When you have the photos you need, use PhotoSuite to crop, resize or edit them and then add text or special effects until they're just right. Once you've created your materials, you can print them as paper handouts, overhead transparencies or just present them directly on the computer. PhotoSuite is a great tool for creating presentations and materials for staff meetings, professional conferences or committees. You can even create materials for students to work with on their own in independent study modules. Then import or scan the photos and use PhotoSuite to edit, annotate and organize them into electronic albums or slide shows you can print, e-mail or post to a Web site.
Scanners are a great way to capture photos and even artwork quickly and easily.
If the object is too big to properly close the scanner cover, just use a towel or blanket instead. Students simply shoot their subject, upload or scan their images into the computer, edit, annotate and organize them into albums ready for printing or e-mailing. Mass Media Studies Students can explore how the media work by creating advertisements for their favorite products. They can also create magazine covers by scanning an existing magazine and replacing the text and graphics with their own work. PhotoSuite includes magazine templates for hours of experimentation.
