Questions

Question One: What are the three types edits that we have learned and in what order did we complete these edits for the Frame within a Frame project? Why do we edit photographs in this order?

Levels/Curves, photo filter and then Masking

Levels/curves helps us balance the photos' light balance before we edit the photos balance

Photo filter corrects the white balance

masking allows us to correct exposure in areas of the photo and also allows us to create a focus point using a frame

Question Two: What are the “quick keys” for: Move Tool, Crop Tool, Brush Tool, Text Tool, and Mask Mode. We did not go over the “quick keys” for Mask Mode in class, find the answer through your own research.

Move tool (V)

Crop tool (C)

Brush tool (B)

Text tool (T)

Mask mood (Q)

Question Three: What are the “short-cuts” for Select-All, Inverse-Selection and Deselect-Selection. (Ctrl + ?, if you work on a PC, or Command + ?, if you work on a Mac.)

Select all; Ctrl shift

Inverse selection; Ctrl Shift I

Deselect selection; Ctrl + D

Question Four: Write all the steps necessary to create vignetting. Do not forget to write what Brush Mode we use, and what percentage of opacity, hardness and flow we use to paint the mask.

• You need to select the brush tool (B) and adjust the size of the masking tool the circle should be equal on both sides for example;

You then click the cookie button on the bottom of the layers tool and click curves
Then add then adjust the curve that best advances the photo.


Question Five: When you open a JPEG in Photoshop, how many layers do you start with, and what are they / is it called?
JPEG images should only have one layer, because they need to be flattened for printing.

Question Six: Which of these buttons on your Layers palette do you press to make a new edit layer (curves, levels, color balance, etc.)? Which of these buttons do you use to delete a layer?

The trash can icon, to delete the layer you drag the action to the trash can and automatically the computer erases the action.

Question Seven: How do you “turn off” a layer / make it invisible?

Beside the action in the case background there is an eye, this allows you to see what affect the action has on the image and if you do no longer wish to use this action you simply drag it to the trash can.

Question Eight (Extra Credit): Find a poorly Photoshopped image on the web a la the NYT article we read in class. Post it to your blog, and explain what went wrong.
