Issues

As we worked through the project we found that there were a number of issues which we thought would need to be considered by teachers who wanted to introduce work with digital images in their school.

We used a variety of different cameras but the type of camera was less important than keeping a consistent picture size of 640 x 480 pixels. We used this size to save space.

Having software which would catalogue images and create thumbnail versions of each image was also found to be essential to help pupils sort through their images.

We also found that working with Photoshop soon filled pupil's work areas on the network.

There were also basic ICT skills which we thought pupils would ned before starting this work.
