PHOTOSHOP LESSON By ENI

Today we had our photoshop lesson on the mac computers. The instructor gave simple facts and different opinions on making photoshop as easy as possible for us. We started by Adding two images to photoshop and dragging them to two different spread sheets.

One of the tools which was going to be crucial to the coming of life of the magazine was the magic wand tool. This tool alowed us to crop many parts of the image that we didnt want. Here we found out that the images we were going to take should be on a one colour background if we wanted to crop the image, prefferably a white background. Cropping wasnt easy, at first we had to crop an image whcih turned out to be very simple. On the second image, panick arose as no-one could crop out the image as they wanted to. This was so we learnt what we had to do with our photos and how to take them.

The other things we learnt about were the fonts and how they needed to be clear to the buyer of the magazin; the way in which the layers needed to be worked; the way in which the photoa overlapped one another,
