If you own a digital camera, you should bring it into the centre, along with its
USB cable and we will endeavour to instruct you on how to download the
pictures at home. If you don’t have a digital camera you can use one that the
Centre has and learn how to download the files while in the Centre.
Cameras usually come with their own software. This will enable downloading
to a computer and will usually contain basic manipulation tools, but it is better
to buy separate specialist image manipulation software.
The image manipulation software you are going to use is Adobe Photoshop
Elements 6. The “industry standard” of image manipulation programs is
“Adobe Photoshop ”. This program has all the features needed for
professional image manipulation and consequently it is a very complex
program. The “light” version is called Photoshop Elements and this book is an
introduction to its main features.

IMPORTANT
Before you start this section, put your
name on the help sheet and ask a Tutor to
check that you have all the files you will
need.
Elements 6 has been designed to take images from the ORGANIZER – but
that does not prevent you from opening the EDITOR and from that program
opening a picture file – much as you would a Word document:-
OPENING A PICTURE
[3] As you will be using Windows XP you can choose the Thumbnail view
from the dialogue box and see what picture you are opening. To do
this, click on the small arrow next to the View menu and select the
thumbnails option:
The easiest way to do this is to use the central mouse wheel. Move your
mouse over the centre of the picture and roll the mouse wheel away from you.
The picture should be magnified. Now roll the mouse wheel in the opposite
direction and it should return to normal size. Notice what happens if you
increase the percentage (or zoom) beyond 100%. As the image is magnified
the pixel structure begins to show and the lines become jagged.
[1] So, having opened the file and zoomed it in and out you are going
goi to
create a folder and save a copy of the file into it.
[2] Go to File | Save As and then click on the New Folder icon.
[3] A new folder will appear in the Save As window.
[4] While the New Folder text is highlighted blue, type in the name of the
new folder which
ch will be Photoshop and press Enter on the keyboard.
[5] To open the folder click on Open.
The Save As box allows you to choose a destination – or create a New Folder
as a destination.
Notice that the Format box is set to JPEG (*.jpg *.jpeg *.jpe)
The checked box “Include
Include in the Organizer”
Organizer shows that Elements will add the
new file to its catalogue of images. It is best UNCHECKED as is the “As a
Copy” box.
When you Save a picture file in Elements it will use its own file format by
default (PSD) although most digital cameras use the JPG format. In order to
manipulate an image on more than one occasion use the PSD format. Once
you have completed your changes you can then re-save the file in JPG
format.
Before you save you need to choose the If you choose JPG, the save box allows
Format. you to change the size (and quality) of the
graphic file. For this purpose choose Large
If the image has a number filename this is File and quality 12 will be selected. Note
the time to change it to something how Elements shows you the size of the file.
memorable.
You are now going to save the Sunflower as a JPG file in your
Photoshop folder.
[6] You should currently have the Save As dialogue box open and have
the Photoshop folder selected as the Save In location.
[7] In the File name box take out the current name by using the
backspace key and type in the new name of Sunflower Copy.
[8] The type of file should be JPEG.
[9] Click on Save.
[12] Close
ose the file by clicking on the x at
the corner of the picture frame. You
want to keep Elements open.
NOTE:
When saving files throughout this book, please adjust the JPEG quality option
to 5 to save space.
[4] Now go back to Image | Rotate | Flip Vertical.. The picture should
now be the correct way up but a complete mirror image of the original.
[5] You now want to undo both these actions. Locate and click on the
undo button on the toolbar at the top of the screen.
[6] This will undo one step, click it again
again and the picture will return to its
original form.

[10] Click it once – then move the cursor into the image. Starting at the top
left of an area you want to select, in this case to the top left of the
tower.
[3] Click and drag a frame around the area you want to keep. If the area
is not correct then press Esc on the keyboard and start again. In this
picture, you want to keep most of the image and lose the sections not
straightened up previously.
[4] When the correct area is selected, click the Click to commit tick. The
unwanted area should now disappear.

[5] If you look at the layer palette on the right of your
screen, you should see Background and Layer 1.
Layer 1 is the part of the picture that you have
copied and pasted.
[6] With Layer 1 still selected (which it should be as long as you haven’t
clicked anywhere else in the picture) click on the Move tool in the
th
toolbox. Small handles will appear around the selected part and you
can drag the selection to another place. You should end up with 2
flowers.
Note
te at this point you should have ONLY the clematis 2 image on the
main screen – if you have any other view, click on Window | Images |

[1] Open the file Abutilon1.jpg and resave as Abutilon Lasso in your
Photoshop folder.
[2] Click the Lasso tool, right click on the
tool. This gives you a choice of 3 types
of Lasso.
[3] Click on the Lasso Tool. You are going
to use it to draw around the flower in the
picture.
[4] Click where you want to start and, holding the mouse button down,
draw carefully round the flower, finishing at the same spot as you
started, then release the mouse button. The flower will now be
selected as shown by the dashed marquee line on the picture.
Unless you are particularly steady with your mouse it will have been quite
difficult to select the flower alone.
So let’s try an easier way…
[5] Hit the ESC key on your keyboard to cancel the selection
[6] Click the Lasso tool again and right click it. This time select the
Magnetic Lasso.
[7] Position the mouse where you wish to start and click. Release the
mouse button and carefully move the cursor around the edge of the
flower – you should click at each colour change or direction change as
this will anchor the tool. When you get back to the start point, click to
join the ends. The flower will now be selected as shown by the dashed
marquee line as before.
[8] Hit the ESC key if you are unhappy with your selection and have
another go.
[9] Close the file without saving the changes.

Remember to commit the changes.
[3] Save the changes to the image and close both of the files.
[5] Click into the area at the top of the picture and type in the following
text:
(Be aware that if you click below the line of text just entered a move
Tool icon appears. You can drag the text to a new location. Press the
ENTER key to commit.)
[9] Save the file as Icy Poster in your Photoshop folder in jpeg format as
before and Close the file.
NOTE
When the TYPE TOOL is first used the font size is set to 12pt – which – for
most recent digital images is almost invisible.
You will need to set the Font Size to large numbers – even as high as 300 to
get a line of text that can be set into a normal size digital image.
Also make sure you have chosen a CONTRASTING colour for the Type tool.
Use WHITE if you’re not sure.
If you like, Photoshop Elements can automatically fix red eyes when you bring
photos into the Organizer; just select Automatically Fix Red Eyes in the Get
Photos dialog box when you import your photos.
Alternatively, the Red Eye Removal tool removes red eye in flash
photographs of people.
[3] In the image, click into the red areas. When you release the mouse
button, the red is removed!
[3] Zoom to Whole Page : VIEW TAB - One Page (as above).
[4] Click INSERT TAB - Click Picture and a browse box comes up
[7] Click the picture then set the TEXT WRAPPING (little dog icon …

Figure 1
By clicking on the picture individually you can move the image where you
want it on the page. A four headed arrow appears to show that such
movement is possible. (If the image refuses to move it is because you have
not selected the correct Text Wrapping – remember the little dog?)
You can make the picture appear at the front or the back by clicking on the
picture and selecting Bring to front or Send to back by clicking the links in
the Position part of the ribbon above the little dog icons.
Alternatively you may position the images more or less as you want them –
sizing up or down as above, and then select one picture by clicking on it and
then a right click to bring up menus which allow you to change the ORDER
and TEXT WRAPPING of the picture. See below:
Word 2007 offers many framing options for the selected picture. There is a
row of picture icons to choose from – with more if you select the PICTURE
STYLES bar below those icons.
Notice the extensive range of frame effects. You click the bottom drop down to
the right of the picture effects to see the full range. [You can also alter
brightness and contrast (left), text wrapping and CROP (right)].

[2] Set the Styles and Effects to fx All and scroll down to the last effects
– as per the yellow arrows above.
[3] Click on the Sepia Tone option and at the dialogue box DOUBLE
CLICK the chosen icon.
[4] In the LAYERS view click on the background and then RIGHT CLICK
followed by Delete.
There are many more Filters and effects available from the
Elements menus and it is worth experimenting to see which
you like.
Use a consistent focal length Avoid using the zoom feature of your
camera while taking your pictures.
Stay in the same position Try not to change your location as you take a
series of photographs, so that the pictures are from the same
viewpoint. Using the optical viewfinder with the camera held close to
the eye helps keep the viewpoint consistent. Or try using a tripod to
keep the camera in the same place.
Maintain the same exposure Avoid using the flash in some pictures and
not in others. The advanced blending feature in Photomerge Panorama
helps smooth out different exposures, but extreme differences make
alignment difficult. Some digital cameras change exposure settings
automatically as you take pictures, so you may need to check your
camera settings to be sure that all the images have the same
exposure.
[3] Navigate to your Photoshop Folder where the required photos can be
found.
All of the photos required for the photomerge must be loaded into Photoshop
Elements at the same time.
[4] Click on the photo at the top of the list, hold down the ‘shift key’ on the
keyboard and click on the last photo required.
[5] Click ‘Open’
Photoshop Elements will start loading the photos into memory (BE PATIENT)
[11] When happy with the result, click the Click to Commit tick
NOTE (Optional)
Elements 6 also has merging facilities that apply to group photographs and to
portraits. You may like to experiment using your own photos – but the
interface is rather complicated.
You may also like to click on the CREATE tab and select some photos to
create a COLLAGE:
Notice that the image exceeds the size of the printout. This will almost always
be the case unless you are using a low resolution image. We will adjust that
presently. Meanwhile. . .
[5] Of course you may want to change the page orientation, in which case
you can use the Page Setup Button near the bottom right of the box,
but it is easier to either rotate the image or set the orientation using the
buttons provided:
ed:
The preview pane now shows the whole of the image positioned on
your chosen paper size.
You can pull the handles by the corners to resize it and position the
picture in a different way on the page – provided you uncheck the box
which says “Centre
ntre Image”.
[6] Do not print this picture. Click on Cancel to close the dialogue box and
close the picture without saving.
The paper size still shows in cm but the box below shows that
the chosen size is 4 x 6 inches.
It is worth commenting that there are now many other ways of producing
prints from digital
gital photos and most retailers offer a service in which you take
your camera memory card in and get prints on photographic paper. This
applies to original images
image on the card and also improved images if you save
them to a card using a card reader rather than the camera USB link. You can
also upload your pictures to internet
interne based print providers.
Ordinary inkjet paper produces acceptable prints – but for the special ones
you will want to use high quality photo inkjet paper, available in gloss, matte
and in a host of special textured surfaces including real canvas. Some
modern
dern printers are also able to print to the very edges of the paper. Watch
the cost of cartridges.
Should you not wish to or be unable to print your images at home, there are
lots of websites that will print images for you (some for free) and also various
variou
sites where you can share your photos with others.
All of the UK photo processing services want your business and are prepared
to give you free photos in order to show you what they can do. A (small) list of
some of these is shown below:
To print more than one picture on a page you can select Print Multiple
Pictures from the button
on on the bottom left of the Elements 6 print screen –
but be aware that this will take you to the ORGANIZER.
ORGANIZER
This is very useful for keeping a printed record of complete sets of photos –
but in my opinion it is easier to print multiple images arranged on A4 by
inserting them into MS Word as we did earlier.
This is a guide to choosing a digital camera in the price range of £100 - £350.
The main areas to consider are:
• Resolution
• Lenses
• Zoom
• Viewfinder
• Media
• Batteries
• Extras
Resolution
This is the single most important thing about any digital camera. It is
measured in millions of pixels or “megapixels”.
What is a megapixel? A pixel (short for picture element) is the smallest part of
an image displayed on a monitor or captured by a scanner or digital camera.
A megapixel is approximately one million pixels and is a measure of the level
of detail recorded by digital cameras. So, simply put, the higher the
megapixel value, the better the camera.
The second most important thing about a digital camera is its lens. Lens
specification is usually given in relation to conventional 35 mm cameras. Most
digital cameras have either a 35 mm fixed focal length lens or an optical
zoom. Typically this will be a 3X range (around 35-105 mm).
Digital zooms crop the image and enlarge the central portion. Some quality is
lost.
You should choose a camera with a lens appropriate to the kind of pictures
you are going to take now and in the future. Most people will be satisfied by 3x
or 4x optical zooms.
Most people feel more comfortable using a viewfinder, which is held to the
eye, as opposed to holding the camera at arms length, as is the case when
using an LCD display.
In low light situations and in bright sunlight it is easier to ‘aim’ the camera
through a viewfinder. The LCD screen also drains the batteries quicker.
Memory
Digital cameras store their images in computer memory that can be erased
and reused. Clearly, the more memory you have, the more pictures you can
store before either having to delete or transfer them onto your PC.
Some cameras have built-in memory and others have removable memory
cards that slot into the camera.
Compact Flash and SmartMedia are currently the cheapest cards, but the
latter is gradually being phased out.
New SD/MMC and XD cards will be around for a while but are currently the
most expensive.
Most cameras that use the Compact Flash cards are also able to take a
miniature hard disk or a Microdrive. These can have 1 Gb of memory or more,
but at the moment are expensive and have been supplanted by cards of up to
8Gig capacity.
Batteries
Digital cameras can be broken down into two categories: those that accept
standard AA-size batteries and those that use a rechargeable battery made by
the manufacturer, otherwise known as a proprietary battery.
Every digital camera comes with a CD containing the essential programs for
downloading images to a PC and manipulating images.
This will be sufficient to begin with but later on you may wish to buy better
software. Try downloading a trial version from the internet.
Extras
• Go for a model with two or three megapixels for good quality and
overall flexibility.
• Buy an additional memory card immediately. The one supplied is
virtually useless in terms of memory size.
• Carry spare batteries and buy rechargeables if your model came with
disposables and
Most Importantly
Handle the camera. See how comfortable it feels and whether the buttons fall
beneath your fingers and thumbs.
All the features in the world are no good if they’re impossible or frustrating to
use.
Imagine two horizontal and two vertical lines equally dividing your shot,
then place subjects on the lines or where they intersect with each other.
Place your horizon on the top or bottom line to add emphasis to the ground
or to the sky respectively.
Focus
Balance the flash with the available light for best results. If your camera
has a setting to do this for you, it is probably called 'slow flash' or 'synchro
flash'.
Use your camera's red-eye reduction setting (if it has one) when taking
flash photographs of people.
Aiming the flash directly at your subject can result in harsh lighting. Try to
bounce the flash off a reflective or white surface, such as the ceiling, to
produce a softer light.
Side or 'cross' lighting at dawn or dusk is great for bringing out the texture
of a subject.
At dawn and dusk there are natural shadows to help give depth and form
to your subject.
For night time and early evening shots, you will need to allow for slower
shutter speeds. (Shutter speed is the length of time the camera requires to
absorb enough light for the required shot.) The slower the shutter speed,
the more likely your photographs will be blurry due to camera shake, so
use a tripod to keep the camera steady.
Don't be afraid to point the lens at a setting sun, but whatever you do
avoid looking directly at the sun, especially through the viewfinder of
your camera.
Don't be afraid to use take portrait photographs - that is, with the camera
on its side.
Use natural features in the environment to create a frame for your subject
(the thing you are photographing).
Experiment with framing. Try framing your shots with lots of land and very
little sky, or lots of sky and very little land.
Landscape - Proportions
Look for the natural junctions of the human body (where it seems natural
to 'cut-off') if you are not including the whole person in the shot.
Soft light is preferable for portraits. Try sitting your subject near a window.
People – Children
Get the children used to you and the camera by firing off lots of shots first.
For small children, pre-focus the camera. This is done on most digital
cameras by pressing down halfway on the shutter button. Then move
yourself backwards and forwards with the child to keep the shot in focus.
Get down on your hands and knees to stay level with your subject and
appear less intimidating.
Use something to draw the child's attention away from the fact that they
are having their photograph taken.

The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 require
employers to analyse computer equipment used by employees and assess
and reduce risks. Some of the key points are:
Working Environment
Health issues in your work environment exist so that you can work safely and
comfortably.
Health Precautions
There are many precautions that can be taken to prevent injuries such as
R.S.I. and other fatigue related problems. The following is a list of equipment
that can be used to minimise the effects:
Ergonomic keyboard
Fully adjustable chairs
Keyboard wrist rests
Adjustable monitor.
Footrest.
Here are some safety precautions you should observe when using computers:
Do not overload power points and make sure that all cables
are secured safely where they cannot be tripped over or
pulled out of your computer by accident.
Information Security
Security on a Network
Hacking
Privacy Issues
There are several ways in which you can protect the privacy of your data. One
way is to set passwords to restrict access to your computer or your files. The
other way is to encrypt your data so that it is unreadable to people who do not
have the key.
Password protection can be used to allow only a few people to gain access to
the computer or some of the files on it:
Access Rights
For example, a data entry user may be able to use the company database but
no other applications. A general user may be able to use applications and
access the network, but not install new software or open the network location,
which contains the company’s confidential records. An administrator would
have unlimited access to the whole system.
Backups
There are several ways in which you can lose data. There are electronic
reasons: you might accidentally delete a file, viruses can delete data or make
files impossible to open, and documents can occasionally become corrupt.
There are physical reasons: your hard disk may break down and become
unusable, or your computers may be physically damaged by fire or flooding.
Finally, you may lose data through criminal activity such as hacking or theft.
In order to recover from all of these problems it is imperative that you have a
backup policy in place so that all of your data can be backed up.
There are several places where you can store backups with varying degrees
of security.
You can store backup copies on your own hard disk. This is
a high-risk strategy because you will not be able to recover
data if the hard disk fails. Also your disk will become full
twice as quickly.
You can store backup copies on another hard disk in the
office. This is safer than storing backups on your own hard
disk and it is easy to retrieve the backed up data. However
the backup data will still be at risk.
A safer thing to do is store backup copies onto another
medium such as CD-R or tape. You can then remove the
backups from the office and store them offsite. A combination
of this and the previous method is probably best.

Copyright
Software Copyright
Most software is copyrighted, which means that the right to make copies lies
only with its producer. The same law applies to a number of different products,
such as pre-recorded videotapes and music CDs. It is illegal to copy, share or
lend copyrighted material.
Important Point
A company may have hundreds of employees who need the same software
on their computers. Software manufacturers do not expect such companies to
buy individual copies of the software for each employee. Instead, they will
issue an end-user license agreement, which means that the company can
install the software on an agreed number of computers for their employees to
use.
The Data Protection Act 1998 regulates how personal data is collected,
stored and used. Confidentiality (i.e. the right to keep sensitive and personal
information private) is now the right of each individual. We now have some
control over how information about us is used, and can prevent data being
passed between companies for marketing purposes, e.g. mass mailings.
Your rights:
You have the right to find out what information about you is held.
You have the right to correct or delete your personal data.
You have the right to prevent processing your personal data that
may cause damage or distress to you or anyone.
You have the right to stop a data controller processing your data
for direct marketing
You have the right to prevent a data controller making a decision
only by using an automated process such as credit ranking.
If you have suffered damage or distress due to any breach of the
act, you can claim compensation.

NOTE
When using the Move tool to place sections from one picture into another you
need to remember that once you have sized and positioned the image
selection you need to commit that selection – either using the Commit Tick or
pressing the ENTER key. Otherwise the computer may appear to freeze and
some menu items be greyed out. Until the software knows that you are
finished placing the selection it is waiting for an input. ENTER is easiest.
