Photoshop Skills #4: Filters

Filters allow you to modify photos in a number of ways with predefined Photoshop settings. You'll need to use this link to help you start; it has the file mentioned in the "Your Job" section... the instructions can be helpful, too (or you can use the 'Help' feature built in to our version of Photoshop).

Your Job:
Part #1: Find a photo that includes you from the >Public >Yearbook folder. Use the file from the link above to use filters to modify your photo as indicated.

Not all pictures on the Web are created equal. Copyrighted images and non-copyrighted images both are searchable by Google; in a business setting, choosing the wrong one can get you in legal trouble. The website Creative Commons lets you search pictures/video/audio files that others have purposely allowed users to upload for 'free' (just give the creator credit).

Part #2: Use the Creative Commons site to find an image of your idea using the theme below:
   Theme:  "What Summer Means to Me..."

then:
      > add ANY 4 filters that make the photo appear 'dreamlike'
           (as it is a future event that you are wishing for...) and save
           all the photos in 1 file


Again, make sure to save 2 files for each 'part' (one PSD and one JPEG).
