We covered a lot of content and different areas this week. Don’t feel bad or worry if you can’t remember all of it (but feel absolutely awesome if you do!), we will go over and come back to some of those topics through the year. In this weeks session, we covered the following topics:

• The Four Main File Types: PNG, JPG, GIF and BMP
• Saving Images as Different File Types in Photoshop CS
• USB Drives - How to Use Them
• File Management
• Searching For Images Using Google

Hi Everyone and welcome to all of you who have joined the Digital Media class this year. I’m sure we are going to have a great time and learn some interesting stuff we didn’t know before hand (myself included!).

My sincere apologies for not having the notes / resources available here earlier, as I said I would. I know that some of you would have appreciated a chance to go over what we covered in class, at home. As noted in my introductory post, I have not created fresh brand new notes for you. Rather I have made available to you, the entire help and tutorial manual for Photoshop CS. For now, I will link directly to the sections related to what we have covered in class. If the help and tutorial documentation is not up to scratch, I will create brand new notes more specific to what we are doing in class.

Saving Images from the Internet

Layers in PhotoshopCS

Below is a link to download Paint.Net (pronounced “Paint Dot Net”). This program is like Photoshop in many ways, but will cost you absolutely nothing! I shall try to incorporate Paint.Net into our future lessons.

Paint.Net. This link will open a new window. When the new window finishes loading, click the link on the right hand side, at the top of the page, underneath the heading “Download Now!”

Remember; I put these links and resources here for your use. So if they are of no use to you, too hard to understand or you feel they are off topic, then please let me know, via any of the communication channels you have with me. I am more then happy to make changes, source better content or even create fresh content from scratch, just for you! You need only ask …. nicely!
