Subject: Photoshop free download and review of today's class...

Hello 022 students,

     There is a Dreamweaver and Photoshop produced web page at:

     http://www.uni.edu/jacobson/PhotoShopButtons/button1.html

          which has a link from our class web page at:

     http://www.cs.uni.edu/~jacobson/c022.html

     The link is a hypergraphic instead of hypertext and the hypergraphic
     is the button made before class today.

     Please send email sometime before Wednesday's class and
         respond to the following questions:

     1.  Which things covered in class today did you know how to do
         already?  (No Photoshop experience is expected or required
                    --                            for 810:022 class).

         a.  Ctrl + +     and Ctrl + -

         b.  Texture channels and Lighting Effects Filters

         c.  Edit menu, Stroke command

         d.  GIF versus JPEG files for the web

         e.  Foreground colors choosing

         f.  Alt + Backspace to paint the entire canvas
                                   or the selected area with the
                                           Foreground color.

         g.  Red and Green and Blue color channels in photoshop.


   2.  What is the mm/dd of your birthday?  Such as 01/31 if you
          were born on the last day of January, for example of mm/dd.

   3.  Have you any experience with Dreamweaver before the class
          began?  (No experience is required).

   4.  Have you experience seeing and writing some HTML tags before
          the class began?  (No experience is required).

   We will do some Fireworks and Dreamweaver on Friday in the hands-on
class.  We cannot do Photoshop in the hands-on classes as Wright Hall
and StudioIT 3 labs do NOT have the software for that.

   The Library SCC (Student Computer Center) and many other SCC labs
on campus do have Photoshop.

   Please read over the Friday, September 5th review suggestions and
watch the Video WOrkshops for Dreamweaver.

   See you on Wednesday.  I will stop making attempts at humor and
energizing and creating enthusiasm by next week if they do not get a
response.  I'll try to make the class as boring as possible with
no attempts at laughter and excitement if no feedback occurs, even though
any educational researcher will say the brain works better when more of
it is involved and engaged.  Probably important that learning be fun,
because if you learn how to make learning fun you will do more of it
each week here at UNI and in the future during your career.  It certainly
might help the USA to remain competitive and a be leader economically in the
new, flat world.
