Session 2 in B109

Today is the second day of Photoshop and the students are being given their own photographs to work with. Paul took pictures of the individual students in the hall outside the lab, where the light is not really very good, providing them with photos that they can enhance. Marleny smoothed her own photo and added a soft light effect, and also used the clone stamp tool to fix a few minor issues:

One of the main lessons for today is the use of multiple layers in order to keep projects organized and easy to fix if mistakes are made. Jenny used selective color layers to enhance her photo:

Keke used drop shadows as well as several other effects to make her photo into something nice, reminiscent of a 1980’s album cover (which she thought was funny):

And lastly, Taylor used a filter to make her photo look like a painting:


Next the students were told to blog about their experiences with Photoshop, and once they were all able to get into Blogspot they were hard at it. They’re sure to have some interesting things to say, and us instructors are looking forward to reading them!
