Photoshop calculations

I'm having a bit more luck using Photoshop calculations for masking. Here is a tutorial that I used: http://www.deke.com/content/photoshop-top-40-feature-33-calculations

For Monday, June 28

For this evening we'll spend some time on Project 5 and the rest of the class will be open for any work you want to do. I want everyone to photograph themselves to get the project started - I'll have camera and tripod ready.

I will get to school around 230 and will be available to advise and will have bookbinding materials available if you need anything

Please read the essay for discussion this eve - Post Human.Jeffrey Deitch.pdf
