Class Notes 1/25

By now: Jump drives for sure!


Animations

Window->Animation

you now have a time line!

under image set it to "forever", so the animation repeats

within timeline, you can edit the layers

add keyframes by clicking on timeline--they will be golden diamonds

Move the layer on the keyframe, and in between the two keyframes, the layer will move from the first point to the second

Save as->photoshop document (*.psd)

To export:

File->save for web &devices

Set as a GIF

Save as html and images


To make it larger or smaller:

Image->Image Size


*ALWAYS make sure to start with a larger resolution--you cannot add pixels to an image. So when you create a new document, pay attention to the pip!


On screen resolution: 72 pixels/inch (ppi)

Print Resolution: 300 ppi

dpi=ppi


scan through image capture (hit the green button on your scanner)

lossy=bad lossless=great!

jpeg=lossy

tiff=lossless, a good archival image



Homework: Scan 10 items-- each one as a 72 dpi jpeg, and again as a 300 dpi tiff (20 total images) and upload the 72dpi versions to your blog; finish up your pixel animation if you have anything to finish
