Photo Retouch

You should have both your portrait and profile photo approved now. Take both photos and open them in Photoshop. Use the adjustments and parts (e.g. clone tool) Photoshop tutorials you completed to improve your two photos. Also, check out these retouch tutorials and try some of the tools.

Profile Photo

Crop the photo (keep the photo composition rules in mind) so that it is square in size (all sides about equal). When you are finished, make it your profile photo on your main class applications: Gmail, Posterous, Picasa, Twitter, & YouTube. Also, send it to posterous and post it on MF picasa.

Portrait Photo

Open a new Photoshop file that is 8 inches x 8 inches, 300 dpi or use the 8x8CubePhotosTemplate. Insert your approved profile photo into it. Make sure that the photo is not small when it is inserted because if you have to resize to make it larger, it may become very pixelated. You will want to use the original photo. Make any adjustments to the photo and keep the photo composition rules in mind. When you are finished, send it to posterous and post it on MF picasa.
