Some More Photoshop Work
These are even more pictures that I have created using Photoshop. This assignment was a type of “free-for-all” where we could create any type of picture we wanted and try to make as many as we could using the skills we have learned in Photoshop. The three pictures I have shown here I used the skills of using the filter gallery to change the picture’s look and the black and white mode to emphasize a certain color.
I had always wanted to know how to make a color picture black and white, all except a certain part. Now, I can say that I know how, and it’s pretty cool how it turns out. Some steps in the process of making the image is making the settings of the picture black in white by changing it’s hue and saturation and adding a duplicate of the image on the bottom that is the original look. Then erasing from the black and white layer, you erase all that you want using the eraser tool and being extremely careful. For example in this picture, I only erased the vests from the black and white image, to reveal the red-orange of the vests. The picture was taken in Westerly, Rhode Island, when Choma and I went to visit the McGills and we went kayaking in the roaring sea.
The picture of the San Juan surf shop, I made look a little cartoon-like. On top of that, I changed the color of the picture by emphasizing on blue and changed the brightness and contrast levels.
In the last image, I cut a picture of a polar bear and placed it on another image of a desert. I changed the size and settings of the polar bear to better fit the landscape and make it look so totally real!! …Right??!!
