Summary - The tool that will be easiest to use, in my opinion, is the export and format tools once the work is completed. I did not know that certain types of work had to be exported in specific ways for printers. Once learning how to properly export, I think this will be the easiest tool to remember and to use. This video was a brief intro and did not have much details on the specific tools of Photoshop. The most interesting segment in this video was the brief description of the various layers and their folders. The layers portion is similar to Illustrator but the folder portion is something I had not seen before.

Summary - I believe the "Type" tool will be the easiest to use, as we have already spent ample time practicing with this tool through our work with illustrator. Because of our previous work with the "Text" tool, I believe this will be the easiest to use in photoshop. I do not think there is a tool I will have a specific hard time with over the course of learning photoshop, however, it will be more difficult for me to remember what each tool specifically does and what each shape means (the image that represents the tool), for example, the "T" means "Text". I do not see myself using the "smudge" tool much through these projects, as it seems to be a type of dull eraser. Though learning how it works is beneficial to understanding how to properly and effectively using photoshop, I do not see myself using it much in the future. On the contrary, I think that the "Burn and Dodge" tool will be the most used, as it is the most interesting tool. I edit photos through Lightroom everyday, so manually adjusting the lighting/exposure in certain places is a fascinating tool that I will come to like. I saved the link to this video as I will be referring back to it throughout this process. This video was extremely clear and helpful. I though it was interesting

This video was extremely fast but had a lot of great information. I will be referring back to this video because everything was spelled out and the videographer gave an example of work as he was filming the video. The easiest tool to use will the the tool to embed and place images into the layers. The tool that will be the most difficult for me to use is not specifically a tool, but the tool bar itself. I think it may take time for me to memorize where each tool is and what each tool does. The most interesting part of this video was how the videographer chose an image and worked through an entire example while giving step by step instructions on what he was doing and why.

Blog #4 - Letter to Future Self

Dear Future Self,  Wow, where to even begin. I honestly struggled to write this out. You won't remember but there is so much chaos going on in life right now. Between family, soccer shots, photography, money, getting caught up on school, social life, boyfriend, and friends, I don’t know where to start with this letter. On a positive note, in 2 days you have a facetime interview with the Talent Acquisition Manager with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a possible internship opportunity (thank you cousin Rick). I am currently sitting here trying to type this letter while waiting for the Career Services lady to call my name for my meeting with someone who works in the professional sports world.  Life is moving so insanely fast right now, with three million things happening at once, and everyone telling you their opinions and how you should be doing certain things. I guess that is just life? What do you think now after living through it? You probably won't even remember how stressed yo...

Photoshop Animation Tutorial: Frame by Frame Character Walkwww.youtube.com › watch The move tool with auto select will be the best to use when drawing across animations, as we can see originally what was there and still be able to proceed with what needs to be drawn.  Motion has to have a change in imagery according to this video, so I think it will be difficult to remember how to click/drag contact groups in order to duplicate across layers. I watched this portion of the video more than once, as hearing/watching ...
