Module 4 - October 4, 2010

This week...
 * we will be creating a collage using different images;
 * we will learn how to blend those images together using the gradient tool;
 * if we have time we will talk about resolution and how to change resolution to use on the web;
 * we will also start using Box.net to upload assignment (.psd) files.

These are the photos we will use in class: [|olympic] [|matterhorn] [|eiffel] [|germany]

Here is the handout: [|Creating a Collage.pdf] Send me an email so I can add you to our shared folder to upload your assignment files.

Photoshop Elements does not have a Layer Mask button, so we have to create a "fake" layer mask. For those of you that are using Photoshop Elements at home, here are the instructions for you: [|Creating a Collage in Photoshop Elements.pdf] I also created a video that's basically the animated version of the handout. media type="file" key="Collage_pse.wmv" width="300" height="300"

Create your own collage using a background photo and only __two__ other photos. Originally I had said three, but I think two will be enough. Save the file as a .psd, and then copy the .psd onto a USB drive and bring it to class Monday night. We will work on it then. Everyone must bring this .psd file to class on Monday...that's your grade!
