Web Page Students

If you are a web page student and have completed all three sections of the Photoshop tutorial program, please follow these steps to complete your first assignment.

1. Find four photos online that have the same general theme (ie: soccer, basketball, painting, music, etc.). All pictures must be either vertical or horizontal.
2. Right click these images and save into your network folder
3. Crop all of these images to 2"x3"or 3"x2" with a resolution of 72 dpi.
4. Place a white stroke 4 pixel wide on the inside of each picture.
5. Create a new canvas by going to file-->new. Make your new canvas 4"x6"if you selected pictures that were composed horizontally or 6"x4" if they were composed vertically. Set your new canvas to a resolution of 72 with a transparent background.
6. Drag each of the four web pictures onto the canvas. Position all of them so they do not overlap. 7. Save your new canvas as a Webstudent.psd. Be sure you select your photography folder your network drive as save location.
8. Flatten your image and save as a jpeg to your network folder.
