00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,610
All right, so quick, Cannava tutorial for those of you that decide to go to Canberra now here on Kambah,

2
00:00:05,610 --> 00:00:06,540
it's one hundred percent free.

3
00:00:06,540 --> 00:00:10,640
If you don't want to grab Photoshop and Lightroom, I would recommend that you do, though.

4
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:15,090
Now, if you're on camera, what you can do is you can create design or you can simply go to one of

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,340
the designs that they have pre templates down here.

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,520
So like YouTube channel are obviously the Instagram posts.

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,050
And if you scroll over enough, there's going to be a YouTube one somewhere or YouTube thumbnail right

8
00:00:25,050 --> 00:00:25,290
there.

9
00:00:25,530 --> 00:00:30,030
Or you can simply create a design if you want to add your own custom dimensions in and then obviously

10
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:31,490
type the pixel ratio in there.

11
00:00:31,620 --> 00:00:38,160
So let's say, for example, that you wanted like obviously like a 19, 20 by 10, 80 is your generic

12
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:43,350
thumbnail that fits most places and most sites, like, for example, if you had to do like, I don't

13
00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:46,560
know, Najai story one or something, that's like a little bit more different.

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,880
You want to get the pixel ratio for that and then obviously type it in and create your new design.

15
00:00:50,910 --> 00:00:54,210
I already showed you how to do that and Lightroom and resize, but that's how you're going to do it

16
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:59,550
with canvas and then you're going to create your new design and same thing.

17
00:00:59,550 --> 00:00:59,780
Right.

18
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:05,520
So if we go up to uploads, they already have pre selected thumbnails or photos in here and elements,

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,370
some text and some stuff that you can add for background.

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,090
Now you can obviously add a background layer here if you want.

21
00:01:11,340 --> 00:01:18,650
You can also fill it with a background color or you can add a picture just like I showed you with Lightroom.

22
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:21,870
OK, so we already have that picture from our downloads that I showed you before.

23
00:01:22,050 --> 00:01:24,330
So we're going to upload an image into our photo.

24
00:01:24,330 --> 00:01:28,760
And keep in mind through that now, because we created this custom dimensions for 19, 20 by 10, 80,

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:35,420
we have the actual thumbnail already size that we can just drag out to our pixel ratio.

26
00:01:35,430 --> 00:01:40,380
So if we go to downloads really fast, here's the original photo that we grabbed and here's the one

27
00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:42,240
that we updated in Lightroom.

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,880
So we want to grab the original ones so I can show you how this looks.

29
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:52,470
OK, and then once it finally uploads, I'm going to select it and drag it in here and then resize it

30
00:01:52,470 --> 00:01:53,650
a little bit and drag it out.

31
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:58,170
Now, one of the things that I don't like about Cannava, which is another reason I select or I suggest

32
00:01:58,170 --> 00:02:04,260
using Lightroom in Photoshop, is when you drag it sometimes because this is a free software, it distorts

33
00:02:04,260 --> 00:02:05,690
the image quality a little bit.

34
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:08,280
So when I drag this out every once in a while, it does.

35
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,320
That doesn't do it every time in my experience.

36
00:02:10,530 --> 00:02:16,080
And I don't use camera that much, but every once in a while it does distort the image quality that

37
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,530
you're going to see.

38
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,280
So there we go.

39
00:02:17,310 --> 00:02:18,450
Same thing roughly.

40
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:23,220
If we double click it and drag it over a little bit, because that looks like that's where the focus

41
00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:24,090
is on that picture.

42
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:25,300
And we hit OK.

43
00:02:25,650 --> 00:02:26,350
There we go.

44
00:02:26,350 --> 00:02:29,940
So now we have a 19 20 by PINETTI, same rough background image.

45
00:02:29,940 --> 00:02:35,220
But we need to bring in OK, so if we select the picture now and you click on the actual image and you

46
00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:38,950
come up here to adjust, then you can obviously drag the contrast.

47
00:02:38,970 --> 00:02:40,230
Same thing as Lightroom.

48
00:02:40,230 --> 00:02:42,630
It's not going to be as good, but it still will do its job.

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,970
And remember, this is free.

50
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:49,950
You can also track that, adjust the saturation a little bit as well, and you can also tennet or increase

51
00:02:49,950 --> 00:02:54,900
or decrease the brightness as you see fit, obviously, depending on whether it's a bright or dark photo.

52
00:02:55,410 --> 00:02:56,700
You can also play around with the other ones.

53
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:00,380
But the only ones that I've ever really used, I touched with a little bit, although I don't really

54
00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:01,410
recommend that you do that.

55
00:03:01,590 --> 00:03:03,480
It can look good on some pictures.

56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,260
But like I said, use it sparingly or it's going to look too cartoonish.

57
00:03:07,590 --> 00:03:10,410
Really, all you really need to know is brightness is there if you need it.

58
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,530
Contrast and saturation, just like in Lightroom.

59
00:03:13,530 --> 00:03:17,310
Although one of the things that isn't in Lightroom is the actual you.

60
00:03:17,580 --> 00:03:18,990
You're not going to have the vibrance option.

61
00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:25,620
OK, so let's say that we want to just adjust the contrast a little bit, probably a little too much,

62
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:27,390
and maybe the saturation just slightly.

63
00:03:27,630 --> 00:03:31,560
And then we're going to enter and that should drag that.

64
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,510
Now, same thing here with the text.

65
00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:38,910
You can add some text and there have some pre text designs pre kind of loaded in here and also create

66
00:03:38,910 --> 00:03:42,360
text and then adjust the font up here and the sizing.

67
00:03:43,050 --> 00:03:46,200
So if we want to do like, for example,

68
00:03:49,170 --> 00:03:51,840
travel biography.

69
00:03:53,810 --> 00:03:56,870
And then made simple.

70
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,600
And then we drag that up.

71
00:04:01,330 --> 00:04:06,190
And we can also adjust the like I said, you can you can switch the font here, some of them are paid

72
00:04:06,190 --> 00:04:07,960
fonts, but there's a lot of free ones as well.

73
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,550
You can adjust the color of that.

74
00:04:09,550 --> 00:04:10,920
You can also adjust the sizing.

75
00:04:10,930 --> 00:04:15,610
You can bring it to life with an actual if you go over the elements again, you can bring it to life

76
00:04:15,970 --> 00:04:17,870
with a rectangle in the background.

77
00:04:18,010 --> 00:04:23,590
It's not going to look the same as obviously a Photoshop one will, but it's just something that you

78
00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:24,970
can keep in mind.

79
00:04:24,970 --> 00:04:30,340
And then if you needed to position this, you could a position and then backward and then do it like

80
00:04:30,340 --> 00:04:30,580
that.

81
00:04:30,580 --> 00:04:30,760
Right.

82
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:32,740
So like I said, this is not ideal.

83
00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:37,680
But if you're looking for something free, this technique can obviously help you with that.

84
00:04:37,690 --> 00:04:41,500
So I'm going to explore this and I'm just going to add this up here.

85
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:45,340
And then obviously, if I wanted to, I could bring my own picture in as well.

86
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:47,980
Just kind of give you some reference.

87
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,480
Good, important pictures.

88
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,320
Cutouts me.

89
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,240
Let's add the suit on here.

90
00:04:53,340 --> 00:04:58,890
And so this is something that you can use if you elect to go this route like I'd recommend, you can't

91
00:04:58,890 --> 00:05:01,940
obviously add like a shadow, you can't add the same effects.

92
00:05:01,950 --> 00:05:06,180
It's not going to look the same, but it is a good free option for those of you that want to go this

93
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:08,310
route right out of the gate.
