Week 3 Recap

James Meaux

Today in class we reviewed what we went over last week, and talked about the "Blog and Article Review Assignment." Please check under the "Reviews" tab for details, along with an assignment description, sample, and list of due dates. 

We also reviewed Lightroom and watched two Adobe.tv videos. One on Lightroom CC Interface and one on Lightroom / Photoshop Workflow.

PHOTOSHOP:
In case you haven't guessed, we are going to start working with Photoshop now. The first two mini projects will deal with working with layers in Photoshop.

Here are some Quick Key Cheat Sheets for Macs & PC's:
