Good morning,

As we approach the end of first semester, please remind students to register for their first semester (and year-long while they are in there!) courses before the end of the semester.  We do not have a first semester payment deadline – all payments are due by June 6th – but we HIGHLY RECOMMEND first semester students pay now so that they don’t forget at the end of the school year.  As a reminder, we cannot go back and retroactively give credits. 

Year-long students can register now and either pay now or wait until spring to make sure they will earn the necessary B grade or better.

Resources:
Registration instructions can be found here under the local resources heading on our website here:
1. http://sers.techprepwa.org/
2. Create an account (fill in all areas with a red dot). Submit.
3. Register for classes

There is also a PowerPoint and Registration video you can download to walk students through the process. 

The link to the payment site can be found here: http://pay.techprepcc.org.

Thanks so much for your support and help in offering this opportunity to students!

6/1: Portrait & Fashion Adjustments

1. Please look through your photos and pick you 20 best portrait pictures. 
6-7 from each day. Make sure these 20 showcase a variety or angles and camera compositions.
 Simply put, make sure these photos are examples of many of the Portrait Hints you used last week.
2. Start editing your portrait and self-portrait photos in Photoshop using the techniques below.
 You should make your subjects look like supermodels!
To get rid of blemishes or red marks on the face:
Use Clone Stamp
Change Blend Mode to lighten
Sample a portion of the face with "nice"skin
To eliminate a glow or shine on the face:
Use Clone Stamp
Change Blend Mode to darken
Sample a portion of the face with "nice"skin

I don't expect you to edit all of the pictures today. You will have Monday as well.
Please spend roughly 8-12 minutes editing each picture. Don't forget basic crops and color adjustments.
