Well you will have the pleasure of playing around with Photoshop CS3 over the next two weeks , and will understand many of the processes and tools that you have access to that enable you to alter photographs in may ways. These should include the use of the following tools:-
As usual Dr Tech will provide you with a set of basic printed tutorials. You should also use Miro to download the following shows as they have excellent video tutorials on so many different skills:-
More tools than you thought..huh. You should at least watch and trial the 8 videos suggested above – to get a better understanding of the abilities of Photoshop. For some of you this will take longer than others to come to terms with the basics of Photoshop. When you have practiced with them (Dr Tech will ask for samples for different skills) it is time to use them to change some photos to see what you believe is the difference between ethical and unethical. You must first take your own digital pictures of as many teachers and students around the campus as possible. This could be group photos, portraits, action in fact whatever you would like to take. As a group from the photographs, choose three that you will all use to manipulate. From these photos you need to change and manipulate at least two photos in an ethical and then unethical way according to your researched ideas on the ethics of photographic manipulation. Pheww that is more complicated than it seems:-
You will need to use as many of the skills that you have practiced that are listed above ad maybe need to practice or improve with new skills. Remember Photoshop has untold features and power. Both the photos should on initial glance look untouched, the more professional the better grade you will receive. Be original and creative…and have fun!
P.S. To get you thinking further take the hoax test, and then think about which stakeholders of these photographs might have found the fakes as unethical (thanks to Coolness 16 (who is she you ask?) for the website)?
