This document provides an introduction to photo editing. It discusses how photo editing can be used to enhance images or create illusions through manipulation. It then focuses on explaining the basics of using Photoshop and Microsoft Paint for photo editing. Key tools and features of each program's interface like layers, toolbars, and palettes are outlined. Basic editing techniques like cropping and copying an image selection are demonstrated. The document concludes by noting more advanced Photoshop concepts need to be learned for continued graphic design work.

Photo Editing can be looked at as the altering of an image to
better fit ones desire.

You would assume this is a good thing, giving flowers
more colour, making a picture of your family stand out etc.

But it can also be used to create an illusion or deception
through a style of editing called photo manipulation.

The act of editing photos is done through the help of an
image editing application.
.

4. 
So let’s take a closer look at this
‘PhotoShop’ and what it can do.
• The most popular one being Adobe PhotoShop

5. 
Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a graphics editing
program developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the
current market leader for commercial bitmap and image
manipulation software, and is the flagship product of Adobe
Systems.

One of the most difficult things that you have to understand about
photoshop is it’s use of layers. This is when you have a background
image and you would layer your text, and other images on top of that.

6. 
So, now that we are in Microsoft Paint (or MS paint),
we’ll go over the basics.

These first 3 areas are very
important to learn.

1) This is the toolbar and it has
all the options available to alter
the picture.

2) This is the navigational
bar and controls options such
as saving, printing or image
options.

3) Finally this last area gives you options on
changing things like brush size and zoom scale.

7. The toolbar

The toolbar really makes MS
paint what it is.

This picture displays all the
options that are available for
image editing.

Some of the most commonly
used are the eraser, select,
zoom, pencil and the colour
chooser.

I would learn these
commands before anything
else with the program as they
are the foundation of image
editing in MS paint.

8. The navigation bar

The navigation bar holds all
the information used to open,
save, print and create new.

It also allows users to do
some things the toolbar does.
Like:
zoom edit coloursor

Some of the other options
that can’t be done in the
toolbar are inverting and
rotating pictures.

9. The options palette

As you can see from the picture this
will let you switch between different
sizes and styles of brushes.

In more advanced programs like
photoshop, you will be able to create
and use custom brushes to make even
cooler pictures.

One thing I didn’t mention earlier
was the colour palette. This is pretty
self explanatory area and just
changes the colour of your brush or
bucket.

Now that we know what everything
does, we can begin image editing!

10. 
Your first step will be to open the
picture you want to edit.

To do this go to
File -> Open.. -> “Image to be edited”

Once you’ve opened it you should
have it’s picture on top of the blank
white space.

We are going to now try and crop out
the tigers head.

11. 
Your first step will be to
click on the free select
button (blue) so that you
can select just what you
want.

Next click anywhere around the head
of the tiger, keep your finger on the
mouse and pull it around the part of
the picture you wish the selection to
include.

12. 
Once you think you have what you
want to select. Release the button
and your selection will appear
inside a little box.

Now you’re almost done! Copy the
picture by either right clicking on the
selection and hitting copy or hold the
ctrl button and press the C button at
the same time.

Now put it on the face of one of your
relatives for fun etc. The possibilities
are endless.

13. 
Just like so

14. 
So now that you know the basics of editing pictures with MicroSoft
Paint, upgrading to a much more practical program like Adobe
Photoshop is going to be a lot easier.

Easier, but not mastered. Concepts like:

Layering 
Use of Opacity 
And special effects

Are all very important and if you wish to continue doing
graphic design are areas that need to be learnt.
