A Spreadsheet on the other hand is just one portion of your document. - Formulas in Excel works as your normal arithmetic operations but you need to place an equal sign (=) before performing any operation between two or more values. Functions on the other hand are specialized operations with assigned names of actions that use formulas and return a value. - As you open an Excel document, you will see the following parts: 1. Cell that contains the input values 2. Row Number 3. Column Letter 4. Name Box that shows the name of the selected cell which contains a column letter and a row number 5. Formula Bar for the computations 6. Ribbon which contains tools Quick Access Toolbar that shows the commonly used tools such as Undo, Redo, and Save Spreadsheet Tab where you can see the different sheets available on your workbook Status Bar where you can see the current status of your document and the view shortcuts - The Ribbon contains different Excel Tabs that contain the different tools depending on your needs. The different tabs you can check are File, Home, Insert, Draw, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, and Review. - Spreadsheets are important because they contain the information and data. You can add, delete, move, customize, protect, and edit these sheets through Spreadsheet Options. - Cells contain the values you have input. There are ways to adjust, select, add, or delete cells based on your needs. - Basic formatting allows you to change the look of your data tables. Lesson 2 Inserting Formulas and Function There are four types of operators for spreadsheets, namely - Arithmetic Operators, - Comparison Operators, - Text Concatenation Operator, and Reference Operators. - You need to use cell names in order to have a cell reference that you can use to create your formula. - Fill Handle can be used to easily copy and apply one formula to other cells, thus saving time. - A syntax must be followed for a function to work in a spreadsheet. The function syntax starts with an equal sign (=) followed by the function name and then the argument enclosed in parentheses. - The commonly used functions are SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, and MAX. - The Function Library can be found on the Formulas tab in the Ribbon. It contains different functions under different categories. Lesson 3 Conditional Functions - The conditional function in a spreadsheet is a built-in program that allows a user to make a logical test between a set of data. - AND, IF, OR, NOT statements are used to make simple logical comparisons. - COUNTIF, COUNTIFS, SUMIF, SUMIFS, and IFERROR are used to make more complex operations. - You can use nested functions depending on what you need for your data. Lesson 4 Inserting Graphs and Charts - Graphs are considered to be the most basic way to represent data visually, while charts are considered to be the most pleasing way.

They are Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Corel Paint. - Plenty of open-source editing software are also available to download and few of them are the following: GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, and RawTherapee. - Licensed editing software and Open-source software may vary according to the operating system used by the user. It is the sole preference of the user what software he or she may install as long as he or she can navigate it properly. - RawTherapee - supports all the images captured on cameras supported by dcraw and renders several file formats such as JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. - Krita - A linux photo editing software for raster images. Allows you to draw or create graphics from scratch, can edit raw images, and at the same time it can give you numerous tools that you can use in editing and creating such graphics. - Inkscape - It has an excellent support for gradients, layers, and other controls that you may find in the licensed software mentioned. - GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) It has a large collection of professional-level tools to assist you in editing and filtering images. - Open Source Image Editing Software are those software that are not necessary to purchase but the full features of the software are still accessible. - Corel Painter stimulate the appearance of the traditional media associated with drawing, painting, and printmaking as accurately as possible. - Adobe Illustrator vector graphics manipulation where cartoon characters, 2D graphics, even 3D graphics may now be edited in this software. - Adobe Photoshop comprises different editing tools that may be used to add effects and enhance the image. Lesson 3 Advanced Techniques in Image Manipulation - Technique is a strategic action to complete a certain task. It may be a simple or basic technique, or it may be an advanced technique to enhance the output. - There are plenty of skills you need to acquire before you master all the techniques. They are Using Healing Brush Tool, Clone Stamp, Dodge and Burn, Layer Masks, Blending, Pen Tool, Watermarks, Toning, Liquefying and distorting, and smudging. - Smudging - almost similar to stamp because it fills out blots and other open spaces of the object in an image. - Liquefying or Distorting - it can fix the objects that are not proportional to the other elements of the image or exaggerate the shape of the object. - Toning - balances the blending of all the elements in the image. It is used to adjust the overall tonality of the image by making a certain color range standout. - Adding Watermarks - gives you the right to own the manipulated image. It also prohibits other people from using your work without your permission because it is bound by the copyright law. - Pen Tool - It creates paths, selects the image surrounded by paths, crops the selected object, draws shapes, and others. - Blending Options- It blends strokes to the color of an element, contour elements to define in-depth illusion, and bevels so it will have 3D effects. - Using Layer Masks- it masks a certain layer and overrides it with a bit of blurring to make an illusion. - Using Dodge and Burn- Dodge tool lightens a certain area of the image while the Burn tool will darken the area. - Using Clone Stamp- copies a selected portion of an image and pastes it to a specific area chosen. - Using Healing Brush Tool - allows you to fix the unnecessary blemishes in an image. It fixes blots, pimples, uneven skin color, and other imperfections of the image. - Advanced Techniques in Image Manipulation are ways to better create a stunning image.
