Photoshop Express

I signed up for the free account with Photoshop Express. I took a picture of my cat, and I used the editing tools to make only the red stand out. I then added some red and green balloons around his head. I took a picture of me and my dog and made it black and white. Then I added a post it note border around it. The last one I edited was a picture of my girlfriend and me. I changed it to a red tint, cropped it, and added silly costume pieces (a bow tie and glasses). I had fun with this assignment. Again it was another instance where I've seen pictures with only one color popping out and wondered how they were created. Photoshop skills could be useful in the classroom as a teaching tool and as a useful skill for students in today's media-rich, communication-driven culture.
