Manic Monday

There's a lot going on today!

Concentration:
  • Upload all your photos to your laptop
  • Save your 25 images in a FOLDER on your computer (label it CONCENTRATION)- not in iphoto (it's easier to open them in photoshop this way) If you uploaded via iPhoto, all you have to do is highlight the images and drag them into the new folder.
  • Save your 25 image folder onto your flashdrive as well. Put your Pocket Portrait on the Flashdrive too so I can grade that (the blog pictures were so tiny!)
  • Pick out your top 5-10 favorites from your concentration. Upload them to a blog post labeled CONCNTRATION, include a description of your concentration (it may have changed from your original plan!) and any captions under photos that you wish.

Critique:
  • You may have noticed there are 2 new Tabs at the top of this blog! One for Period 3, and one for period 4.
  • I would like you to view and comment on 5 classmates (stick to your class- so i can find your comment for a grade) Concentrations. Look through a bunch and decide which 5 you'd like to comment on.
  • Comments should be WELL THOUGHT OUT. Helpful hints, praise of talent, polite suggestions, etc. This is graded, make it count.
  • You will have to prove to the blogger you're not a computer each time you post- sorry!

Photoshop Basics:
  • After we've dealt with concentration business we will move on to PHOTOSHOP! Hopefully you've gotten a chance to play with it already, as I think it's more fun to figure things out on your own, and usually easier to understand too.
  • We'll start slow today and go over how to
    • open files
    • how to crop
    • how to change to black and white, or sepia.
    • how to up the contrast/levels (darks and lights)
  • Some of you may already know this- bear with me while we catch everyone up and feel free to ignore me and play with other features during this time.
  • We'll do more tomorrow, we'll be touching up old damaged photos
  • Bring in your own OLD DAMAGED PHOTOS from home to restore!
