Lukewarm Vision (name of superpower)
By Hilly Hess
(Explain your useless super power in 100 words or less)
Laser vision and ice powers could be considered as some of the most powerful and useful super-powers, but what about the largely ignored lukewarm vision? Although powers of heat and ice repel super villains, lukewarm vision would hardly make a super villain even as docile as a lamb flinch, lukewarm vision could solve the dilemma of slightly cold foods and chilly hands. What could be more useful for warming up leftovers than slightly warm laser beams shooting out of your eyes? Obviously a lot of things, but lukewarm vision is still awesome.

•Proofreading Procedures:
•Writer gives page editor his or her story.
•Page editor proofreads and returns to writer with corrections.
•Writer makes changes, saves the story onto the Journalism network
under the correct Issue folder and Page Folder. Writer also saves story to
his/her technology (flash drive or email). Writer then tells the Page Editor that these steps have been completed.
•Page editor proofreads again and then pastes the story onto his or her page.
•Networking: All work should be saved onto the Journalism network under the correct Issue folder and Page Folder.
•Format for Stories for newspaper:
•Size: 10 font. •Style: Times New Roman.
•Allignment: Justified (both sides). •Spacing: Single-Space.
•Always edit/spellcheck/proofread. •Title: in bold.
•Byline: in bold By John Lennon (note that the By is in bold and capitalized).
•Student names: All Westmont student names should be in bold the first
time the name appears in the story. Use their first name in the rest of the story, unless the last name is used in a quote. Example: We are fortunate to have the incredible Jonny Wahl in our class. “Jonny is a dedicated person. I mean Wahl is so trustworthy,” says his classmate Daniel Kim. “Jonny provides creativity with his great writing,” adds Ariel Aronica.
•Faculty Names: Use their full name and bold the first time. Use just their last name after that. No Mr., Mrs. Miss. Ms. (unless it is used in a quote). Example: History teacher Liz Jarrett likes soccer. Jarrett also drives a Jetta. “I learned so much in Ms. Jarrett’s class,” adds Melissa Barr.
•Magazines, Books, Newspapers, Movies, CDs: These appear in Italics. Examples: Sports Illustrated, Catcher in the Rye, The New York Times, Star Wars.
•Songs, Poems, Short Stories: These appear in quotes. Examples: “Let it
Be,” “The Raven,” “The Laughing Man.”
•Present Tense: Always try to write in present tense. It makes the story appear newer. Example: Anna says President Bush and Primer Minister Putin, “are incredible leaders.” ...instead of Anna said…

5. Go to “Edit,” then “Paste”
6. Go to “Image,” then “Mode,” then “Greyscale”

10. Go to “Save as,” then save in your folder
11. On your page in Pagemaker, go to “File,” then “Place.”
12. Select your saved watermark from your folder
••Linking Graphics
1. Open a file and click/select a graphic on the page.
2.Select Links Manager in the File menu. A line will be selected. If it says "NA", then click Info. Find the graphics file that is supposed to go there and select it. Click OK.
PAGEMAKER
Placing and linking
The Place command is the primary importing method. When you place text or a graphic, PageMaker establishes a link to the source file on your
hard drive (unless the file is an HTML document). The link allows PageMaker to update the version of the document that is in your publication, and
it can minimize the size of your publication by allowing you to store an imported graphic outside the publication.
Use the File > Links Manager command to manage the updating attributes of almost any file you place. Check the link status, and relink or unlink
source files as necessary. Together, the Place and Links Manager commands support most of the features of the other importing and linking methods.
See Managing linked text and graphics for more information.
Before you place a file, make sure that you've installed the import filters that support the file formats you use. To find out which filters are installed,
press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while choosing About PageMaker from the Help menu (Windows) or Apple menu (Mac OS).
To place text or a graphic in layout view:
1. Choose File > Place.
If you use the text tool to click an insertion point in a text object before choosing Place, and then you select a graphics file, it imports as an
inline graphic contained within the text object. To override this default, select As Independent Graphic in the Place Document dialog box, or
select the pointer tool before you choose Place.
2. Select the file you want to import, select importing options, and then click Open (Windows) or OK (Mac OS).
You may be prompted to specify additional options in another dialog box. For example, if you want to place a text-only file, PageMaker displays
the Text-Only Import Filter dialog box. If you want to place a story from a publication created in a previous version of PageMaker, the
PageMaker Story Importer dialog box appears. Select options, and then click OK. See About options for placing for more information.
3. Do one of the following:
To make the graphic or text independent of a frame, position the loaded icon where you want the upper left corner of the graphic or text block to be, and then click.
To position the item within an existing frame, click within the frame.
To size the graphic or text block as you place it, drag the mouse and then release the mouse button.
Linking Part 2
Directions if “File, Place” fails:
· Go to “Edit” and click on “Insert Object”
· Choose “Create from File” and click on “Browse”
· From the list, choose the image you want to insert on the page
· After you choose image, say “ok” and check the “link” box and click “ok”
· Once the image is on your page, check the links manager. If the there is no description under the category of “kind” then continue with the following steps
· Right click on your mouse and select “export graphic”
· In the section “save as type” make sure it is “JPEG”
· For the “file name” keep the same title except add the word “final” Example: If your file name is “picture.jpg” save it as “picturefinal.jpg”
· Once done, click save
****Lasso vs Magic Wand
1. Use when erasing background to focus on one part of the picture: But which one do I use?
2. The magic wand guesses what you want to cut.
It is not always right.
3. The lasso tool is you deciding what you want to cut.
It is always right, but it is very difficult to be perfect.
4. Use Magic Wand when:
-solid background
-clear shapes of what you want to cut
5. Use Lasso tool when:
-very close cuts (i.e, around hair, faces, etc.)
-The magic wand is wrong, or the background is not a solid color.
6. Examples! Someone wearing a black t shirt against a white background, use magic wand. It will recognize the two separate things because they are very different.
Someone wearing white shoes while standing in the snow, use lasso tool. The magic wand won’t be able to tell which is the shoes and which is the snow, and won’t know which to cut.
