Tutorials

 

This tutorial was reviewing how to move objects that weren't into the picture onto the original photo. For this we erased the outer edge of the pencil, allowing for the best, non-chopped look. I reviewed how to do this and switch in between layers. 

This tutorial reviewed how to take another picture of a human and transport them onto an original photo that has no person in it. I had to use the mask tool in order to do so. Then using the quick selection tool, I selected the part of the guy I wanted transferred onto the picture. 

This tutorial just reviewed this idea of cooling down the picture. The original photo was very warm and had an extreme summer feel to it, but with the ability to go to image adjustments, I made it a cooler photo with less warm colors. 

This was the most I learned over doing all of the tutorials. There were three photos, although we only used three and made one of the photos lighter in order to make the right side of it appear as almost a glare. I enjoy this one, for it makes it almost appear 3D. Another way one could view this picture is a reflection of sunlight appearing on the right side. 

In the tutorial of "Bringing the Colors Out," we made the same changes through the image adjustments. I had to make the image slightly more vibrant and light. I learned how to change the image just by 2 sliders of brightness and contrast. There are so many different ways to alter the photos appearance just by changing the brightness and contrast in the picture. 

All that had to be done on this tutorial was to select the image tab at the top of the screen and then proceed to adjustments and shadows/highlights. Then, I had to turn the slider for shadows up to 40% bringing out the light in the photo.
