Personalized Card

First I went to file and new; I changed the width to 6 & height to 4.

Then my background image was kind of dull so i enhanced it. I changed the brightness to 4 & contrast to 33. Vibrance 11 & saturation 3. I also enhaned the background image for the text; Vibrance 0 & saturation 24. For the text I went to blending options; drop shadow - opacity 79 -Distance 10 - Spread 10 - Size 8.  Outer Glow: Opacity 69 - Noise 0 - Spread 10 - Size 6 - Range 61 - Jitter 3. Then I shrunk the butterfly using free transform ( Ctrl T) & Alt Ctrl G to make it a stamp and I  did the same for the skull. I like this because it kind of brings out y personality a bit and it has some of my favorite colors together .

Postcard =))

            This is my postcard; it’s based on the school. I first took a photo of the lockers and rotated it using free transform. Then using the clone stamp tool for the string on the bottom right. Then using curves, I set the input to 197 and the output 230. I used brightness and set it to -6 and contrast to 51.  And I also used vibrance I set that to 4 and saturation 3. I used the burn tool and the blur tool on the lockers, door, and the floor. For the Globe I used curves: input 151 & output: 180 and vibrance: 55 & sat -9. Books; I used brightness: -9 & Contrast: 75, vibrance 64 & saturation: 0. For the book fair poster, brightness 18 & contrast 56, vibrance 21 & saturation 21. For the globe, blending options, radius: 5.1/ contrast 42/ smooth: 14. Feather: 2.3/ Contract & Expand 10, For the books, I went to blending Options and set the radius 48.3/Contrast: 48/ Smooth: 40, the feather: 2.7/ contrast: 14. For Mrs. Goodwin, I used brightness: 31 & contrast: 22. I also used vibrance: - 6  & Saturation: - 2. I used free transform to make her smaller and I pressed shift for the fx. Current Science Poster, I set the vbrance 45 & saturation: 17, for curves I set the output to134 & Input: 136. I set the brightness: 3 & Contrast 49. I used free transform for just about everything on it.  I used brightness and contrast for everything because it kind of edits the light dark parts of the photo. I used the move tool to put everything together because it was easier for me instead of copying and pasting. I like it because it’s representing the school and I though it would’ve been an easy subject since I’m at school all of the time.

Choice # 1

  

This is a picture of my kitten, her name is Lucky.  This photo was taken in my bedroom November 8th at 1:56 pm. The mode was on pet.

I first i cropped my finger out of the right side of the photo. Then blurred the background a little bit more using the blur tool, then I enhanced the photo with curves. The input set to 193 and the output to 224. I used the vibrance tool and changed the vibrance to 11 & the saturation to -6. Using brightness and contrast, I changed the brightness to -16 and contrast to 14. Then I color corrected it; Cyan -9, Magenta -6 , Blue 6.I like this picture because it a cute picture of her and I really don't get a picture when she's calmed and relaxed.

Architecture

This photo was taken October 30th in Bena at 3:55 pm.

The mode was set on scenery with the flash off.

This photo didn't need much editing, so first I cropped it a bit. Then I took the red sign out of the back near the cafe sign. and fixed the wall on the bottom right hand corner. I used the clone stamp tool for both. Then I used cuves to enhance it, the input was 170 and the output was 151. I also used brightness and contrast and vibrance. Brightness was 12 and contrast was 23 & on the vibrance I changed the vibrance too 27 and the saturation to 13. I like this picture because of the angle of it.

Scale

This photo was take November 4th in my house -at 7:49 pm.

The mode was set on auto with the flash off.

Ok, so first of all the picture was way to dark so I used curves to brighten it up. The out put was 208 and the input was 153. Then using the vibrance tool, I set the vibrance to 10 and the saturation to 10. And finally using brightness and contrast; Ikept the brightness at 0 and changed the contrast to 70. I kind of like this picture but not a whole lot, because this is the closest I could get to scale.

Diagonal Rule

This photo was taken October 30th in Bena at 4:07 pm. It was taken on the scenery mode with the flash on.

 I started off looking at the picture for something that I can take out. And it's not really neccesary to do all of that so I just took out a few of the post on the left using the patch tool. Then I wanted to enhance the picture; I used curves and the output was 204 and the input was 191. Then using brightness and contrast;  I kept the brightness the same and changed the contrast to 36, and finally using the vibrance, I changed it to 14 and kept the saturation the same. I like this mainly because how the way the posts are lined up to make it look diagonal and the tree just makes it look even better.

Lines

This was taken October 30th at 3:50pm. It was taken in the park in Bena on the scenery mode.

First I used the clone stamp tool to take out some of the sticks on the ground, I thought they were a bit distracting. Then I brighten it up a little bit using curves; output 156 & input 176. And using brightness and contrast; brightness 2 and contrast 39. I also used the vibrance tool, set the vibrance to 68 which made the colors pop a little bit more. I like this picture because I thought in was very suitable for lines.

Landscape =)

This is my land emphasis landscape. It was taken October 30th in Bena at 3:59 pm on the scenery mode

with the flash on.

 

 

First I used the clone stamp tool to get rid of some of the stuff on the ground and I also edited the trees on the upper right hand corner. Then using curves I enhanced it a bit ; output 185 and input 196. And I also used brightness/contrast; brightness - 8 and contrast to 66.This is a land emphasis because there's more land than sky and the main focus is on the train tracks. I like this it because I it makes me think about history and I thought it was something different compared to what I usually take pictures of.

^_^

This is my sky emphasis landscape. It was taken on October 20th at 4:45pm on the scenery mode with the flash on.

 The first thing I did is took the power lines out using the clone stamp tool.

Then I went to curves and brought it up a little bit. Afterwords I used the vibrance tool and put the vibrance to 8 and kept the saturation the same. The picture really didn't need a whole lot of editing so that why I only edited it a little bit. I I love this picture because it's like a perfect sunset. And this was the view from my bedroom window so thats even better.

Black & White w/ Color

This picture was takes October 21st at 1:40 pm. I took it on the flower mode.

This is the black and white picture. To make it black and white I went to hue/saturation and pulled the saturation all the way down. And I went to curves and made it a little brighter because the flower looked really dark.

   After I changed it to black and white I selected the flower using the marquee tool. Then with the flower selected I used the eraser tool and made the flower and stem have color. I color corrected it afterwords using curves and used brightness and contrast to make the picture look more vibrant. I changed the brightness to 8 and the contrast to 31. I like this picture because it's very peaceful in a way. In my opinion the grass and flower make the picture very relaxing and pretty .

Photo Cleanup

This is a picture of my neighbor's house.It was taken October 13th at 4:39pm. I took it on the scenery mode with the flash on. I chose this picture because it looks nice and I couldn't find anything else

around my area that i can change. =))

Ok, so first I got rid of the water stains using the clone stamp tool because they were very distracting. Then using color balance I changed the red to +26, green to +24, and the blue to +20.Then I went on the vibrance tool and changed the vibrance to +8 and the saturation to +6. After all of that I went on exposure and changed the offset to -0.0393.The clone stamp tool worked the best for me because the other tools just kept copying things from the windows and i didnt like it. I like the color corrected photo better because the water stains are out and its has brighter colors. I tried making the windows a little darker but obviously that didn't work out for me. ^_^

Color Replacement

This picture is kind of an old picture, it was taken in 2007. I'm pretty sure the mode was on auto.I used this one because I didn't want use color replacement on any other of my newer photos.

So, for this picture I changed color of his eyes to green, if you look closely you'll see. I changed the color of his head band too. Then using the adjustments mask I increased the vibrance to 33 and the saturation to +16. Which made him look kinda tanner instead of him looking pale like in the first picture. I like this picture because the the colors are a brighter and in my opinion, it makes the picture look better. =)

Straight Vs Angle

 This picture was taken on Septemeber 20th, 2010 at 5:01 pm. The mode was set on auto with the flash on.

This picture was also taken September 20th, 2010 at 5:01 PM. This one was taken with a flash on the scenery mode. I went on photshop and made it a little bit brighter using the curves adjustment, then I went on color balance, highlights and made the green stand out a little more. Compared to the photo on top of this one, it's much more clearer and the colors are brighter.
