This document provides instructions for manipulating images in Photoshop. It explains how to open an image, resize it, and place it into a Photoshop document. It then describes how to zoom in on areas of interest and use selection tools like the lasso and magic wand to select parts of the image to delete. It also discusses using the eraser tool to smoothly edit image edges. Finally, it mentions adding the edited image to another document or layer.
An introductory walkthrough/class, originally designed for tweens (ages 9-12), on using the open-source photo editing program GIMP. The lesson provides an overview of GIMP and walks you through the steps for creating a simple composite image.

Photoshop is unlike other common software interfaces which emulate virtual typewriters or graphing paper. Photoshop creates an artist's virtual studio/darkroom. When you open the program you see a toolbox on the left with tools you will use to manipulate your images, and on the right, a white square which is your "canvas" or work area. The gray area surrounding the canvas is not part of your image, but only defines its edges.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. How to manipulate a picture using Photoshop
Open a new document as seen below.
You now need to add a picture, as seen below:
• File Place
Now choose your picture:
2. Once you have chosen the picture you wish to manipulate, it will appear on
the screen with a faint cross in the middle of the box.
If you want to resize your picture you must do this before you ‘place’ it into
Photoshop. Use the black boxes around the picture to resize it.
Right click the black cursor (move tool). This will place the picture into
Photoshop. You will have an option to ‘place’ the picture (look below), click on
the ‘place’ option.

3. Now you can start to manipulate the image. Before you begin manipulating
the image, it is best to zoom in on the area you are going to work on. This
enables you to see the edges of parts of the picture.
• Use the zoom slider to make your image larger or smaller.
• You can move the red box to focus the area of the picture you wish to
manipulate.
• The whole picture can now only be seen in the profile box (above the
zoom slider).
• Your chosen area of the image is now seen in the centre of your
screen.
One the main tools you will use, is the lasso tool. This can be found in the tool
bar on the left hand side of your screen.
There are three different lassoes that you can use to manipulate your image
(look at the image below). To choose your lasso tool, right click on the lasso.

4. Choose the magnetic lasso tool. You do this by right clicking the lasso tool
and scrolling down:
Once you have selected the magnetic lasso tool you can start to delete parts
of the image you no longer want.
Once this area is selected you can press the ‘delete’ button on your keyboard.
This area will then be deleted.

1. Lasso Tool
2. Polygonal Lasso Tool
3. Magnetic Lasso Tool

5. This tool is best used for removing large areas of an image that does not
require close up editing.
To edit the image smoothly, zoom into an area of the image you wish to edit
using the zoom slider (look at previous pages). Once you have chosen the
area of the image you want to edit, select the magic wand tool.
• Right click
• Select the quick selection tool
This tool allows you to select a large area to be edited closely. Click on the
area you wish to edit with the quick selection tool. This will automatically
select an area which can be deleted using the ‘delete’ key on your keyboard.
This will then give you a close edit of an image.

6. To edit an area that can be difficult due to the closeness of the pixels (the
colours are very similar) you can use the eraser tool.
It is best if you zoom closer to the object you are editing so you can smoothly
edit the image. You can also change the size of the eraser tool by right
clicking you mouse.

7. Your image is now ready to be placed onto another image or document.
Ensure you save the document each time you make a change that you are
happy about.
How to use the edited image with a background
To put the image on a background you need to add a new layer.
The layers are used to enable you to manipulate areas of an image without
changing the work you have already done. The area highlighted in blue is the
‘active layer’. This is the layer that you will be editing.
