1. full photography curriculum
   1. SWBAT identify industry standard software for raster graphics editing
      1. SWBAT state that raster graphics software allows a user to manipulate images, such as photos, that are made up of pixels
         1. SWBAT state that pixels are dots of color on a computer monitor or paper, and that each pixel is a single color
         2. SWBAT state that the number of "ppi," or "pixels per inch," is referred to as the document's resolution
            1. SWBAT summarize the difference between screen resolution and print resolution when choosing the ppi of a document
            2. SWBAT state that screens (monitors) have a variety of resolutions, and that images intended for display only (such as web or video images) should have pixel dimensions that are sized for web or video
            3. SWBAT state that common pixel dimensions for screen display in the US are 640x480 for websites, 720x480 for standard television, and 1280x1080 for high definition televison
            4. SWBAT state that images intended for print should have a resolution of 150 ppi or higher, and that professional prints should be 300 ppi
            5. SWBAT state that a high ppi image can be scaled down for proper screen display, but that a low ppi image cannot be scaled up for proper print display, and therefore that any image intended for screen or print display should be created at a high ppi
   2. student will be able to execute proper file management techniques for digital media projects
      1. student will be able to import photos into a computer
      2. student will be able to name files appropriately, including understanding basic conventions of file extensions
      3. student will be able to create, move, and name folders
      4. student will be able to view, organize, and analyze groups of photos
      5. student will be able to choose to properly file edited photos and original photos
   3. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of basic photo retouching tools
      1. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of the crop tool to select the part of an image he or she wants to keep
      2. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of red-eye removal tool to remove artificial color in a subject's eye
      3. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of the clone tool to stamp one part of an image over another part
      4. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of healing tool to remove image irregularities or smooth blemishes
      5. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of sharpen, blur, and smudge tools
         1. SWBAT state that the sharpen tool increases contrast between neighboring colors, therefore making the image sharper
         2. SWBAT state that the blur tool decreases the contrast between neighboring colors, therefore making the image softer
         3. SWBAT state that the smudge tool blends neighboring color pixels together, therefore smearing the image
      6. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of the dodge, burn, and saturate tools
         1. SWBAT state that the dodge tool lightens colors where you use it
         2. SWBAT state that the burn tool darkens colors where you use it
         3. SWBAT state that the saturate tool makes colors stronger or weaker where you use it, depending on whether you choose "saturate" or "desaturate"
   4. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of digital photo manipulations
      1. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of levels adjustments
      2. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of hue / saturation adjustment
      3. student will be able to demonstrate proper use of brightness and contrast adjustment
      4. student will be able to demonstrate basic understanding of photo masking
      5. SWBAT demonstrate proper use of photo filtering, including creating smart objects if possible
2. objective: Given a computer with available raster graphics editing software and a folder containing student generated digital photos, learner will be able to demonstrate the proper use of photo editing tools to produce a professionally edited image
