Photoshop Intro How to Cut, Paste add Text

This year I've really tried to get in the habit of recording myself teaching and demoing art techniques, so as I teach this High School Photography Class I'll be recording my lectures to create free content here for now, maybe more advanced work in an e-course but for now here's a look at using photoshop to do some basic design editing.  I use the Adobe subscription based photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop for about $10 a month.  It's the most professional used editing software so I feel confident suggesting it and requiring my students to master it.

This is one of our first assignments to start using Photoshop.  Students were given a scavenger hunt to get RAW images.  RAW settings are different to program on each camera but it usually located in a tab called Image Quality and can be used in conjunction or without JPG settings (I used to shoot both so I could just have jpgs right away for personal use, but have moved away from that and almost exclusively shoot in RAW these days.)

Once on the computer, they opened images in photoshop, we started with our scavenger hunted 'something green' image, which I used this floral wedding bouquet for.
