Why do we do minor projects? Check out the link below:
Mark Lawrence Photographers
Companies like Mark Lawrence charge a great deal of money to restore old photographs for which there are no
negatives. They use Adobe Photoshop just like we do, and each individual restoration is done in a unique way that
must be figured out by the restorer. This is a great skill to have, and one that will undoubtedly come in handy at
some point in your future.

The nine minor projects below are due by the end of the 1st Quarter
You can do them in any order you choose, but you must do all of them. They should be posted on your website on a page titled "Minor Projects". You should put the before and after versions next to each other using a "PHOTO GALLERY". Please make sure they are linked to a larger sized image (A Photo Gallery does this automatically). See me if you are unsure how to do any of this. If you do not post them to your site, if they are not linked to a larger size, or if they are not placed in the before and after format, it will reflect in your grade.
Place the painting into the gallery, once on each panel by selecting the painting on the left using the polygonal lasso tool, dragging it to the image of the gallery on the right, and using the transform controls (edit>transform>distort) to fit it to the correct perspective of each of the five framed artworks on the gallery walls.
The Dropped Pocket Watch...was the pre-digital age equivalent to the cracked iPod/iPhone screen. Unfortunately, there was no Apple store to repair the glass cover of a pocket watch, nor was there an Ebay where you could buy a new cover and 11 piece repair kit for $5.99 from a Top Rated Seller with over 50,000 positive feedbacks. So, to try to make things right, download both images (hi-res versions, please, as indicated by the "orig" extension in the save dialogue box), and fix the face of the stopwatch using the parts in the second image. Don't forget to set the correct time (let's go with 5:07), and to edit:transform:rotate, distort, skew, and warp as necessary to fit the new clock face into the space left for it on the old pocket watch. Good luck!
To continue refining your selecting skills, select Daisy (?) Duck out of her background and place her in the teal cut out above her.
"Fix" the old photographs below using the Photoshop tools that you've learned to use so far, as well as any web resources that you need to make them look new...Obviously, simply clone stamping from one to another is NOT what I'm asking you to do...be resourceful!

Using the Quick Mask Tool
Sometimes objects in photographs are difficult to select using the traditional Photoshop selecting tools. In the photograph below, extracting Johnny Depp's character Edward Scissorhands from the background would be almost impossible using the Magic Wand, the Lasso tools, even the Quick Select tool. That is because of the complex texture of his hair in this image. However, by using the Quick Mask tool, it can be done much more effectively.
To use a Quick Mask, make any selection using any selecting tool on any part of the face. See images below to see how to click on the Quick Mask tool.
After selecting the Quick Mask tool, select the Paint Brush tool and "paint" your selection. Alternating between black and white as the foreground color to paint in or paint out the selection. Clicking back on the Quick Mask tool will alternate between the clear area looking like a mask and looking like a selection.
Who is Mickey Mantle?
Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all-time. He still holds the record for hitting the longest home run at 656
feet! That's over one eighth of a mile! His 1953 Topps rookie card, in Mint 9 condition, sold for over 2.8 million dollars two years
ago. My Dad tells me that he had three of them when he was a kid. Although they were not in Mint 9 condition, they were in decent
condition and would still be worth a few hundred thousand dollars each. When he left for the army at 18 years old, his mother
turned his room into a sewing room and threw out all of his stuff, including the three Mantle rookies. Thanks a lot Gram!

The 1968 Topps baseball card below was found on the floor at a sports card convention by myself back in the late 1970's. The
damage was probably done by some kid who wrote on it, creased it, put it in his pocket, etc. Bring it back to it's original condition
using the Adobe Photoshop tools that you have learned about so far.. Depending on condition, it is worth between $300 and $3,000.
