Lab #1- Reflection Journal

                 As for my first lab, I used the software, Adobe Photoshop CS6. For this lab, I was a bit nervous but excited because it was the first lab I had to do and I did not want to do it wrong. Yet, I was edited because I really liked the photos I took and I wanted to see how they came out. Prior to this lab, we had to take pictures in which we had to focus on one certain object. This objective was a major part in lab number 1. In this lab, we had to pick four of our favorite pictures, from which we took, and add them to a new file of Adobe Photoshop CS6. I did this by first opening the application Adobe Photoshop CS6, next I went on the menu and clicked File and the clicked on new. Once a small window appeared, I named the file and changed the width to 504 and height to 360 and changed the unit to pixels. Once I did this, I changed the resolution to 250 and then went to file again. However this time i clicked on place and picked four of my favorite photos.

                  Once I picked a photo in order to not change the proportions of the photo, I had to hold on to the shift key and drag the corner of the photo into the desired size. When it was time to print out the lab, I was not too satisfied with my results because in the pictures you can see some pixels. I think I did not focus to clearly on a certain object. The objective of this lab was to give us an idea of how we can use Adobe Photoshop and what this application can be used. It gave us an idea of how we can further improve the photos in the future. This lab gave us some practice. This is related to web design because in web design we have to know how to make something have a good quality and have a great resolution, in order to attract the viewers attention. In the future, I know this lab well help later on in future labs because now we have a more clearer and broad idea on how to use Adobe Photoshop in one way and how we can further improve our work.
