2/8/11 Class Notes

To capture a still image from youtube video: Shift + Command + 4

To adjust the lighting of an image (dark to light) go to:
   Image - adjust - curves
      - grab the curb and move it up for light and move it down for dark

To dodge:
Pick mid tone = Middle of picture
Begin with exposure 10
Click one by one and not all at once

*Must darken edges to highlight subject*

To change color: Image - Adjust - Color balance

C (cyan) - R (red)
M (magenta) - G (green)
Y (yellow) - B (blue)
** When there is too much of one color you just add more of it opposite. Example: picture too yellow you have to add more blue**

Sponge tool: allows you to saturate or desaturate (more or less intense) or take out completely
(hold down mouse)

To blur picture: Filter - Blur
