You will have a "performance quiz," where you will be given instructions on setting up a specific Photoshop file. The instructions will require that you know how to accomplish specific things in Photoshop. Although this is a practice quiz, you will be turning this in as an assignment.

Work with other students helping each each other out if needed, but be sure that you learn how to accomplish all of these steps on your own for the quiz.
