PART TWO:

​

  1. Open Adobe Photoshop and make these image corrections to the 3 images you photographed. Just leave the image the size it came out of the camera. No need to resize or make a new file like we usually do.

    1. Color correct to match the product​

    2. Adjust brightness and darkness

    3. Remove any dust or marks on the item

    4. Using the Pen Tool, trace out the image and create a path. Name the path by the image you took, EX: front, back

      1. Any tool other than the Pen tool will result in a ZERO for this part of the assessment. Your files will be inspected by your instructor to see your Paths.

    5. Turn the path you made into a selection and create a new layer out of it

    6. Place your image on a colored background that compliments the color(s) of your product.

    7. Save your image to your Master folder. Your files should be PSD files named with your first initial+last name_color_shot1. EX: "FMcCarthy_color_shot1.psd". Do this for all 3 shots.

    8. Take a screenshot of your folder with the files in it and upload it to Schoology. See the image to the right for an example.

    9. ALSO, UPLOAD YOUR THREE IMAGES AS LAYERED PSD FILES SO I CAN CHECK YOUR PEN TOOL PATHS
