Photoshop
Before Yearbook, on some levels I felt like a grandmother trying to figure out how to work an at-home computer. I had no idea what any of the buttons meant, nor did I even know the different they made when I pressed them. Doing the tutorials really helped, because I was finally able to comprehend exactly what photoshop was. Photoshop can make such a difference. I remember the first time I added effects to a photo. Whether it was "Warm It Up, Kris" or "Cool as a Cucumber", I figured out that adding a simple effect and the click of a button can make such a big difference.
Yearbook Avenue
I absolutely adore Yearbook Avenue. It is honestly one of the best things I've ever been on, it's so easy to work. I remember being on it and trying to figure out where all my pictures that I was uploading were going. It wasn't until I looked onto the image library that I realized that there were multiple folders that the image could have possibly been in. After that, I made sure that the folder that I put the image in, I made sure was the correct one. Whenever I see an image that isn't supposed to be there, I get a bit annoyed. But it's okay, it's not my problem.
Camera Operation
In the beginning, I had no idea that ISO was even a thing that existed. Or shutter speed, or anything that is related to a camera. At some points, I still don't, but I have more of an idea if that makes sense. MY first photo assignment I was highly confused as to what was going on. The numbers on the screen changed, the focus would change, I would be confused and thought I broke it. Not legitimately, but I'm not gonna lie, I've had a plot second where I was worried if I was operating the camera correctly. At this point in my Yearbook career, I'm extremely confident (ish) in the operation of the camera. I know how to change everything, make it appear they way it should, and take pictures. Which, being able to take pictures is a good thing when you have a camera in your hands.
