1. In class, edit your final four cube photos in PS. Be sure they all have a similar look and feel. Download the Photoshop Cube Template
2. or
3. open PS and create a new size document, 6 inches high and 4 inches long, 300 resolution, RGB. On the keyboard press cmd + r to show your rulers. Change your preferences to inches shown on the screenshot on the right.

1. Open your four photos and insert them (cmd + a, then cmd + c, then go to your PS document and press cmd + v to paste your photos in) into your document as different layers; give each layer a title according to the subject of the photo (e.g. jumping dog). Cmd + t & transform your photo to fit into the 6x4 document. When you are editing one photo, hide the other photos layer.Unhide the layer Black Bottom Rectangle and make sure it is the top layer or add a two inch tall black rectangle across the bottom of the document; use the rulers at the top and right side to see size so that the photo is square in size. Your photo should cover 4x4in. Move and resize only at the corners of the photo to keep the same ratio (important). Make sure the original photo is not too small and you have to make it much bigger...it will print pixelated. When you position your photo on the 4x6 PS document, keep in mind composition and use the guidelines to help you position the photo.When you are finished editing each photo, save it as a JPG full quality. It will only save what appears on the document. If you have hidden layers, they will not show on the JPG photo, which is what you want. It is important that these photos are saved well because they will be used to print. Use the final name classIDcube1, classIDcube2, classIDcube3, & classIDcube4. Upload it to your Edited Cube Picasa album in order of your best shots (first shot is your best shot). In the caption type the grade you received from Mr. Heil on the shot.

On a new layer above all the other layers, insert your signature photo in the bottom right or left corner so it is not too distracting.(e)

Upload your self-portrait photo, without the black rectangle with your name, only your photo, to the MF Picasa Self-Portrait If you want to make a more elaborate title photo like this example, you can, but I don't suggest it.
