Photoshop CS5 Tutorials

DISCLAIMER
	Everything you see on this page is based on Adobe CS5. We have now upgraded to Adobe CC which inherently looks different and works differently. The general concepts and tools are the same but you're simply going to need to "figure it out."

Introduction To Photoshop
Intro to Photoshop	I purchased this dvd because these people do a much better job than I do teaching the basic functions of Photoshop. Sometimes we'll access videos from this resource. They live in the "Class Resources>Graphic Design 1 Videos" folder on the desktop. That's it. Anytime that you see the blue text (CS5 DVD - Blah Blah Blah) during the following units, you'll use these videos instead of my videos. Now, you'll need to prove that you've read this section and understand the whole "dvd-but-not-a-dvd" concept. Find these videos and point them out to Mr. Eagen to get a stamp sheet and a stamp of completion.

Unit 1 - Screen Modes & Basics

Use only black & white. Use the eraser and paint brush. Show it to Mr. Eagen for credit. Don't have a stamp sheet? Did you read the previous "introduction" section? What is Mr. Eagen looking for? • choosing a screen mode • small brush for small areas • big brush for big areas • zoom way in for small edits • zoom way out for big edits • switching between foreground and background color • use paintbrush and eraser exclusively

Unit 6 - Making Selections
download unit 6 files	Unit 6 Tutorial U6.1 - CS5 DVD - Making Selections - marquee, deselect, marching ants, add & subtract, lasso tools, save selection, quick selection tool, refine edge Unit 6 Assignment - example Follow along and do the balloon and dog activities. You will move the dog so that it covers the balloon image to show the results of the "quick select / refine edge" technique. NOTE 1: "Refine Edge" is now called "Select and Mask" in CC. It's in the same place but they've renamed it since the video was created. NOTE 2: I'm adding something to this guy's tutorial. Select the sky on the balloons and drastically alter the color of the sky (pinks, purples, etc.) with Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation. Move the "hue" slider to change the sky's color significantly. This way, it will be clear that you know how to select the sky and alter colors like you did on previous activities. Also, make sure that the girl/dog is overlapping the balloon so that we can see that you selected the flowing hair of the lady. Show it to Mr. Eagen for credit.

Unit 7 - Selections
download unit 7 files	Unit 7 Tutorials U7.1 - lasso tool U7.2 - polygon lasso & straight selections U7.3 - how to select inverse Unit 7 Assignment - instructions - example - student example 1 - student example 2 Consider this a mini-project. You will use your creativity and newly acquired ninja-layering skills. You are expected to take your time on this one. Make your own creative composite image. Download several photos from the internet (minimum of 2000px...the bigger the better). One should be a main subject (person's face, dog, bottle of maple syrup, etc.) and the others should be some sort of background (Autzen stadium, golf course, stampeding dachshunds, etc.) and foreground elements (falling leaves, grass, snow flakes, fog, etc.). Use selections tools and techniques to combine the images. BE SURE TO USE THE "REFINE EDGE" TOOL! Make it layer on layer on layer (multiple overlapping elements) like the Bieber example, but don't copy the Bieber example! The Bieber file is included as a reference so that you can see how it was done. Show your multi-layered composition to Mr. Eagen for credit.

Extra Credit
	If/when you get to this point then you can browse through these tutorials and find one or two that interest you. You may or may not have already learned some of the techniques or tools that they cover, but if you're at this point then you're likely able to follow along and figure it out. I don't have the exact images that are used in the tutorials. So, just download high resolution image from the intergoogles. Remember how? action zoom blurring effect add a sparkle trail to a photo adding light streaks to a photo add reflections to sunglasses add transparent type to an image burnt edge effect collage of squares dead zone blur streaks effect digital pixel effect easy watercolor painting effect film strip photo collage - part 1 film strip photo collage - part 2 ghosting an image gritty overprocessed photo effect mapping textures to faces old fashioned hand tinted effect retro 3D movie effect simple pop art effect wedding couple in wine glass Or....I've got a couple hundred of these tutorials in a binder. You are welcome to look through it and find one that you'd like to do. Or...are you feeling saucy? How about taking your best shot at your teacher?
