chapter 11

In this lesson I learned to record and replay a series of steps in Photoshop, add guides to help place images and selections more accurately, save selections, load selections, load selections as masks, apply color effects, apply filters to selections, add layer styles, and add adjustment layers to correct colors of selections.

Photoshop Lesson 10

To this

I had a very hard time with this lesson. However, I learned to import a layer from a different file, clip a layer, create and edit an adjusted layer. The hardest thing was figuring out how to use Vanishing Point 3D, but I did it in the end! Another very difficult thing for me to do was figuring out how to flatten a layered image, and I am still not sure I will be able to do it again. Also, it took way more than an hour.

(A) apply computer technology to individual or community problems;

Use computer technology to help with community problems.

(3C) use graphic software to create and modify images;

Edit images.

February 23rd, 2009- Photoshop Lesson 7

In this lesson I learned how to use camera raw to process an image and save it in camera raw. I also learned how to make typical corrections to a digital image like removing red eye. I also learned to bring out shadow and highlight detail. I learned to use Vanishing point to change the visual perspective in an image. I learned to apply an optical lens correction to an image (get rid of blur caused by the lens on the camera). I learned to make a PDF portfolio and present it.

(F) simulate computer-aided manufacturing;	They will copy computer-aided manufacturing.
(G) use tool path verification software; and	They will use tool path verification software.

February 19th, 2009- Photoshop Lesson 6

In this lesson I learned how to apply a clipping mask, how to make layer groups, how to apply a drop shadow, how to make a selection using a quick mask, how to save a selection as a channel mask, how to move an image within a mask, create and use a gradient mask, how to make a complicated selection with the Extract tool, how to paint in a mask to modify a selection, to load a saved mask, to apply fileters/effects to a mask, how to isolate a channel to make specific corrections, and to create a really nice grayscale using different channels.

(A) report on emerging and innovative computer technologies; and	They will report on these technologies.
(B) conduct research and experimentation in computer technology.	They will conduct research and experiments on computer technology.

In this lesson, I have learned, again, quite a lot. I have learned to organize artwork in layers, as well as create, view, and hide the layers. I can now rearrange my layers anyway I like.  I can add text to a layer. I learned to link layers together, to work  on them at the same time. I can apply a gradient layer, and I can save a flattened copy of my final image.

(H) use computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) applications to produce project drawings.	They will use computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) applications to make project drawings.

What I have learned:

As always, I have learned a lot.  I learned to select an area of my image without affecting the rest of it. I learned to move part of the whole image without affecting the rest of the image. I learned to copy part of a whole image and to duplicate it and resize it. I can now add to and subtract from a selected image. I can rotate an image I have selected.  I can add shadow to produce a more realistic image.

(E) use machining software to produce or simulate the production of products;

They will use machining software to make or copy the production of products.

What I have learned:

In this lesson I have learned, again, a lot. I have figured out how to repair an image using several different tools. I learned how to delete unwanted parts of images, such as wrinkles. I learned how to blend in corrections with the rest of the image. I figured out how to replace what I had changed back to its original state.

(H) complete his/her work according to established criteria.

They will complete work according to the given criteria.

(G) use time management techniques to develop and maintain work schedules and meet deadlines; and

They will use time management to develop and keep work schedules and meet deadlines.

In this lesson I have, again, learned quite a lot. I have learned about image resolution and size, and the affect they have on the image. I have learned how to straighten an image, see the difference between the two images above? I learned how to change the color of one of the tulips, as well as lightening the entire picture. I changed the shadow resolution. I used a sponge tool to strengthen the color of all the tulips.

February 4th, 2009- Photoshop Lesson 1 (absent)

I have learned a lot so far. When we first started working with Photoshop, i was completely lost. I had no idea what was going on. I have learned how to open Photoshop, how to use a few of  the tools from the toolbar and different ways to zoom in and out of an image. I can now change the color pallet, and undo what I have done. I have also learned some from Photoshop Help.
