Hello!this is my second blog entry for the subject Color Theory.This subject gave me so much knowledge about computer techniques especially in using Adobe Photoshop.

For this day,I've learned about the preferences and color settings for photoshop like how to adjust the settings and some shortcuts.

Here are some shortcuts:

If you want to reset the setting of photoshop then you should press command,option and shift at the same time and click yes,then open the Adobe Photoshop.

If you want to use the ruler then press command + r.

And also i've learned the differences of PC and Mac keyboard shortcuts:

Control        =       Command
Alt               =       Option
Shift             =       Shift

Shift stays the same on both PC and Mac.

Also,8 points,smallest in print,is equal to 12 pixels on the web.

On print  = dots per inches
On web   =pixels per inches

And for easier guide lines,instead of using Ruler,you can use Smart Lines for an automatic ruler.

If you want to see all stuff that you undo,you can see it in History,but be sure that it has limitations because it can enlarge your file.

For preference setting,History and Cache,be sure that it will not be too large so that your computer will not hung while you're working on your project.

In color setting,it is better to use Adobe RGB(1998) than sRGB because it has more color capacity.

And one more thing,paper is also important.Sometimes,your project depends on the quality of paper you used so make sure it is good :)

I guess,that's all i've learned for today,maybe not all but that was all i remember.

THANK YOU! :)

Oh!This was the first day for the second semester of being a freshman college student.And for this day,we encountered the Color Theory class with our professor,Mr. Rey Mendoza.He was quite amazing and nice too.I was impressed by his story,his works,a photographer,web designer and a part time multimedia professor.He showed some of his works that are very impressive.

In our discussion,he taught us about the history of colors,how colors were made and where it all begun.We also learned about how the artist should handle the given projects or how to start a project.

An artist is a problem solver.In solving a problem,first is to identify your goal or what is the main objective of the project.Second,who is your audience?You should identify who will be your client and how will you satisfy them through your work,And lastly,What is your budget and timeline.You should be responsible on how to do the project with the right amount of money and should have a right and adequate time.

So,that was it,a very productive class for today.A four hours class for this day was worth it.
THANK YOU! :)
