Viet Cong prisoner in Saigon. The prisoner had just murdered eight Southern Vietnamese.

• The photograph turned some Americans against the war and haunted Loan for the rest of his life.

• This is a shocking photograph, but it is important in the history of the United States and in the course of the Vietnam War. In newspapers and on TV, we often see disturbing images, but they have a place in our culture and in our shared visual history.

The DS #8 assignment is to take one of our photos that has bad lighting, color balance, exposure and use Photoshop tools, such as layer and mask, color balance, levels, curves and color dodge, to correct the color cast and exposure

The DS #8 assignment is due May 13

Photoshop layers are like sheets of stacked acetate. You can see through transparent areas of a layer to the layers below. You move a layer to position the content on the layer, like sliding a sheet of acetate in a stack. You can also change the opacity of a layer to make content partially transparent.

It allows you to control a layer’s level of transparency.

The terms "dodge" and "burn" refer to techniques that were used to either lighten (dodge) or darken (burn) specific areas of a photo by increasing or limiting the exposure in those areas.

I can look up a good tutorial on youtube or google or even the Adobe Photoshop site
