COMP8035 Class 05.3

I met with each student and discussed his/her essay and/or presentation.

COMP6023 Class 05.4

We looked at compression, interpolation, indexed colour and dithering.

After class the class rep told me that some students were concerned because I had flagged blog posts that needed attention, but had not detailed exactly what was wrong with them.  In almost all of those cases there problems were errors of spelling or grammar.  Blog posts with incorrect spelling and grammar will get low marks.  However, it it up to each student check the blog posts for errors.  I did that for the first week, so that each student was aware of the kinds of errors he or she was making. But I won't be doing that for subsequent posts.  Furthermore, the absence of a comment from me is not an indication that it was perfect.

COMP6023 Class 05.3

We looked at the Lab and CYMK colours systems.

COMP6023 Classes 05.1 & 05.2

I showed students how to use Photoshop to save images at various quality settings. I explained everything needed for the assignment.

I showed students how to make pages in Blogger.

I mentioned during the lab that anyone using a logarithmic scale instead of a linear one, would want to explain that choice in the report. Otherwise it will come across as a mistake rather than a deliberate choice.

COMP8035 Classes 05.1 & 05.2

Brian, Karl, and Dillion gave presentations.

COMP6023 Photoshop

Photoshop can be used for very sophisticated image editing. We will use very few of its features in this class.  But it's a great tool to learn if you have the time.

There are lots of tutorials online.

So many that there is even a parody of them.
