Layer Basics

Layer Basics Tutorial

Ashton Brass

Open an image

·         Good idea once it is open to view the size of the image  - check resolution (180 is best for our projects)

 

Create a duplicate layer- A couple of ways to do this:

·         Menu tab>  Layer >duplicate layer

·         Go to layer and right click and select >duplicate layer

 

Make sure you open two different images you would like to use for practicing the basic tools explored in class.  Tools we explored are eraser,magnetic lasso, magic wand, modes- opacity and effect filters.

You can save some of your examples as jpegs to show what clever and funny illusions you created.

 

Have fun exploring but complete the figure photo shoot for class Monday.  Place  10 images on Skydrive.  Label images figures name.
