Coloring Graphic Images
Hand drawing custom illustrations is easy and only takes a little time in Photoshop.
Step 1- Hand draw the graphic you want to use. Preliminary Sketching should be done in pencil. Draw lightly so pencil marks will easily erase.
Step 2- Ink your drawing. Sharpie pens are a wonderful invention.
Step 3- Make sure your image is PHOTO-READY.
Step 4- Use Mr. Bollman's laptop to scan the image and move it to your station using a flash drive.
Step 5- Open the image in PHOTOSHOP.
Step 6- Use EDIT>ADJUSTMENTS>THRESHOLD to remove the grain of the paper.
Step 7- Double Click on the BACKGROUND LAYER. It will now say LAYER 0.
Step 8- Use the WAND Tool (W) to select the background. Hit Delete.
Step 9- Color the image using the BUCKET TOOL, the BRUSH, etc.
Step 10- When complete, SAVE AS a TIFF. Make sure the SAVE TRANSPARENCY button is selected on the tiff saving option box.
Now up load the image to GRAPHIC IMAGES

Rendering Professional Cut-Out Backgrounds (COBs)
Step 1- Open the image to cut out. You will want to work with as large an image as possible.
Step 2- Select the Magnetic Lasso Toll from the tool bar. Use this tool to make a quick selection around your subject. It won't be perfect but it will do the 'heavy lifting' for you.
HINTS: Use the mouse button to click where you want a marker. The delete button removes the last marker. ESC lets you start completely over. Double Click when you are ready to close your selection.
Step 3- Create a Quick MASK (Q) which floods the unwanted areas with a red mask. Everything that is red will be removed. Everything that is normal will remain.
Step 4- Make a perfect mask by slowly going around the image, painting red on areas you want to remove and erasing red from areas you want to keep.
HINTS- Use the HAND TOOL (H) to move around the picture. The PAINT BRUSH (B) adds red. Make sure your brush type is a small hard tip. You can grow and shrink it to fit the space you are filling.
ERASE (E) removes the red mask. Again, adjust the tip of the eraser to fit the spot you are getting rid of.
Step 5- Once the Quick Mask is PERFECT, deselect the QUICKMASK (Q) and now your subject is selected (surrounded by marking ants).
Follow these steps-
<COM> + X To CUT THE SUBJECT.
<COM> + N To OPEN NEW DOCUMENT. Don't worry about the size. Photoshop is smart. It will automatically make this new document the right size for your COB.
<COM> + V To PASTE the selection.
Step 6- Delete the BACKGROUND LAYER so that you only have your COB subject and a checkered background. Now save the image as a TIFF. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT SAVE TRANSPARENCY on the Tiff options box.
Step 7- Show your completed COB to your EDITOR for approval.
Now upload the image to the right folder on Yearbook Avenue and we are ready to go.
