Lawton's 6th Period Multimedia Elective: Cat Dog!

Monday, April 4, 2011

Cat Dog!

Today's assignment will require you to find images of animals and select parts from one and apply it to the other. For example, you can take the head of a cat and place it on a dog's body.

You will continue to use the selection tools in Adobe Photoshop to only select the part that you want to apply to the new image. You will need to rotate, scale and transform the images so they look as "real" as possible. Be creative and choose whichever animal you want.

If you have forgotten how to use some of the selection tools in Photoshop, please refer to your classmates and other parts of this blog.

When you are finished, please save a .PSD version of your work to your flash drive under the Photoshop Folder called: "FirstName_LastInitial_Animal"

After, please choose to send a .JPG to me via school loop. The subject of the LoopMail should be Animal and your file name should match the one above. Please send only .JPG images and not .PSD

Key Terms

Bitmap Image = a type of graphic file, most often used for continuous-tone photographic images, composed of an array of pixels.

Vector Image = an image whose content is defined by lines and curves and measured by mathematical vectors.

JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group)= a compressed bitmap file format designed for photographic images.
-every time you resave you lose image quality
-16.8 million colors
-variable resolution
-does not support transparency

GIF(Graphics Interchange Format)= a bitmap file format that is widely used for the display of graphics on the Web.
-when you resave you do not lose image quality
-256 colors or less
-best for solid color images
-resolution 72 only
-supports transparency
-supports animation

PNG(Portable Network Graphics)= a bitmap file format that is widely used for the display of graphics on the Web. PNG was created to improve and replace GIF format.
-achieve greater compression than GIF
-does not support animation

Compression = makes a file smaller-not in dimension, but in file size. For example a 150x150 pixel image in Photoshop format might be 90k while the same 150x150 pixel graphic in gif format might be 3k. Compression is important on the Internet because it allows files to download quickly.
