Tues Dec 3

1. You need to have all of your headshots taken and take a photo of your finished doodle sheet.

2. Watch how to upload your headshots and doodle pic

3. Try uploading  using the phone cable.

4. Steps for uploading.

Steps for uploading:

1. get a phone cable from the teacher

2. Plug the usb into the computer

3. Plug the other end into your phone

4. an allow button should pop up on your phone, click allow

5. Then look for your phone on the left side of the screen where all of the drives are located.

6. Click on and you will be brought to a folder called INTERNAL STORAGE click on this, and alot of folders will be brought up. Move all the way down to the last folder which will be the most recent. You should see the three photos you just took.

7. Select the three photos and right click COPY, go to your MDrive folder, then click EDIT PASTE.

Come see me if you have problems doing this. 

Steps for Headswap

 1. Find a photo of a person on the internet. When using google to find the image, get the largest size photo possible. ( ie superman, famous model or celebrity) no animals or cartoons. Right click COPY, open Photoshop, File NEW, edit PASTE

2. Bring in the Headshot of Yourself or a friend. Go to file OPEN and open from your file on the MDRIVE. It should automatically open in Photoshop.

3. Bring in both photos to Photoshop. Go to IMAGE, IMAGE SIZE and change the photos to both be close to the same size.Height 11 INCHES. If one is way bigger than the other it will be difficult to do the assignment.

4. While under ADJUSTMENTS, you can also change both photos to BLACK and WHITE.

5. The photos should be open in different tabs.

If you get all of this done you can continue.

6. Next go to the SELECTION TOOL,(4th tool down on the left, right click) and using the tool, move the tool around the head of one of your photos, then click on EDIT CUT and go to your next photo.

Note: It is probably more interesting to put the student head on the celebrity body, but it does not matter which head goes where. Also if you do not have a head shot that works for the swap, simply go out and take a shot of someone in a similar pose and distance away from the camera.

7. When on the next photo, click on EDIT, PASTE. This will put the head on the page. Then to resize the head, click EDIT, TRANSFORM, SCALE. This will put a box around the photo and allow you to change the size of the head, you can also slightly rotate the head if you go to ROTATE under TRANSFORM tool.

8.. Then you want to tweak the image by moving into place with the pick/move tool, or use the eraser tool to clean up the edges.

Note: SAVING the file: If you need to continue working on the head swap, save as a COPY Photoshop file so you can come back and work on the image. It is always a good idea, to save your edited photos as Photoshop files as a backup in case you need to go back and make changes. However, if you think you are done you can save as a JPEG ( which is save as copy).
