It's the kind of video that you might think it's a joke, *laughs*

PHOTOSHOP! You suck at it, I've seen you guys' work.

It's goddamn terrible, and it's time for you to learn. MY GOD! Before I did YouTube, I was very active on

"anime forums" (nothing wrong with anime xD)

That's right. I would get really interested in making these anime icons or aa-avatars

and signatures, and I didn't really know how to make them, I just saw other people having them. And I'm like "That's really cool!"

I wish I could do those cool anime avata-

*Pewds Cringes so hard the colour in the video dies ;3*

So, I picked up Photoshop (def not cracked) and uhhh...

photoshop. It's one of my favorite tools. I think it it- brought me so much in life.

I don't think I would be as big on YouTube as- if I didn't know how to use Photoshop

So here I am hoping to spark a little bit of interest in case you're interested in Photoshop by showing you how to make a

No joke. Okay. Look at this by the way. All of them are gone. This one

I was so proud of, The Miku one. I won a competition,

Because of that one you know how much time it took to animate those goddamn things

And when you don't know how to make a gif

Look, I got the second place in this competition, how about that?

First of all, you want to get the aspect ratio right... okay?

Put 300 (Resolution) if you're gonna print that bitch (you probably wont print a thumbnail xD)

See, so many of you, Plebs, have the wrong god damn aspect ratio.

Now, I know this is a lot to take in, my man

Don't you worry, this is what you want to look at.. o-kay?

If It doesn't look the same as me just calm down, take a deep breath

We're gonna go to "Window" and we're  gonna make sure we have

History, I am by no means a Photoshop expert. Okay. I'm just... we're we- gonna try and keep this nice and simple

What kind of thumbnail should we make? How about a...

Now, We need a good quality picture. Okay, all right. How about this? That's a good quality (picture), copy that bitch and

Paste it into the Photoshop. Okay. Now. We have our first layer, Wow, incredible.

First of all, we want to adjust the size hit CTRL+T

Now, we can move that bitch around okay... Hold down SHIFT to keep the aspect ratio

Hit one of the corners and drag that bitch if you don't hold SHIFT. You're gonna end up like this

Okay, what I what? I tell you about aspect ratio. Let's go. That's right. Don't... fck it up

is this too fast for you hotcakes? Try to keep up.

what we're going to do next is crop that mother flippa

That's right. There's many different ways to do this. This is the thing what Photoshop?

There's there's so many different ways to get through different things that you want to do a wel- I see a lot of people do this

They use the lasso tool, and they just drag a bunch of plebs a bunch of goddamn plebs look at that that looks terrible, okay

What you want to do is you want to use the goddamn pen tool, okay?

I know people are scared of the pen tool, but it's the best tool, and if you're good like me

And if you're a Photoshop God like me it works out pretty simple we're gonna start by putting down a dot

Look at that if you want to get rid of that. You gotta hit delete okay

You can't just dot and then start doing other things, okay?

That will fuck you up you once you've dotted you can't un-dot

Unless you hit delete of course the pen tool that sort of curves the lines for you, and it makes it smooth

It is a little weird once you start off, but basically we'll pick a point here that

Doesn't look good right, but if you hold down your mouse button and you can drag and look at that now

I've also already thought about where the next line is gonna be with this thing so if we hit here. It's gonna be nice and

By better pep easy it takes a little bit of practice. You really don't have to make it perfect

Just make sure here for example that you go inside of the hair rather than too much on the outside

If you do something you don't want you can always just go back in history. Is this just too much for you hotcakes?

So you can do it relatively quickly the thing that you got to make sure though is that you connect them at the end

So you get a little circle coming up from the pen tool Boop that means. It's ready to connect there you go

We have our thing what I usually just do is right-click

On the thing here hit make a selection you can add a feather, but that's for pussies

I rather do that later now we have selected his face, but how do we delete the background?

I'll just hit delete Felix. Nah fam. Look what you did get away from here controls Zed that bitch

We got to inverse the selection by hitting ctrl shift. I done now you can hit delete

Isn't that right you're wrong only plebs. Delete directly

And if you do the mask button you didn't even have to inverse you can just hit it BAM

Bam's should say I'm on a lamb look at that now we have the mask selected there look

huh now we have the picture selected mask selected picture selected mask selected picture selected if I select the mask I

Can paint and shit all over and look at this I can paint back all over

Wow you don't need to know any of this actually nevermind now

We have a jacksepticeye look at him look at him go very happy very pleased with this crop

Hey beauty, what's the next step finding a nice looking background? What should we go for something?

Psychedelic perhaps, oh wow this is really trippy. This looks skin copy that shit paste it now. We have it on a new layer

Oh my god, two layers. I know this is pretty hardcore stuff. What did we learn mmm-hmm? What do we learn?

How do we just decide that's right ctrl T. That's right? That's right, and what else did we learn that's right?

Never fuck up the aspect ratio hold on hold down shift and drag it

Border full, but I can't see Jack. I no calm down

It has this sort of vortex sitting in the middle right so we kind of want it to be there

But oh no, we have all this space here to the left. What possibly could we do

Hit ctrl J. Which makes a copy of your selection in a new layer hit ctrl T and

Just drag it over. No one will know anything

It will be our little secret now. We have two layers doing the same thing we want to merge them

Click on one hold down ctrl click onto the other right click merge layers BAM
