Lab objective

The objective of this manual is to help students:

 To identify elements of the Photoshop CS6 user interface.

 To be able to edit photo, video and audio.
 To demonstrate importing, organizing and saving.
 To demonstrate knowledge of producing and reusing images and video.
 To demonstrate how color is managed in digital video and image.
 To understand and use key terms related to video and audio production.

1. Introduction to Multimedia Systems

1.1. What is Multimedia?
Multimedia is the field concerned with the computer-controlled integration of text, graphics,
drawings, still and moving images (video), animation, audio, and any other media where every
type of information can be represented, stored, transmitted and processed digitally. A
multimedia application is an application which uses a collection of multiple media sources e.g.
Text, graphics, images, sound/audio, animation and/ video.

1.2. What is Multimedia System?

A multimedia system is a system capable of processing multimedia data. A multimedia system
is characterized by the processing, storage, generation, manipulation and rendition of
multimedia information.

1.3. Multimedia Authoring

Multimedia authoring is a process of assembling different types of media contents like text,
audio, image, animations and video as a single stream of information with the help of various
software tools available in the market. Multimedia authoring tools give an integrated
environment for joining together the different elements of a multimedia production. It gives
the framework for organizing and editing the components of a multimedia project. It enables
the developer to create interactive presentation by combining text, audio, video, graphics and
animation.

ELSABET TESFAYE 1
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

1.4. Multimedia authoring tools:

Multimedia authoring tools provide important framework that is needed for organizing and
editing objects included in the multimedia project (e.g. graphics, animation, sound, video, etc.).
Types of authoring tools
There are three types of authoring tools, which are divided by the style in which the
multimedia presentation is created.
 Card and page based tools.
 Icon‐based, event‐driven tools.
 Time‐based tools.

1.5. Multimedia Images and Graphics

An image consists of a rectangular array of dots called pixels. The size of the image is specified
in terms of width x height, in numbers of the pixels. The physical size of the image, in inches
or centimeters, depends on the resolution of the device on which the image is displayed.

The resolution is usually measured in dpi (dots per inch). An image will appear smaller on a
device with a higher resolution than on one with a lower resolution. For color images, one
needs enough bits per pixel to represent all the colors in the image. The number of the bits per
pixel is called the depth of the image.

2. Introduction to Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection

Adobe cs6 master collection for windows provides a full set of professional tools for video
editing, effects creation, graphic design, website & application development, page layout, and
image editing – and for publishing all this creative content to mobile devices, the web, print,
and tablets.

2.1. Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is a powerful graphic editing program that allows you to create and
manipulate images for print, the web, and other media. Photoshop is almost limitless in the
ability to manipulate and edit images.

Application area of adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is a software application for image editing and photo retouching for use on
Windows or Mac OS computers. Photoshop offers users the ability to create, enhance, or
otherwise edit images and artwork.

2.2. Photoshop Panel and Tools

Photoshop is modular in it is layout and it is infinitely customizable. In the default
configuration, the panels are located on the right hand side, the tools are on the left and the
option bar which displays the most useful parameters for a selected tool is across the top of the
work area. There is also a standard menu bar at the very top of the application.

ELSABET TESFAYE 3
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

2.3. Adobe Photoshop User Interface

Figure 1. Photoshop user interface

2.4. Main Components of Photoshop

You create and manipulate your documents and files using various elements, such as panels,
bars, and windows. Any arrangement of these elements is called a workspace.

Any arrangement of these elements is called a workspace. (The workspaces of

different adobe creative applications share similar appearances so that you can move between
the applications easily.) You can adapt Photoshop to the way you work by selecting from
several preset workspaces or by creating one of your own.

ELSABET TESFAYE 4
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

The toolbar

The toolbar (also known as the toolbox or the tools panel) is where Photoshop holds all of its
tools. You'll find it along the left of Photoshop’s interface. There's tools for making selections,
for editing and retouching images, for painting, adding type or shapes to your document, and
more.

Figure 2.Toolbar

The document window

The document window is the large area in the center of the interface where the image is
displayed. It's also where we edit the image. The actual area where the image is visible is
known as the canvas. The dark area surrounding the image is the pasteboard. The pasteboard
doesn't really serve a purpose other than to fill in the space around the image when the image
itself is too small to fill the entire document window.

The menu bar

Along the very top of Photoshop’s interface is the menu bar. The menu bar is where we find
various options and commands, all grouped into categories. The file menu, for example, holds
options for opening, saving and closing documents. The layer menu lists options for working
with layers. Photoshop's many filters are found under the filter menu, and so on.

ELSABET TESFAYE 5
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

Figure 3.Menu bar

The options bar

Directly linked to the toolbar is Photoshop’s options bar. The options bar displays options for
whichever tool we've selected in the toolbar. You'll find the options bar along the top of the
interface, just above the document window.

The panels

Along the right of Photoshop’s interface is where we find the panels. Panels give us access to
all sorts of commands and options, and there are different panels for different tasks. The most
important panel is the layers panel. It's where we add, delete and work with layers in our
document.

Figure 4.Panels

2.5. Open a Photoshop Document or Image

To start edit a photo you have to open the image.

ELSABET TESFAYE 6
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

To open a file:
1. Select File > Open

Figure 5. Opening a document

2. A dialog box will appear. Locate and select the file on your computer, then click Open.

Figure 6.Selected image

2.6. Saving Your Work

Saving options
When saving a file in Photoshop, you have several options and file formats to choose from:

ELSABET TESFAYE 7
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

PSD this is the default file type for Photoshop documents, although you won't necessarily use
it for every image. It will save your layers and all of the other information in your image so
you can easily re-edit it later. PSD files are designed to be opened in Photoshop, so if you
want to share the image with others you'll also need to save a copy of the image in a common
file format, like JPEG.
Common file formats you can save images in a variety of common file types, including
JPEG and PNG. These file formats can be viewed and edited on almost any computer or
mobile device, which makes them well-suited for sharing with others.
Save for Web if you're planning to upload an image to the Web, like on a blog or website,
you'll want to use the Save for Web feature. This tool allows you to save images that are
optimized for the Web, which will make them easier to download and view online. Save for
Web also includes several helpful features for preparing images for the Web, including the
option to resize images.
Using Save As
You'll use the Save As command to save files in the PSD format, as well as other common
formats like JPEG and PNG.

1. With the image open in Photoshop, select File > Save As.

Figure 7.Save as
2. A dialog box will appear. Type the desired file name, then choose a location for the
file. You'll want to use a new file name to avoid accidentally overwriting the original
file.

ELSABET TESFAYE 8
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

3. Click the Format menu, then choose the desired file format. If you're saving as a PSD
file, make sure the Layers option is checked. However, most other formats won't allow
you to select this option.

Figure 8. File name

4. Click Save
To save for the Web
1. Select File > save for web.

ELSABET TESFAYE 9
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

Figure 9.Save for web

2. The Save for Web dialog box will appear. Select the desired file type and quality
level.

Figure 10.File type

ELSABET TESFAYE 10
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

3. If needed, resize the image by typing the desired dimensions under Image Size.
When you enter the new image width, the height should be adjusted automatically
to maintain the original aspect ratio.
4. Click Save. A new dialog box will appear. Type the desired file name and choose
a location for the file, then click Save.

Figure 11.Choose location

2.7. Customizing the Photoshop environment

If you want to customize Photoshop, you can adjust the default application settings. Most of
these options are pretty technical, but we'd like to show you two basic adjustments you may
find helpful.
1. Select Edit > Preferences > Units & Rulers.

ELSABET TESFAYE 11
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

Figure 12.Prefernces
2. A dialog box will appear. Under Units, click the menu next to Rulers, select
Pixels, and then click OK. You may need to quit and restart Photoshop for the
changes to take effect.

Figure 13.Unit and rulers

ELSABET TESFAYE 12
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

To adjust the text size

If you'd like the text of the Photoshop interface to be larger or smaller, you can
adjust the application's text size.
1. Select Edit > Preferences > Interface.
2. Under Text, click the menu next to UI Font Size, then select the desired size.
You may need to quit and restart Photoshop for the changes to take effect.

Figure 14.Text size

2.8. Working with Layers

Layers are simple stacks of images, objects or text layers are very powerful because they allow
us to edit and move individual image components without affecting other elements within the
scene.

You use layers to perform tasks such as compositing multiple images, adding text to an image,
or adding vector graphic shapes. You can apply a layer style to add a special effect such as a
drop shadow or a glow.

Showing and hiding panels

ELSABET TESFAYE 13
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

You'll also be able to view and modify information on the current file through the other panels
in the workspace. For example, you can view the document's layers in the Layers panel. To
show or hide any panel, click the Window menu, then select the desired panel (currently visible
panels are indicated by a check mark). In the image below, we're using the Window menu to
turn on the History panel.

Figure 15.Show or hide

You can use the double arrows to expand or collapse panels. This can be helpful if you want
to temporarily hide a panel without removing it from the workspace.

Figure 16.Expand

Moving panels

If you want to change a panel's location, you can move it by clicking and dragging the panel
to a new part of the workspace.

ELSABET TESFAYE 14
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

Figure 17.Moving
To reset the panels to their default positions, select Window > Workspace > Reset Essentials.
Note that this process may vary depending on which version of Photoshop you're using. For
example, in Photoshop Elements you'll select Window > Reset Panels.

Figure 18.Reset window

ELSABET TESFAYE 15
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

2.9. Layer basics

You can view, create, and edit layers with the Layers panel. This will generally be found in
the lower-right corner of the screen, although you can always go to Window > Layers to
make sure it's turned on.

Figure 19.layers

To create an adjustment layer

An adjustment layer does not contain content; it simply allows you to apply
adjustments to the layers below it.
1. In the Layers panel, select the layer below where you want the adjustment layer to
appear.in our example, we'll select the girl layer.

ELSABET TESFAYE 16
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

Figure 20.Selected layer

2. Click the Adjustment button at the bottom of the Layers panel, then choose the
desired adjustment.

Figure 21.Adjustment

ELSABET TESFAYE 17
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

3. The adjustment layer will appear, and you can then customize the adjustment in
the Properties panel. Any changes you make will affect every layer below the
adjustment layer.

Figure 22.Customize adjustment

You can also use the buttons in the Adjustments panel to create an adjustment layer.
To duplicate a layer:
N.B. Before start editing a photo or other project you have to unlock or duplicate a
background layer. There will also be times when you'll want to duplicate an existing layer.
This is an easy way to try out different edits without altering the original layer.
1. Right-click the layer, then select Duplicate Layer

Figure 23.Duplicate a layer

ELSABET TESFAYE 18
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

2. A dialog box will appear. Click OK. The duplicate layer will appear.
Using adjustment layers
We'll be using adjustment layers to correct images. Adjustment layers are a type of
nondestructive editing because they don't actually change anything about the original image.
And because you can continue to tweak adjustment layers as you work, it's easy to try out
different effects and get the image to look exactly the way you want.
Levels
Every image has a mix of shadows, highlights, and midtones. Shadows are the darkest parts
of the image, highlights are the brightest parts, and midtones are everything in between.
When you adjust levels, you're adjusting these different tones. And while you could use the
brightness and contrast tools for a similar type of adjustment, they're much less powerful than
levels.

Figure 24.Before &after

To adjust levels:
1. In the Layers panel, add a Levels adjustment layer.

Figure 25.Levels

ELSABET TESFAYE 19
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

2. Locate the graph in the middle of the Properties panel. This is called a histogram, and
it shows information about the shadows, highlights, and midtones of the image.

Figure 26.Histogram
3. Notice the Input Levels sliders just below the histogram. These are the controls you'll
use the adjust levels. Do not use the Output Levels sliders near the bottom of the
panel.

Figure 27.Output level

4. Because our image is too dark (underexposed), we'll click and drag the white slider to
the left. Notice how we're dragging the slider to the right-most edge of the histogram.
Be careful not to drag the slider past this point or you'll begin to lose detail in your
image. This is commonly referred to as clipping.
5. If the shadows in the image are too bright, you can click and drag the black slider to
the right.
Saturation
If the colors in your image are dull or muted, you can increase the saturation to make them
look more vivid. You can see an example of this in the images below.

ELSABET TESFAYE 20
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

Figure 28.Saturation
On the other hand, you can reduce the saturation to make the colors less vivid. If you remove
the saturation completely, it will produce a black-and-white, or grayscale, image. You can
see an example of this in the images below.

Figure 29.Increase or decrease

To adjust saturation, add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Then click and drag the
Saturation slider in the Properties panel to increase or decrease the saturation.
Vibrance
Increasing the saturation can sometimes look a bit unnatural. One solution is to use a
Vibrance adjustment layer instead of Hue/Saturation. Vibrance lets you boost the saturation
for the parts of the image that are less colorful without oversaturating the parts that are
already colorful.

ELSABET TESFAYE 21
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

Figure 30.Vibrance
Sharpening
Sometimes an image may not be as clear as you'd like it to be. Sharpening can help make it
look crisp and clear by enhancing the edges of objects in the image. However, adding too
much sharpness can actually make an image look worse, or it can lead to a loss in image
detail.
Unsharp mask
The unsharp mask filter is a common way to sharpen images in Photoshop. When you use
this tool, you'll be able to control several settings, including:
 Amount: The amount determines how much sharpness will be applied. The amount
you'll need depends on several factors, including the overall image size, so it's good
to experiment with this setting.
 Radius: The radius controls the size of the details that will be sharpened, so it's
generally best to use a very low value for this setting. We recommend a radius
between 0.3 and 0.5 for most images, although you may find it useful to use a slightly
larger radius (between 1 and 1.5) for higher-resolution images.
 Threshold: Sharpening tends to make image noise more visible. Increasing the
threshold can help to reduce this by telling the unsharp mask to ignore certain parts of
the image. However, this can also mean that different parts of the image are not
sharpened consistently. This is why we recommend keeping this setting at 0 most of
the time, unless the sharpening is creating a lot of extra noise.

ELSABET TESFAYE 22
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

To apply an unsharp mask:

1. Right-click the layer you want to sharpen, then select Duplicate Layer. You'll apply
the sharpening to this duplicate layer, which will prevent you from accidentally
altering the original.

Figure 31.Duplicate a layer

2. A dialog box will appear. Type a name for the new layer, then click OK. In this
example, we'll call it Sharpened.

Figure 32.Type name

3. With the new duplicate layer selected, go to Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask. If
you're using Photoshop Elements, you'll need to go to Enhance > Unsharp Mask.

ELSABET TESFAYE 23
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

Figure 33.Unsharp mask

4. A dialog box will appear. Set the desired radius size, then choose the amount of
sharpness to add. We recommend experimenting with different amounts of
sharpening to see what looks best. You can look at the preview window above the
sliders to see how sharpening is affecting the image.
5. Click the preview window to toggle the preview off and on. This is an easy way to
compare the sharpened version with the original. To view a different part of the
image, click and drag within the preview window. Note that you'll also see the
preview in the main document window.

2.10. Compositing Images and Text

You can use various features in Photoshop and image ready to combine several images or parts
of images to produce creative compositions.

Photoshop projects can have multiple images by separating them into different layers. To add
another image into your project:

1. Go to file at the top menu and open an image …

2. Next select the image you would like to add.
3. When you Place a new image into your document, it will automatically go into
Transform mode
 Transform mode is used to size content within a layer
 You can also move your content to any desired location by left clicking on it and
dragging

on your keyboard

Add text in your photo

To add text effect into your image go to toolbar and select horizontal type tool then type your
text and add different editing features.

Figure 36.Composing image and text

2.11. Cropping Image

If you want to remove parts of an image, you can crop it. You can think of cropping like
using a pair of scissors to cut out the parts you no longer want.
There are two main ways to crop an image in Photoshop. You can either use the Crop tool or
make a selection with the Rectangular Marquee tool. These methods work a bit differently,
and you may find that you prefer using one method over the other.

ELSABET TESFAYE 26

2.14. Quick Selection Tool

A selection allow us to isolate a particular portion on the layer. Then we can edit the selected
region without affect the rest of the layer. There are many ways in which we can generate a
selection in Photoshop.

Figure 52.Selected area

Once the selection is complete you have to go the image menu.

1. Image >adjustments>hue/saturation.
2. The hue/saturation adjustments are only applied to the selected areas.
3. Not only can you apply adjustments to selected areas, you can also apply filters from
the filter menu.
4. Filters>filter gallery>artistic>plastic warp filter has been applied to the same selection.

2.15. How to Cut Part of One Image to Use on the Other

1. We have gone to file>open and then navigated to a folder containing the two
images we went to combine. We select both and then click on open to get
started.
2. We need to concentrate on the selected image and remove its background.
3. We could select quick selection tool (w).select it from the toolbar, we start to
click and drag the tool across the outline of the image.
4. Once we have the suite selected, we can refine the selection using the selected
and mask tool.
5. If you’re happy with the selection, click ok to proceed and return to the main
image. You can now go to edit>copy (ctrl+c) to copy all the pixels inside the
selection area you have created. You can then on the document tab of the other
image to open it
6. Now we can go to edit>paste (ctrl+v) and paste the cut out image in to this
document on its own layer.

Animating text in Adobe Photoshop is just like animating anything else in Photoshop. It takes
some placement, creativity and key frames to get the job done.

To create frame-based animations in Photoshop, use the following general workflow.

1. Create a new document.

4. Video

The term video refers to the moving picture, accompanied by sound such as a picture in
television. Video element of multimedia application gives a lot of information in small duration
of time. Digital video is a series of images and useful for showing real life objects. When this
series of images are displayed on screen at fast speed (e.g. 30 images per second), we see a
perceived motion. It projects single images at a fast rate producing the illusion of continuous
motion. These single images are called frames. The rate at which the frames are projected is
generally between 24 and 30 frames per second (fps). The rate at which these images are
presented is referred to as the Frame Rate.

4.1. Introduction to Adobe Premiere

Premiere Pro is a powerful video editing tool developed by Adobe, jam packed with thousands

4.8. How to Split Video or Audio in Premiere Pro

Splitting media clips can help you break lengthy footage down into more manageable pieces
and make editing easier. The first step in splitting a video is to open it from the project part of
your screen and place it on the timeline. Then, select the clip and adjust the timeline bar to the
spot where you want to make a cut and split your single video into two or more separate clips.

Use The Razor Tool to cut clips in Premiere Pro

Cutting clips is actually quite simple. You can click on the end or beginning of a clip and drag
it to shorten or lengthen it. To cut a video use the razor tool. You can select it on your toolbar,
or use the shortcut "C" to select this useful tool. With the razor tool selected, simply click on
a clip to cut it on a certain frame. For more precise cuts, you can zoom in on the timeline as
much as you need to, making it easy to select the exact frame you want.

Figure 111. Razor tool

ELSABET TESFAYE 73
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

Using the razor tool will split the clip, which includes its audio track, into two clips. You can
Alt-click to cut only the audio or video track without cutting both.

Figure 112. Cut video

4.9. Add Titles

Using the Premiere Pro create stylish still titles, title rolls, or title crawls that you can easily
superimpose over video. If you prefer, you can modify any of a wide range of provided title
templates. As with any clip, you can edit, fade, animate, or add effects to the titles in a
sequence.

To add a title to your project, go to Title > New Title in the main menu bar. There are three
options to choose from:

1. Default still,
2. Default roll,
3. Default crawl. Choose default still, and you'll arrive at a prompt to choose your settings
for your new introduction title.

4.10. How to Add Transitions in Premier Pro

A transition is the way one shot changes to the next. By default, if two clips are placed next to
each other in the timeline, the transition is a cut. To make more interesting transitions such as
dissolves, wipes and effects, use the transitions available in the Effects window.

1. Import videos to your project. Before you can create a transition from one video clip to
another, your project needs to have a couple of video clips to transition to and from.
Use the following steps to import videos into your project:

ELSABET TESFAYE 76
 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM LAB MANUAL

 Click File.
 Click Import.
 Select a video clip.
 Click Open.
2. Drag your clips into the Timeline panel. Once you have a couple of clips imported into
your project drag them from the Project panel into the timeline at the bottom. The
Project panel on the left side of the screen by default. The Timeline panel is at the
bottom of the screen. In order to apply a transition, the two clips must be right next to
each other on the same track.
3. Adding Transition
Click the effects tab by default, it's at the top of the panel in the lower-left corner.
4. Click Video Transitions or Audio Transitions. The Effects panel has two folders for
both Audio Transitions and Video Transitions. Audio Transitions contains sound
effects to transition from one sound clip to the next and Video Transitions contains
visual effects to transition from one video clip to the next.

one video fades out and the next video fades in on top of it. This is found in the
Dissolve folder.
6. Drag and drop a transition into position over two video clips in the timeline. Transitions
can be placed in between two clips, as well as at the beginnings and endings of each
clip. You will see a yellow box with the transition name appear over the two clips when
it is placed.
 Alternatively, you can right-click in between two clips and click apply default
transition to apply the default transition, which is normally a cross dissolve
