Q3, Week 6:  On Friday, those of you who were in class had the opportunity to finish the online tutorial videos for the ballerina photo.  You learned how to crop an image, adjust the canvas size and color, and how/why to softproof a file.  In addition, you received a GRADE for answering these questions in your notes:
  1. What does it mean to FLATTEN a file?
  2. What are the reasons you might choose to flatten a file?
  3. What are the consequences for flattening a file?
  4. What steps do you take (what do you click) to flatten a file?
If you were not with us on Thursday/Friday, please listen to the videos and update your notes.
