Photoshop Functions

In the class, we were asked to follow a tutorial to be able to create the image that is shown beneath. The tutorial thought about new skills and functions that most of us had never used before. What I found useful in this tutorial was the fact that the method was very easy to follow. Whilst I was going through the tutorial I thought that it wasn't as hard to achieve the desired settings. However, when I had to do adjustments to the curves and the way I placed the images, it was very hard to achieve the exact same result as in the video, so it was very frustrating at times. I believe that I was able to do pretty much everything without any problem.

Some areas that I could bring into my personal project may be the use of the blending effect to merge two photos together with ease, as well as using the curves function to apply different tones into the image and so therefore making it seem calm and peaceful. Other functions that I learnt to use in this tutorial that I found very useful were the ones of altering the Brightness and Contrast as well as Hue and Saturation which I had already seen before. All of the functions mentioned will help me in my project to make it surrealist but not really insane or out of my mind. 

Masks and Channels

1. What is the benefit of using a quick mask?

2. What happens to a quick mask when you deselect it?

3. When you save a selection as a mask, where is the mask stored?

4. How can you edit a mask in a channel once you've saved it?

5. How do channels differ from layers?



1. The benefit of using a quick mask is that you can paint the image black or white, so you can view specific parts by hiding masks and deleting unwanted parts.

2.When the quick mask is deselected, it disappears.

3. When you save a selection as a mask, the mask is stored in a channel.

4.You can edit a mask in a channel once you have saved it by changing its colour to black white or grey.

5. Channels differ from layers because layers are used to separate parts of an image, whilst channels are used to store saved selections.

The College Councelor

Dear Mark,

I have received your consent and I will be willing to provide you with some college advice. Firstly, I have to say that you need to improve your digital reputation..since I found some shocking things about you. 

After Google-ing you,I could tell not only what kind of person you are, but how you act. When I searched your name in Google, a news report came about, it talked about a time when you had gotten into a fight with a police-officer after driving drunk. Things like this can affect the impression you give to the College you want to apply for. 
I have to warn you that even though, you may have the best grades at school or the best conduct, that isn't the only thing that matters, how you act outside of school also counts and can end up ruining your college life. 

Let me tell you about this student, who was the best student at IB (International Baccalaureate) ,two year ago..I am pretty sure you have heard about him..Richard Smith. 

He was considered one of the brightest minds in this school for over a decade. But that didn't mean he had the best life after living school. After being accepted to Harvard, he became an alcoholic due to the high levels of stress he had. So, he was expelled from the University, and no other University wanted to take him in. Now he works as a Janitor for the Peterson Mall.

Please, think this trough and do what's best from now on. 


Yours Sincerely,

Camila Andino (College Councelor)

BAD DIGITAL PROFILE

Google and Me

MYSELF

When I googled my name, I found that my twitter account was displayed there. I believe that this isnt a good thing, since basically anyone could look at my profile and what i am doing. I would take some measures to make my information safer and protecting it.

Maybe in the future I might need to be searchable, so that I can become known in companies and when applying to a job,I have access to many contacts. However, what I think is that the things that can bee seen in the internet about myself should be based on any rewards, prizes, maybe good things I have done, not access to my personal information.

Questions Homework

Questions:

1. How do you think you'll be using tech at school this year?
2. What are you interested in learning about?
3. How can you bring your personal skills/interests into your school work?

Answers:

1. I believe that this year I will be using technology as a tool to support me when doing my homework and at the same time learning. As well as this I believe it will help me when doing videos or editing certain images.
2.  This year, I am intrested in learning about video and image editing..using programs like photoshop (not only the basics) Also how to place various videos together and edit them using: Cyberlink Power Director 10, TMPGenc 4.0 and Lightworks. Also I would like to learn how to change the type(format) of a video..for instance from an .wlmp video file to a format that I can open in windows media.
3. I could bring my personal interests/ skills to my school work by maybe trying to use the things that Iknow I am somehow good at our like to do and applhying them to my work. For example, I could use some of the skills I have from Photoshop to create posters or things for homework. Maybe use my excel skills to present science investigations in computer-typed form.
