Hello Students,
There are a few items we need to complete today, your task list is below:
- Turn your computer on, login username and passwords are located on whiteboard.
- Create a file directory for yourself, either on the desktop or in the documents folder.
- Create a shortcut to this directory and place it on the desktop for easy and quick access.
- Remember to save each project in its own folder from now on.
Now that your computer is set up and you have a place to save files, lets start with an excercise! Watch me demonstrate the exercise below and then try for yourself.
Below is a map of the PSD Tool bar and what each tool does. Open an image and try each tool to see what it does.
- Take 10 minutes and browse the photos at http://www.freephotos.se
- Find a photo that you like and want to work with, save it to your file directory by right-clicking on the image, create a new folder called "PSD Excercise 1" for this project.
- Open the file in Photoshop.
- Apply an artistic filter of your choice or alter the saturation, contrast, color etc. Show me what you can do!
- Download 2 more photos and repeat the process, change your filter or color adjustments, strive for a dramatic effect.
- Use the text tool to add your first initial and last name to the bottom right of your photos.
- Save your file as "firstnamehere_excrcse_1_A" for the first photo, and then change A to B and then C for the next two photos.
