Lab Numero Uno...

Here are my JPEG images for the first lab...

Before the tsunami...


And After the tsunami...


Things I learned from my first exercise with Photoshop...
-It is less difficult (for me at least) to draw/paint/whatever moving the mouse in an "upward stroke" as opposed to moving the mouse down towards me.
-It is also less difficult to do the same thing moving the mouse to the right, out further away from me as opposed to moving the mouse to the left (I'm right handed).
-It really sucks not having a pen tool like in Illustrator to "connect the dots" or nodes.
-But...at the same time its nice to have an eraser in Photoshop too, which we all know doesn't exist in Illustrator.

I have photoshop on my computer which i think unlike elements, has a line tool like the one in illustrator. I don't completely understand how it works - each line segment you draw makes a new layer. but even though each little segment is in a new layer it seems to work well. for the shorelines i used the polygon select tool which is nice when you want to outline a polygon feature, but if you use that tool when it's just a line then you have to erase the line that closes the shape. let me know if you have more questions.

see you in class...
