Photoshop Notes / Project #2

-crop photos to 8 by 8 / 300dpi

-save as PSD file, chagne to EPS later on when ready to print

- image => adjust => color balance
red <-> cyan (turquoise)
green <-> magenta
blue <-> yellow

-adjust curve after unlocking image, allowing me to darken or lighten the image. Also allows me to darken or lighten just highlights or just shadows.

-dodge blocks light/ less exposure
-burn opens to more light/ more exposure (darker image)

-sponge tool changes amount of saturation or de- saturation

- highlights ->needs to have some detail (not whited out areas)
mid tones -> should have a good variety of tones/ shades
shadows -> no black out, must have some detail just like highlights
