Lesson 1: Downloading Images and Opening them in Photoshop

2. Click on Image 1: Sunset and a new window will appear with a [flawed] image of a sunset in Jasper, Alberta

3. Click and hold on the image [right click for windows machines] and a dialogue box will appear.
4. Select the option "Download Image to Disk" and direct the file to your "photoshop lessons" folder.
5. Do the same for Image 2: Captain Cat.

6. Start up your photoshop software
7. FILE MENU -> OPEN [this notation means go to the file menu and select open]. A dialogue box appears. Direct it to your "photoshop lessons" folder and select the first file that you downloaded "sunset.jpg".
8. Follow the same procedure to open the image "captaincat.jpg".
Okay, you should have two images downloaded and opened in photoshop. We're ready to go.
