Common Tools

4. Crop Tool: The crop tool is used to cut off a portion of your photo. This is one possible way to make a photo smaller. There are other options which allow you to resize the image as you crop. The crop tool is one of the few tools that doesn’t have any hidden tools beneath it.

5. Lasso Tool: The lasso tool is used to select a specific part of a photo. Use this tool to draw a shape on your photo, which will form a selection marquee (sometimes called “marching ants”). Now any adjustments you make will only affect this portion of the photograph. When you click and hold this button, several other selection tools are displayed, which give you varying methods of making your selection.

6. Text Tool: The text tool is pretty intuitive. It allows you to add text to your image. The text tool can be used in one of two ways. You can click once on your image using the text tool to type lined text, or you can click-and-drag in order to create a text box which allows you to format the space your text occupies. Any text placed on your image will become part of your image once you save the document for Web publication.

7. What buttons do you push on the keyboard (for a Mac, not PC) to "UNDO" a mistake you made?
Control and z or command and z

8. What can you open to "undo" more than one mistake? How do you open it?

9. What is a histogram and why is it useful?

Rotating Heading

10. How do you rotate an image?


11. If you don't like the initial cropping box you drew, how can you change it before you make your crop?


12. Under the heading "Resizing while Cropping" when you enter dimensions as you crop, what are you telling Photoshop to do as you crop your image? HINT: it involves ratios.

For Printing

13. What is the correct resolution for newsletters and newspapers?


14. What is the correct resolution for magazines?

FAVORITE MAGAZINE COVER

"The Walking Dead, the most popular drama on cable television, also happens to be filmed exclusively in metro Atlanta. Which made the show a no-brainer (no pun intended) for our cover. We reached out to the films' stars— Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus—months in advance, hoping we could shoot them right in our own backyard. Naturally the only time their schedules overlapped was 2,500 miles away in Hollywood, so we organized a last-minute shoot there, hiring not just stylists and makeup artists for the subjects, but also body part models whose hands were zombified by a special makeup artist. We originally envisioned one cover with both Lincoln and Reedus, but once photographer John Russo shot them individually, we knew we had to do a split run. It was the right call; the show's rabid fans are still contacting us from around the world, wanting us to mail them both covers." - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contest/past-winners-finalists/2014-winners-finalists#sthash.3Su1SPAW.dpuf
