Unit 2 - Working with Color
This is the original photograph that I started with. It is a high quality .jpg file. The file size is 57K.
 I added my name with the type tool, then saved the image as a medium quality .jpg which reduced the file size to 10K.
I duplicated the background layer. Change to layer option to color, then colored it green. Then took the opacity down to around 50% - saved as medium quality .jpg. File size: 9K. I duplicated the background layer, colored it yellow, then took the opacity down to 10% - saved as high quality .jpg. File size: 37K.
