HW Due April 19 : 5 Prints

Make a total of five (8x10) Prints of *THE SAME IMAGE* at Adorama. 8x10 Prints at Adorama are $1.28, so you’ll spend less than $10 for this assignment. Make sure you do not check the box that says “let adorama color manage my image”.

*To change the color profile of a certain document, go to Edit > Convert to Profile. Always convert from the original Adobe RGB 1998 Document and “Save AS” a duplicate copy. Title the duplicate by what color space you applied to it.

Print 1: Luster Paper, sRGB color space
Print 2: Matte paper, sRGB color space
Print 3: Glossy Paper, sRGB color space
Print 4: Glossy paper, Adobe RGB 1998 color space
Print 5: Glossy Paper, ICC profile for Glossy Paper

**make sure you write text in Photoshop small at the bottom of your print the profile each image is using.

HW Due April 12

Homework for next week is to catch up on any missing assignments and to bring in digital RAW files to work on in Photoshop. We will be meeting in the computer lab at the beginning of class: C230. Bring some portraits as we will be doing portrait/skin retouching as well as a selection of other favorite "portfolio worthy" images you've shot recently. You will be asked to print one of the images that we retouch for the following week's class, so bring images you love!
