•••Print this page as your weekly semester guide•••
As opportunities arise, I reserve the right to alter the order and to add to or subtract
from this syllabus or weekly semester guide.
This course will introduce students to the basic Adobe Photoshop techniques such as layers, layer masks, color correction and retouching, directed specifically to how it applies to photography, will be explored. We will be using digital camera images. This course can be taken in the same semester as PHO 170. The student must be familiar with computer navigation, saving files, renaming files and using the internet.
The Class
1) Work consistently, don’t procrastinate. Things will go wrong. To get the most out of this class you should plan on working in photoshop every day for the next 15 weeks.
1a) OK this is a jam filled class. don’t wait to get started. Start NOW! NOW! NOW!
2) Have fun, explore, share ideas, have an open mind, be respectful or others, work hard, shoot more. Negativity and sarcasm ruin the class. Constructive opinions are welcome, I am open to opinions that are thought out and expressed appropriately.
3) Because this class is mainly a technical class you will not be getting much aesthetic criticism from me. I will email you if you have a problem with a project and let you know how to improve. If your work fits within the technical parameters you will not hear much from me. But feel FREE to get in touch with me whenever you need to. I check email regularly and will get back to you. Ask questions, let me know what you are thinking. send me links to photographers you like, let me know your successes.
4) Start at the top of the page, week one, and work your way through finals week. Every week is laid out for you to follow. All assignments that are due are in green. Every week you will find Links to the projects to my videos and more to explore. It is your responsibility to keep up and view all information and links on the website.
Please email me at hhprotz@cox.net
Kelby book required: We will be using the target in the back of the book for one of our projects. this is a good reference book also for future PS explorations.

It is a good idea to name your layers for this project or any project you work on. When you are trying to clean up your selections you will have an easier time locating the correct layer.
USEFUL Shortcuts
• command “Z” undo 1 step
• command + ALT + Z to undo multiple times
• command “D” deselect a selection
• press the space bar to bring up the hand tool in any tool you are working with.
• Double click on the Zoom tool will zoom document to 100%
• Use the bracket keys to upsize and downsize your brush
• X to toddle between your foreground and background color
• D to set your foreground/background to black white defaults
• dont forget about scrubby sliders
• when the Move Tool is selected, Opt + Shift + “-” or “+” key allows you to navigate through the blending mode dropdown.
•F (Cycle Screen Modes) — Switch between normal screen, full screen with task bar without title bar, and full screen with black background. Works great when used in conjunction with Tab to hide toolbars — maximum working space, no distractions.
•Cap Locks on shows the cross hair tool tip, Cap Locks off shows the brush size tool tip.

CS5 & CS4 Using Adobe Bridge. There is not an assignment for the bridge. But, this should be the start point for your image editing. This is where you can review, organize, rank, keyword your images. Some of you may be using Lightroom, that is a good start place also. I prefer the Bridge because of my work style. If you are a portrait, wedding shooter Lightroom is Great.

how to: dodge and burn using a layer
Tip:
•Lighten a photo by duplicating the background layer and changing the layer blend mode to screen.
•Darken a Photo by duplicating the background layer and changing the layer blend mode to multiply.
•What happens if after you change the blend mode you duplicate that layer again? if you change the layers opacity?
•Remember you can use a layer mask on the duplicated layer to reveal the original layers density.

Portrait
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.
from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait
Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery http://www.npg.si.edu/
eye contact
explore your composition, use the rule of thirds, do not center your subject in every frame.
move in close, fill the frame with the face of your subject.
move away and use the room to reveal who the subject is.
what are the hands doing? use the hands to direct the eyes. movement around the frame.
Black and white? its digital.
red eye… bounce your flash.
use available light when possible.
avoid backlit scenes.
don’t have the subject looking into the sun. they will squint at you.

We will continue working on the portrait assignment. Practice is how you become a photoshop guru… Remember not every technique is appropriate for every image, working on a second image will give you a chance to practice techniques you did not use on the first portrait. If you started with a woman your next portrait could be a man, child, push yourself.
