Introduction to Photoshop


In the lesson, we went to the computer suite and opened up Adobe Photoshop CS2. We learnt how to edit pictures and layering different imagery onto others, this was the most important thing that we learnt as it is what makes the picture look good, it was really hard to grasp onto at first but after practise it got a lot easier. We took examples from the internet and copied them onto the software. We learnt how to use the drag tool, the spot healing tool this is used to cover any imperfections by taking pixels from around the area and copying them into the centre. The free transform tool, which changes the size of an image. We also learnt about the clone tool, which copies an area which you can paste anywhere else on the page. The dodge and smudge tool, the blur tool which helps blend areas together, the burn tool which give the image or features on the images a reddish burnt effect and the sharpen tool, which sharpens edges. We also learnt about pixels, these are a number of very small picture elements that make up a picture, as on a visual display unit.
