At the start of the class we had
to import an image of a poppy into Photoshop. After we did we were taught they
basic reasons why to use Photoshop and in what why.

Tiff’s are good for quality and are

Photoshop is best for
·
Being able Channel 8 bit images
·
Can easily Grayscale and Duotone an image and it
great at marking correction to images of most kinds.
After we when though they basics
of why we than looked at how. We first looked at how to edit the colours of the
image before you fully import it in to Photoshop, this makes it easier to
change they colours and levels of the images.
We than look at using a .vpe to
auto change they focus of the image without trying to do it manually which
saves a lot of time.
Lastly we look at how to put make
a wave in illustrator and put it in to Photoshop while still being connected to
illustrator so that changes could be make.
