Melon Head Lab

Completing the melon head lab was an amazing experience for me because i have not had previous experience using photoshop or the tool involved in editing something. What i did was created a face using various fruits and then something creative next to it which were birds and a sun out of a grapefruit. Although i have only used three of the tools in the tool bar, it was fun to experiment with the tools and the different ways to use the tool. it gave me an opportunity to see where I'm standing in terms of my photoshop skills and also to let my creativity shine through even though it wasn't very creative but I'm still proud of my accomplishment. the different types of tool i used was the marquee tool, lasso tool, and magic wand tool. then there were subcategories to the tools like the magnetic lasso tool and the rectangular marquee tool. All these tool allowed me to create the following image. The objective of the lab was for me to learn about the different tools that are used for selecting photos and applying them to an actual photo.

The process of doing this lab for me was to first select each individual tool with a tool that would suit it the best. For the fruits such as the carrot, blueberry, and melon was selected using the marquee tool. For the mushroom and grapefruit I used the lasso tool to select them. Then for the macaroni and radish was selected using the magnetic lasso tool because it had many rigid edges that had to be included. Next after selecting all the fruits i did layer via copy for each fruit and using the move tool i moved the fruits so it would create a face This is relevant in Visible Design because there will be a substantial amount of times where we will have to select a specific part of a photo and edit it. This is practice for us to known when and which tools to use when we select. Like I said before there will be multiple times where these skills while be useful and this is because in the future and even later on this year I will have to use the same tools to select photos.

Lab2: Editing Lancelot

Image
This is the second lab of this year and what we did was edit a picture of Lancelot using different adjustments. the main objective of this lab fro me was to experiment adjusting images in various ways so each one would have something unique about it but this lab has had something else in mind which was to teach us a new way to select an image which was to use edit in quick mask mode. the procedure of this lab was to first select Lancelot; however, we did not use edit in quick mask mode at first, we used whatever tool we wanted. the whole class soon realized how difficult it was to select Lancelot. then we learned about the magic of using edit in quick mask mode because we could then select most of Lancelot with ease without having the blue background ruining the image. After making sure that Lancelot was selected to the best of our abilities I had to make at least eight new layers using layer via copy but these Lancelots had to be smaller than the original Lancelot. this was done by sc

Project 3: Restore Old Photograph

Image
this project was the process of restoring a damaged photo only using the editing tools. the objective of this lab was to restore the photo to how it would be before all the damage; all the editing was to be done to the " best " of our ability. the way i completed the project was by using the various editing tools in photoshop such as the patch tool, spot healing brush tool, healing brush tool, content awareness tool, and clone stamp tool. By using these tools in various ways you can get rid of most of the damage done over time. The tool i used the most was the healing brush tool and the spot healing brush tool because in my opinion worked the most efficient. Of course it wasn't perfect, if used too much it would just blur the image so it had to be used with caution. To me this was a very useful even though it is very difficult to become acustom to. It is also relevant in Web Design because in nature or anything there will be a flaw and so to be able to correct the flaw i
