Photoshop
L/O: to know basic photoshop tools
To be able to practice manipulating
photos using tools
Basic info & tips
• Pixel based program
• Good photos =
– Good lighting
– High resolution is best
• Always make sure you save as JPEG/TIFF
• Photoshop can’t fix really bad photos
– i.e. really underexposed (really dark) will be really grainy – can’t fix this
• Tools are to AID, when they become too much – photos will look
fake and unrealistic – don’t let special effects become special
DEFECTS – there is a fine line!
• PHOTOSHOP IS A HUGE, COMPLEX program, it will take time and
practice to learn!!!!
• Watch tutorials online!
Other photo editing programs
• iPhoto
• Many, many other apps (and free) on smart phones
• Picmonkey (website)
http://www.picmonkey.com/

google search…..

you know?
