Use the Adobe PhotoShop CS application and investigate various tools and features, creating 15 specific graphics. Unless otherwise instructed, c reate graphics that are 4 inches by 4 inches and 72 dpi to start with, then crop the image to save on space. Each graphic should be a separate file, and they MUST be named as indicated. A suggestion for your organization would be to create a folder on your server account that holds all of these graphics (call it PhotoShop Skills). You will be turning these 15 files in as a group.
Hint: Look for special instructions in red .
YOU MUST HAVE THE PS SKILLS CD IN THE CD DRIVE FOR THE MOVIES TO WORK
