Now You See It - Now You Don't

The middle school students are working with pictures.

Some classes are learning how to select and insert the perfect image to compliment a story. Other classes are learning how to modify an image to more clearly make a point. Frequently, finding that perfect picture is an iterative process. By carefully trimming away any extraneous fluff, you can approach your ideal image.

Rumor has it, that Michelangelo was thought to sometimes employ these same skills (but without any keyboard shortcuts).



Bummer about the bear, but I think the warning has merit.

At school, we recently celebrated All Saints Day. As part of that observation, it's helpful to recall the words of St Augustine "There is no saint without a past. There is no sinner without a future."  This is especially true if you happen to be the IT Guy at school.

What does this have to do with editing images? Simply this - if we seek God's forgiveness, we can edit out the mistakes of our past and make our future a better thing.
