instructions on saving ads are within video tutorial)

ADS
The 2021 Photoshop version is a little different, here is a little clarification when making ads and
referring to the video tutorial:
1) Open Photoshop, and click on “create new”

2) After, you’ll be able to modify your dimensions. Click on “Create” after you’re all set.
Remember: Dimensions for ¼ page ads are 4.75x7.5. The dimensions may be represented
in pixels initially. Use the drop-down to change it to inches. Your resolution should be
300 pixels/inch, and your background should be white, and the orientation should be
vertical.
3) You want to “Save as” your images and ads on your computer

4) Once you save your separate image, a pop-up will appear concerning JPEG settings. Just
click on ‘OK’
5) When you place your images, click on “Place from embedded”

6) To stroke, click on the image layer. Then, click on the brush tool and click on the image.
Allow Photoshop to rasterize yout image

Then, click on “Edit” on the upper bar, and stroke. Make your your stroke is black in
color and 1 px
