Go to today’s date on the class schedule on my website, find where it says “Image 1 and Image 2 you will need today.” Right-click on the word Image 1, choose “Save Target As,” save the file (with the same name) in the “Photoshop Studio Assignments” folder you made yesterday. Then do the same with Image 2. Use Photoshop’s File Browser to open the IMG_0572.JPG file. –Continue getting familiar with the Photoshop workspace. –Check the image’s size and resolution (Image --> Image Size…). –Crop the image to a size and resolution where someone could make a 4x6 or 6x4 inch print (you choose the orientation: portrait or landscape). –Check the image’s Histogram. –Use Levels and Curves to “fix” the exposure issues. –Save your fixed file as “Baby.jpg” in the same folder. Then do the same (yellow steps above) to the IMG_7463 photograph, but make it a 5x7 or 7x5 and name it “Dog.jpg”.
