Overview Scanning in an image Setting resolution Using the pen tool to create selection path Cutting and pasting onto a new layer Naming layers Adjusting levels. Brightness, contrast, colour, saturation Adding horizontal and vertical text Using the pen tool to add text onto a path Using layer blending options (inner glow, outer glow, shadow, gradient)

Pen Tool reminder Select the layer you would like to work on Select the pen tool (see hand out) Click points around the object you want to cut out.
