This chapter went over many of the things we'd gone over in prior chapters but applying them to refine and retouch element by element to improve the overall using spot healing, color manipulation and cloning. Chapter Eleven shows the immense power of Photo Shop's content aware capabilities. Content aware coupled with the healing options are amazing in their ability to correct and completely replicate areas from the surrounding areas of the image including many different sample options. We also go over the dodge (brighten) and burn (darken) tools and how to use the sponge tool to desaturate and how to use the liquify filter to completely adjust major features.

Took the following four images, made each one it's own layer and gave it a transparency layer: to come up with this:

Went through the layer section of the tutorials which had us convert the horse image above to the Pegasus silhouette below. Very useful info that should prove invaluable for our Project One that is due this coming Monday. We then added a gradient fill layer in Chapter 6 creating the png image below.

Chapter four got in cropping including rotating the image while cropping, original image above and cropping activity in the screen snip below.

Tech for Graphics, Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 Tutorials Chapter one covered differences in the current interface of Photoshop 2017 from when the videos in the tutorial were made. It also went into detail about how to open images and set them to open in the Photoshop 2017 and a little info on the various image types. The instructor introduced the Bridge option for previewing images in Photoshop, a brief introduction to Photoshop's Camera Raw and options to how to close projects.
