 Hello everyone, my name is Michael, I work for the SEMS Work Library and my co-host Kate is here as well too. Hi everybody, thanks for joining us today. So today we're going to go over creating a composite photo with Pixlr. So the agenda for today is I'm going to go over what is a composite photo, what is Pixlr, how to navigate the Pixlr X platform, how to navigate Pixlr BG, which is the option for removing background. And I'm going to demonstrate how to combine multiple photos into one using Pixlr. And I'm going to show how to save photos as well too. So what is a composite photo? So it is a photo that's kind of made by combining multiple photos into one. So if you do that, certain photos you might have to trim off some things you might not want to have like all of one photo in the next photo and I will go over how to do that today. And you might have to edit the original photo as well too. So you might have to cut off some stuff as well. So there might be some editing going on as well too. So on your screen right now I have an example right here. So on the left hand side of your screen I have about five photos starting from the left. There's a photo city hall and there's a picture of a dog. There's a picture of a planet and there's a picture of a cupcake and a cat. On the right hand side, this is the final photo where I use Pixlr and I kind of cut off the background on most of the images and I use the background image of city hall. So you can see city halls right here. There's a planet right here. There's a dog and a cupcake and a penguin right here. So this is how you will combine multiple photos into one. So what is Pixlr? So Pixlr it is an online photo editor, so you do not need to have an account to utilize this platform, but there is an option for you to sign up for the account. So the reason for this is you could just go there and go to pixlr.com, you can upload your photos, you can do edits and that's fine. But if you decide to sign up for an account, you get a little bit more features like if you want to use some of their stock photos and you want to download them, then you would have to sign up for an account. And also, Pixlr is free, but then there are premium features as well too. You can still use Pixlr without paying, but if you pay for the premium features, you might get more functions and you might not have to wait for certain things to load up. Because if you're using the free version, there might be a delay in like 10 seconds or 20 seconds and you might have to watch like an ad. And the other thing is there are ads in the free version. So if you're okay with that and you can use the free version, the ad will come to display on your screen. You click on close after like 10 seconds and that should be fine. And there are different versions of Pixlr. So there's Pixlr X, which is like the simplified version where I'm going to go over today. And there's Pixlr E, which is the more advanced version. So that version, you have kind of the same functionality, but then you have more functions as well. And it's not as user-friendly. So there's not like a button where you click and you would say, oh, I'm going to do this and click that. It's a little bit more advanced. So I do recommend that you play with Pixlr X first. You kind of get familiar with like the navigation, the functions. Then once you are more comfortable with that, then you move on to Pixlr E, which is the more advanced version. And the other version is Pixlr BG. This is the background removal function of Pixlr. So in the previous slide, there is like a dog here in the picture and there's a background. So I use Pixlr BG to remove the background and I only kept the dog as a fun product. Then I use that photo and put it into a different photo without the background. So it looks a little bit better. So you would go to pixlr.com and Pixlr does have like an app version as well, too. But today I'm going to go over how Pixlr works and how Pixlr looks like on like a laptop or like desktop computer. And if you need more help, Pixlr has a couple of options as well, too. So they do have a blog where they kind of provide like form posts and they kind of answer like common questions. And Pixlr does have a support page as well, too, where there's like tutorials and how to do certain things as well. So if you have a time, you might want to check that out as well, too. Okay, so demonstration time. So I'm going to go to pixlr.com and my browser. And I'm going to show you how to navigate the platform and how to use certain things on there to kind of create your composite photo. Okay, so on your screen right now you should be seeing the Pixlr.com main website. So once you type in EIXLR period COM, then this is what you'll see once you get there. And like I mentioned earlier before, you do not have to have an account to use the service. But if you would like to sign up for an account, you can as well. On the top right hand corner of your page, there should be a button that says login slash sign up. So you click on that and you could log in if you're having an account or if you don't have an account, you click on sign up right now and you can sign up for an account. But you don't have to sign up for an account to use the service and I'm not going to sign up for an account today as a part of this demonstration. So I'm going to click out of this. So once you're on the main Pixlr website, this is what you'll see. There's going to be like a short description about what this platform is. You can read that once you have time and scroll down. And I mentioned earlier there's two versions of Pixlr. There's a Pixlr E, which is the more advanced photo editor, and Pixlr X, which is the quick and easy graphic design platform. And today I'm going to go over Pixlr X and how to use certain features on there. And if you scroll down more, there's going to be more description. And it does have design templates. So if you do not know what to do or you don't have like a starting idea that you could use one of these templates to start off with. And you just have to click on explore templates right here. And you can see all these templates right here. So I'm going to go back. And let's scroll down more. So you could use Pixlr to make a collage as well too. If you have three photos or four photos or five, you use the collage templates and you create like templates or collages like this with three photos and it will look kind of professional. And I'll go over that today as well too. And the Pixlr BG version, which is the remove background version. And this is where you access it. So it says remove background right here and remove BG right here you click on this and it will bring you to the option of the website where you can remove certain backgrounds. And here is a good example. So originally this photo has a woman in it with like a background with flowers. But if you use a Pixlr BG, then you can remove the background and you have the clean photo right here without the background and only the woman right here. And Michael question. Yes, is the BG option a free option. Yes, it is a free option. I will show you how it looks like later but I think before there was like a paid version where you could have a little bit more advanced. But you should be able to utilize like the basic functions well out like paying for the events option or the premium version free background remover. And there's more filter and effects as well too. It's kind of straightforward. You would choose what you want to do. If you want to start off with BG or X you just click on it, it will bring you into those platforms, or if you want to start off with removing backgrounds, you'll click on remove BG and that's going to be the first thing I'll do. So I'm going to click on remove BG right here and this link on the right hand side. So once I click on this, it will bring me to this page right here. And you should see, like a link on the left hand side, it says open image so it's going to ask you where is your image that you want to use to remove the background. I'm going to click on this right here. And I'm going to locate my image from here. Okay, so I'm going to select this image right here so notice that it did remove the image very quickly from the background. So this works kind of well and kind of not well it depends on what kind of photo you have. So this is like a photo that has like a very like a lot of things going on in the background, then it might not be able to recognize what your object is and it might not be as clean so you might have to manually clean it up. And if your background is clean is one color two colors, then a pixel or BG will kind of see that and it will remove the background. And this is what you see from my photo that removed the background from background was kind of clean. So removed everything except for the dog right here. So you can see it's kind of clean but I'll show you what it looks like before. If you might have to use the manual option where you have to clean it up manually. So if you're happy with this, then you will go to download right here which is on the right hand side of your page. And once you click download this image will download to your device. But if you're not happy with this and, for example, there might be some stuff showing the background, you will have to click on this link right here on the right hand side which is called fine to. So I'll click on that. And once you click on that, there should be like a menu of options showing up on the right hand side of your screen. So this is where you would use these features to kind of clean up your image. So if your image isn't as clean in the background there might be some stuff showing that you would use some of these tools right here. So on the top right hand side of your screen, there's this bar right here for options. So I'll start from the left. The first option is draw, and it's indicated by like a paintbrush. So once you click on it, this function kind of utilizes like, like a physical paintbrush where you could draw on your screen, and you could keep certain things or you could remove certain things. So if you look further down on this list, there's mode option which here on the right hand side, there's keep and remove. So you could decide if you want to keep certain things on your screen or you want to move certain things on your screen. So right now there's nothing here on the left hand side but let's say I want to keep. So I'll click on keep, which is right here on the right hand side, and I've selected draw. So I can just draw something on the left hand side right here. And what it's doing it's keeping certain parts of the background that was removed before. So you would use this option if, for example, you use pixel BG and it removed your background but then it removes some of your object as well too and you might want to keep certain parts of the object. And you use this to kind of put back the object, or you would use the remove option which is right here. And it might not have removed enough of the background so you use this to remove the background as well too. This is the drawing option. But if you use the second option which is the magic option which is right here on the top right hand side of the screen. It's kind of indicated by like a wand with stars around it. If you click on it. It's going to be the same thing mode keep or remove. And you could just click on anywhere on your screen. And it's going to go by color. So if there's like a lot of one color, then you will select that and it should remove the background. But sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't work. So that's why you might have to use some of these other features as well too. But the drawing features kind of helpful because it's very specific you could use it for certain spots. And you could do the adjustments on the right hand side as well too for magic so none light medium. You could do the adjustments because it doesn't see the color but if you have more colors on here that it might work a little bit better. So the next option right here is the third option from the left is shape. So once you click on it, it will let you remove or keep certain elements from your page if you have like a certain shape that you want to remove. It's indicated by like a square in circle. You could choose keep or remove and could choose light medium or none for softness and you choose a shape. So I'm going to choose a circle right here. I'll click on circle. Now select the circle from here. And it's going to remove that part of the screen from like a circle point of view but if I want to keep. So keep. So it's going to keep like a circle of the background so this is a part of the original background right here. But I'm going to remove. So it's going to remove the background, but this is helpful if you have like large chunks of the background that you want to remove. But if it's like very fine detail that you would have to use the draw option which is more accurate. And then last option is the lasso option which is the fourth option from the right near top. It's going to indicate it by like a rope that looks like a lesson. So what this is is, you could remove or keep certain parts of your background, but you could just draw the shape. So like for instance, I want to keep. So keep, and I can draw out like, see, draw like a circle, and it will keep this part or draw circle right here. It'll do this so you could draw certain parts of the background that you want to remove or keep. And this is helpful if you have very specific areas. Okay, and that's how you do that as well too. So once you're done, kind of modifying your background and you're happy with this that you would hit download which is on the bottom right hand side of your screen, the download. And it's going to download to your PC, and you could use this to combine with like another photo later on as well. Okay, so once you are done, you will click the X on the right hand side of your screen. And it's going to close off. And it's going to go back to remove background right here. Any questions about the remove background option. Hi Michael, not specifically about that. But there was a question about if there's a limit on the size of file that you can upload to pixel. No limitation on size and quality for free background removal. Well that's good. So try it. That's the answer. Try to upload. See if it works. I have like a really high quality photo and see what happens. So I'm going to go back to the main pixel website. So from this page, you will go to top left and corner, you look for the word pixel right here, and you'll click on that. And they'll bring you back to the main page right here. So here is the main page. And I'm going to go to the pixel X version, which is quick and easy graphic design option. And I'm going to click on that. And I'm going to go back into this page right here. So this is going to be where kind of like your images kind of are kind of living and you can select between multiple images. So I'd like to mention that since pixel doesn't require you to sign up for account. And you can use it without account and it really doesn't save your photos to your account anyway. So if you don't have an account or you have an account, the images aren't saved anywhere on the pixel or like website or platform. It's saved to your specific device and it's saved to your specific browser. So if you let's say open up an image right here and you work on the image, and you close it, but you don't clear off like the history or the cache of your browser, then it is saved on your browser. But if you clear off your history or cash on your browser, then it's gone and you can't get it back. So that's one good feature about this is it's not saved anywhere on like the pixel platform, but it is saved to your browser. And the bad thing is you have to remember to save it or else you might clear off your history or cash, then you will lose that image. Okay, so right now on your screen right here. This is the pixel X platform. So there's a lot going on right here. So the first thing on your screen is open image option right here. So you will open your image from this link and you kind of start off with your project. But if you don't have an image, and you want to start off somewhere else, then you could use some of these recommended templates right here. So some of these are free. Some of these are premium options. So you might have to pay to use it. So if you use your mouse and you hover over some of these options right here to see second option right here on the top right hand corners is free. But the first option right here, there's kind of like this yellowish crown. And it means that it's a premium option. So you have to pay like a monthly fee to use this option. Now scroll back up. And if you look on the left hand side of your screen, there's these kind of buttons right here, home, history, templates and images. So if you started off with pixel and you have like a lot of images, it will kind of show off in the history section right here. Or if you want to use templates, you'll select the third option right here. And there's all these templates right here, which you might be able to use if they're free. But if they're paid, then you might have to pay for the premium version. And the last option on bottom right here is the stock image search option. So pixel does have like a lot of stock images where you could choose and you could use in your photo projects. So right now you can see there's some of these right here. And the default search is nature and these are all the options for nature. And you look through them and see what image kind of fits your needs and what you want to use as your project. So for today, I have an image in mind already someone go back to click home, which is right here on the left hand side, and I'll go back to open image which right here in the middle of your page. So I'm going to click on that. And I am going to select an image. So here's the image that I've chosen for today's project. So it's an image of like a beach and there's like ocean and there's a grass. And early I mentioned that since this is a free version, there might be ads. And on the right hand side of your screen you should be seeing like an ad right here. It is an ad for Adobe. And if you don't like it, you could just click on the X on the top right hand corner and they should kind of go away until the next ad. So right here here is the image that I'm going to work with right now. So I will want to create image with multiple photos on here. So earlier I removed the background of the image with like the dog and I want to add that to this screen right here. So how would I do that. So I will go to the left hand side of the screen. And you can see all these options on the left hand side so the home buttons the first one, and these are the other options. And if you don't know what these options are, you could use your mouse, you can hover over each of these icons and it will tell you what the options are. First one is a region style. Second one is layout and template. You could go on for the list and you can see what these are. So the option that I'm going to choose is I'm going to choose ad image, which is right here. It's going to indicate it by like a frame of a photo of mountain. Now click on that right here on the left hand side. And once I click on this, these options should appear as well. And these are your options of how do you want to add an image. So the first option near top is browse. So you click this option if you want to browse your computer. And if you're have like an image in mind, we'll find an image like that. Or if you have an image that you find on the internet, you have the URL address of it, you could use the second option right here which is URL, you will click on it, you could enter in the URL, and they'll pull that image and put it into your photo project. If you use the third option, which is right here on the bottom of your screen on the left hand side. This is the stock option. So you will click on this if you want to use some of the stock photos that are provided by pixel. And you use this if you don't have like an idea of where to start or if you just want to use like a stock photo, and you start from there to create your photo project. So for today, I'm going to use the browse option right here, which is the first option. I'm going to click on that. I'm going to select my photo from before where I remove the background of the dog. And I'll click on that I'll click open, and it's going to load that image into my image right here. But there's two images right now. The one image of the background which is the beach and one image is the dog. Notice that there is no background for the dog because I removed it earlier and I saved it. So it looks a little bit better with the background, and I could resize the image by locating the square boxes on the corners. And I'll make it, I'll click on it, and I'll click on it, drag it to the size where I think will look good. So make it smaller. So now it looks like there is a dog running on this, this pathway as well. And you can just move it to where you would like. Okay, and that's how you will kind of combine two photos together. So one photo is the background and one photo is an object, which you could choose it could be like an object like a dog, or like a cat or like a computer or like a person and you add things to your image as well too. So just imagine this is the beach scene and you add yourself to it here. You have an image of yourself, you cut off the background, you just add yourself right here and it looks like you're already at the beach right next to the ocean. Okay, so that's how you would add more than one photo. And on the right hand side of your screen right here, you should be seeing this section right here. It's titled layers and right below it, there's like two options right here. So once you start with a photo project, one photo will be one layer. And if you add more elements to your photo project then each layer will kind of be added on. So for instance, the background is one layer, then the dog is one layer too. So if I add more photos, it's gonna be more layers right here. It's gonna show up right here. So think of it as, let's say like a physical stack of photos that you have on a table, and you're cutting each one out and you're just kind of stacking one by one. And that's where it's gonna live. And by the final product, you're gonna combine all the layers together into one photo. So if you think about it, if you're physically doing this, you're cutting, then you're cutting like photos and you're gluing it on to a page, and you're just trying to combine it all into one. And that's what we're gonna do today. So right now these are two separate photos, but on your screen right now you're seeing it's one photo because I've combined it, but I've always removed it as well because it's not the final product. And if you want to remove certain parts of it, like for example, I don't like this dog right here, or I just don't want to see this background without the dog. I will go to the right hand side of your screen. I look for the layers option right here. And on each of these sections, there is a little square box on the bottom right hand corner. So right now it is checked. So it means that it is visible. But if you don't want to see it, then you uncheck it. And I remove that part of the photo. So I remove the dog and I put back the dog. But for example, if I don't want to see the background, I'll click that, and the background is gone. And that's how you kind of see like if it looks good or not, but you don't have to remove the actual image is just going to make it invisible or visible. And while we're on here, we're going to look at this layer right here. So background layers right here. And notice that there is a little lock right next to the square box. Locks meaning that if it's locked, you can't really do much to it. So you have to unlock it. And if you want to unlock it, you will look for the three dots, which is on the far left corner of each of these boxes. You will click on those three dots. And once you click on that, this should appear on your screen more options. So this should be a name. This should be like a mode. And you choose some of these modes right here. I might not have time today, but there's a lot of options right here to choose. You can see what it's going to change and it might fit your needs or not. So it's up to you. And this is a transparency option as well too. So you can make certain things transparent. The option right here says locked. So you click on unlocked, and it will unlock this image right here and you make changes to it. Or you can lock it. So to ensure that it's perfect and you don't make any other changes. So right now I don't have two layers, but for like photo projects, you might have like a lot of layers. So you might have a 10 or 12. So a question I've been asked before is, does the order of the layers matter? And the answer is it does matter because right now these are all separate. But if you were to combine at the very end, it really matters what position each layer is because let's say I'm going to click on this right here. So there's these three options right here. So merge down, merge visible, and flatten. So these are all options of kind of combining your photos. You will select each of these for your different functions. If you select one of them, merge down, it's going to merge everything below kind of this section, or merge visible. It's going to merge only certain parts of your layers. Or if you use flatten, it will just merge all your layers. So it really depends on what you want, or if you use any of these options. But if you don't use any of these options, and you just want to combine all the photos into one, you don't care what position it is, it's just going to merge everything. So you don't have to worry about that. But if you want to merge certain parts, then you have to worry about the order as well. And if you're adding different elements to your projects, and it does matter which order it is because I'll show you what it looks like later if you have like it in a different position, and certain things will not show up. Okay, so now I have two images right here. But let's say I don't want this image right here of the background like there's this ocean and there's a sky, and I don't like this. I want to add something else. So I'm going to go to the cutout option which is right here on the left hand side of your screen. And because it's going to indicate it by like scissors. So I'm going to use this, and I'm going to use one of these options that I mentioned earlier right here. So just shape cut out magic cut out draw cut out and last cut out. So I'm going to remove, so we'll remove certain parts of it. So remove right here. And I'm going to use a draw cut out. I'm going to cut off the ocean right here. Notice that it's not working because I kept it locked. So I have to unlock it first. So go back to one of the layers right here. And I'll unlock it. So now once it's unlocked. I should be able to remove certain parts of this. So I'm just going to draw like a line first here. And then I want to remove all of this right here. So it's a big section so I might want to use one of these other options like glass will cut out or shape cut out. So I'll start with shape. I'll start from the very top. So remove the one part of it, but they kept the line. I'm going to use a draw cut out, and I'm going to use manually to cut out this part right here near top. And also it did cut off the big section of it but there's still a little part right here. So I could use a lasso cut out right here. I'll just draw the section I want cut out. Okay, and notice that it did cut out some part but not all of it so I'll use the draw cut out again. To kind of clean up the cut out. Okay, so that looks kind of clean so now I have this and I want to add like a different background to it. So I'm going to go to add image which on the left hand side of your screen. I'll click on that. I'm going to choose browse which right here. Click on that and then when she was my image someone choose this image right here. So it's going to add this right here. So notice that it's not kind of displaying correctly because of the kind of the order of this. So I'll move this around. So once I move that to the last option right here, it kind of removed it to the background. Let's see. On select this. And I can move it to where I like. And I'll select the back. So now I cut off one section of one photo and added this section right here. So now I have a different background or different part of background right here. I have the original background of the beach right here. And I still have the dog image right here as well too. And that's how you will kind of remove certain parts from your photo. You can add more parts to as well too. And now these are all three different layers. So it's not final yet. So you could just remove certain parts of it. You can still see certain parts of the images as well. And once you're happy with it, you would kind of combine all the layers into one. And that will be like the final project. And I'm going to add one more photo to this as well. So I'm going to go back to browse, which is right here on the left hand side. And I'm going to add this photo right here. So this is a photo I have of the main library, which is right here. And I'll just try to add it to like a section right here. And I did have this image of the main library and it did have a background so I did have to use XOR BG to remove the background. And it removed the background I saved it. And now it's here and added to my photo project right here. So now I have kind of like four photos into one and let's say I'm happy with this and I want to save it. So there's a couple of options. So the first option is if you go to the bottom of your screen in the middle, you see the save option right here. You click on this button right here, save. Once you click on save, it'll give you the screen right here. You can name your file as well. So photo projects. And right now the file type is JPG. So you can save as PNG and WEBP or the PXZ option. So this option is very specific to Pixlr because if you choose to save in PXZ option, it kind of saves it in all layers. So for example, I'm going to go back. So right now these are four layers right now. And if you decide that, let's say I want to work on this project later on. And I don't want it all to be combined into one photo. Then you would save it in the PXZ option. And once you save it here, you can save it to your device. Then once you do that, then you could kind of reload it back into Pixlr in the future. And it will be like separate layers and you should be able to go back and re-edit your photos. But if you don't want to edit in the future, you can save it in one of these other options and it'll be one final photo for you. I'll select PNG, I'll download and it's going to download to my device. And like I mentioned earlier, this is the free version so you might get some ads and you might get some options that say you want to try premium version for free or you want to do the premium version. You don't have to if you don't want to. And the photo should be saved to your device. So on your screen right now you should be seeing the final product. So here is the image that I used or I combined multiple images into one. And now this is the final product. There's a beach. There's like this planet right here. There's a puppy or dog and there's the image of the main library. And that's how you will combine multiple photos into one. Thank you, Michael, because we did have a question about what do you do when you want to keep your file. It's not going to be saved to your like account because nothing is saved to like the pixel platform. So everything is saved to your browser and on your computer. It seems like a super important point. If you want to save your work, you're going to have to export it. So it's always good to save and you can save in multiple formats, JPG, PNG or PXZ. And in future you always come back to it. You save in PXZ and you can make adjustments as well too. But for the photo that I just saved, I saved it as PNG, I think, then that's only one photo. So if I load that photo back up into Pixlr, I won't see any of these layers right here. I just will just see one final product. So you have to remember to save it in PXZ so it will be saved in multiple layers. So that's how you do that. I'm going to go back. So I'm going to go to Pixlr X again. I mentioned that templates that you might be able to use. So I'm going to go back to templates right here on the left side of your screen. And you choose some of these as well. I'm going to look for the collage option. So these are all the options and I'm going to go to simple collage right here. I'll click on that. And once I click on that, these are going to be your kind of like your options for making collages. So let me choose, I'll try to choose a simple one. So I'll choose this one right here on the right hand side. And it's free. So I'll use this, well, using the premium version. I'll click on it and I'll show you this and use this template. So it's going to load that for you and you would just have to click on any of the plus signs and you would be able to add your photos to it. So I'm going to click on here, plus sign right here. And that is going to give me these options on the left hand side right here. And I'll click on set images, which is the option right here on the left hand side. And I'm going to choose that image. So I'm just going to choose some of the images that I used earlier. So choose one of them right here. I'll adjust it a little bit and I'll move to the second one. I'll click on set images. So notice that it kind of cut off like a part of the image because it doesn't really know like how big your image is or what section of image that you want to use. So you will click on position image on the left hand side right here. And you should be able to move your image within the range that you would think looks good. So that is the middle. So I'll go back to the first one right here, I'll click on position image. Then I'll move on to the third image was right here on the right hand side. I'll double click on that. And I'll add this image right here. Now click on position image right again. And I'll select the fourth image was right here on the bottom. Click on that. It's that image. And I'll select this one right here. Position image. Okay, and notice that there are more options on the bottom right here. So I'll click on one of the photos right here. And it's a shape. So right now it's the square shape. But I'll click on that to change the shape of each of my images. I'll change it to this or change to that. I'll click on the first image I'll change the shape again. A circle. Click on the third image right here. I'll go back to shape, which is right here. I'll change it to different shape. I'll select the fourth image right here. I'll change it one last time for a different shape. Okay, and that's how you kind of create like a collage using multiple photos. This is one of the more simple versions, but if you look at before, you add like a different templates. So you have a more complex collage, like one of these. And this one right here, one image, one image, two images. And that's how you make a collage. So I think that's my presentation for today. Any questions Kate. And now we do have some questions. Can you change the background color on your collage image. You should be able to see. Okay, so you go to the second option right here, which is layout and templates. There's the background option right here. So it is selected. But if you don't select it, there's going to be no background selected again. There's going to be background color. And right now it's defaulted to white, but you choose a different color. Oh, cool. And these are like some of the colors, but then you could choose any of your custom colors here as well too. You just have to move your mouse into any of these color schemes. Thank you. And then another question. Can you think of a way to combine the collage method with the composite photo method? Like it's, would there be a way to sort of merge the two methods that we saw today? Could you use a collage and a composite photo? Or I see that you did insert a composite photo into a collage. So we already did that one. Yes, let's say you have your previous photo project and you create this collage right here. So you would have to save this project first. I'll hit save and I'm going to download it. So download right now. So you have to save it from Pixlr first onto your device and then you have to re-upload it and add it to your other image. So I'm going to hit close. And I'm going to go back. So once I go back, I'll go back to here. So click on my other photo project right here. And this is the image right here. I'm going to go back to add image on the left hand side right here. I'll click on add image. Then once I click on add image, I'll click on browse. And then I'm going to go look for that collage that I just made somewhere on here. So it should be right here. I'll click on that open. And it's going to be added to this final product right here. It's getting pretty crazy. I'll remove some of these options first. I'll go back and here's the collage. Okay, and that could readjust it a little bit. So notice that it's selecting the different ones. So I have to rearrange it. And that's how you move it. Awesome. Thank you. About adding text, can the text go in any direction? I'm going to go through the question. So go back to here, add text. So click on add text right here. So type that right here. You're asking the direction. So I see curve. But like, what if you wanted to line the text up on the path, for instance? Okay, so like, see curve. Let me change this so it'll be easier to read. I'm going to make it a little bit bigger. And if you wanted to be on like the path, then I'll move the path right here. And there's like this little circle right above, like your word, and you just click on it and you could drag it. So I think that was the question if you want to make it like this. Could you show again how to remove a background? Sure. I'll go back. See. So I'm going to go back to the main page pixeler.com. I'll go back to here. I'll scroll down. I'm going to go to remove background, which is right here. I'll click on remove BG, which is right here. Once I click on that, it's going to bring you to this page and you can go open image, which is right here on the left-hand side of your screen. Click on that. It's going to ask you where's your image. So you will look for your image right here. And I'll select, let's see. Let's see this image right here. I'll click open. So notice that it says something went wrong. So it doesn't really know what you want to remove from your background because it doesn't know which image there's a lot going on. So you will have to manually remove certain parts of your image that I went over earlier. But let me go back to an image. I'll select the same image again. I'll select the pug. And that's how you remove the image, the background from your image. So it just says that once you upload it into that, it just looks for it and takes it out. Yes. But sometimes it doesn't take out things you want or sometimes some things that you want to be in your final product. And that's why you would go to fine-tune, which is right here. And you could use some of these tools to keep or remove certain parts of your background. And once you're done, you can download and it'll download to your device. And then is that image, that image was available to you to use in a project on pixel or do you need to sort of upload it to? So this image isn't saved to anywhere on pixel or it's not available to you. So you have to manually download it to your device first before then you have to upload it again into your photo project. Okay, awesome. And thank you guys all for joining us today. Thank you, Michael so much for such a fun presentation. That was high art.
