Explain what the dpi is for pictures for the web and for print and why they are different. Describe 3 Photoshop tools that you learned this week.
The DPI for pictures for the web, and the DPI for pictures that are to be printed are very different. DPI stands for dots per inch. When you save a picture for the web your resolution for your pricture must be set to 72, because the internet can only hold so much, otherwise it would look pixelated. For a printer to print out clearly, the picture resolution must be at 300, so that it prints out looking like the origional picture did. Three different tools I learned in Photoshop this week were the Magic Wand Tool, the Brush Tool, and the Gradient Color Tool. The Magic Wand Tool is a tool that allows you to delete unwanted space or color from behind a picture. The Brush Tool allows you to brush on shapes, and images. Lastly, the Gradient Color Tool allows you to take mutiple colors and give it a fading gradient looking effect.
