Christmas Break assignment

Your assignment over Christmas break is to bring back at least 25 pictures that display some of what happened during your Christmas break. Include photos of your family celebrating, images of gifts you gave and/or received, and pictures of other events that you experienced over the holidays.

You need to have your pictures on your laptop when we return from class.

Online Photo Editing

Online Photo Editors

We’re going to have some fun with online photo editors. These online sites are a mini version of what you could do with Photoshop or other costly photo editors.

Photo editing gives you the ability to adjust photos. You can change the brightness, remove blemishes, erase or duplicate sections, remove red-eye issues that happen occasionally when using a camera flash.

Your assignment due by the end of class:

Using the five photo images you brought to class,

Take one picture and duplicate a persons head somewhere else on the photo. It could be on another person, or floating anywhere.

Convert one of of the pictures to black and white.

Create a picture collage with all five pictures becoming one image. Put some text at the top (as examples: My Family, My Pets, My Picture Collage).

Here are two of the better free online photo editors:
