Right. This video is all about exporting  and working with colleagues  and by colleagues I mean say other designers in your agency  or business might be just somebody else in a different team  where it might be some junior designers that you work with. So I'll show you tips and tricks  for working with each of them. The first and most easiest one is to go to file  and go to this one that says package. All the packaging is going to do is that it's going  to save a version of my PSD. And the best thing about it is  that it's gonna grab everything  that is linked to my library.

'cause remember this man, maybe not that man. Definitely the background image. The Hawaii image is linked to my library. And the problem is, is if I hand over a PSD file the  Photoshop document and I email it  or send it via Dropbox to a colleague  and they open it, it's gonna say, Hey,  I'm missing all these links from the CC library. Okay, so it's missing all of these and that's a real pain. It might be missing fonts as well.

It's missing the logos 'cause they're all linked. But if you package it first, what it's gonna do,  it's gonna save a version of your PSDA new one. It's also gonna yank out any links from your library  and put them into a folder. Then you can zip them all up and send them along. So I'm gonna put mine on my desktop. I'm gonna click choose and  Photoshop's gonna yank 'em all out.

Grab everything I need and hopefully on my  desktop you can see there. That's the folder that got created. It's used the file name, remember banner ads  and it's created this thing called banner ads. Folder in here is A PSD. It's not the same when you've got open,  it's like a new version of it that's linked  to all of these guys. These are the JPEGs that I had in here.

There's the Hawaii PSD, there's the logo long that's used. The only thing that's missing is the fonts. If we were using just a regular font from our  system, it would be in here. But if it's using a type kit font, okay,  I'm using this one here called Mio. It's not going to kind of yank it out  and embed it in here, which is a bit of a pain I guess. But as long as the other person opening up this PSD has a  creative cloud license, it's gonna say,  Hey, we're missing these fonts.

Would you like to download them? And it's uh, one button click,  you click sync and it just works. That's the one thing that's missing is the fonts. But I can go back now I can say, right click on my Mac here. I can say compress on a pc. I think you say right click send to zip file  and you end up with a zip file.

And that one there is easily emailable. I can stick it up to Dropbox or Box or Amazon Drive  or one of the other million file sharing services. And it's an easy way to get it to  somebody else at a different company  or somebody else may be in a different location. Packaging is easy. Let's look at a slightly more  connected way of doing it. That's kind of a, you know, here you go, here's a version.

But we're not actually working on it together. So let's say I am Dan, I work in Dublin,  but I'm working with Taylor in New Zealand  who I actually do work with. So what I wanna do is I wanna  do something slightly different. What I wanna do is I wanna share him the library  so he can work with all these different images. 'cause he is doing stuff that is not exactly,  he's not doing this banner ad,  but he's doing, he's doing other graphics. He does lots of our social media graphics.

So we wanna have a shared library so that he doesn't have  to have one separate from mine. When  He adds graphics to it, it appears in mine. They're just connected. Now  to do it on your libraries panel,  hit this little burger menu here  and hit this one called Collaborate. And what's gonna happen is a web browser's gonna open. Here we are here.

So this is my one loaded. It says, Hey, invite collaborators for this instructor hq. CCC library. I'm the owner  and I'm gonna say, Taylor, you can, here you go. You can edit it. Editing means I trust Taylor.

He is going to be able to uh, use the library. Exactly. He, he's gonna be able to add stuff to it. He's gonna be able to double click it,  open it and modify it. There's a level of trust and I trust Taylor. So he's happy.

I'm happy for him to add and remove stuff. One of the good and bad things about it though is let's say  Taylor clicks on this and says Delete. 'cause he very reckons we don't need it anymore. But my file opens and goes, Hey, uh, where's logo stack on? 'cause I've used it. There's a nice new feature in here  under this little burger menu again to say, I'd like you  to view deleted items.

Okay? And it's gonna load a web browser  and it's gonna show you everything that's deleted  and you can just reenact it. That's not the word I want. Untr it. I can't think of the word, but  it would just appear back in here. So it's pretty foolproof ish.

So great with people that you trust. And what you'll notice is, see this drop down here,  you can see I work with Adobe and Adobe logo. So this is a shared file. It's got lots of stuff I use  for lots of the courses that I make. And it's shared with a bunch of people. You can see there's a few other ones in here, instructor hq,  uh, Microsoft, my library, shared stock images are shared.

There's lots of things that I  work alongside other people and we collaborate. Now let's say, say you're the studio manager  or you've got some junior designers  or you've just got people you don't trust in Photoshop,  you know they're gonna wreck it the exact same window. So you go to that collaborate tab. But we can say from here you can say, actually,  uh, Taylor, I don't trust you. You can only view it. And  what viewing does is means they can drag stuff out  but they can't push stuff back in  and they can't update stuff from the library.

They're kind of a, it's really good if you're uh,  say a brand manager or you're the brand guardian within an  agency or a company  and you don't want anybody to mess  with your character styles or change them. It's like, here you go. You might have 30 people all working in various kind  of marketing and comms departments,  all using Photoshop to do various stuff. You can say, you guys can view I'm  in charge of updating stuff. Or maybe just a couple of people are collaborating. Alright, lots of talking.

But those are two really handy ways. Packaging, remember that's just under file and package. Or you can go up to this burger menu here  and say, I'd like to collaborate. Alright, that's it for this video. Let's jump into the next and last exporting video.
