The Evil that is 'Centimetres'
Scale Auto Cad from MM to CM
If you have drawn in cm (which as we know construction is always in Metres or mm) not to worry. As with metres follow the instructions for creating your own scale, but this time instead of writing 1000 (ie 1000mm =1m) and then the scale you desire (1:100 i think) you put in the box 100 (as 100cm = 1M).

With right image the Oil filter works a treat
Garish Original
A basic tutorial on what features are new (must admit I found a load more in brushes).

With right image the Oil filter works a treat
Garish Original
Oil Filter plus some Image Adjustment (too dull, over did it, but when viewed in full screen a lot better)
Its a matter of deciding the function of the image i.e. stand out or may be a bit more atmospheric on closer inspection. The Oil certainly has more movement and atmosphere.

Assignment One More detail
Detail
More detail for the first assignment.
CD
Power point
As you all performed so well on the practice run (plus a new schedule) I would like you all to produce a Power Point or Keynote (mac) slide show with at least one slide showing your AutoCAD drawing from the layout view saved as a pdf or a screen shot (more if necessary), images of the purposed site for your bench and context images/explanation.
Brief bullet points, picture paints a thousand words, less is more, and convince me!
This will be good for you as its difficult to do, a real challenge,
10 slides max.
AutoCAD Drawing
A dwg file on the CD, with all the layers, layouts and annotation.
Sketch Book
Scan and show images/thoughts as Jpeg images on the disc in a
in a file called: Sketch book.
This is about the process.
Printed
A2 to the relevant scale for the size of paper (see videos)
Dimensions, annotation and title block (bench name, name, scale, date etc)

FE Fly through Sketch-up
Have a Go!
What could possibly go wrong! Don't worry if it does not work at first, thus try only 5 scenes to make sure your settings work.
Follow the instructions on the video and all should be crystal and sharp.
As a bonus may be do two or three short scenes (6 or 7 per shot)
It does not take long to set up, just a long time to Render (2-6hours depending on computer age/speed)

AutoCAD Annotation to Print
Clumsy but effective
A work around to get your annotation to work, there are other ways, but this is a simple way to get a result. As you get more familiar with AutCAD then the other options will come into play.
Trying to an avoid overload of information and thus lead to some confidence on the basics.

Photoshop' How did it do that' syndrome.
The Annual 'WOW' update
Every update Adobe try and put some surprise in the programme, well 'content aware' was the CS5 jaw dropper.
Easy to do, for an astounding effect.
(note Mac users with old Macs, make sure you are running 64bit not 32 anything from Leopard onwards, post 2006, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hle1cf7QVL8 also early CS5 make sure you have the latest updates as there is a bug on Content Aware for large areas CS5.5 no problem).
Videos
Explaing two ways to use 'Content Aware' plus Photomerge.

I forgot to get rid of the aerials as we did in class, as this is the obvious improvement to the image, so an operation for content aware in removing them as we did in the North By North West image, removing Cary Grant.

Photoshop
Photoshop
Four videos taking you through the basics of cutting out an image from one photograph and transferring it to another.Then moving on to re-size, transform, flip, adjusting tone, adding shadow, enabling and disabling masks, filter gallery and finally some extra bits and bobs to play with.
When you get to the point that you have to do work for Rod with Visual design then use these video's for reference, but don't be limited by what is shown, experiment, photoshop is a massive programme.
Note
Always worth creating extra layers if you are unsure about a new move. Don't forget to 'Save' at regular intervals as there is no automatic background back up.
Finally
When you are done 'save' as a photoshop file (psp) then flatten the image (right click on your background layer at the bottom of the layers pallet, at the bottom of the drop down 'Flatten image', click to flatten, say yes to discarding unused layers. Then the format dialogue box will come up, click on the drop down on file type and choose jpeg, PDF, etc. Save and continue through the other commands thinking about the size of the file you want).
Its a good idea to save a PSP, (flattened)Jpeg and (flattened)PDF. As some printers can be quirky with either jpeg or PDF (the psp is in an unflattened state so you can edit your layers at another time, this file will be large thus the need for flattening to reduce the file size for printing, typically A1 colour pdf should be no more than 10mb).
More to follow.
Work through these for practice. After easter on the second assignment we will eventually use photoshop to put your 3D bench in the space that has been chosen with some extra people. Switched around so you can complete Rods Sequence photographs.
