Image Resolution
Photoshop is a "bitmap" based image editor. This means images are broken down into tiny squares called pixels. These pixels are measured on the X and Y axis.
When we want to print an image we need to think about the images resolution. Resolution is described by how many pixel there are in one inch.
180 dpi - lowest printing resolution
300 - 600 dpi - professional printing resolution

Artist Trading Card (ATC) walk through
1) create a new 2.5" x 3.5" document at 180 dpi (resolution) ---- File New
2) use "save as" to save the document 8 times as "temp-1.psd", "temp-2.psd", "temp-3.psd".....
3) find images on the internet and save them to your desktop. *Make sure to use the advanced search function to search for "Large" Images only
4) open your images in Photoshop and "Copy" and "Paste" them into your Template file.
5) move and alter your layers ----- Try "erasing", changing the "mode" of a layer, "selecting" and "deleting", using "adjustments" and "filters"
6) when finished save the file as a .PSD (These files will need to be "Flattened" to be saved as the final JPEG file.)

Artist Trading Cards
description:
For this project you will be creating 'Artist Trading Cards' also known as ATCs. The creation of ATCs by artist comes from a long history of artists trading small samples of their work with other artist or were sold to make a little extra cash. They were very popular with Impressionistic era artists. The cards are generally 2.5" x 3.5" big and are either unique or are created in small editions.
some useful links:
whats due:
- 8 different Artist Trading Cards, 2.5" x 3.5" in size at 180dpi.
- each card shows examples of your ability to manipulate images using Photoshop
- All your cards files need to be uploaded to the Google class assignment album.
