CS5 Five Things I've Learned

5 things I've learned:
- To draw things such as a triangle, click the three spots where the edge will be to create it, and then click it in by click the edges again.
- To create curves, click, hold and drag the handles to do so, to take them away click the starting point of your line.
- If you want to make an object or something, if you can apply it, you could use the reflect tool to save time, Just draw half of the object, and reflect it to the other side of it.

CS5 5 Things I've Learned

 Five things I've learned:
- You care able to create a perfect square and circle if you hold shift while expanding the shape, you can also move it if you hold spacebar.
- If you use the arrow keys can change the type of shape (such as a 3 or 4 pointed star). This also works if you want to create bigger swirls and with the gird making.

First 5 things learned in CS5

CS5 in my opinion seems like an easier program to get your projects done, rather than photoshop.
- not pixel based so everything looks clear no matter the magnification.
- you can do many things on one layer compared to doing many different thing to each layer then adding them in.

CS4 to CS5 Comparison

CS5 contains much more features, but the two I'm going to talk about is the multiple art board enhancements. Each art has its own ruler and you can now organize your art work with the art board tab/window.  The other is the new web design features. This gives you a pixel grid where you can adjust the pixels of your image with the grid to make it more sharp.

What other projects could you do that use photoshop in a manner different than usual?

The example of taking an attractive girl and creating her into a horrific beast beast just shows the possibilities of photoshop. Taking from the example, if you are able to create a large alter on someones face, then why not do it to a whole environment. I'm pretty sure with the editing that photoshop offers that you would be able to create a nice preschool environment into a demonic playground. Thats not only a way to put a fun twist on photoshop editing, you could also create images of people that are repulsive or even funny. It all depends on you and your creativity in photoshop, you are not chained down into only making things look good with photoshop like the rest of the world does.

Puppet Warp Feature: How could you use this tool?

This feature seems to be very handy in multiple situations. The possiblities of this feature is endless. You can create cartoons with this feature. Get some characters and then start warping them into doing things, kind of like a flip note. You could also use this to edit things that you don't like in a picture. Say that someone has their head tilted in a picture where they had to have good posture, you could simply turn on the puppet warp feature and tilt said person's head to give them good posture.

What additional features does he like and how do they work?

He enjoys that you can create any text into 3D at his command. He also likes the various things he can do with the 3D text. The base on how to start making animated text is going to repousse and then going to text layer. From there, after choosing the shapes and colors of the text, you can then go onto the shadow of the text to make it that more realistic. Then you can go to the ground plane and angle the text to match the picture your editing. And finallygo to ground plane shadow catcher and you will be able to create the shadow of the 3D text. Go to scene settings and then quality you will be able to see a draft of the shadow, and when your pleased with you work, you can go to the final mode.
