0:00:19.680,0:00:25.670
it you can also change the photo and

0:00:22.080,0:00:27.900
headline quickly and easily I

0:00:25.670,0:00:30.300
photographed this image that we can use

0:00:27.900,0:00:33.390
for the background as well as a shape

0:00:30.300,0:00:35.880
that will place our photo into the link

0:00:33.390,0:00:38.360
to this Photoshop file is located in my

0:00:41.100,0:00:45.960
into the newspaper it can be color or

0:00:43.590,0:00:48.899
black-and-white I downloaded this one

0:00:45.960,0:00:50.730
from shutterstock.com to get the best

0:00:48.899,0:00:52.739

if the file size of your photo becomes

0:01:07.770,0:01:13.530
way too large like this example first

0:01:10.619,0:01:16.500

then type in a lower amount in either

0:01:16.500,0:01:21.330
the width or the height doing that

0:01:18.869,0:01:24.360
decreases the file size dramatically

0:01:21.330,0:01:27.210
