Photo shoot Rules

WORK DAY

Day One of the Fence Project

Hopefully by the end of class today you will have a contact added to your fence page on your blog turning in your photo shoot.

You created something called a contact sheet to turn in your photos. Contact sheets go as far back as black and white film. A contact sheet is a good way of looking at your entire shoot at once to decide what photos you want to process.

Photoshop tools we will be using today..
-Basic editing. Contrast/exposure/ levels ect..
-layers
-renaming layers
-Layer masks
-Brushes-- Color picker, arrow and change to black and white
-the bracket keys that look like this [    ] next to the letter p on your keyboard will help to make your brush bigger or smaller.


Step by Step Directions for Photoshop

-At the bottom of the layers panel there is a box with a circle in it---that is the layer mask
