I see that you are all beginning to turn in your Seeing Red assignments. Do not forget to turn them in before 5 p.m. tomorrow.
Also we are going to begin our audio unit tomorrow. Make sure you go down and check out an audio kit before class so we can use them for a few exercises/training. You will also have a Twitter Current Event's quiz tomorrow.
Review the Audio Assignment, and the Audacity basics tutorial before class so we can hit the ground running. We'll be going over this in class. We'll talk about audio editing in class Thursday as well.

Week 3: Lab 2
Today we will be toning and cropping the Seeing Red assignment in Photoshop. I'll give a brief tutorial and the rest of class will be a workshop. You should turn in your newly corrected photos by Monday at noon to receive credit for the assignment.
Our class will be doing the audio assignment next, followed by the three photos assignment. Be sure to download Audacity so you can work on that assignment. Make sure you have taken the Wordpress Lynda.com quiz on Blackboard. Also make sure to take the Photoshop Elements tutorial and the quiz following it.
HW: This weekend read at least one of your classmate's blogs and come to class prepared to share something you liked about his/her blog we will share these in class Monday.

Week 3: Lab 2, follow-up
I sent out an email to you all and forgot to post it to the blog as well. So, here's some things from the email I sent out before class yesterday, and some things I spoke about in class concerning your Seeing Red Assignment...
1) The problem with Lynda.com not listing the Photoshop tutorial has been resolved. You should now be able to take the tutorial. The tutorial is long, but you can look at the individual chapters to figure out how to tone, quick edit and crop your photos. There is also a great tutorial for resizing. I went over all three of these along with the videos in class yesterday.
2) You will have until Monday to submit your Seeing Red photos for a second time. That should give you all weekend to tone, crop and take the tutorial. When you submit your photos it will be an additional attempt on Blackboard. I will take your last attempt as the assignment I will grade. Make sure that you include your edited photo captions (in AP Style) in a word document with your first and last name at the top of the left top of the document and label the captions with the corresponding photo document name, and then name the Word document with your last name and captions, for example: Perreaultcaptions.doc.
Also rename the photos as your last name and then 1, 2, 3. So if I was submitting pictures my files would be Perreault1.jpg, Perreault2.jpg, and Perreault3.jpg. NEF files should be converted into jpg files and the files should be the sizes specified in the Seeing Red assignment.
3) Some people wanted to know if they have to buy Photoshop Elements 9 if they have another version of Photoshop that they know how to use. No. But you still have to do the Lynda.com tutorial and take the quiz. Complete the Photoshop Elements Quiz by 11:59pm on February 10. (Required chapters: 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7)
4) You must re-submit your Seeing Red photos in the format I asked for before class Monday. For each day it is late I will take a point off of the total assignment score.
We are starting the Audio Assignment next week!
Also remember to download Audacity and view the online guide to learn how to use it. Check out the audio recorder before you come to class Monday. Also check out the audio assignment information.
Remember you must also have taken the WordPress quiz in Blackboard before Friday, February 3, 2012 at 11:59 p.m.
