S.T.U.D.Y. !

Here's what you need to know for the test that will be coming up on Wednesday!
Organize. (photoshop will automatically add pictures into your organizer, if you have created it with photoshop.) Tag your images by clicking it, and going up to the options column and click on ''tag''.
Tagging is a great way to organize your pictures.
You can add things like captions, sound, etc. All the information is in the picture, like what camera was used to take the picture, what time it was taken at etc.
If you want to make a calendar, you can drop the pictures into the calendar. You can insert pictures into your calendar, on the date you took the picture or you made it. This is a user friendly feature. This calendar feature isn't on every photoshop.
Hint: study the ''create'' things.
He might ask you how to create a photo book= You select the pictures you want, go to create, photo book.
Its a nice way to make a page. Slide show= select the pictures you want, go to create and select slide show. When you make a slide show, you can put it onto a DVD, and watch it on your computer.
You can fit slides to audio. You can have slides match the mp3, so it fills the whole space.
You can email the slide show, and change the size of it.
You should know:
What resolution should a picture be when your printing it? 300 DPI
What are the two main sizes a picture should be. 8x10 and 5x7, and 4x6
resolution for monitor= 72DPI
The different tools.
- You can use the navigator instead of the zoom tool.
If you want to add a complimentary colour to your picture, you can use the eye dropper, and it will sample colour from an image .
Markee tool- selects an area. If you want to get rid of the markee tool, you have to click CTRL+D.
First thing you do for trouble shooting your problem(if your tools aren't working) : 1) go to layers. [you might be on the wrong layer]
2) remove a selection. [there is a good chance that there might be a small selection on your page, so check for any selections. so press CTRL+D, to make sure.
3) they are on the wrong mode. (but you don't need to worry about this step)
Lasso tool: tries to automatically highlight the closest thing you wanted to choose. [a selection tool]
magic wand: selecting colors= when you use the magic wand,
tolerance- how close the pixels are together.
contiguous- will select the pixels that are touching the pixel you chose.
You can use the magic brushes to extract people, or anything from a picture.
You have mask tool: its a selection for wanting to do something weird. Gives you a mask, so you can make changes. It will mask an area out. [don't need to know because Mr.Case doesn't use it.]
Crop tool: you can choose the length, height, resolution.
Cookie cutter tool: you chose a shape and it make a selection for you. [Mr.Case doesn't use it.]
Its a way of making selections in fancy shapes. Like hearts, etc.
Straightening an image(it makes your image straight): you have to make a duplicate layer, [like you always have to do]. (Mr.Case doesn't use it)
Red eye: desaturates the red in someones colour. It extracts the red. Changes the red level to zero.
Spot healing: If there is a blemish in a picture, tap on a n area, it takes the information from the surrounding pixels to make the blemished spot go away. Its similar to the clone tool.
Blur: opposite = sharpen
dodge: brighter.
burn: darker. Trick is to apply it to a realistic place. Used for making shadows. [you don't really need to know]
Make sure you know your hexadecimals: (goes up by 16's)
256= 100
16- 10
17= 11
32= 20
There will be three questions on the test about hexadecimals!
a0 = 160
a1= 161
a00= 2560
Additive and subtractive colours.
Primary colours when dealing with light: RGB
Primary colours when dealing with ink: Cyan, magenta, yellow
Opposite of RGB is cyan, magenta, and yellow. And the middle is white. [when you add everything together]
CMYK. k=black
Additive for monitors. [when you add colours it will get brighter colors]
Subtractive for printers. [when you add colours together you get darker colors]
ff is the highest value.
If you have ff under R, you'll have red.

Studyyy !!
