Answer: PC formatted disk is best. It will run on our lab's Macs with little difficulty, but you must follow the following naming convention on all files. When you are on the Mac, save files as if you were on your PC running DOS. Use no more than 8 characters, and follow the name with a three letter extension. .psd stands for Photoshop Document. Photoshop files are layered files in the native application. They will open correctly on both PC and Mac running Photoshop. .jpg stands for JPEG, which is a flat image in RGB. Remember, PC disks will run in a Mac machine, but a Mac formatted disk will not run on a PC unless the PC is equipped with a software utility called "MacOpener." But if you use a PC formatted disk, and name your files correctly, they will open fine on both platforms. Remember, NO SPACES in the files names. Your Memory of a Lifetime project! We will be embarking
on a major project as part your participation in this class, and you must
begin collecting objects for photography which will be part of a "Memory
of a Lifetime" print you will develop in Photoshop. Go to the following URL to see some examples (Memories) and begin thinking of what you want to feature in your project. You need one overarching theme (you, your parents, a sister or brother, grandparents) around which you will build your project. Think three-dimensional objects... pins, badges, buttons... and think about a textured surface for your background. Incidentally, you may create your own texture in Photoshop... one which may involve a photograph, so we can always keep our options open. |

Current Deliverables: We are working on our Memories piece which will count for about half your total grade. It is a project that will demand everything you've learned and will continue to learn about Photoshop. Two more class projects are also your responsibility: The PostCard The Caricature These will be in-class projects which will demand a little creativity but a lot of applied knowledge of PhotoShop.

Digital Photo Session at My Studio We've had our first Digital Photography session to prepare our materials for our major class projects, and it went extremely well. We shot nearly 400 photographs and they are all on the Web: I divided the libraries into four volumes. Instructions: Once you see the thumbnail library, you can click on the photo you want to download, and once the larger JPG image appears in your browser window right click on it (on the Mac click and hold). You will have the option of copying the file into Photoshop or saving it to disk. |
