Hey everyone. In this video tutorial,
0:01
I'm going to show you how to edit photos
0:03
in Canva. First, I'm going to show you
0:05
how to edit the foreground and the
0:07
background separately. Click on the
0:08
photo and then click on edit and then
0:10
find where it says adjust. In the select
0:13
area section, you can click on
0:16
or background. There's the usual things
0:19
you can adjust. When it comes to this,
0:22
you can adjust the temperature, also the
0:24
tint of the background, also the
0:26
brightness, contrast, highlights.
0:30
This isn't really uncommon to find it
0:32
any editing tool. What I want to show
0:34
you is if you drag the saturation all
0:37
the way down to minus 100,
0:41
this will make the background of your
0:43
photo black and white without having to
0:46
use any eraser or selector tool. Another
0:51
way you can edit a photo is you can blur
0:54
the background, but instead of using the
0:56
blur effect, I'm going to show you why
0:58
the autofocus effect is probably better
1:00
to use. Click on edit and scroll down to
1:03
effects. You can use blur if you want,
1:06
but it either blurs the whole image for
1:09
you or you have to use a brush to select
1:18
of the picture which can be a bit
1:20
tricky. So instead, go back to effects
1:26
As you can see, this automatically blurs
1:28
the background for you. You can also
1:30
shift the focus position on wherever you
1:32
need it on the screen and also change
1:35
the blur intensity. And also you can
1:37
change the blur intensity to
1:40
not so blurry and very blurry. These
1:44
next three ways to edit are all going to
1:46
be Canva Pro features. So if you do not
1:48
have Canva Pro already, go to the
1:50
description to find a 30-day free trial.
1:53
You can use the magic eraser tool. If
1:55
you click on edit and in the magic
1:58
studio, you should find magic eraser.
2:01
With this, you can also find an area to
2:04
erase, but you can use a brush as well.
2:08
Let's say I don't want to have I don't
2:10
want him to have his watch on anymore.
2:15
select it with this tool and erase it
2:17
from his arm completely.
2:20
You can also remove the background.
2:23
Again, this is a Canva Pro feature.
2:27
You can just click on it and it will
2:29
remove the background for you
2:30
automatically. As you can see, even some
2:32
of his hair sticking out stayed. With
2:35
the magic edit, you can use, which you
2:38
will also find in the magic studio, you
2:40
can use AI to change certain parts of a
2:45
selected area. Since this is an AI tool,
2:47
you should be very specific. I'm going
2:49
to show you first what it's going to be
2:51
like if you say something kind of vague.
2:54
I just highlighted the background and
2:57
said put more people in the background,
2:59
which gave me options where the
3:01
background is completely different. This
3:03
is not really what I wanted. I wanted
3:05
the same background and just some more
3:08
people in it. So, instead of something
3:11
vague like this, I'm just going to show
3:12
you something more specific. I'm going
3:15
to highlight his medal and say gold
3:19
medal. You will have four options for
3:21
each generated image. You can just click
3:24
on the one you like most and it will
3:27
automatically put it on the photo for
3:29
you. As you can see, this is this looks
3:32
very realistic. This new feature is not
3:34
a pro feature anymore. Click on edit and
3:37
adjust and scroll all the way down to
3:39
the bottom. These are all of the main
3:42
colors that are uh that are in your
3:44
picture. If let's say you want to change
3:48
the color of his shirt, you can just
3:51
take the hue and drag it to either end
3:53
of the color spectrum.
3:56
And from that blue color, not only his
3:58
shirt, but also his teammates shirts in
4:02
the background were changed.
4:04
You can also adjust the saturation to
4:06
match your photo the best.
4:09
And the last edit I want to show you are
4:12
frames. If you don't know these already,
4:14
you can go to elements and then click on
4:16
frame and then frames. Again,
4:20
then you'll be able to choose from all
4:24
Not only can you find frames for tablets
4:26
and monitors, you can also find them for
4:31
As you can see, this wouldn't really
4:33
work as well. So, I'm just probably
4:36
going to use another frame that doesn't
4:39
cut my picture up in a way that I don't
4:41
really like. To use a frame, just click
4:47
and then drag the photo inside. Then you
4:50
can resize it to make it larger. All
4:52
right, this is how to edit photos in
4:54
Canva. I hope you found this tutorial
