Reduce your file size BEFORE you put them on the animation line

This is to reduce the file size for LOTS of files:

Open all the files through Photoshop

Go to Action (if the window is not open go to Window and open 'action')
Click on the box - 'create new action'
Go to Image - Image size - change resolution to 72
and then change the longest length (either width or length) to 1,100 pixels
STOP action - bottom left square

Go to
-File
-Automate
-Batch
-opened files (those you have already put on the Desktop)
-choose your action

evaluation

For your evaluation:

  • look at your final image in terms of technical skills (Photoshop) what would you say are the strengths and weaknesses?  What could you improve on?
  • look back at your plan and compare your finished picture with your plan?  Is it different?  If so, how? and why?  Explain your reasons for the differences.
  • look at the research you did of another photographers work.  How does your work compare?

Aim for about 10 points in total.
