PhotoShop Workshop:
Michelle Echevarria, a Web Designer_Developer, was our guest lecturer for the night. She gave a basic overview of PhotoShop. We took a screen shot of a web site, and brought the image into PhotoShop. We learned about using layers and reducing the image of the web site so that you can include it in your web portfolio. Visit her website http://www.bronxplanet.com
