Warm and Cool Adjustments




The color balances/color levels for these photos were changed a lot. for the shadows, mid tones, and highlights. The ending results were a cool colored/emerald photo, a warm colored photo, and a gradient with color added photo.

Shadow Picture


In this picture, a background and a person were put on one layer. The purpose was to have the person's shadow showing. I took a picture from the internet, and selected just the body from the picture. Then, I copy and pasted the body on to the background. The body was selected again, and copied do that there would be two of them. One of which would be the shadow. The copied body was colored in with black. It was then dimmed as much as it needed to be for the shadow, and placed underneath the original body.

Portraits




There were 3 different types of editing going on with portraits. One, was the ink sketch.The photocopy filter was used for this picture, which made the picture look like a sketch. Also, this pictured was sharpened alot. Textures were revealed with the blending mode. The second type of this kind of photography is cross processing. It makes the picture look older than what it really is. The red, green, and blue channel curves were changed here. The last type of portrait photography is custom shape, which made the picture look more like a shadow.

Grunge with Altered Edge




Grunge is like giving something a dirty look. To make my pictures look like that, I had to use the Ripple filter to stir up the lines. Then, the diffuse filter was used to roughen up the edges. The layer mask was also used to paint over the main object to expose the image a little more. The colors were changed around a bit by using the channel mixer. The whites, blacks, and neutrals were changed. After changing the three images to grunge, an altered edge was placed on all three pictures.

Scary, Spooky, Seasonal





The pictures I took were a mix of Scary and seasonal. I took some at Carter's Mountain with my family, and i took some on Halloween, and some were even taken at my house. I took pictures of some beautiful outdoor things that had a pretty color.

Kaleidoscope


An image with a line going across 2 out of the 4 sides of the image had to be used here. For the kaleidoscope effect, i used the rectangular marquee tool to select the parts of the picture that I wanted to copy. These pieces of the picture had to be rotated. All of these pieces of the picture were flipped vertically ad horizontally. In the end, all of the pieces were put together and the image looked like a kaleidoscope! For the painted kaleidoscope all of these same steps were preformed, except instead of already having an image, we had to paint one.
