iPhoto In-Class Assignment

Choose three photos from the Photos file on Blackboard.  After you download them to your desktop and import them into iPhoto, manipulate each photo in at least five ways to improve the photos.  When you are finished, export the three photos to your desktop.  Then, upload them to your blog and detail the changes you made to each photo and why.  I'll be looking for the best edited photos.  The winners will receive two extra credit points on the Photo/Soundscape project.
