the next video.
