Process Guide for Viewing Photographs

What photo editing software can do:

·        Basic photo repair (cropping, red eye, contrast, lighting)

·        Crop the part you want to keep

·        Projects like collages, cards, calendars, t-shirts, labels

·        Change the photo (layers, blur, neon, twirl, pencil sketch,

    coloring book, aging, tile, etc.) 

·        Save in different formats – TIFF, JPEG, GIF, BMP, PICT, PCX,

     PNG (Palm handheld for eBooks)

    (To put images in the Web they must be saved in either JPEG

    or GIF format.)

·        Save “for the web” to decrease the number of pixels and make photo “less dense.”

What kinds of things can be sent through the printer (This depends on the type of printer you have! Do not try to send these through your organization’s expensive laser printer – we’re talking ink jet printers such as HP or Epson – if in doubt – go to their website and check it out!):

• paper – regular printer paper
• photo paper
• printed paper
• card stock
• construction paper
• transparencies
• magnetic paper
• sticker paper
• decals
• “shrinky-dink”
• iron on transfers Hanes Tshirt Lite http://www.hanes2u.com/software/lite/lite_download.htm
• fabric
• post-it notes (this has nothing to do with digital cameras but a great hint—in a Word document type what you want on the post-it, add a picture if you want. Run it through your printer. Place a post-it note (make sure it sticks down flat!) over the printed area and run it through the printer again and you’ve got a printed post-it note. Great way to say “Good Job” to a kid! You can replicate the post-it in a table and print many post-its at a time.)
