Please review all your Tests and Quizzes, as well as your notes on iLife, Digital, Digital Cameras, Photoshop and Resolution & File Formats.

This week (January 11 - 15) you can work on the Photoshop "Poster Exercise" that is part of your Midterm Exam. I know this exercise, if well done, will require more time than the time slotted for the Digital Applications Midterm. Please check the "Midterm 2010" Folder in iLife06 in the Server. Read the instructions carefully and feel free to ask questions to Mrs. Feld. You will also find the Review Puzzles in there. You can work on this "Poster Exercise" during this week and complete the 12 Second Quarter Exercises. I must be able to find these in the Server (your Digital Applications Folder) under Public. Thanks for your cooperation!

Reminder: the movie (iMovie) "Story of My Life" is part of the Second Quarter Class Work and it must be in QuickTime format. If I don't find this movie in your Digital Applications folder in the Server I have to give you and "F" in this project (I don't want to do that!)
