Alright. In this video we're going to use a mixture of a template that's been laid out with smart objects. Okay? So we update the smart object and we update one little thing. Watch the logos, look all the logos updated all at once. Hey, saving us time.
I'm trying to think of anything else that saves us. Nope, just time, not, not money, okay? But it's a quick and easy way to kind of do your own mockups and use smart objects so that you can redo it again next time easily. Or I'm gonna show you in this one where to get some of these templates that are ready to go. That will save you time, but no money. Alright?
It's our final video in this series. Uh, I hope you enjoy. Alright, to get started, go to File Open and there's one called Mockup PSD in your exercise files. It looks like this. Okay? Now the cool thing about the templates, I'll show you where to get them from, but this one's been created where that logo is a smart object.
It could be a cloud, um, library object. Okay? We've used smart objects in this case 'cause you don't have my, uh, connection, my library, but they work the same sort of way. Remember our latte earlier when we updated one of them, they all updated. There are lots of templates out there ready to go like this. So let's start with the image.
Let's double click the actual icon, not the image name. Okay? So click in here, the little thumbnail, it opens up in another um, tab, okay? And what we're gonna do is we're gonna go back to my library of core productivity. I'm gonna grab my tea, I'm gonna drag it out, okay? And I'm gonna make it nice and big, not holding shift, just make it big.
One trick, trick ish is if you have it, kind of where you want it, hold on. The option key, okay? On a Mac alt, key on a pc, that's it. And it just drags from the center. It kind of goes out both ways anyway, get it somewhere in there. That's what I'm gonna do.
Hit enter on my keyboard, hit save. I'm gonna hit close. And you can see that smart object was used a couple of times. Okay? Like the latte. So you can see how you can do some really cool stuff.
When you update one thing, it updates across a couple gets even better with a logo. Open that up by double clicking it. Eventually it's gonna open up an illustrator. Yours is probably still open from earlier. Mine's not. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna grab this logo, delete it, grab my new, kind of like logo slate.
Stick it in the middle here. Okay? Hit save. Go back to Photoshop. You ready? City.
It's the finale for the course as well. I should have mentioned that. It's gonna end soon. You ready? Hey, look at that. If you are ever working somewhere where you've got to do things like this, mock things up, spend the time, do it once with smart objects or library objects, bend them around.
You can twist them, you can scale them, you can color them. And then when all you need to do is update that smart object and they all update at once. Now you can see the benefits of using these kind of smart objects and or library items and updating 'em all at once kind of to use them in mockups. Now what I'd like to show you is where to get them from. So, uh, lots of places supply them. Probably the best is, uh, Adobe's own one.
Okay? So up here in the libraries panel, there is an option to say, Uh, drop this down. See there's a little Chevron here. I can say you search in Adobe stock, okay? And up here I can do a search. I can say, let's look at, I don't know, let's look at stationary mockup, see what comes up.
You can see all of this good stuff. Okay? Now you need a subscription to be part of this. Okay? I pay, what do I pay? About $40.
It goes down to like $5, I think's a minimum per month. And this is Australian dollars. So I dunno what that's in us. It's probably not quite half. Uh, nah. Uh, so, um, you can see here loads of good stuff.
I like to use the website probably better. Um, so let's have a look. See stock adobe.com. You can say switch to templates and you can say, um, packaging. Packaging. Let's say you wanna mock up.
Ooh, spell badly. Got me there. Okay, so you can see in here. Say you want, say this one here. All of these little icons here will be smart objects. Okay?
And you'll have to update one of them and it'll update across all of them. Super cool. Just make sure you're using templates, okay? And have a little read through, uh, what it explains, this one here, some French. Um, so loads of cool stuff just to save you time. Like I've done it loads of times where it's like, actually, do I really want to spend ages, like mocking something up that's just a quick like demo for the client.
Okay? There's web stuff and doesn't need to be packaging. But yeah, those templates, uh, you can use, you can make your own. But yeah, I'll see you in the next video.
