_PhotoHandling

=PHOTO MANAGEMENT = There are thousands of digital photos taken every year for the yearbook. It is essential that they be organized and stored in the proper way. Everyone in the class must follow these rules!

Upload images from the cameras directly to the DIGITAL IMAGES TO BE USED FOLDER

 * If time, put them in the proper folder (i.e. MS Sports--> Fall Sports-->Hockey)
 * Otherwise, put them all in the To Be Sorted Folder
 * Then DELETE the images from the camera!

• Get photos ➢ Select from the Digital Images to be Used folder and MOVE to your page’s folder, or ➢ Scan (if needed) • Rename photos ➢ When the grade is known, name the image with that (i.e. 12Amylaughing.jpg, MSsadboys.jpg) ➢ If grade isn’t known, then just something short & descriptive will do ➢ If you are about to name it something like 6girlblurry.jpg then just THROW IT AWAY! • Open photos in PhotoShop and run the actions (for color or b&w) being careful to adjust the levels properly • Open the page from ’07 – ‘08 Layout folder • Place the photos on the page ➢ File-Place • Crop the photos as needed ➢ Click on the black arrow tool for that ➢ Be sure you don’t crop smaller than the blue frame • Resize the photos as needed. ➢ Select the photo - Click on the free transform tool in the toolbar - Hold down the SHIFT key click on the photo, then drag from a corner so it stays in proportion! If you forget & the photo gets distorted, just delete it & re-place it. - Do NOT make it bigger than 150% its original size • Move the photos around to lay out the page ➢ For each page, start by placing a photo in the top inside corner, then work down & out ➢ Leave room for captions as needed (classes, advisories, clubs, teams, etc.) • Leave exactly leave 1 row/column between photos as well as text blocks • Follow other rules for text & good layout (see other pages) • Put a .25 stroke around each image (not text blocks)
