What i i did this lesson:

In this lesson we learned how to use Adobe Photoshop cs3 to crop images using the magic stick, we also learnt how to put backgrounds onto pictures. During this lesson we cropped the image of the furious Mr Cottam and then placed a scenery background. The main aim of this lesson was so that we could knew how to use the magic stick to crop images and also to crop the small bits left since we only wanted the face and body of Mr Cottam. The second part of the lesson was when we uploaded a picture to the background of Mr Cottam. We did this by dragging the scenery we wanted into Adobe photoshop and then we had to copy the image of Mr Cottam onto the scenery we chose. And again at the end lesson we printscreened the final image where we saved it as a JEPEG file so that we could upload the picture onto our blogs

Problems i had while doing this:

The main problem i had was when we had to upload a background, This was because when I had dragged the picture into Adobe Photo shop, my picture of Mr Cottam had dissapeared then i found out that i had to go to file and press open recent file where i found my dissapearing picture of Mr cottam. Then i just copied the picture and pasted it onto my scencery background.

What i found most intresting

The most intresting that i learnt this lesson was the magic stick that i used to crop the image, it was not only very quick to use but it was a very easy process to use it too. It was also a very convient way of cropping images.

What was the most difficult part of using the database to solve murder mountain ?
Their was not much difficulties but it was that sometimes i could not get answer correct when even checked with my friends and the answer was correct. In the end i found out that was because i did not turn the security warning on the top right hand corner off, so with this i remembered that everytime when i entered microsoft Acess i always had to turn the security warining off.

Are there any parts of using the database you think you would like to have more practice?
I would like to have more practices in creating my own databases incase in the future i would have to do a type of survery etc. This would only improve my database skills but it would also enable me to use the proggame more often when doing surveys What was the most difficult part of using the database to solve murder mountain ?

What specific changes would you make to you report (not the way you worked) if you had the chance to do it again?
If i had the chance to do it again i would try to upload a video using windows movie maker where it contain all the assignments on the video.This way it would not only look more proffessional but it would also save much more space. If i had a chance to did it again I would also do a short paragraph of each assignments therefore i could explain each assignment in detail whether i had and problem etc.

How well did you manage your time in this project?
I managed pretty well as i finished quite early so i got time to type more on my blog on what i did, since i got the hang of Microsoft Access i did it easily and quickly. Since mainly this project was about filtering the database to get your information you need and how to use photoshop to crop images it was not much of hectic project.

What things took the longest and why?
The things that took the longest was cropping the images because sometimes i forgot to save it as a JEPEG file so it took me a while to figure out what was the problem . But basically the filtering of the database was pretty simple so it didn't take me that long to get the answers.

Would you change the amount of time you spent on anything?
Not really because i had not many problems, i spended a fair amount of time on everything so i wouldn't have changed the amount of thime I spent on anything.

What i did this week
In this week I finally solved who was the ultimate suspect it was Edith Summerson. I did this by entering the information witness statement one gave. I did a filter of all the people who fit witness statement 1 said, it left me with three people, then using witness statement 2's information i filtered the three people until I got the final suspect which was Edith Summerson. Problems i had when doing this
I had problems in assignment 6 because i could not find where the information to find the suspect was but later i understood it was in the book so i then later followed the book and it guided me through the asssignments

In this lesson we learnt how to upload our 'murder mountain' assignments onto our blogs. We had to print screen our assignments and then paste it onto 'adobe Photoshop' where we cropped the image, then we saved it as a 'JEPEG' file and then finally uploaded it onto our blogs.

What i learnt

In this lesson I learnt many things including how to use adobe photoshop to crop images but also how to use the 'print screen' button. I also learned that whenever you have to upload images onto the internet you have to change it into a 'JEPEG' file.
