Good morning and happy Cinco de Mayo! We have two more portrait touch ups. Today's touchup isn't necessarily unique to portraits but it can really bring attention to your subject. This video will describe how to make a vignette. What's a vignette? It's a slow, subtle fade around the edges of a photo. Traditionally it was used to make the edges of a photo fade to white. Now a subtle blacken around the edges is popular. I'd like you to apply a vignette to one of your photos and upload the before and after to Schoology. That's it for today!

Good morning and happy Cinco de Mayo to you all. Today I would like to discuss editing tone. If we were meeting face to face I have a PowerPoint that I would put on screen while I explain what how to do what it's showing you to do. We aren't in the High School though so this may be a little more challenging! I've made a video with both the PowerPoint and Pixlr open side by side. This way I can read, explain and do it all at the same time. Watch the video, pause it, and do as I do. Here you can find the grayscale ramp. This is the rock photo. It really isn't hard, but it can make a huge difference in your photos if you adjust tone. I do this to all my pictures actually! Give it a try and then upload you after version of the sliding rock to Schoology please. That's it for today, hope you have a fantastic day!
Period 5
Good afternoon class. Hope all is well today. As we continue to explore the realm of type, today I want you to experiment. Yesterday's video explained how to edit and adjust type in Gravit. Today we are going to use Gravit to make different kinds of type. Here you will find the starting file. You'll find examples of what I have done on the left and space for you to do your editing on the left. I have also made a video that will make doing what the starting file tells you to do super simple. You'll find the video here. Once you've completed it, please upload it to Schoology and have a great day!
