For purposes of this tutorial, we will be working with a number of image files located in a folder called Photoshop Class Samples. This folder should already be on your desktop if you are part of the Photoshop class. Create another folder on the desktop with your name. We will want to preserve our original photos in the Photoshop Class Samples folder, and store our working copies in this new folder. We only want to work on the files in the working files folder, which will later be saved for the web. Never work from your master images. That way, you can always start over from the original image if necessary.
