Warm Colors

Warms colors are any color within the range of reds, yellows, and oranges. All of these images were edited in Camera Raw. For a few of them, I used the adjustment brush tool to bring out the reds. For the one black and white picture, I opened it in Photoshop and painted back in the warm colors.

Dear Photograph

I really liked this project. I had some old photos, and went to the exact spot that they were taken, and took another photo. Then, I wrote a small letter. I added a drop shadow to both of these images, so that they wouldn't look so flat.

Found Objects

The found objects were supposed to be things that you might not always notice. My found objects were random things in a backyard, such as toy shovels, and I also found a can. For all these images but one, I did a color splash, so that the viewers eye would go straight to the object. Before I did anything in Photoshop, I edited all of the pictures in camera raw. I increased the contrast and clarity in all of them. I used the dodge tool for one of the images.

Five Edited Images

This is one of my favorite images. I made it black and white in Photoshop, and then edited it in Bridge. I increased the fill light so that the image wouldn't appear so dark.

I increased the contrast and clarity in this picture. I also increased the blacks.

To give this picture a more crispy look, I increased the blacks and the brightness.

I didn't do much to this image. I increased the contrast so that the flowers would appear more clear.

For this image, I used the tone curve to increase the dark. I also increased the blacks to make the image more crisp. I increased the contrast and clarity as well, to make the details on the cake more evident.

Panoramic

A panoramic is combining multiple images into one image. You can shoot a 180 or 360 degree panorama. Mine was a 360 degree shot. To combine about 20 images together, I used photomerge, a program in photoshop. Then, I cloned some of the grass to make the whole image look the same, and to make the lines go the same direction. I also had to adjust the exposure, so that the whole panoramic looked the same. I used the dodging tool to make pieces of the image lighter, and blend in with the the rest.

Vinatge Picture

For this image, I added a warming filter, then added a Gaussian blur, and added noise, which gave the picture a grainy effect. I selected around the man with the rectangular marquee tool, and set the feather radius to 40 pixels, clicked inverse , then filled the selection with black. I then lowered the opacity to give it the dodged look.

CD Jacket

I took a picture of myself, and used it as the front cover. On the back cover, I arranged three of my many assignments. My Spring Break Scrapbook assignment, splash of color, and words and brushes assignments. These images are not on the CD, but I wanted them to be seen as well. I also added some text, for a title.
