Editing
Editing
We will study how images can be edited to mis-represent reality. We will practice editing on an editing software to allow pupils to see how images are modified and what tools are used for this purpose.
What is editing?
What is editing?
Editing has always existed since humans have produced pictures. Today, editing is everywhere and can mis-represent reality. As a result it is important to be able to recognise edited pictures.
How do we use an editing software?
How do we use an editing software?
During this unit we use PixlR. This allow us to explore an editing software.
That way, we develop skills related to using a new software, using different tools appropriately and making good choices according to a set of requirements.
In Computing we focus on 5 main skills:
