Hey you and welcome! I'm Mr Berry and this whole video I want to talk about photopia now it
all came about because one of my subscribers had asked me hey Mr Berry which Photoshop like app
can I use on my Chromebook well there's the answer is actually I use about five different
Photoshop like apps but the one app that is most like Photoshop is photopia and so we're
going to show you where it is and some of the features they're in why I think it's most like
the Photoshop app that you can use right on your Chromebook so let's take a look at this app you
and I come on and here we are in my Chromebook now I'm already at the photo PA website and there'll
be a link to it down in the description now if you want to maximize this all you have
to do is press this key here on your Chromebooks keyboard and it'll maximize it like you see here
for those users who want Photoshop level features right on their Chromebooks photopia works very
well within the Chrome OS photopia is a web app where you get a similar layout to Adobe
Photoshop with countless Advanced features and editing tools baked right in and that's
not all because you can also continue editing photos of different file formats such as your
PSD AI XD sketch PDF xcf raw and then of course the very common jpeg bitmap GIF and many others
now for this video I'll be using the free version of photopia and that's why you see all the ads
over on the corner here now if you're using an ad blocker it will block some of these ads but
for the most part you actually do see the ads right on the right hand side so if you want
to see these ads go ahead and click on account and you notice that you have two versions here
I'm using the free version and this comes with all the features and you also have cloud storage
of a half a gigabyte for the premium Services there for five dollars you have now five gigs
of online storage no ads two times more steps in the history and you can have quick email support
okay to start off I'm going to show you how to actually import your images into the photopia
app you can use their baked in file browser here which is called open from computer you can also go
to file open or you can simply drag and drop your images right in the center I want to use that last
option because your Chromebook has the files app I'm going to click on the files app and here's
some of my images now I'm going to do is drag this image right to the box in the center it notice by
my hand you see the little green circle that means you can let go and it puts it right there for us
now once I'm here you'll notice that you have your different tools up here and over to the left
hand corner you also have more tools on the right hand side here just as if you're using Photoshop
so if I looked at some of these we have the file where I can actually work with the file
such as printed or share it or do other things with my file I can edit there's my undo which
is really important there's a step forward step back which again that's the undo and when you
go the pro version you have more steps that are saved that you can undo with there's the famous
cut copy and paste all there there's the fill stroken other tools that we're used to there
on the image you can change the mode to rgp or CMYK you have different adjustments there
Auto tone Auto contrast Auto color and many more there
uh here's the all-important layers and this allows you to actually do that all baked in in
here with the layers and next is Select we can actually select different areas on your image
next is filter and here we have many different types of filters available to us that's pretty
nice here's the view we can zoom in zoom out fit the area and all the others there you can turn on
or turn off the rulers or even the grid there on the Windows you notice here you can have different
tools which are appearing on the sides here so I only have some of the tools showing up for this
but you can have more so if I wanted to go to adjustments there's the adjustments window there
and it's pretty nice being able to pick and choose which tools or which windows
that you have up to work with and under the more you have the language the themes and if
you wanted to install the photopia app right onto your Chromebook there's the shortcut to
that and then some keyboard shortcuts which we'll actually look at right now
the same keyboard shortcuts that you're used to using in other apps work just fine within this
app such as control C for copy control V for paste and all that as you see there right here listed
and if I scroll down you see many more shortcuts for the various tools there
if you don't see a feature or a tool that you're used to using you can actually click right here
on the search box and find something so I'm going to find something to do with color and here's all
my tools that happen to work with different colors over on the left hand side you notice
that I have different tools such as my tool that allows me to actually move things around to select
and deselect I have the rectangular select tool I have the lasso I have the magic wand
the crop tool the eyedropper and the next is a spot healing brush tool we want to use
this right now a lot of people use these like if they have a freckle or some type of blemish on a
photo and they want to take it off watch this so I'm going to remove these Stars here there it is
and it looks very natural to the background you don't see it messing up anything it actually takes
out the blemish or in this case this star right from the background and it Blends it in naturally
there with the sky so this is a perfect tool to use if you want to remove freckles or some type of
a blemish on your photographs next is the brush tool the Clone tool eraser gradient tool blur
Dodge type text pin path select the rectangle and Toes Zoom quick mask and the virtual keys
now I'm going to show you how to do a lens flare which is very easy you just go up to filter down
to render and there's lens flare that brings it up and you can change the brightness on this lens
flare to match the brightness of these stars that you have and you can change the position
I'm going to put one right there
and click on OK there we go so I have one there but we have two sons in this alien sky
so I'm gonna go filter render lens flare but this time I'm going to make it a brighter object here
and then I'm going to move it right over this second star
and then just move this out and change it just a little bit
and click on OK so there we go so there's my new image
that has the two lens flare and that is pretty awesome
and now if you're happy with that image you can export it back to your Chromebook
is by going to file export as I'm going to do PNG
and then click on Save
and Save there we go
