When attempting to do anything in Photoshop or any other computer application, one of the best resources is right under your fingertips. LITERALLY!!! That's right, the computer. The internet. ONLINE! There are so so many fantastic (and not so fantastic) tutorials out there that are just waiting for you to learn from them.
Your task right now is to find one that will be useful to you for this digital surrealism project and share it with your colleagues.
1. Find a tutorial that you can use and that works well. (Remember that we are using CS2 at the moment and so your tutorials should be for this version of Photoshop)
2. Read through it and try it out with some sample images.
3. Post your results and give the following information in your posting
a. The before/after images
b. The link (hyperlinked!) in your posting AND start a links list if you haven't already and add this link to the links list. Make sure you title it effectively so readers will know what it is.
c. Was this tutorial easy or difficult? Elaborate on why/why not?
d. Did you need to make any modifications in order to make it work for you?
e. Would you recommend it to others?
Here are a few that I have found, that you can take a look at just to get you started.
Blending Advance Pshop techniques
Letting an image edit itself (using blending modes in Photoshop) This one touches on the use of blending modes, as opposed to stiching or merging images together, however it's very useful and can help in editing the photos in the first place and getting the most out of your work.
Blending two images together (Youtube how-to video. Part 1)
This is Part 2
Part 3
These are just options. I haven't viewed all of them, but as you can see, there are many tutorials out there. If each of you finds one that you find useful, and shares your information, we can all learn and have access to a lot more learning!
Please add this to your blog by Friday the 12th at the end of the day.
