Poodles, Robots, Layers and Due Date Anxiety-

Henry Is a Poodle.

Henry George is staying with me for a whole week and he made a guest appearance to class on Tuesday. Henry was a little freaked out initially probably because he was insecure about never having been to school himself. I’m sure all talk of artificial intelligence was quite too much for a small poodle.

TED Tuesday: Robots

 

About the Talk

 

Cynthia Breazeal dreams of a world where robots are not sci-fi enigmas but as  living room essentials. Cynthia and her team explore the ins and outs of mechanized emoting, teaching and play. Ultimately she would like to see a fully interactive robot that responds to human behaviors.

Layer Group Demo

Liina has been demonstrating handy tricks in photoshop and Tuesday was no exception. She Showed the class how keep organized when working with a photoshop document that has many layers. Here is a video I found on Adobe TV about all the functions of layers in photoshop.

Basically, all you have to do is click the folder button at the bottom of the layer palate. A folder will pop up and will be labeled group #. You can change the name by double clicking to the right of the folder. Drag the layers that you want to keep together into the folder. the flipper allows you to contract and expand the grouped layers. Using layer groups allows for better organization and continued workability of your layers.
