Hello my lovely students! I am not with you today (*sniff*), but that does NOT mean you shouldn't be PRODUCTIVE!!!
You have a few options.
Number 1--finish any blog articles that you have not done. The Mini Assignments (selection tools, transformation, and 6 layers), and the enhanced photograph. This is the option you want to take to CATCH UP IF YOU NEED TO!
Number 2--Make serious plans about who/where you plan on shooting tomorrow. We will be shooing PORTRAITS and converting them to BLACK AND WHITE. Write a blog article about your plan, where you want to shoot, what the lighting conditions will be. What will be in the background, etc.
Number 3--check this link: http://www.myjanee.com/tuts/filter/filter.htm (I found it at home, so I'm hoping it isn't blocked--if it is, do a google search for photoshop filter tutorials.) Play around with filters on your photographs that you have taken so far. There are a lot of fun artistic filters that do cool things to photos. The liquify filter is probably the most fun.
Be good for the sub please! Show him or her your work.

Your first blog entry will probably look similar to this one (although maybe without such a tall subject).

This photograph was taken by Diego and processed by Mr. B
Upload your 1st photo to your blog. Remember that the LARGEST SIDE should be 640 pixels.
Answer the following questions in your blog article:
1. What is the most successful part of your photograph?
2. What is the least successful part of your photograph?
3. If you were to shoot a similar photograph in the future, what would you do differently?

You can add all of your images into one single blog article, or you can choose to put them each in separate articles.
For each article, include the image with the following comments:
Describe how you created the image.
Tell about what tools you used in Photoshop.
Explain if there is anything you could have done better, or improved for next time.
Describe what you think you could do in the future, given what you have learned in this class so far.

Saving Your Files For the Web

The first thing you need to do is resize your image. Go to Image>Image Size…
This menu will open:
THE NUMBERS IN THESE IMAGES WILL PROBABLY BE DIFFERENT THAN YOURS!!!
You’ll need to first change the resolution to 72 pixels/inch. This is the correct resolution for computer screen display.
Next, change the larger number between the width or height to 640 pixels. (In this case the width was originally 1024 and the height was 768, so the width was changed to 640.) Whichever number is smaller will automatically change. When done with this step neither number should be larger than 640.
Next, go to File>Save for Web…
When the Save for Web menu opens up, make sure to choose the JPEG option as indicated in the above graphic. Next, click that small triangle button that is circled above and choose "Optimize to File Size..."
This opens the “Optimize to File Size” menu. Put the value 300 in this window and click ok. (note: this image currently has the wrong number in it)
Click the save button.
In the save menu, name your file appropriately. You should get in the habit of writing “web” before your file names, so that you know this is your smaller resolution web file.
Make sure you save your file in your G: DRIVE!
When you close your image, Photoshop will ask you if you want to save changes. CLICK "NO"!!! You don't want to save the sizing changes to your original file size!

Photography 1-2 Final

This blog post should be longer and more in depth than most of your previous posts. You have now had a full semester of photography class, so please show what you’ve learned by writing thoughtful, intelligent blog articles.
Scan and post one of your black and white photographs.
First off, describe your black and white photograph and the process you took to shoot it.
What is the most successful part of your photograph?
What is the least successful part?
What will you do differently next time (shooting, printing)?
What have you learned so far about the 35mm film shooting and printing process?
Next, describe for me the following:
What are the similarities between 35mm SLR photography and the digital point and shoot photography that we did earlier in the semester (list at least three)?
What are the differences (again, try for three)?
What are the advantages to shooting in film over digital?
What are the disadvantages?
Is there anything that you can do with film that you cannot do with digital or vice versa?
Lastly, which of the two styles of photography do you prefer (so far) and why?

Check out this blog article by IVAN in Cartooning and Animation. His self portrait turned out fantastic!

1) On a scale of 1-10, I feel my Rotoscope turned out amazing. I'll give it a 9 because apparently it doesn't look like me. When we first took the pic, this is exactly what I had in mind. Photoshop is raw!!
2) The most successful part of my Rotoscope is the lightning all over the place. It was basically my background.
3) The color of my clothes could use some rendering. I went with simple gray and black colors which don't make me look powerful or superhero like.
4) It would be a lot easier because I would not spend as much time using the pen outline. I'm getting quicker and used to the pen tool.

On a scale of 1-10 how do you feel your Photoshop Rotoscope turned out?
What is the most successful part of your self portrait?
What could use improvement?
If you were to do an animation using rotoscoping as a technique, how do you feel this project helped you?
