#7: Fifth Grade Cropping in Photoshop
Before trying this lesson, start here and here and here, with background training on image editing. Don’t worry. It’s not hard–just the basics.
Ready? Let’s start with what Adobe Photoshop is–a grown-up KidPix, and the default photo-editing program for anyone serious about graphics. This series of projects (available in 55 Technology Projects for the Digital Classroom Volume I) introduces students to a traditionally-challenging program in an easy to understand way, each scaffolding to the next, thus avoiding the frustration and confusion inherent in most Photoshop training.
