Chapters 6,7,and 8

           In chapter 6, I learned how to save files from Photoshop into four different formats. These formats are PSD, TIFF, PNG, and JPEG. I also learned that each format has a different file size for each format.
           In chapter 7, I learned about brightness and contrast, and how it greatly effects a picture. The brightness makes the photo more see able, and the contrast gives the photo a more bold, almost saturated look. 
           In chapter 8, I learned how to balance colors in a photo. Photos have sort of a color scheme, and I learned that you can the color of a certain photograph by using the hue/saturation filter, and by using camera raw, which has a better effect on balancing colors.

Chapter 1, 2, and 3 Summary

                In chapter 1, it explained mostly about how to open images from a Windows and a Mac into Photoshop. You go into the finder icon, and double-click on the image if it is connected to photoshop. Also, I learned how to open an image from photoshop by pressing "command" and "o." I also learned how to close images by saving it to my desktop or finder, and closing Photoshop.

                In chapter 2, it explained about how to zoom in and out using the mouse, and that the closer you get, the more the pixels show because there is low resolution. The zoom tool makes it easier to get in an image without having to squint your eyes or try to eyeball it. Also, I learned to scroll to zoom in and out so I won't have to click on the zoom tool as much. I learned to switch between different images in Photoshop by clicking the tabs at the top of the program. The only bad thing is you can only work on one image at a time.

                In chapter 3, I learned about how pixels work, and that they are tiny squares of color making an image. When you zoom in very closely on an image, for example 500%, you can see the little squares that you couldn't see when you looked at the image at 100%. I   also learned how to downsample an image to print by reducing the pixels for printing. I learned up sampling is way different than downsampling because it's making more pixels instead of reducing it. 

Space Tiger

Selecting the space image on Google Chrome, and pasting it in the background. Looked for images of angel wings online, and selected the areas that needed to be selected, and made it the foreground behind the tiger. I also changed the color by clicking the wings layer twice, and put a gradient over it, lowering the opacity a little bit. I selected and pasted the tiger on the front and made it ave more contrast.
