Sound Intro and Hearing Loss

Sound travels in waves. Other ways to measure sound include frequency and amplitude. One more thing I learned from the video is that architects design buildings so that the sound wont bounce off sound and everything will sound perfect.
The today show video we watched was about adults and hearing loss. This man had bad hearing loss but was scared to wear hearing aids because he would get judged. The video made me think about how loud I listen to music, because especially in my car I turn up my music really loud and I probably should stop.

Photoshop skills

In Photoshop, we used many different tools to edit our photos. One tool that I thought was really cool was the neon glow tool. All you have to do is select a picture, desaturate it, and click the neon glow tool. Then you can pick a color you want to choose.

Another tool I liked a lot, was the spot tool. You can pick any color you want to use, and make it the only color that shows up. All you have to do is change the picture to desaturate, add a layer, go to paintbrush and select a color you want. Then just paint over where the color is that you want highlighted.
