 Hello everybody. Welcome back to another AI video. In this one, we're in Photoshop and I'm going to show you how to create custom text in terms of custom design, custom font styles, decorations, that kind of thing. And I'm going to show you how to do it using generative fill. As you can see here, I went and made red and green sparklers. And you can see here that this text looks pretty cool with this applied to it. And it's super easy to do. So let me show you how to do it step by step. This works really, really well for YouTube thumbnails, I should add. So if you're making YouTube thumbnails, keep this in mind. Okay, so the first step, click on new file. Now notice before you click on anything, I'm in Photoshop beta. The reason why is the generative fill hasn't shipped to the full Photoshop version yet. So here we go. I'm going to load up my creative cloud. And if you don't have the beta installed, go to creative cloud, go to your apps file or your apps folder here, and then click on beta apps, and then go ahead and just search for Photoshop beta and make sure that it's clicked on install it. So you can go ahead and install it. Off we go. Again, now let's get cracking. First step, click on new file. I'm going to go ahead and create a thumbnail size. So this is going to be 1920 by 1080. But before I go any further, please note that I've made the background transparent, because when I export this, I don't want to export anything but just the font or the text and the cool style in it. So that's all I want to do. So I'm going to click on create transparent background. Alright, here we go. The next step is I'm going to go ahead and just write in some text. I'm going to click on the text tool, and I'm just going to type in a little word like I'm going to go big boss, whatever, something silly like that. And I'm going to make them a small word so I can make the font really, really huge so you can see what I'm doing. So I'm making this huge on purpose and something like that. I'm going to center it up and presto. Okay, big boss. Let's put this in the middle here somewhere and presto. So now we're still in again inside Photoshop beta. The next step is the critical one is we're going to go and hold down the command key on a Mac, the control key on a PC, and then just left clicked on your text here right here where the T is just left click on it. What happens is is that selects the text and only the text so nothing else is selected. So if you had this was on a thumbnail and you had a whole bunch of stuff in the background, that would not be selected just the text. Now you'll see here then this bar that we've got generative fill as an option. I'm just going to left click on that here. And then I'm going to type in what I want this to look like so in this case I want it to look like I don't know fireworks. Great. Let's just go with something simple. I'm going to go ahead with that I'm going to click on generate and let's see what we get. It only takes a few seconds and while it loads here and it does its thing. Look on the right side here you'll see under prompt under properties generative layer prompt fireworks. The reason why that's interesting is because we can just go ahead and change this kind of on the fly. So here's our first crack. If you don't like it, you can go ahead and look at the second one. I'm just going to click on this right arrow. That's pretty cool. Not going to lie. I like that one. Let's click on the third one. Maybe that one's the one I want. I don't know. All right, well let's say maybe we want to run it again, right? You didn't get it right the first time. Just click on the prompt here. And then I'm just going to go ahead and hit fireworks 4th of July, whatever, right? Like I'm just having some fun here. I'm going to click on generate and you're going to see that it gives us another set of three variations. So apparently in the beta and probably in the final production version of Photoshop, they're not restricting this. You can just go nuts and just keep on cracking at it until you find something like that looks pretty cool. I'm not going to lie. That one's pretty good. That one's not as good. So this one, maybe that's the one I want. Okay, good. Now we've got our font and we've got our text. So what we do is go to file and go to export and export as and I'm going to export as a PNG. So I'm just going to make sure PNG is selected. The reason why PNG is because you have a transparent background and then presto I'm going to click on export. And wherever the heck I'll put it on my let's put it in my pictures and we'll call it artboard one because I'm not very creative. And then when I go to find her and I go to pictures, let's go to pictures. There she be. And our board one I double click open it up and there we go. We've got just the text with the decoration applied to it and nothing else. You can take that and drop that in on top of your thumbnail and it will look awesome guaranteed. Thanks for watching.
