Photoshop

For this week, we photoshopped a woman into the background of a beach. We used the magnetic lasso tool to select the outline of the woman. We also used the feather tool to make the edges of the outline more smooth. I think I'm getting better at Photoshop through the many practices we had during Visual Communication lessons.I think that I should also use the lasso tool to select the white spaces between the hair to make it more realistic.

Photoshop Homework

This was my homework for the week. We were supposed to photoshop 3 objects or characters into a background.Thus, I chose a setting in a street. As for the characters, I chose Patrick Star and another one of my idols. I selected the outline of all 3 characters using the magnetic lasso tool and cut and pasted them onto this street. One way I can improve is to create a shadow to make the picture seem more realistic.

Colouration in Photoshop

This is the before and after of an old photo. I used the hue/saturation tool and also the colour balance tool to get the photo to look like it's not a very old photo, but a little more recent.This exercise has helped me to be more familiar with the colour balance and hue/saturation tool in Photoshop.

Photoshop

For this lesson, we photoshopped objects and characters into a different background. For the first picture, we photoshopped animals,birds and insects into a picture of a pond. We learnt how to use the opacity tool and scale tool. We also learnt how to rotate the characters.

As for the second picture,we used a picture of a piece of crumpled paper and made it blend with the car to make it seem that the car is crumpled. We also used the opacity tool for this picture.

For the third picture, i edited Spongebob and a shark into the fish tank with the goldfish and changed the colour of the water. I change the colour of the water by changing the settings in Hue/Saturation. Next, I selected the picture of Spongebob and the shark and inversed both of it and cut and pasted it into the tank, to get the final picture.

For the last picture, Using a background that I chose, I made a polariod sized box with the rectangular tool and pasted a picture of my idol onto it. I also made a short caption there. I also used the drop shadow tool on the picture.
