Hello.
My name is Thomas Zeiger, and I want to show you my new Adobe
Photoshop plugin called Social Media Toolkit.
The plugin allows you to optimize images for social media.
We have three main modules edit documents,
create new documents and export.
We have here an awesome image of the Monument Valley,
and we want to post it to social media.
So we are selecting edit documents and we click on next.
As the source, we choose current document it's also possible
to process all open document specific
files or a folder.
In the next step, we select the social networks
where we want to publish our image.
We want to post it on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Now we are choosing the target sizes for Facebook.
We want to post it in landscape format
for Instagram in square format
and for Twitter, we choose single image tweet
and we also want to set it as our header
photo
in the next
step, it's possible to set the resize options.
For now, we choose the auto crop option.
It will automatically crop and scale the image.
In the last step, we can choose
if we want to export the image or leave them open.
We choose to export them and we are setting the target folder
it's possible to export
as JPEG, PNG, WEBP and PSD.
There are also some additional options such as sharpen
or playing an action.
We are saving our settings as preset as we are using it later.
Again,
now we click on run and the plugin is exporting our images.
Here, we have our exported images
properly named and in the correct dimension.
Instead of exporting
and closing the images, we can open them as artboards
in one document for a better overview
and for further editing.
We can export them later with the export module.
With the manual crop option,
the plugin stops for each size with the loaded crop tool and the correct
aspect ratio, we can choose the crop manually
and confirm with enter.
The "fit and distort"
option allows the image to be set to the size by stretching or compressing
and with the "fit with bars" option the image will be fitted to the size
without changing the aspect ratio, the empty space
will be filled with colored bars or with content aware fill.
In the plugin settings.
It's possible to edit networks and sizes
we can edit predefined sizes
and add completely new networks
with custom sizes.
The plugin is available
in a free and a pro version in the Creative Cloud Marketplace.
Thank you!
