Specifics for Submissions

CIAB Lesson/Tutorials:

CIAB (Adobe Photoshop CS3 Classroom in a Book) lesson/tutorials are worked as .psd files. The completion of your working file will be .psd.
After you have completed your lesson/tutorial, you will submit for credit a different file format. For most of the lesson/tutorials your file format will be .jpg. Lesson/tutorial 9 on vector techniques will be a.gif submission. Lesson/tutorial 12 will be generated materials including .html and image folder with image files.
Lesson/tutorials that require multiple files are submitted in a folder with the appropriate naming convention - Last name_TU(lesson number), example: Lacy_TU01
Files inside the folder will have consecutive naming conventions - example: Lacy_TU01a.jpg, Lacy_TU01b.jpg, Lacy_TU01c.jpg
*Lesson/tutorial 12 will be different in that the files inside the lesson 12 folder will be generated and need to link to other materials already prepared for that lesson on files for the web.
