here's a quick useful tip on how to add the copyright information to an image file automatically every time you're making an edit on it in Photoshop so that that way you're not doing it manually and I'll show you what I'm talking about here so let's say I've got this image and you go right click on it properties in the details tab notice it doesn't have any of this information let's say you want to add the copyright information here there's multiple ways you can do this you can do it in Lightroom you can do it in bridge via bulk actions but this is just going to be a quick little tip on how to do it in Photoshop so I've got the image I'm going to make an edit to it and while I'm at it why not automatically change the copyright information rather than having to pull it up and do it manually or via some other method so I'm in Photoshop I'm going to open that image up and let's say I've done whatever edits I want to do to it maybe I have to click the sky or you know played with the shadows in here or whatever and now what I want to do is set it so that every time I save an image in Photoshop it doesn't matter what the image is every time I save an image in Photoshop it will put that copyright information on there so you want to do this via in action we'll go to your actions window you can get it from actions above here or on the right if you already have a like idea select a new action you're going to name it so I'm going to name mine copyright I'm going to set it as a default you can put like key actions on or whatever but we don't need that for the purpose of this so just leave it to the default copyright hit record it will now start recording what I'm doing next thing you want to do is go to the file menu and go file info and in here this is where we're going to enter our copyright information so we've got copyright notice filled you want to change this to copyrighted so this is going to flag that image now every time slid its flag is copy written this is important if you're putting stuff online so that people will know that you on the copyright on it copyright notice and I'm going to say so every time an image comes up here you can do things like put in the URLs and so or however you want to do it from there all you then need to do is go and hit OK and then hit stop recording so we've now saved that as an action and what we need to do is create an event so that it does it every time I save an image so you go to file scripts and script event manager so I go down to actions and I saved that copyright into my default actions and so what this is going to say is every time something happens into this Photoshop event it's going to add copyright information so I don't want it every time Photoshop starts or I created in a document I don't mind on every time I save a document so every time I save something in Photoshop it's going to automatically add that copyright click the add event button over here it's added it as an event hit done that's pretty much all you need to do now notice what will happen is when I go and I save this image it doesn't matter if you do it as a save as or save saved it go back to my desktop grab the sample image go to properties by right clicking go to details and notice now it has my copyright information on it and that's all there really is to it it's a nice little feature especially if you're doing stuff online and maybe you're not using Lightroom or bridge and you're not doing bulk copyright and you don't need even need to think about it because now it's programmed every time Photoshop saves document it adds my copyright information to it and I don't need to think to myself oh don't forget to put a copyright on it because it's done automatically I hope you found that useful and have a nice day
Thanks for your comment Bernard Samayoa, have a nice day.

what is going on guys welcome back to another video today I'm going to be going through exactly how to find copyright free images on Google so there's many different ways you might have heard of pixels com there's plenty of them basically you know there's all these different sites but sometimes you might find yourself getting stuck when you're actually trying to find an image and you just can't find one like and sometimes if it's not on that site then you're stuck especially if you build websites that what I do you know you're constantly in you know a consistent need of new images so what we're gonna do today is actually go through a few methods that I use to actually find any available images on the internet without having to pay for them so any free kind of images I basically pull them up on Google it's the basic technique that I think a lot of people just overlook go straight over their head or they just don't know about it in that sense all right so we're gonna get stuck into it and get straight into it so what we're gonna do is actually just look out for any kind of you know potential images that we would use it within our content so whether it's you know a landing page email funnel I don't know Instagram you want to reuse images wherever it is you know I'm going to show you how to find that so if we're to take into account just say we're gonna pick a niche so say we wanted to find images for fitness training okay so fitness but we wanted to specifically find the guy curling a dumbbell okay so what we do is come into Google and basically type curling a dumbbell and we do that so if you go to images over here then we've got all these images but you can see obviously these images are not listed for you to reuse yeah okay so they're not copyright free so what we do here is we'd go to tools and then we go to user rights very simple process and then go to labeled for reuse now we've got a bunch of guys who are curling dumbbells with copyright free images but what's more interesting about this method is it actually reveals to you all these third-party websites that you know essentially you have a bunch of free images that you would have never known about so anyone who's using that pick obey or you know flicker and all of those kind of sites well there's a bunch of other sites that actually have more images that you can have as a wealth of you know different opportunities you know that to reuse okay so if we were to basically go to these sites all I usually do is just check them out you know check out the other things that they've got so you can see obviously you know they've got an image here which seems alright the quality is not the best but I mean yeah it looks very genuine like it's just taken on a phone and sometimes that's the best kind of image that you would need so these are actually videos or something I don't know yeah but you can download them yet so it's just an image what you want to do is just create a bookmark of these sites so what I would do is just basically this is like a new one guarantee you haven't heard of this you know pixie no probably ain't heard of it so what you do is basically come up here just create like a new folder you know whatever bookmarks bar create a new folder call it whatever you want Bob's your uncle job done yes so that's all you would do look at this there's tons of images here let's say you've got all cars you know all of that stuff wouldn't really like that whatever so that's that one if we go down you can see pixabay which many of you may already know so just to show you what that does is this is pixabay you know you could go in here and type whatever that fitness you want to be very broad inside of these tools but this is very high quality if you haven't seen this site very good site I use this quite a lot but you know if you're writing a blog post sometimes you know your readers or audience can't resonate with just a very commercial picture like this so you know it's good it has this purpose in that sense you know sometimes it's good sometimes you know you might want something else but you've got a bunch of different categories hair animals you know architecture beauty and fashion education so on and so forth so if you click people you can get like avatars or personas you know I actually use this on my website I don't have an image of me it's a bit of a lady you know it's just a persona in that sense you've got vector images if if you don't know what that is that's images that you can scale without losing any quality so those are the type of images use on like Photoshop or not Photoshop Adobe Illustrator to be fair so silhouette images and things like that they usually like clip parts but you can scale them to any size and they won't lose any quality okay so they're pretty good we'll go over and see another one so Flickr many of you may know that one you might know that one by watching this video ready but Flickr coms and a brilliant site you know again these are really really good sites but sometimes you might find that they don't have what you want so you know in order to kind of get what you want all the time you want to use that Google technique that I've given you there all right make sure to leave a thumbs up on this video if you're enjoying it so far when I get that engagement up let's go for you know 30 likes in that sense for this size of channel at the moment yeah alright so what we're gonna do is just type in like dumbbell or something I don't have a clue whatever comes up you see so you got weights there or so on and so forth so whatever it is you know if you type in hiking or something you're gonna get images alright and hiking yeah so you got hike of a dog hike in foot path whatever so on and so forth all right so that's Flickr then we've got another one here Wikipedia images I've found that you can reuse they're always licensed to reuse I never knew that so you know if you see anything on Wikipedia that's another option you can go to Wikipedia and reuse those images I don't know how far it goes with that but usually you can reuse them so for it to type hiking here you'll find all different websites that's secrets you keep the filter on and then you can find more websites so you can see this government website what else can we find here public pictures see so we're just finding like a whole wealth of different megapixel need pics good free photos nice pic that I could go all day long like this too much images here you know it doesn't matter what you're looking for so it's a quick video anyway you know hope you can kind of get grasp the concept of how to do this you can get high quality images I mean that looks amazing look at that that's that's a really good nice quality image I really like that like a wallpaper or something but yeah there's so many images and then you know you can go here that is tons that if you go back you even got video footage there as well you know that's where video then not giving you that much you know cut give you that much crack in one video but yet basically if you're a website builder you're an internet marketer you're gonna be needing some
Thanks Gerrid your participation is very much appreciated
