iMovie

After watching the tutorials on iMovie, I have learned a few things. One interesting aspect to iMovie is the different themes I can add to my movies. I just have to choose a theme that I want, select the option to automatically add transitions and titles, and it will create a neat, professional-looking movie for me. Another way to make my videos look more professional is to get rid of a shaky camera. All I have to do is select 'analyze for stabilization' and iMovie will stabilize it for me. It will also show me what video is too shaky to use so I just have to get rid of that and I will have a stabilized video.

Photoshop Examples

During the Photoshop unit I learned how to spot color a photo. To do this, I desaturated the picture so it would be all black and white. Then I added a new layer and made it slightly transparent so when I painted in the colors, it didn't completely cover up the original photo. Here, I chose to color in his bright pants, the grass, and the flag.

Now only some colors are highlighted.

In the Photoshop unit I also learned how to replace a face and put my face in for someone else's. I decided I wanted to be on Mt. Rushmore so I put my face in where Abe Lincoln normally is. I put my face in a layer beneath the original picture and then just erased Abe's face so I would be there instead of him.

I am now looking out over South Dakota.

Sharing Photos

Now in iPhoto I can share photos by exporting them and sending them via email. I can also create a calendar so others can see my pictures. Probably the most interesting thing I have learned is how to make a short powerpoint, which you can watch above.

Welcome to My Blog!

In Multimedia Apps right now, we are learning about editing and organizing photos in iPhoto. First, to create an album, you must click in the lower-left hand corner on the plus sign and enter in a title for the album. Once the album is created, you can move the photos around in it so they are in the order that you want. Finally, you can also change the size of the photos to make them larger or smaller.
