Make sure you accept the invite (sent to your email) that gives you permission to post on the Galley Blog!
Q: After I accept the invite where do I post my Gallery blog inventory list again?
A: http://summerlandscapesgallery.blogspot.com/
***Follow the direction given in a previous post "Sending things from this blog to the gallery blog"
The fastest method for transferring things from your personal blog to the class blog is copying and pasting the html because this is allowing you to grab EVERYTHING you posted and re-post all at once. Once you paste EVERYTHING to the gallery blog you can switch from HTML to "compose" and delete the images that don't make the cut.

Sending things from this blog to the gallery blog
What you send to the Gallery Blog should be executed in ONE post!
1. After you choose what will make it into the final selection for the gallery blog click on the edit button below the images you wish to transfer.
2. Make sure you are in HTML mode! The other mode (that we do not want) is called "Compose".
3. Copy the HTML code for your post.
4. In another tab, open the gallery blog (this will allow you to go back and forth). Click new post, make sure you are in HTML mode and Paste!
5. Now click update to see if the image or images transferred successfully.
**** there is a blogger button at the bottom of each post that could also transfer your post to the gallery blog. Feel free to try it. If that doesn't work use the above method.
Other ways to capture frames
Q: Can I make the entire animation in Photoshop?
A: Yes! Using photoshop you can convert layers to frames and then export as a .mov file. There are tutorials for this on Youtube.
Q: Can I take video and then create a stop motion from that?
A: Yes! You can use software like Istopmotion to capture frames.
Q: Can I create the entire animation using Imovie.
A: Yes. Tutorial is below.

Please remember to .........
Please leave a copy of your files in the storage drive on the scanner station's Hard drive.
1. Make a folder with your name.
2. Inside that should be folders for drawing, painting, and cyanotypes
***these should be your original 300dpi scans.

Re-cap of Monday and Tuesday
Monday we learned:
- About the size of HD videos
- How to batch process files using Photoshop and Adobe Bridge
- How to create and run an action
- How to convert JPG files into a .MOV
- How to use a scanner - paying attention to file type (tif) and print resolution (300)
- We finished with the file convertions from jpg to .mov
- Started on importing video into imovie to add audio
- continued scanning
Manipulated and Layed images
1. The Custom Manipulation:
Take any of your cyanotypes and experiment with alterations, filters and adjustment layers. The goal is again to create something very different from the original.
Final image should be a jpg - 500 pixels at the smallest dimension.
2. The Layered Image
Crop the images you want to work with to 500 pixels at the smallest dimension. Then, drag and drop them on top of one another and begin

Let's Start Blogging!
1. create a blog using blogger.com
2. Upload the following:
Tips: Scanning is going to give you a much better image. So, most of the time it is worth taking the extra effort to do this. Paintings and other things that are too large to on the scanner bed can be photographed and uploaded that way.
You can always take a quick photo with your phone and upload those as place holders. Then, when you have a better photo, click the edit button below your post and replace the old images with the newer versions.
We will officially start this as a class on Monday. But you may want to get a jump on this over the weekend.

Cyanotypes
Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue
print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a
simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to
as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ammonium iron(III) citrate and potassium ferricyanide.
The English scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel discovered the procedure in 1842.[1] Though the process was developed by Herschel, he considered it as mainly a means of reproducing notes and diagrams, as in blueprints.[2] It was Anna Atkins who brought this to photography. She created a limited series of cyanotype books that documented ferns and other plant life from her extensive seaweed collection.[3] Atkins placed specimens directly onto coated paper, allowing the action of light to create a silhouette effect. By using this photogram process, Anna Atkins is regarded as the first female photographer.[4]
n a cyanotype, a blue is usually the desired color; however, there are a variety of effects that can be achieved. These fall into three categories: reducing, intensifying and toning.[6]
Reducing is the process of reducing the intensity of the blue. Sodium carbonate, ammonia, Clorox, TSP, borax, Dektol and other reagents can be used to do this. A good easily obtained reducer is Sunlight laundry detergent.[citation needed] When using a reducer it is important to pull the cyanotype out of the weak solution and put the cyanotype into a water bath to arrest the bleaching process.
Intensifying is the strengthening of the blue effect. These reagents can also be used to expedite the oxidation process the cyanotype undergoes. These reagents are hydrogen peroxide, citric acid, lemon juice, and vinegar.[6]
Toning is the process used to change the color of the iron in the print cyanotype.[6] The colour change varies with the reagent used. There are a variety of elements that can be used, including tannic acid, oolong tea, wine, cat urine, and pyrogallic acid.[6]
