Hi, my name is Kent
I'm the creative specialist on the Google Web Designer team
and I'd like to show how to use Image Processing in Google Web Designer
This allows you to make automated changes to images
like adjusting the
contrast or painting out parts of a photo
Right-click an image to select Image
processing
or you can do the same from the Edit menu
In the dialog we see a list of operations at the top
with different
controls for each below
You can zoom the stage here
Auto enhancement adjusts the brightness, contrast
and saturation of an image at
once
no further controls but you can apply the operation multiple times
and undo which is also command z
or cancel or just close the window
Notice when I save an operation
a new library asset is created
leaving my original unchanged
The new file will be the same format as
my original
except for the Extract subject operation
which always creates a
transparent PNG
I'll use a different image to
demonstrate Inpainting
which allows me to seamlessly remove
unwanted parts of a photo like this cloud
I can use the marquee to select the area
but I see it created an artifact here I
don't like
so I'll undo and use draw region
which is like a paint brush with a size control
While you're drawing if you want to bail
just hit the escape key
and this works in all operations
then I can try a bigger brush size
and that looks a lot better
You can also
continue editing more areas
each time I release the mouse the result
is applied
Another new photo to show Extend image
This paints in more content to make your
image larger
It's limited to 20% in any direction
but you can use it
multiple times if you need more
You can drag the handles
or enter values
numerically
and apply when done
and you can keep going
making your image any size
One last operation I'd like to show is
Extract subject
where in this case I want to cut out the orange
to use without the blue background
Like Extend we have marquee and paint
brush controls
but now we have plus and minus paint brushes
and you need to start with the marquee first
I can select an area
or simply select the entire image
next I'll see the selection mask in red
and we can apply this now
or continue refining the mask first
and then apply to see the transparency
then save
and like before an edited copy appears on the stage
It's the transparent PNG leaving my original jpeg intact
That does it for Image Processing in Google Web Designer
Thanks for watching!
