Using Photoshop to Organize Photos
By this time, you should have NINE pictures. Today, we will be putting them all together in a Photoshop document.
1) After opening Photoshop, create a new file. Name the file Your Name Mood Portraits.
Make sure the file is 8.5 x 11 inches, with a resolution anywhere from 250-300 pixels/inches.
2) Once open, go to your Blogger and press "View Blog". You can simply right click to copy the picture and paste into the Photoshop document by clicking Ctrl - V. Each time you paste it in, it will come in as a new layer. Be sure to name the layer the emotion that the picture represents.
4) As you continue to put your nine images in, you may need to move them around to better fit. Use the move tool to do so. If you need to re-size the photo (it's too big or too small), use Ctrl- T to enable Transform.

Remember, to prevent distortion, hold down the Shift key while changing the size!
5) After the pictures have been arranged, now we can turn the images black and white. Go into the Adjustments box and find the black and white setting.
Click on that and ta dah! You're pictures are now black and white!
6) After you press save, you will also save it as a .jpeg file. To do so, go to "Save As". You can keep the name the same, but you must change the Format from "Photoshop (.PSD; .PDD)" to "JPEG (.JPG; JPEG; JPE)".
A box will pop up about JPEG Options. Make sure the that under Image Options, the Quality is either High or Maximum. Press Okay.
7) Post the .jpeg image to you class blog, titling it Mood Portraits B&W.
8) When posted, let me know and take an Exit Ticket from my desk.

Putting Up 7 Emotion Pictures
So far, everyone should have AT LEAST 7 photos displaying a different emotion or mood. The photos should have the following criteria...
1) YOU must take the picture! The portrait can be of you, a friend, a family member, etc... but it must be taken by YOU!
2) Show the face! The picture should be showing an emotion- without a face, the emotion or mood of the subject is difficult to know.
3) Avoid using Snapchat filters (no flower crowns, no starry eyes, etc.)
4) Your photos should be CLEAR and not blurry or unfocused.
Assignment:
Today we will begin to put the images on our blogs.
1) Download the images onto the desktop. Name them the emotion they are portraying to prevent confusion.
2)Open up your blogger account. Your are going to go to make a new post.
