Teaching Photoshop
most faculty will just need:
scanning, rotate, crop, scale, save as filetypeRotation of images and cropping should be done in Photoshop Elements BEFORE saveing and trying to import into iMovie. (Just a little something I picked up from doing it wrong.)
Q: what about standards?
import into FCP
Which resolution and document size is best? iMovie? HD?This images shows that you can choose a preset image size for working with images that are destined to be imported into a video editor (NLE):
Scanning Slides:
What is best res?File type: TIFF? PNG ??
PNG is available in 8-bit and 24-bit formats only. This means that PNG cannot hanndle an image that has 16-bit/channel (channel=r/g/b), (which equals 48-bit). however, PSD and TIFF can handle 48bit channel depth. PSD can save as 48-bit, but none of the tools can be used until you adjust the image to 8-bit/channel.
However PNG is vector based and scales nicely, which may provide advantages (?)
In Photoshop, Save As TIFF gives you the option of embedding a color profile, whereas PNG does not.
Things to doulbe check when saving as TIFF1. Image Compression should be set to NONE2. Byte Order should be set to IBM PC (Which will allow it to be read by both Mac and PC)does that matter? who knows.
Color Profiler is synonymous with "color space" which refers to the color gamut available to a given profile. Examples include RGB (RedGreenBlue), sRGB (optimized for monitors), and CMYK (optimized for printing: CyanMagentaYellowblacK)
