hey everyone here's a lesson on how to do the photo story obviously first you'll shoot your story your pictures and you will bring them back into the computer select the ones you want into one folder with four to six images whatever your photo story is this one that I have is that story on the kid with the broken of the damage heart and all my pictures are in here I have more than 6 but this is just for convenience the show you so you will  put your pic listen to one folder like this and you will go one by one and drag one into Photoshop and a photo open you will go to file file info  and under description you can type in your caption and remember the 5 W's so you want who what where when and why and you would put photo by in your name and something like that just get the 5 W's down and that'll be good hit okay and you want to save it so you can do command s or go to file down to save  Ajay saved and then you can close that you can close the corner or you can do command of you  and then you do it again drag the next one and two shop and go to file info type your caption it okay command S4 save or save and you're done close it command W so you do that for your four to six pictures when you're done you close it out you take the folder and he dragged it to the bridge  COC all your images now that you did that and here's a we talked to him that lesson earlier is if you click on one photo  now you notice the photos over here  and you go down Define what says iptc core on the right here click down and you will scroll down and I my caption  can I  we are the way it's set there we go there it is so now  you want this here because it's easier to get to you can click on each one and it's each caption so whatever sure you click on the informations right here so you can put this down here  or  you can obviously put it in your dock the next step is to start a new  Photoshop document C click Photoshop  file new Laker building a nuke and 20 by 15 by 200 just like we always did open it up okay and I would save it first save as and I would call it story  I can't stop and your name okay key . Safe for whatever you want and hit save and then you have this document it's ready to go okay so then like we always do you can what's a bridge double-click on a photo photo open up  and obviously you're going to want to  crop it by 5  so we could shrink at remember so shrink largest cuz it's a vertical so I'm going to five here okay and then you want to go to select or command all will slice you get the ants so command a will do that command see will copy it command V will Pace the can you get your move tool you can move anywhere you want you would do that for the rest of them whatever it is so remember to Mantee or holding down the shift key  on larger  so whatever it is bill designar  claws the way it is when you're ready and all your pictures are in place you want to go to the text Tori venustus thinking about it for a while that's great you line it up under your picture  and that's your cursor you got to make sure your that's not too big so let's try  12 let's see that's pretty small  so we'll go let's try like 36  okay and obviously my font I don't want it blue probably want it black Tyler is right up here and the type of picture I mean type of font I'll go with helvetica  forgetting you want but it should be newspaper like a typewriter so don't don't do anything crazy for this and then what you want to do is go back into your fridge  get the captcha can you save to your commands see Tapia go back to photoshop right where your cursor is a new command V say that's a little too long to have to hit return keep on hitting return to  you guys obviously my captions too long so you need a shore or make it smaller probably go smaller when you're done with the caption right there or just hit the select vinology selected it was my caption but it's too big so I meant I would have to go shrink it you can go back into your layers and then you can change the size if I want try 24 so that works and you can play with it but you wanted to be underneath that keep on going back till you get them all make sure you do a headline and also put your name on it so I'm going to show you an example right now  it's loading I just want my showed you in class me just I'm hitting F twice so it goes black so obviously I laid out the lead picture big and then I had supporting pictures around the edges has a nice flow to it and all the pictures support each other I have a headline my name and see the picture has a cap under each one  if you have to write shorter ones you can just to fit on some of them if they're repetitive you can do that just remember to lay out my pictures first because if you start moving pictures around then if to move the text around everything so make sure you lay out the pictures first  then you would go save as you go along the way always command ass or just save go to layer you would flatten it then you do a save as  as a JPEG and then you would save it to your desktop and then you would email it me Hiller ass at losing her. Org so I know this is kind of slow but it takes you through every step and just watch it couple times if you have to pause and restart it whatever you need to do but it's real basic and just make sure you spell incorrectly and you can see that in in the bridge at has Auto you'll see any mistakes if you have errors in here so this just saves you time initially you just have to in Photoshop put in  one by one all your stuff in in the description it stays with it forever so that's and then in the bridge you'll be able to see it and just nicely copy and pasted in there so I hope this helps and can't wait to see what they look like  thanks
