Sign in with your student email and password.
Once in, you can download and install the software shown. You need Photoshop for this project, but you can install any of the available programs to try out.

Note: if you ever can't find a window or panel you're looking for, go to the top of the screen, click Window, then whichever panel you're looking for, such as Layers.

Also: if you get stuck, you should try googling what you're stuck on. There are soooooo many Photoshop guides - if this one is confusing to you, use Google as your personal guide! You can also contact me, obviously. Google will just be faster.

STEP 4: SAVE

When you're working in Photoshop, the app will want to save the file as a Photoshop file or the same type of file. You'll need to submit your file as a PNG file. Here's how to do it:

Go to File > Save As...
Under Format, choose PNG
Make sure you're saving it in the folder you want
Click Save
Choose Large file size
Click OK

STEP 5: SUBMIT

To submit your work:

Open the week's assignment in Google Classroom
Click the Add or create button on the upper right-hand side
Choose File
Find the saved image on your computer. You just need to submit 1 image.
