Google Day #2

goals
1. create a gif animation from a you tube video
2. how to move an image without leaving trace
3. learn how to use photoshop

1. Create a GIF animation from You Tube videos
i found a useful website that allows me and helps me create gifs but not with pictures but videos using a useful website.
 http://gickr.com/from_youtube#.UIlZvW-ClLc
http://uk.bloggif.com/video
all you need to do is put the link of the video you want to convert and the website will do it for you.

http://www.howtogeek.com/72084/convert-youtube-videos-to-animated-gifs-the-easy-way-no-photoshop/
the link above shows you tutorials of how to use websites like this, so that you dont have the need to use photoshop or some other advanced programs that are really hard to use and take a lot of time.




the gif above, was a gif i did!!! i took a video that was already in the computer, and transformed it intoa picture using websites and patience.

and, for people who have a mac. there is a much easier way of doing it and a better quality than a pc. the link above shows you how to perfectly do it with easy steps, plus the quality is much better.

2. how to move objects around an image without leaving trace
in this video, they show you how to move objects around and image and then they show you how not to leave the trace of the object you used by replacing it with another part of the image. the video is really informative but in order for me to use it i need photoshop CS6 beta which is awesome.

3. experiment with photoshop 
i started experimenting with photoshop. simply experimenting what tool there were and i even edited one of my pictures.

this was the before picture with no photoshop

this was the after picture with photoshop


one thing i would like to learn next class is keep using photoshop but this time, not experiment but look at tutorials and start making more difficult things. also find more cool effects for editing pictures.
