In this video, we're going back into our third and final artboard.
We'll open up the PTC Banner 3 file by going to File, then Open.
We'll scroll down to the bottom, select the PTC Banner 3 Photoshop file, and click Open. Where we left off with this image, we had our London scene on top and the text below. Now let's begin stylizing it.
If we look at our frame, we can see that we have an error message to the right. We'll then right-click the error message and select Update Modified Content. After it loads, we'll see that our image is now updated with the London scene, complete with the crane, hiker, and shadow.
In addition, if we want to swap this top photo with the other scene we've created, we can do so by going back to the frame thumbnail and right-clicking. We now have the option to update, edit, or replace the contents. We'll click Replace Contents, and now we can go down to the bottom and update it to our West Coast scene Photoshop file.
We'll select this, click Place, and we'll see that the West Coast scene is now displayed here. In this case, we want to shrink our image a little, so we'll select the image to the right of the frame and hit CTRL T to transform it. Then we'll simply drag the size down until it's positioned correctly.
We'll hit ENTER when we've finished resizing our image. And now we have another alternative image for our artboard. For your project, you'll have the opportunity to choose which image you'd like to display on your artboard.
You can either leave it as this image or switch back to the London scene. Personally, I'm going to switch to the London scene as I feel like it fits the text a little bit better, talking about cities hustling. To do this, we'll again go back to our frame thumbnail, right-click, choose Replace Contents, scroll down, select London Banner 3, and click Place.
We then need to adjust the size of our image, so we'll select the image, hit CTRL T, and simply drag it up until the image fits and is centered within our artboard. We'll hit ENTER to commit this transformation.
Let's now save our work using CTRL+S on the keyboard, and in the next video, we'll add various design and stylizing elements to our artboard.
