Dear Class:

We started with Photoshop and "Faces" project last class. This consisted of taking two pictures from the internet (NBC.com) and 'melding' them together. You will be focusing on: selection tools; elliptical, lasso, and magic wand. You are also working with layers. We will talk about adding and subtracting from selections using the Option/Alt key and adding using the Shift key. I also wanted to talk further about the Edit/Free transform tool and the transform. Finally, I want to look at the Image/Adjustments and color/brightness/contrast.
