Student Photo Assignment

Copying and Pasting the Images

1/         Open the folder called new students and open up the images in Photoshop.
2/         Create  a New Document of 1500px by 1500px
3/         One by one start placing the students into the new document

• Control A (highlights the canvas)
• Control C (copies the canvas)
• Control V (pastes the canvas)

4/         Each image that you placed may need to be scaled
5/         You need to use the eraser tool to remove some of the white backgrounds on some images
6/         When you have scaled all the images and placed them on your canvas you can type in text.

Helpful Tip:     Control click your mouse to move quickly between images. This function will automatically move to the layer you want to change.

Typing in Text

• Using your text tool type in text.  You can make the text anything you want but it must include Class of 2012.

Create a Background

1/         Create a new layer.
2/         Use  the square marquee tool to select the image and use the paint bucket to fill color.
3/         Move this layer to the bottom of the stack
4/         Use the Filter tools to experiment with different affects.
I used a combination of filters including stained glass, Gaussian blur, noise and watercolour.
5/         Create the vignette by using the marquee tool and pull it over the images but leave a gap at the edge of the canvas. Then go to Select – Modify – Feather and give it a value of 50. Fill with black.
6/         Flatten your image and print out.
