Today's Notes

While these won't be graded until the 3rd grading period of the semester, there were some notes taken about basic "darkroom" techniques.
Before anything else, remember, SUBTLE SUBTLE SUBTLE ... seriously, I can't stress that enough in regards to burning and dodging.

Make sure to create a new layer for burning and one for dodging by option clicking on the new layer icon in the bottom of the layers palette.

Choose your default colors; choose your brush tool; make sure the opacity is BELOW 20%.
Make several passes to lighten and darken the necessary areas.

Of course the notes in class are more specific, but these will be the first of the notes for the last grading period of this semester.

Wow, 1/3 of the way through the year (nearly)!
