Class summary for 2/23

Today we spent the whole class using and learning about www.pixlr.com, an advanced online image editing application. Unlike www.picnik.com and www.photoflexer.com,  Pixlr is designed to look and function like Photoshop. Depending on how you look at it, this is good or bad. If you don't have any experience using Photoshop, the interface isn't very user friendly. However, if you have used PS, then it will look very familiar. In terms of this class, it is really nice because it is likely that you will take additional digital imaging courses in the future which will likely utilize PS. Thus, the time you spend learning Pixlr will be well spent as nearly everything is the same.

For homework you are to take a new photo of a friend. Then, using Pixlr, you are to manipulate it into a goofy photo. Then downsample it to 200px wide, save it to your computer as a JPEG, then upload it to your blog and write a little about what you think of Pixlr and if you had any problems using it.
