Lessons have been assigned to them based on their diagnostic test results both in Math and Reading. Within each lesson are brain break games. The district is pushing a goal of 45 minutes per week on Online Lessons in ELA and 45 minutes per week in Math to close the gaps found in the diagnostic. Math and ELA are providing some of that time during the week, but not all.
Get to know Photoshop!
What you NEED to know!!!!
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Adobe Photoshop
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Adobe Photoshop, computer application software used to edit and manipulate digital images. Photoshop was developed in 1987 by the American brothers Thomas and John Knoll, who sold the distribution license to Adobe Systems Incorporated in 1988.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different tools and techniques and gradually show your success!
Combining Images in Adobe Photoshop
One of the most powerful aspects of Adobe Photoshop is its ability to combine images to form imaginative composites.
Add Texture to an Image
Create a textured look with blend modes.
We need to grab a file first!
Click the Ps Image on the left!

This will save the file to your Arts & Media folder!
Quick Tip! After you click the download button, notice on the top right corner the download should appear...simply click the file to open!

(or File: SAVE AS)
Save to YOUR COMPUTER!
Click the Save on Your Computer button
On the left click THIS PC
Select Desktop
Select Arts and Media Folder
Name the document:
"First Name Last Name BLEND2"
Click SAVE
Add texture to an Image
Create a textured look with blend modes
With the file open, make sure you have selected the TEXTURE layer
(Look for the Blend Mode pull down...it should read NORMAL)
Using the Blend Mode dropdown in the Layers panel, try each different settings
Photoshop with blend the textures and colors in the TEXTURES layer with the background layer (or whatever layer is underneath)
SHORTCUT!
Select the Move tool (technically you aren't moving anything, it is just the tool this will work with)
To cycle through blend modes, hold down the SHIFT +key on the keyboard as you press the PLUS (+) key on the keyboard
What happens?
OPACITY
If the effect is too strong, you can adjust the textures opacity in the Layers Panel
Try adjusting the opacity!
TRY ALL THE BLENDS
Now try each blend until you match the image to the left!
To get credit you must figure out which Blend this is!
Press Ctrl + S to SAVE!!! Do this often!
SHOW ME ON YOUR SCREEN!!
Do NOT close PHOTOSHOP!!!
Replace a background using a layer mask
Use a layer mask to replace one background with another.
2. We need to grab a file first!
Click the Ps Image on the left!
Left click the DOWNLOAD button on the top right
This will save the file to your Arts & Media folder!
SAVE (as) YOUR DOCUMENT!
Shortcut: Shift + Ctrl + S
(or File: SAVE AS)
Save to YOUR COMPUTER!
Click the Save on Your Computer button
On the left click THIS PC
Select Desktop
Select Arts and Media Folder
Name the document:
"First Name Last Name PENCIL"
Click SAVE
Moving layers
In the file there are 2 layers. We need the "Replace Background" layer to be on the bottom
But we can't do this because the Background layer is a LOCKED layer
Unlocking the Background Layer
Double (Left) click the locked Background layer and give it a new name
In the dialog box, rename the layer PENCIL
Click OK
Notice the layer is no longer locked and has a new name
Press Ctrl + S to SAVE!!! Do this often!
Move the layer
Now you can click and pull the Replace Background layer BELOW the Pencil layer
Release your mouse when you see the double line below the Pencil layer
Quick Selection
Select the PENCIL layer in the layers panel
Then go select the Quick Selection Tool
Click and drag over the background (behind the pencil) to select it
OR!
Click Select>Select Subject!
Instead of using the Quick Selection tool, we could have clicked Select>Subject!
(there are many ways to do things in Photoshop!!!)
Create a new Layer Mask...
Now go to the Layers Panel and click the Add Layer Mask Icon
Remember, where the layer mask is black, it hides the content
"Black conceals, White reveals"
Notice the white keyline around the MASK...that means the MASK is selected!
Fine tuning a Mask
Now, with the layer mask still selected, go to the SELECT menu (top) and choose Select and Mask
That opens the image with the mask applied here in the special select and mask space (just like when we were fine tuning a selection)
How we view...
In the View Mode area under Properties click the dropdown menu
Select ON LAYERS
On Layers allows us to see exactly how the pencil will look against the background layer as we adjust the mask
Global refinements
Try smoothing the edges with the Smooth slider
Add Contrast with the Contrast slider
And pull in the edges with the Shift Edge slider
Keep FEATHER at 0...but try by moving the slider to the right...what happens??
When you are happy with the refinement, scroll down
Under OUTPUT SETTINGS:
Make sure the Output To has LAYER MASK
Click OK
Press Ctrl + S to SAVE!!! Do this often!
What does the Link Icon in between mean?
Notice there is a LINK icon between the Image thumbnail and the Layer Mask thumbnail in the Layer Panel on the Pencil layer?
That means that if we were to move the Pencil Layer the Layer mask would move with it...
Move the Pencil Layer
Select the MOVE TOOL
Click on the Pencil (in the image not the layer) and drag it to the right
Press Ctrl + S to SAVE!!! Do this often!
