Microsoft Powerpoint

Microsoft Powerpoint?

It is an application that we use during presentations. We use it to make presentations less boring. In Powerpoint, you hone your skills in summarizing your presentation and also your creativity. You get to choose which animation and transition you will use. Overall, Powerpoint is your best bud during presentations.

Our Project

For our project, our English teacher collaborated with our Computer Science teacher. We were assigned to create a "mini movie" of our own version of the poem "A Letter to Pedro".

This project, though tiring and requires a lot of effort ,is fun. We kept on repeating some scenes. 

Another fun part was when we were creating the movie itself. We argued many times on which transition we should use and what background music to play.

Some Photoshop Fail Pictures

Advantages of Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop has many wonders. I'm amazed on how they programmed Photoshop.

Those dull pictures? Not anymore a problem. You can just edit it using Photoshop, then, tada! You now have an improved version of that picture.

Having a hard time creating a tarpaulin layout? Try using Photoshop and create a better one. You can also easily import some pictures.

Wanna create a good poster? Photoshop is here! With so many options to make your poster more attractive, Photoshop will be your best bud while working.


 

Which is Better, MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop?

For You, which is better, Paint or Photoshop?

I guess most of your answers are Photoshop. Why? Because Photoshop is the latest. In Paint, you cannot edit pictures as you do in Photoshop. It is hard to make magazine covers, tarpaulins, posters, and brochures using MS Paint. Not that I'm criticizing paint but in terms of those things, Photoshop is the best application to use.

However, if you answered MS Paint, it's just alright. If you are artistic enough, MS Paint is the application for you. Paint can also be a good pastime,  also to hone the hidden artist in you.

So, what are your answers? Pain or Photoshop? :D

Some Tips in Using Photoshop

These are some tips that I learned from our Computer Science 1 class:

1. In order for you to easily edit some little things in that photo or  file, create many layers and do it separately.

2. For editing pixelated pictures, you can utilize the blur tool.

3. If you think the text or shapes in the photo are dull, you can put some effects to it like drop shadow, bevel and emboss, outer glow, etc.

What is Photoshop?

PHOTOSHOP...

Everytime you hear it, what comes to your mind? A shop where you can print pictures or an application?

Photoshop is the most useful photo editing application. It is one of the most common application used nowadays. Now, how does Photoshop help us anyway?

In Photoshop, you can edit pictures. Well, that's the main purpose of it. But, you can also make layouts of tarpaulins, magazines, posters, etc.

Photoshop helped us, students, in many ways. We used it to create a layout of the tarpaulin for our research. So, Photoshop, thank you. :D

What is Microsoft Paint?


What is MS Paint?







Paint (formerly Paintbrush for Windows) is a simple graphics painting program that has been included with all versions of Microsoft Windows. It is often referred to as MS Paint or Microsoft Paint. The program opens and saves files as Windows bitmap (24-bit, 256 color, 16 color, and monochrome, all with the .bmp extension), JPEG, GIF (without animation or transparency, although the Windows 98 version, a Windows 95 upgrade, and the Windows NT4 version did support the latter), PNG (without alpha channel), and TIFF (without multiple page support). The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but there is no grayscale mode. For its simplicity, it rapidly became one of the most used applications in the early versions of Windows—introducing many to painting on a computer for the first time—and still has strong associations with the immediate usability of the old Windows workspace.

Well, that's how wikipedia defines it. But for me, it is a fun and entertaining application. Though it's not a game, it reveals the artist hidden in you. So, by using microsoft paint, you can make your own artwork and print it. Or better yet, upload it.
