1. Go over HW. Show Erin the layered TIFF on your computer, then save as a JPG, name file as your_name.jpg and place on the Transfer drive
2. Camera Raw Overview
Sliders to pay attention to: top 5
Special Attention to White balance
Special Attention to blue text at bottom (make sure you process at 300dpi)
Batch Save Images
3. 72 vs 300 DPI/ Resolution
4. 300dpi Lo-res Saving: SCRIPTS: With a folder of images, using “Scripts” (FILE > SCRIPTS > IMAGE PROCESSOR) in Photoshop, create a folder of lo-res jpgs appropriate for online use (approx 800x800 pixels, sRGB color profile). Take note of the file size (in Megabytes) of the hi-res images vs. lo-res images.
5. 72dpi LO- Res Saving: SAVE FOR WEB: automatically saves everything as 72 dpi
6. Test out one of the lo-res web size images you’ve made in Photoshop. Try enlarging it to approx 8x10” in size, as if you were going to print it. How does it look?
**You can convert Big to small, but you CANNOT convert small into BIG!!! (kind of like a haircut…once it’s gone, it’s gone)
7. Image size vs. Canvas Size: Open up a large TIFF in Photoshop. Go to FILE > IMAGE SIZE. Change the file to web size by no dimension longer than 800 pixels. Notice how one size is dependant on the other*. This is the “long” way to change each image into web size. Now make the canvas size. Now, once side is not dependant on the other, you can make the length of each side whatever you wish, and empty space will fill in the void. Add a white border around your image, making it approx 1000x1000px, centered.
8. Quiz
9. Questions/ Demos/ Open lab to work on your own images using the tools we’ve gone over.
