You may have noticed thus far that your Photoshop work is saved with a .psd extension. This mean that they are Photoshop working files. These types of files usually cannot be used practically - on the Web and such. If we want to use them elsewhere, we need to change into a different format. Typically, we save them as .jpg or .gif files. So today, let's do that.

You're going to do with this image the same thing you did with the "bizman" image... Select the hawk from the image using a lasso or quick selection tool and use Hue & Saturation (Adjustments tab) to change it's color. Invert the mask to change the green background to a different color. Raise your hand when finished. Do your own work - no helping! hawk Day 2

Hey Gang-
We're beginning our multimedia odyssey with some exploration into "static images". Remember that images (or pictures) can either be "dynamic" (or moving) or "static" (not moving). To work on, or edit, these static images, we're going to use the state-of-the-art graphic editing application, Photoshop. To get started, I have provided a link to a series of short tutorials that you will work through. To open Photoshop: Go to Start > All Programs > Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6 > Photoshop (64 bit) Follow this link: Beginners' Guide to Adobe Photoshop. Go ahead and start there. The tutorial is short and simple and will get you started. (You can skip the part about preferences - don't skip the part about creating a new image!) Make sure you READ and FOLLOW the instructions as given. If you get stuck on a step - ask! |
