Adobe Photoshop 2 • Spring 2012
INSTRUCTOR: Barbara Heiman bheiman@santarosa.edu

Get Out of Fail FreeEach week you should read the assigned tutorial notes through, and watch any associated videos before doing the tutorial steps for the assignment. For those of you who are online, I will be recording my traditional class, and then putting the videos online as soon as I can. It takes some time to render the videos, divide them into topical segments, and upload them.

I've added the Get Out of Fail Free link to this page to make it easier to find. Remember, you can only use it for one week's assignments, and not for quizzes, exams, or the midterm or final projects.

Requirements for starting and ending images:

ORIGINAL FILES: When you are asked to work on your own images, whether digital or scanned, the starting image must be AT LEAST 3 x 5 inches, print size at 300 ppi.

UPLOADING FILES: any file you upload for our class should be EXACTLY 600 pixels in its biggest dimension, and between 85 and 99 kb in size, unless I specify otherwise.

Week 1: Getting Started

1. Class Check-in: Complete the class check-in form on CATE (the SRJC Computer Assisted Teaching Environment).

Beginning on 1/16/12, go to your class Section: Online: 4294 & 8276, Traditional: 6975 and click on the link near the bottom of the page for Check-In. You will be taken to a page where you will need to create a username and password. It is fine to use the same user name and password that you have used for other online classes at SRJC, or you may choose a new user name and password. I will see your user name and password with you student profile.

Once you press the Submit button, I will receive an email stating that you checked in. Within 24-48 hours of your checking in, I will activate your section account so that you can use your your username and password. You will receive email from me when that happens.

If you have not checked in by midnight on 1/25/12 I will drop you.

2. Download course materials.

Go to the resources & videos page and download the PDF the first two tutorials for the course from Practical Photoshop CS5, Level 2, Tutorials 1-2.

Also in the resources & videos page, grab the tutorial files you will need for the course: student-images.zip. When you double click the file, it should automatically decompress into the student-images folder. Inside the folder you will find all the files you will need for the course to complete the guided exercises. The files are organized into folders, one for each tutorial except Tutorial 7, which does not use any starting files. student-images.zip is a big file, almost 76 MB, so if you do not have fast internet you may want to go somewhere that does such as an SRJC computer lab or a library of coffee shop with fast WiFi to download it.

You will need either a current version of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat (or Preview for Mac) to read the online tutorials. If you cannot open the downloaded PDF, go to the Adobe website and download Adobe reader: http://get.adobe.com/reader.

The book is being printed as I write this. Once the books are delivered to the SRJC bookstore I will email all of you to let you know they are in stock. There should be books both in Santa Rosa and Petaluma. For those of you who cannot come on campus, I will also let you know how to order your book online.

3. Obtain all supplies, and software if desired.

The specifics are detailed on the Syllabus page (linked above). Remember, you cannot print course materials or internet information from an SRJC lab.

4. Watch the class orientation video and the assignment 1 video. (recorded last fall)

The videos are in QuickTime (mov) format. You will have better control if you download them first and then view them in the QuickTime player where you can adjust volume and make the viewing window larger if desired. QuickTime is part of the Mac operating system; Windows users can download the most recent version here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl837

5. Complete the instructor intro form.

This is your private course introduction, just to me. If you have any special needs or concerns, you can also tell me about them here. Anything you put in your instructor introduction form will be kept confidential.

Let me know a little about yourself so that I can teach you more effectively. If you are going to use a computer other than the college lab, please tell me the platform (Mac or Windows), operating system, processor speed, and how much RAM is in your system. This is to be sure your computer is capable of running Photoshop CS5.

Any images you upload are behind the college firewall and only visible to me and your classmates. Only I can see your quizzes and worksheets.

6. Register for the Forum.

the Register link

We use the Forum to communicate with one another. The first time you post to the Forum, you will first need click the Register link at the top of the Forum page. You can use the same user name and password for the Forum as for the class check-in or you can use different ones; it is up to you. If you already registered for the Forum in a previous class, you do not need to re-register as long as you remember the user name and password you chose. I cannot retrieve it for you. If you forgot, just re-register.

7. Set up or edit a pre-existing a Forum Digital Signature

I have a lot of students in three different sections, and it is very difficult for me to keep track of you by aliases such as "happy puppy" or "studly." And, one semester, I had two Jennifer A's in my class.

It is a class requirement that you sign each forum post with your full name, but students forget that step--about 50% of the time. So now I require that you create an automatic signature to sign all your posts (unless you already did this for a previous course and your automatic signature still works) or update an existing digital signature which includes your section number, 4294, 6975, or 8276. Here is how to do it:

  1. Log in to the Forum with your Forum user name and password.personal
  2. Click the Personal button at the top of the Forum.
  3. my settingsClick My Settings in the menu on the left side of the dialog box.
  4. Scroll down to the bottom of the window, and type your name in the Signatures box.

    signatures

    If you don't use your full name (some students were reluctant to do that), then please use the first initial of your first name and your full last name plus your section number.

    Here I am using Barbara Heiman, but I could also use B. Heiman. I didn't add a section number, but you MUST. If you are in more than one online section that uses the Forum, then put all sections on your signature, with the name of each course.
  5. Click Save Changes.

    Now each time you post to the Forum, your signature will automatically appear at the bottom of your post.

    And while we are looking at Personal Forum settings, be very careful about the Subscriptions settings. When activated, you will receive an email every time someone posts to your chosen forum. This can really get annoying, expecially when you are still getting emails from next semester's students. If you do choose to subscribe, make sure to unsubscribe at class end.
  6. change forum displayA useful setting to change is the number of topics displayed. The default is 10, which places the initial topics I created for our course on the second page and you need to know to go to the bottom of the topic page and go to the next group. to minimize this problem, in My Settings, change from the default 10 Topics per page to 25. Either way, you will need to scroll down to see the Week 1 thread at the bottom. (So what do you want for free forum software?)

6. On the class forum, in the Week 1 Introductions topic, introduce yourself.

  1. Locate the Forum for our specific section CS 70.11B • Intermediate Photoshop.

    Each time that you post to the Forum, you will need to Log In. Then, introduce yourself to your classmates by replying to the Week 1: Introductions thread. Our class will be much more informative and fun if we keep a lively discussion in the forum. But remember, whatever you post to the forum will be visible to the open Internet. Here is my introduction to all of you:

    ABOUT MYSELF
    My name is Barbara Heiman, and it is fine to call me by my first name. I sign my emails "Barb." I have been teaching in the CS Department since 1990, and have taught a wide range of courses from operating systems and telecommunications to desktop publishing, graphics, and web design including Adobe Dreamweaver. In the summer of 1995, I taught the first CS classes in Photoshop--on version 2.5. I have since developed and taught Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced Photoshop as well as classes in photo restoration and digital archiving. I am Adobe Certified in Photoshop versions 5, 6, 7, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, and CSt, and Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and CS5.

    When I'm not teaching or consulting, my husband and I like to garden, distill essential oils like lavender and lemon grass, hunt wild mushroom (any of you belong to SOMA?), cook, grow grapes, and make red wine (white wine requires a more controlled environment than our garage). We try to keep snails out of our nearly organic garden by collecting kitsch escargot. We also like to watch our electricity meter run backwards thanks to the solar panels on our house and garage. We have four grandchildren six and under. Photoshop gives me lots of opportunities to play with their photos.

    WHAT I HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH
    Encourage you to have a fun and productive semester developing your Photoshop skills.

68. After you have carefully read the course syllabus, looked at the course schedule and the assignment page, and completed steps 1-5 above, take Online Quiz 1 on course mechanics.

      Remember, you need to keep your uploaded files under just 100 kb, with the larger dimension in the Image Size set to exactly 600 pixels. You will lose points if you submit inappropriately-sized files. (Last semester, about 1/4 of the class messed up on tutorial 2 after doing it perfectly for Tutorial 1.) Also, be careful to upload the JPEG version not the large PSD file. I will not continue to remind youafter this week.

    4. Close your original file without saving, and reopen it in Camera Raw.
    5. This time, adjust the image as you feel is appropriate, keeping a brief record of what you did.
    6. Open the adjusted image in Photoshop, and make a Save for Web & Devices version of it named cr-end.jpg.
    7. Upload cr-start.jpg and cr-end.jpg to the Raw Adjustment inbox.
    8. On your own, print your adjusted image. With the varying mixture of online and traditional students, you will not be turning in any printouts.

  2. Using the techniques you learned in Tutorial 6, evaluate this image of my Great Aunt Jo taken in Kenya in 1951.

    Yes, she did know both Louis Leaky and Karen von Blixen-Finecke (pen name Isak Dinesen). For you rose lovers, the Josephine Bruce Rose was named for her. (Bred for England, not Sonoma County. My rose died.)

    This image is so badly faded that I'm not sure I can restore it. Hopefully your family photos are in better shape. I hope to find a better copy somewhere.
  3. Complete the online Image Evaluation Worksheet on the JosephineBruce.jpg image. (5 points)

1. Read and do Tutorial 8: Adjusting Tones and Colors.

The tutorial shows you a variety of ways to adjust both 07-spring.jpg and 06-dark-troll.jpg. Last semester, many student trolls had a yellow/brown cast. That is because very fewstudents looked at the individual channels in Levels to see how far off the blue channel was after resetting the neutral points. Sometimes that is not enough.

Open irises-scr.pdf in Photoshop and resave it as irises.jpg and upload it to the Tutorial 11 inbox. (Save for Web & Devices should allow you to get the file to 1000 pixels wide and your uploaded file can be up to 200 kb.) You need to save twice because the CATE galleries cannot display PDF files. View the Tutorial 11: Color and Shades of Gray Gallery.

3. Begin with the color image of the concrete garden snail, convert it to grayscale, convert it back to RGB and explore different techniques for colorization. When you are done, save snail_rgb2.psd as snail.jpg using Save for Web & Devices and upload it to the Tutorial 11 inbox. View theTutorial 11: Color and Shades of Gray Gallery.

4. Restoration Project

    1. Find an image with damage that you would enjoy working on that is either a grayscale image (think old family photo) or a color one that you will covert to grayscale using the techniques in Tutorial 10. Finally, you will colorize the image.
    2. If one of your own, please send me a low res version as an email attachment (600 pixels in bigger direction, just under 100 kb) by 4/10/12 so that I can approve it before you use it.
    3. If you use your own image without my approval, you risk my deciding it is too easy to fix, and giving you a zero on the assignment.
    4. image size dialog boxIf you use your own image, you MUST begin with a high resolution version of that image, so your project for yourself will be print quality. Your image should be at least 1800 x 1200 pixels landscape, or 1200 x 1800 pixels portrait so that it will print at least 4 x 6 inches at high quality (300 ppi). If you plan to crop it, begin with a larger image.
    5. I encourage you to use your own image, but if you do, it needs to really have problems—both in tone and damage. Otherwise, pick one of these image from the retouch pro site. Click the image to get the full-res version.

    Grandmother's Dodge: http://www.retouchpro.com/challenges/showphoto.php/photo/6561

    Cowboy: http://www.retouchpro.com/challenges/showphoto.php/photo/547

    Or, you can work on my aunt Josephine Bruce and her elephant in Kenya. That will be a real challenge, and you probably will not get it "perfect."

    1. If you used your own image, name it restore-start.psd.
    2. As you work, take brief notes so that you can answer these questions in the Restoration Documentation Form:
      1. What is the subject and origin of your image?
      2. Why can you use it?
      3. Initial assessment: what needs to be fixed and what do you plan to do to enhance the image?
      4. Very briefly, what did you do to repair and adjust your image?
      5. Very briefly, how did you colorize the image?
      6. How did it go? What worked well and where di you have problems?
      7. Any other comments?
    3. Assess the image: what needs to be fixed, and what do you plan to do to enhance it?
    4. Begin by adjusting the tones in the image. Most likely it will be an average key image, so your Histogram after adjustment should have true highlights and shadows.
    5. Use one or more of the techniques you learned to convert your image to grayscale, unless it is grayscale to begin with.
    6. Convert your image back to RGB and colorize it.
    7. Save your completed restoration as restore-end.psd.
    8. If you used your own image, use Save for Web and Devices to save restore-start.jpg and restore-end.jpg using the class standards (600 pixels in the biggest direction etc.).
