Photoshop: Light Saber project -
We continued with the light saber project, finishing by erasing the binding centerline from the image. Will was distracted with the dots that show up when he zoomed in to magnify the image. I explained that we had taken this image from ‘Entertainment weekly’ magazine. Since this magazine comes out every week, and the publishers do not expect their readers to keep it for more that a week or two, Therefore, it is printed on lower quality paper. And that determines how much ink they can use before the image bleeds through to the other side. This magazines, uses a form of dot matrix printers, and we can see the dots when the image is magnified. The images we have used previously, came from a magazine printed for collectors, on higher quality paper, ink, and printer. This eliminates the visibility of dots.
