New Do Reviews 1-3


Followed all the tasks in Review 1-3. Most of it I knew, though I did pick up a few keyboard commands I didn't know. It also helped remind me of navigating around a mac. I have a PC at home and have used PCs at most of my art jobs - (believe it or not)

Here is the image I worked on of Ma and Pa from exercise 3. I don't know if we needed to post it, but what the heck...

What ARE my goals?


Woo... well it took a bit, but I got the blog up and going. The tough part was the whole MEID password and Maricopa .edu stuff. - yuck! Anyway...


GOALS

I'm pretty good at Photoshop, but there is STILL so much to learn on it! I really want to learn more of the detailed functions like using history to repeat actions, and how to make it work more smoothly with In-Design and Dreamweaver. Can you really make useful webpages with Photoshop that work with Dreamweaver or is that just a rumor? I want to find out. Among other things.


What else can Photoshop do that I don't know about? Plenty. Hopefully I'll pick up a few things along the way.

Above is a sample of some of my photoshop work, (mostly so I can test out posting a photo on the blog) I took a picture of a painting from the 1500's which was covered in varnish cracks and age. I removed the cracks and color adjusted it to attempt to "restore" the image to what it might have looked like when it was orginally painted. (Click on the image to see it in full size)

That's Art Talk for today! See ya in class!
