Tolerance
In Photoshop tolerance describes a certain distance between adjacent pixels. Tolerance is used with the Wand Tool for making selections and the Paint Bucket Tool for painting. The tolerance values can be adjusted for these tools. For example, when the Wand Tool is set to a tolerance of one, only a small selection will be created because the distance between the selected pixel value and adjacent pixels is only one.

Objectives:

• Select a photograph of a bottle.  (Photo must be approved)

• Create texture palette.
• Identify the different values in your composition and fill those areas with texture from your texture palette.

Focus: Copy the following definitions into Evernote.

Magic Wand Tool- selects pixels based on tone and color.

Quick Selection Tool- selects pixels based on tone, color & TEXTURE.  Also, unlike the the magic wand, the quick selection works more like a brush, allowing us to select areas simply by "painting" over them.

Objectives:

• Select a photograph of a bottle.  (Photo must be approved)

• Create texture palette.
• Identify the different values in your composition and fill those areas with texture from your texture palette.

• Complete Animal Zentangle

Closure: Copy the following definitions into Evernote.

Lasso Tool: To make a selection, simply drag the lasso around the area you want to select. When you return to your starting point your selection will become the marching ants.

Polygonal Lasso:  This will allow you to make straight sided selections. Click to set the starting point then click every time you want to anchor the lasso.

Magnetic Lasso: Click to set the anchor point for your magnetic lasso tool, then moving along the edge of your image. Photoshop will snap the magnetic tool to the edge of the image.

Focus:  Monochromatic Colors: A monochromatic color palette is comprised of colors from the same hue, with variation in shade, tint, and value.

Objectives:

Closure: 

Value 

In color theory, value refers to the relative lightness or darkness of a color. By removing hue from the equation, we can create a simple value scale that shifts from white to black through a series of grays. When white is added to a hue, the resulting tint will be lighter in  value. The addition of black produces a darker shade. The addition of both white and black creates a tone.
