Hello and welcome to The Russell Brown Show.
In this episode I'm going to be talking about transferring images
from your desktop computer to Adobe Photoshop Touch.
I'm going to go through this step by step.
Now, to begin with, you have to be using the Adobe Creative Cloud,
and you need to install that, as you can see here, on my Mac or my PC.
I can of course go to Adobe.com, find the links to that, and install it.
Here's the other thing you need.
Once you've installed and logged in to the Creative Cloud
and you have an account, you can scroll down to the bottom of your page,
as you can see here, and you must click on this Downloads right here.
I'm clicking on it because you need one more element
to fill in this whole circle of creative sharing.
Right here under Downloads, you need to download the special plug-ins for Photoshop
so you can open up the files that you've worked on here in Adobe Photoshop Touch
directly inside of Photoshop.
So don't forget this key ingredient to making this whole process work.
I'm going to go back here to my Creative Cloud right here.
Let's go through this whole workflow.
Let's say you have a photograph sitting here on your computer.
In this case, it's called Rose--right here on my desktop.
I want to get that file over to this device without having to plug it in.
I want to do this over the airwaves through my Wi-Fi connection
and through the Creative Cloud.
There it is, and here's the Creative Cloud.
I'm going to first click on this icon right here.
I'm going to then upload a file into the Creative Cloud, clicking on that.
Here's my Rose.
You saw in one of my earlier presentations the different file formats you can import.
And in this case, JPEG was one of those file formats that I can import.
I'm going to select it right here.
I'm then going to select Choose.
It now magically uploads.
Can you feel it? It's uploading it into the cloud, and there you can see it.
So, bingo, it's in the cloud.
Now we can cast our attention over here to Adobe Photoshop Touch,
and I can do an import.
I want to refresh my direct cloud interface by clicking on Creative Cloud right over here.
Did you see by clicking on this right here,
it then refreshes any new files that might have been transferred up to the cloud.
Let's scroll down. And in fact, there it is, the Rose.jpg image which I just uploaded.
Pretty cool.
So a really nice interface bringing that over.
What I can do now is click on this, add it into my project here in Photoshop Touch,
and you can see here I can then start to work on this
using any of the great features here in Photoshop Touch.
But let's go ahead and do something here.
Let's make a selection of this area right here,
and let's go ahead and let's copy that right here,
and then let's paste a second copy.
I'm going to paste this actually into a new layer.
So let's go ahead and add a new empty layer right here
and let's do a paste right into that
because I want to show you that layers are supported now inside of Photoshop Touch
and then transferring over to Photoshop.
I'm going to click Done.
So you can see here I have a second layer sitting right there.
In fact, I have 3 layers.
Okay. So now we're done.
Let's go over here to the left-hand corner. Let's save our project.
So now we've created a Photoshop Touch document from that original JPEG image
which we transferred in, and it's sitting right here.
Now let's go back into this world of my desktop.
Here at the top you click on the Creative Cloud icon,
and I want to upload to the Creative Cloud.
I want to do a full circle right back over here.
So I'm going to click on Creative Cloud.
I must select the image that I'd like to transfer, click OK.
Now it wants to know, "Where should I place the image?"
The great thing about the Creative Cloud is that I can create folders
to put different projects into, or I can just drop it right into my full window here or my gallery.
I'm going to click Upload and drop it right back into the gallery here.
Now, the original that we transferred is called Rose.jpg or JPEG.
What I'm going to get now is called a Photoshop PSDX file.
It's a new different type of file.
The X indicates that you can open it inside of Photoshop.
And you can only open it inside of Photoshop if you did that earlier task
of downloading the special plug-ins for Photoshop
and installing them into, of course, Photoshop CS5.1.
It is essential for this whole process to work.
Okay. Look at this right here on my screen. What do we have here?
We have an untitled PSD.
I could have named that over here on my tablet.
I can also name it over here. But let's just proceed forward.
I'm going to go ahead right here and let's click right here,
indicating which file we want to work with here in the Creative Cloud.
Check it out.
I could click on this first icon and I could share this project with others that I wanted to.
Or the second icon right here, I can download it.
Let's give it a try.
Let's download that. [makes buzzing noise] It comes with sound effects.
There it is. What's this?
It has its own icon assigned to it right over here.
So let's go ahead and let's hide my browser right now,
and let's go ahead and let's open up this untitled file right into Photoshop.
Now, of course it's warning us that this is coming from the Internet.
It's fine because I worked on it.
But look at this. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, this is cool.
Look. All 3 of the layers--my top layer, this center layer which had nothing in it,
and of course my bottom layer.
Wow! What have you just seen?
You've seen me go from a simple file here on the desktop,
through the Creative Cloud, into my tablet application--in this case, Photoshop Touch--
I added some layers and I brought it back.
Here's a few things you need to remember.
I can transfer over really large files up into the cloud,
but Photoshop Touch will automatically adjust them
so that they will work within the Photoshop Touch world.
It will make them automatically fit within a 1600x1600 space.
So it has to reduce the file size so that they can work in this world of the tablet.
It will also do the magic conversion from any color space I'm working here
on my Mac or my PC.
It will transfer it into the sRGB color space to maintain really nice color fidelity,
and it'll transfer it back.
And look down here.
Inside of Photoshop it's in fact bringing this back over in the sRGB format
so I maintain colors from my desktop, through Photoshop Touch, and back again.
Wow! That is the secret to life itself.
Okay. There are your steps from going from A to B to C. Give it a try.
