Slice Tool

The slice tool allows you to cut an image into sections and create hyperlinks. Think of it like the crop tool but instead of cutting the image down to one picture you are cutting it up into many.

Save for Web

Save for web exports images into a format appropriate for the web. This allows you to create animated gif images as well as actual web pages.

Photomerge

This function will merge multiple images together to create one cohesive image. You can probably do this on your phone.

Actions

Actions allow you to record the steps you perform while in Photoshop and replay them as many times as you like. This is super handy for repetitive tasks.

Batch

A batch process allows you to perform an action on multiple files without having to manually apply them to each. Applies your actions to files as opposed to the image you currently have open.

High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI)

Is the process by which you combine multiple images with the same content but different exposures to create a richer image. This has become super popular and many cameras actually have this as a built-in feature.

The Future:

Digital Imaging is constantly advancing, making it difficult to predict its future. It is important however, to be as current as possible.

• Digital over Print
  • digital albums: instagram, facebook, etc.
  • Advertising is digital: social media, web ads, etc.
  • hipsters: greener, newer/cooler, etc.
• AI Incorporation
  • workflow: it is a tool, like a calculator
  • replacement: faster requires fewer employees, potential clients may use it instead, etc.
• Prosumer Hardware/Software
  • cameras: cell phone cameras are stellar
  • subscription software: software like Canva or Adobe Express
  • templates: premade layouts available online
  • subscription hardware: eventually you may “rent” computers

Final Project:

Your final project may be anything you like. Utilizing Photoshop and the skills you have acquired during class you will produce an image, or series of images that represent a culmination of the course work. When developing a subject matter think about what inspires you, what affects you, what you are familar with; in other words, complete something personal. Your image should be 6 x 9 at 300 ppi. Name your file “yourLastName_assignment13.psd” and submit here.
