Contact Sheet

on the third row I took a picture of a palm tree as landscape then cropped it as a square. Then for the portrait shot I cropped it so that the image was .75 inch by 1 inch high. In row four I used a picture of a cliff size and cropped it all the way down until I was zooming in on part of a fence that you would not notice in the original picture. I did all this by using the crop tool.

In row five I did the went through the same procedure but with a picture of a bunch of puppies. In my final zoomed in picture it was a picture of a dogs nose. The last row was my favorite row, I used a picture of a sailboat and was able to change the way it looked through some of the tools I found under the filter tab.

Contact Sheet

When I started my contact sheet the first thing I did was look for an image that was 1200 dpi. Once I found the image i dragged it on to my desktop to save it in my contact sheet folder. Next i dragged the image from my contact sheet folder on my desktop to my actual contact sheet. Then I had to change that image from 1200 dpi to 600 dpi. I did this by going to image at the top of the screen, scrolling down to image size and where it said 1200 dpi I changed it to 600 dpi. after that I saved the image to my contact sheet folder and then dragged the image from there to my actual contact sheet. After that I had to do the same process over again to change the image from 600 dpi to 300 dpi and then from 300 dpi to 72 dpi.

The next row was a little bit different. I started off my finding a very colorful picture on Google, then I saved that picture to my desktop and dragged it from my desktop into photoshop. From there I was supposed to change the image to the print form which is CMYK so I went to Image at the top of the screen then to mode then to CMYK. Then I saved the image to my contact sheet folder and dragged the image from their to my contact sheet. Next I had to change the picture to the web form which is RGB, so I took the image that I had saved on my desktop and dragged it into photoshop from their I went to Image->Mode->RGB then I saved the image in its RGB form to my contact sheet folder and transported the image from their to my contact sheet. My next task was to change the image to duotone, so I took the image from my desktop and put it in photoshop, then I went to Image->mode->grayscale then I went back to image-> mode-> duotone. From there I played around with colors to see what combination I liked the best. once I had an image that I was happy with, I saved it to my folder on my desktop and then dragged the image from their to my contact sheet. The last think I had to do for this row was make the image black and white. So I took the image from my desktop and dragged it into photo shop, from there I went to Image->mode->grayscale and saved this picture as black and white to my contact sheet folder on my desktop. Once I did that i dragged the image from my folder to the contact sheet. Thats how I did my two rows it was a fun exersize and I am looking forward to finishing my contact sheet.
