All Work and No Play....

This is where I will be posting my Course work, maybe not quite as riveting as what is contained elsewhere on my blog, but it's the main reason I'm here.
So what's your excuse?

1. Practice Image
My first attempt at Photoshop


The original pic was much lighter. I have darkened it and altered the hue/saturation to make the energy more otherworldly. As a last touch, the bottom pic has had a liquid filter used on the background, and a subtle wave effect used on her hands.


The Good, The Bad and the Ugly



With these pics I have used filters. the first is the original pic, the second had a mosaic filter (i think) applied to it, and the last had a neon filter applied to it.


2. Coloring Exercise

Edited Pic (with flowers)
In the two edited pics, the clone tool was used to remove the crack. In the second pic, after moving the man down, the clone tool was used to try and fix the resulting space left behind where the pathway and fencing were previously obscured by the man.

Edited Pic
(AKA - "Dude where's your car?")
The clone tool was used to remove all trace of the car from the pic, and make it appear that the grass, pathway, and guttering  had never been covered. the car shadow has also been removed from the roadway.

 This montage is a mixture of about a dozen different pictures overlaid across one another

I have pasted myself into the original background picture, with the pictures taken of myself
in a few different poses.

8. Text Placement



10. Mailbox Photos and Create your own filter






Three photos of a mailbox. I have created my own filter by using a combination of the unsharp mask, glowing edge and film grain filters to produce this interesting effect.
