That's A Wrap!

Well, English 201 is officially over, as is this semester. I finished with finals yesterday, and boy, does it feel good to be officially entering summer. Even though this blog was started for this class, perhaps I'll continue to post on it. Only time will tell though.

Photoshop 2

Yesterday, I attended the software training workshop for Photoshop 2. I already have had a bit of experience with Photoshop, and I thought the second class would be best for me. In the class we first went over how to make different adjustments to photos. This included tinkering with brightness, contrast, hue and saturation, among other things. We then worked on making a composite document from separate pictures. We went over how to cut out different pictures and mess with the transparency of layers so multiple images could be seen. We also used the great new Photoshop tool that is the Healing Brush. It allows for blemishes or other unwanted details to be easily removed from a photo. I think Photoshop is a very useful skill. It will help me with the final project for creating my site header. Also, it will be useful for editing the photos that I plan to put on the site. Besides for this class, having Photoshop skill will be a great asset for my future. It would come in handy for personal projects, and I could also see myself doing graphic design work at some point in my future. This was definitely a helpful class, and I look forward to taking more of these training workshops in the future.
