At the beginning of the session we were asked to open BAGD folder which we should have saved onto our desktop however the majority of us forgot to save this folder to our desktop therefore we had to do this again and then drag the folder into user work.
We then opened photoshop went onto file then to script and then followed by 'Load files into stacks', clicked onto browse and selected all the images that we wanted to load files into the stacks. The aim of this task is to get rid of the people in the bean jpeg shots.
After this you then must click onto 'create smart object after loading layers so you don't end up with hundreds of layers and just one layer so the object is a 'smart object' in order to work indestructibly.
INSERT IMAGE OF IMAGE OF PEOPLE IN.
After doing so we then waited for the images to load, this takes a few minutes as there are 100+ images and we want them to become a smart object as well as 'load file as a stack'.
After this has finished loading we then need to go onto layers and click onto the smart objects, and then click onto the 'median' options, this will take the median of whats going on and get rid of the moving objects and in this instance it is the people in the image who we are trying to get rid of.
As all the people have now gone we want to now edit the skyline as it seems rather blurred. therefore from all of the original images we need to select one that we are happy with in terms of the skyline.
Once finding the images through the finder we then need to go to 'place' select the image we want to include the skyline with.
We then need to select that image and click the place button, so that the image is then placed upon the image we have edited. The image will then have a cross across it we then just need to hit the return key in order to place the object on top.
As we can see the skyline has now changed however the people have returned to the image. In order to take away these people we must use the quick selection tool to do so.
After doing so we need to select the areas where the people are on our image using this tool then click onto the backspace button in order to get these people to disappear.
As you can see we now we have the skyline we want in this image and have also got rid of the moving people in the image which was our main aim from the beginning of the task.
CREATING A POSTCARD
The first step is to create a contact sheet in order to see the range of images which you have taken to do so you must go onto file in photoshop click onto automate and then go to 'create contact sheet II'.
Although you can create a contact sheet in adobe bridge you can also create a contact sheet in photoshop.
Once clicking on the option you have to alter the information on this dialogue box dependent on what you paper size is, the format you are producing the contact sheet for and also the amount of images you want on each row and column on the sheet.
After doing so and Photoshop has loaded the images onto the sheets you should end up with the images followed by the image underneath similar to the image shown above.
After doing so and selecting the image you want to use for the postcard we must create a new document and use an A5 canvas to work on, making sure you check the colour mode, paper size and resoultion. As you can see I haven't changed this documents colour mode from RGB to CMYK, as i am producing the postcards for print it is important that I change this before I click 'ok'.
We then need to select the image we want on the front of the postcard and bring this into Photoshop using the place option.
After creating the front of the postcard we then need to save this as two different format files, one of them being a JPEG. and the other being a TIFF. document.
The back of the postcard also needs to be saved in the same way as the front of the postcard in both file formats.
It is important to keep the front and back of the the postcards on two separate layers as when we take this into Acrobat both layers will be on different sheets of paper thus the output will be on two different sides.
Once doing so we must then go onto Acrobat in order to setup the document for print, when opening acrobat we are greeted with this dialogue box as we are printing off double sided postcards we must select 'Combine Files into PDF'.
Once clicking on this option we must then 'Add Files', this is where we select the TIFF. files of both the front and back of the postcard.
As you can see the TIFF. files and JPEG. files have saved next to each other as they have the same name however a different file format.
Depending on what the actual file is for there is an option to change the file size, this is located at the right hand side at the bottom of the dialogue box.
Once clicking on 'Combine files' acrobat has prepared the postcards for printing in acrobat.
