what's up guys Ryan here in this video I
wanted to follow up on a comment
somebody dropped me on one of my youtube
videos about checking out an app called
photo pia that's why you see a tombstone
with the Photoshop logo over my shoulder
even though I am using Photoshop to make
that image because I'll let you guys in
on a little secret even though I quit my
job a week and a half ago as of
recording this I still get Photoshop for
free through that job so while I don't
work there anymore I still have free
Photoshop and I love the word free I'll
use Photoshop for as long as it's free
but for those of you that don't want to
pay what is it 10 dollars a month I
think or you can get like the sweet 4 I
think 20 months but if you don't want to
pay that no need to anymore because
there's an app called photo pia that you
can get and it's a web browser-based
version of photoshop basically so that's
what you see right here it's photo PE
AECOM i'll put a link in the description
as usual and it's free I mean there's no
catch you don't have to sign up there is
like a paid version I I looked at the
benefits you really don't need it as far
as I'm concerned other than for like
backtracking tracking more of your moves
and being able to go backwards more but
anyways all you have to do this is lit I
literally just loaded the page up and
this is what you see initially I'm gonna
click PSD and actually no it's not
clickable sorry by the way I didn't do
too much prep for this video because I
wanted to show you from like an
authentic angle how easy this really is
to use like I've probably spent 5
minutes or less
playing around in here because I wanted
to show you how easily we can create
Amazon merge designs in this web based
version of Photoshop if you will and I
mean look at this look at the similarity
they did that is no coincidence they
definitely were aiming to look like a
clone of Photoshop but you know they did
what adobe couldn't and I don't want to
say couldn't but what adobe has not done
and that's make a web browser-based
version of the app so I'm just gonna
click new project up here in the top
left corner I'm gonna set the width to
4500 I'm gonna set the height to 50
400 then I'm gonna set the dpi to 300
which is the best practice for Amazon
merge designs and then I'm gonna click
create you'll notice though they had
presets for things like facebook covers
built in there and you could say that
this the biggest competition to this app
is probably canva although canva will
charge you to do things that this app
will let you do for free so I'm not
gonna get into a full breakdown because
I want to keep this video kind of short
but over here on the toolbar it's very
similar to what you have in Photoshop to
start I'm just gonna use the paint
bucket tool and I'm going to fill in the
background with a black color which is
on a little bit of a delay it is a
little bit slow at times but I recommend
you use Google Chrome and if you're not
recording a video while working it
should probably be a little bit quicker
as well but I always like to set the
background to black because I like to
design for the darker colored
backgrounds because I think those shirts
sell better
I think Amazon merge tells us they sell
better honestly all right and then what
I wanted to do for this design I'd
already prepped a PNG here of like a
fighter jet that'll be our niche that
we're gonna work on so I just drag and
drop that from my desktop and it worked
instantly it placed it on the canvas and
I'm gonna use the text tool but what's
cool is like if you're used to Photoshop
you can just use the keyboard shortcut
hit T and then drag and create a box for
your text and by default it's very small
so I'm going to increase the size of
this and we need to change the color
from black to white all right so I typed
the word future they have a massive
selection of fonts as you would expect
so honestly I mean we have a million
options I'm just scrolling through
quickly to find one that looks half
decent just a big bold one should be
fine alright I'm going to use this
kaamika axis alright and I'm also going
to slant it with the jet
whoops one thing that I can't do is use
the ctrl T shortcut to resize the the
text like I to a foot shot because that
opens a new tab in your web browser
alright so I got the word future and I'm
just gonna create a new text box
underneath and say jet or no say fighter
jet pilots and I will Center that and I
will rotate it and then I will move it
said about the same angle not exactly
let's tighten that up a little bit
alright it looks good by the way the
graphic I'm using is open-source public
domain so no issues there boom how long
that take timey I don't know what the
timestamps gonna be on this YouTube
video as I record it but it should not
be very far in that's how long it took
for us to create this design I'm gonna
turn off the background layer I'm gonna
go to file export as PNG and I'm gonna
hit save
alright and it's gonna save to the
default downloads location for that
computer which I have on my desktop
windows sucks when it comes to showing
or detecting a light-colored design and
putting it up against a dark colored
background but either way we'll just
skip that we'll go to Amazon merch I had
a browser tab opened up and select the
design and there we go
see it's looking pretty good on this
standard t-shirt I mean how long did it
take us to create that design that I
think woods honestly I think that would
sell that's like a perfect shirt to
target to youth you know so check that
Youth checkbox select a couple dark
backgrounds the Heather's sell really
well red blue purple and maybe not
purple maybe like orange olive
definitely green grass green over olive
in my opinion and yeah we can price it
at like 14
99 if we're gonna submit it now my goal
wasn't to actually do the full
submission process for Amazon merge it
was really just to show you how quickly
easily and efficiently we can use photo
pia again there's no credit card that
you need
there's no catches no gimmicks if I grab
this URL and I go incognito if you
thought there was a login or anything
like that there's not this is proving it
to you right now because in incognito
you can't be logged in already so we're
right back where we started here all I
have to do is click the link so again
just use the link in the description or
just type it in I don't care it's not
like a tracking link or an affiliate
link or anything like that so yeah so I
hope this helps guys if you have any
other suggestions similar to photo Pia
or canva that you want me to check out
just drop me a line drop me a comment
and yeah if I think it'll help I'll I'll
share it with everybody else so let me
know anyways guys thank you for watching
this video do me a favor real quick just
hit that thumbs up button if you're not
subscribed it'd be huge if you could
just go ahead and click that sub button
so I'm gonna be dropping a lot more
valuable content regularly now that I'm
unemployed I have a little bit more time
so my goal is to post videos more
regularly and I will see you guys at the
next one school is open enroll now and
