580 Photography and Image Editing----1 Credit
Photography and Image Editing is a yearlong course designed as an elective for sophomores, juniors and seniors. The concept of the course is to provide students the opportunity to capture and develop their own photographs using Single Reflex Lens (SRL) Digital cameras, then “edit” these images using Adobe PhotoShop. Students taking this course should have passed Intro to Computer Applications. Students will complete a “Capstone Project” where they will develop a portfolio of twenty pictures that have been “captured, developed and edited.” This portfolio will be printed on inkjet quality photo paper and bound. Other class projects may include placing an image on a t-shirt and/or a mouse pad. Image editing topics taught will include the following: 1) Introduction to PhotoShop; 2) Image Editing Basics; 3) Creating and Using Selections; 4) Fill, Paint and Edit; 5) Retouching and History; 6) Working with Layers; 7) Extraction and Masking; and 8) Blending, Styles and Layer Effects.
