Subtitles of the Movie

Drag and drop is a great time saving technique when you need to use more than one application and you want to incorporate one file into another file. Now if you have a limited system resources for example you have a limited amount of computer RAM what you would do normally is simply copy that artwork and then paste it into Photoshop or whatever application you wanna paste it to. Lets just do that the old fashioned way first of all. I'm an illustrator, I have this logo called Titanic and I would select all of it of course and I would copy it so I would choose copy and then I'd go back to Photoshop and then I would choose to paste so if you go to edit and you choose paste a dialog box will appear asking you how you would like to paste that into your document. For now I'll choose smart object. So once again from illustrator we copied the logo into the system RAM or the clipboard where it stays until you either uh close the computer or you paste it or copy something else. Now as you see here in our layers panel here is the object this is the vector smart object from illustrator. Now I'm going to go ahead and throw that in the garbage and show you a faster way of working. Beauty of drag and drop is that you can literally just move your, your document over so you can see the target area which is going to be Photoshop and then you can select your object and literally click and drop it or drag it right where you want it to go which is really cool. And there it is. You can save a huge amount of time if you can do that, you can simply drag and drop instead of copying and pasting and now the object is located in Photoshop and yes it comes in as a smart object automatically as you see here. And what we can do to accept this is we can just hit the enter or return key and then we can resize it to our hearts desire by pressing command or control T. And then with the handle selected we can resize it we can rotate it you can do whatever you want to because it's now a part of your document. The cool thing about it being a smart object is that we can edit it in illustrator and that the changes will update for us automatically in Photoshop. But we're gonna talk about smart objects in another lesson. So as you can see drag and drop is literally a huge time saver. It's a great way to have more then one application open and just go to one application move the window so they're next to each other and drag and drop to your hearts content and then you'll be able to create some great artwork more efficiently than simply copying and pasting.
