Topics Discussed:

  • Filter Gallery
  • Destructive Edit

Assignment:

• Open the file “justrose.jpg” in Photoshop.
• Open the Filter Gallery and search through the available filters, noting the properties panel on the right hand side for each.
• Change the photo using one of your favorite filters. Save the picture with the name of the filter you used (For example: ”Colored pencils.jpg”).
• Open a new copy of “justrose.jpg” and repeat this process four more times, with a different filter each time. You should have five pictures, each with a different filter, when you are done.
• Design a composition in InDesign using your five different pictures. One picture should be bigger than the rest (The focal point or “dominant image”).
• Pick out your favorite filter image to make the dominant image. Fill up the page with the pictures. Near each picture (using Proximity!), use the text tool to write a caption with the name of the filter you used.
• When finished, save the file as <your name>.filters.indd, create a new folder with your name, place your InDesign file and all five of the rose pictures inside it and upload all the files to the “Rose Filters” assignment post on our Google Classroom page.
