GRM23-Haberman Week 1

We begin the process of learning how to capture images and manipulate them in Photoshop. Discussion and hands-on exercises explore:

  • Digital cameras
  • Photoshop’s work environment
  • Color Modes/Models
  • Resolution – ppi, dpi, lpi
  • Masks & Simple Selections
  • Tools & Palettes
  • Brushes
  • Color Picker
  • Introduction to layers
  • Printing from Photoshop overview

Using techniques reviewed in this week’s class, create a self-portrait and attach it to your email attendance. You are required to submit an image with each class attendance email. The images should be representative of the work you did in class during each session. Your images do not have to be complete, and they will not be graded until the folders are turned in.

  1. The image attached to attendance demonstrates that you participated in classroom exercises and activities.
  2. The images indicate you are practicing what you are learning.
  3. The images help to identify your email in a unique and personal manner.
