Hi everybody. Welcome to this new online version of the Photography class to use while Mission in-person classes are suspended

Back to Canvas

  1. Watch the quick intro video here.
  2. I am now planning on having a brief live online class meeting on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12:40PM during our normal class time. These are also office hours, so you can ask questions.

    Here is a link to recordings of the live meetings
    • I will go over the material for the week and lecture a little bit.

  3. Please check in to the class by posting something to the discussion forum called "General or technical questions forum". I want to make sure everybody is now good to go in the online version of the class. You can post a comment, question, or interesting photography link or even an image. Please try to comment by Friday night, and try to have a nice weekend :).
  4. For turning in Assignments in Canvas:
    To turn in assignments with multiple files or folders, it works best if you put all files in a folder and zip the folder. To zip a folder on a PC, create a folder with your name on it like this firstname_lastname_assignX and put the files needed in it, then right click, select "send to", and finally "compress (zipped) folder". On a mac, control click or right click on the folder and select "compress". Name the folder before compressing it, so I can see who's it is when it is uncompressed.
  5. Here is a new video on exporting images from Bridge 2020 that you can use when you have to resize images to turn them in.
  6. Here is a new video on Renaming Files in Bridge and Submitting Assignments in Canvas and turn them in.

Change the pixel dimensions at the top of the dialog box. Make sure resample image and constrain proportions are checked at the bottom of the dialog box.

Do not try to turn in the assignment with smart objects in it as it will probably be too big. You probably will have to use regular layers. Download compositing assignment examples here.

    The Convert to Grayscale button has been removed from the HSL panel in Camera Raw, so some of the workflow is not applicable from the Kelby Book section on converting to black and white if you are using the newest version of Photoshop/Adobe Camera Raw. A new method using Profiles to convert to BW was added in version 10.3 of Adobe Camera Raw. You can see details on the blog here, and BW conversion profiles are described in this video. Black and white is discussed at about 5:30 into the video.
