Open in Photoshop
We are going to now remove the background leaving ONLY THE ARTWORK
We have two cropping tools, depending on how well you lined up the sides of your work during the original photo shoot will dictate which to use
Make a box around your image
this one wasn't lined up initially, so there is still background visible
Click on each corner of your image
this uses maths to get a proper perspective and remove the background
If you feel like you need to change Brightness/Contrast, Levels, Curves, Exposure that's ok.
As long as you are not completly altering the original image, you do not need to check "use of digital tools"
Anything else, you will need to check that box when uploading to AP
Once everything looks good:
File - Save a Copy...
Give it a name you will remember ONLY LETTERS AND NUMBERS
Make sure you know WHERE you are saving it...I made a folder called AP Edited Photos
Click Save
The AP Portfolio photos need to be 4MB or less
Move the slider from 0-12 to get the closest to 4MB or under as you can
too big!!
less than 4
Click OK
Your photo is now saved and ready to upload to the AP College Board
