On Thursday afternoons, we now have basic Photoshop skills lessons. This is very good news as I only know how to edit RAW pictures, rather than looking at editing, adding text, making posters, etc. I won't be including the very basic and common sense side menu which is pretty straightforward and I already know where most things are.
I was the only person from my course that turned up which was a shame (plus a few Production Design students). We looked at making business cards as well as the basic tools like the magic wand, text, layers, etc. The history tool is particularly helpful so you can see where you have made a mistake and delete it.
Holding shift while drawing using the pen tool draws a straight line. The layer tools can also edit text by adding outlines (edit then stroke) and also a nice embossing effect (bevel and emboss). You can also drag documents from the tab menu and put them into other documents. Holding the shift key while selecting can make you select specific areas.
Going into select then transform will bring up the resize options. Free transform will resize the image and holding shift will keep the dimensions.
Next week we will be looking at images and editing them which will be useful for everyone in our year for making posters.
