Week 7 Outside Class

Watched Linda.com videos for homework assignments.

Chapter 11: Working with layers. Explored some basics to understand with layers like selecting, organizing and merging. Some of the concepts I already understood with some Illustrator practice, but it was helpful to know because I'm completely new to Photoshop.
Chapter 13: Color adjusting. How to adjust color like tone values and contrasts. How to shift colors users the sliders bars/text boxes to change color hues, or how to convert to black and white. Had some beginning practice with this section doing the color exercise in class with our scanned images.
Chapter 17: Filters. How to use filters to add some effects like burs, sharpening/unsharp, tilt-shift, oil paint filter (I thought this was a neat filter to use, as I enjoy to paint myself, and thought it gave a nice touch to some photos).
Chapter 18: Blend modes. Cycling through different blending options, applying lens flare effects, how to make a cast shadow, how to sharpen an image.
