Exercise 15: Adjustment panel in Photoshop

Exercise 15
Due 10/24 
50 Points


Class,

My "Uncle" just came back from his trips with a few photos that need to be fixed.

Can you help?

Our next step through Photoshop is to dig into the "Adjustment Panel".  




This is the area most often used when you are asked to clean up a photo or improve a photo that is not up to good quality, for example faded or too dark.  

Go to the following web site and read each section as you work:

You are given the broken file and your goal is the ending photo.  Each photo only needs one change to fix.  (HINT:  Go button by button on the adjustment panel...one button per picture)

Find the original photos in the Shared folder under CMT.



Turn this photo...


...into this
When you change the file, save it under any name on your computer.

Use Adobe Bridge


1.  Make a Contact Sheet II (Tools > Photoshop > Contact Sheet II) in Photoshop.

2.  Save the Contact Sheet as a JPEG and turn in to the Mr. Komar Dropbox as
 period#_lastname_firstname_15x


In Summary:
1.  Read website listed above for how to use Adjustment Panel.
2.  Find the files to fix in the Shared folder.
3.  Fix the files, only one piece needs to be changed on each file.
4.  Save files on computer.
5.  Open Adobe Bridge and turn the fixed images into a Contact Sheet using the Tools for Photoshop.
6.  Save the contact sheet as period#_lastname_firstname_15x.jpg (As a JPEG file).
7.  Turn in the JPEG file to the Mr. Komar Dropbox.


The final picture was taken in Český Krumlov which is part of the Slovak Republic.  Click here to see where it is located.  This site was a stopping point in travels for the Austrian empire.
