WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Adobe Photoshop, Adjustment Layers and more!
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Adjustment layers enable non-destructive editing by overlaying tonal and color adjustments. They provide a flexible editing workflow, allowing changes to be tweaked or removed at any time. Mastery of adjustment layers can enhance creative control and preserve image quality.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different tools and techniques and gradually show your success!

What you NEED to know!!!!
What you NEED to know!!!!
In the Tool bar, click on the CROP TOOL
You will notice a resizable crop box immediately surrounds your image.
You can drag any corner or any edge to adjust the shape of the box.
You can click and drag within the box to reposition the photo underneath it.
When you do this, photoshop darkens the soon to be cropped away pixels outside the box giving you a preview of what the crop will look like.
To constrain the crop to a certain size, use the RATIO menu at the LEFT of the Options bar (on the top of your screen)
This includes some commonly used crop presets.
To preserve the photo's original aspect ratio (meaning you want the same shape as the original)
Choose ORIGINAL RATIO
Now as you adjust the crop box, the photo's original relationship of width to height is preserved.
If you want to crop your photo to particular dimensions rather than ratios, choose from the Front Image section (second set of dimensions) in the same options menu.
this includes option in inches for print and options in pixels for online use
If the menu doesn't include the values you want, you can enter them to the boxes to the right of the menu.
While still in Crop mode, we can straighten our image by clicking the STRAIGHTEN ICON on the top in the options bar
Your cursor will turn into a tiny + sign
Click and drag to draw a line across an area in the image that really should be straight such as the boat ramp. (follow the actual angle of the ramp...click and pull!)
When you release your mouse button, Photoshop will rotate the image.
Before we apply our crop, its a good idea to NOT allow photoshop to delete our cropped pixels.
Uncheck Delete Cropped Pixels:
To do this, TURN OFF "Delete Crop Pixels" in the Options panel on top.
Now if we change our mind we can recover those pixels, they will just be hidden!
Click the Check Mark to commit to the crop
Or press ENTER on your keyboard!
When everything looks good, click the Check Mark at the top right in the Options Panel.
or press the ENTER key on your keyboard!
Now lets fit our image on screen
Press Ctrl + 0
Using the Crop tool, you can trim edges, change the shape and size of a photo, and even straighten a crooked shoreline or horizon.

Brighten a photo and make its colors pop using adjustment layers.
Let's add an adjustment layer to make the image brighter and add some punch
Click the Adjustment Icon on the bottom of the layers panel (half-black half white circle)
Choose BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST
In the properties panel, Let's try letting photoshop correct it for us!
In the Properties Panel, Click the AUTO button
And then adjust the sliders to your liking!
And then adjust the sliders to your liking!
Try:
Brightness +10
Contrast +81
Make sure CMYK have a value no matter how slight! (not all 0%)
TIP! It's a good idea to open the INFO panel to be able to shee where you are as far as exposure.
Click the WINDOW tab and select INFO (F8)
Click the WINDOW tab and select INFO (F8)
Now as you hover over sections of your image you can see the percentage of color.
Look to the CMYK readings. Typically, you DON'T want any part at 0% (pure white) or 100% (pure black)
You can turn the adjustment layer on and off or...
If the adjustment looks too strong, change the OPACITY in the Layers Panel at the top right to reduce it's strength!
While the image now looks better, the colors could use some boosting!
Let's add a HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer.
In the properties panel, let's drag the SATURATION slider to the right until it looks good to you.
Try
Saturation: +45
The image looks better, but the grassy and some of the more colorful houses now look a little TOO vibrant.
To hide that we can use the layer mask on the HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer.
Since the mask (the white box with a line around it) is filled with white the ENTIRE image shows the applied adjustment.
Make sure the Mask is active (you should see a white line around the layer mask thumbnail)
Select the BRUSH tool from the TOOLS Bar
Now in the Brush Options/Preset Picker at the top of the screen, change the
Size: 150 px
Hardness: 0%
This will create a soft edged brush. Press Enter to close the Options/Preset picker
To reset the color boxes, click the small black and white boxes to the left. To switch foreground and back ground, click the curved arrow.
The foreground color (the one on top) at the bottom of the Tools Panel determines what color the brush will use.
When a layer mask is selected your only choices are Black, White or gray.
Make sure BLACK is the foreground color (on top)
Click and pull to "paint" over the grass and other items you want to mask!
Now mouse over to your image, and brush across the areas in which you want to hide the adjustment.
Click and pull to "paint" over the large grass area to mask it.
Want a bigger or smaller brush?
On your keyboard simply press the left or right bracket (to the right of P) to change the size.
Click and pull to "paint" over the roofs and some of the houses!
Take a moment to mask ("paint") over some of the more vibraint houses to mask their color a bit.
Look at the Hue/Saturation Layer mask now!
If you happen to mask too much, simply change the forground color to white and "paint" the area you want to UN-Mask
REMEMBER!
White REVEALS (shows)
Black CONSEALS (masks)
Adjustment layers also remain editable!
If you want to go back to edit, simply click on the adjustment layer to want to edit and select left thumbnail to open its properties!
