We were given four photos to edit. For our first lab this third marking period (our 6th lab overall), we were required to use the application Adobe Photoshop CS6. In this lab we learned how to use new photoshop tools such as, the clone tool, spot healing brush tool, healing brush, patch tool, smudge tool, dodge tool, sharpen tool, blur tool, burn tool, and the sponge tool. The photos we were given, we had to fix some minor errors located in the images and make them better. However, in competing this process, we had to make sure we did not edit the photos too much that they seem edited. In pic a, I used the clone tool to fix the rip in the bottom left of the picture, in order to use the clone stamp you have to press down the option key, so the tool can get a hold of what you want to clone. Next, I used the spot healing brush to get rid of the sprinkler heads. The following picture, picture b, I used the healing brush to erase the initials DJ from the rock and to erase the chips and holes. Then, I used the patch tool to get rid of the big crack located on the right side. For picture c, I used the healing brush to get rid of the wrinkles located in the mans forehead. In addition, I used the patch tool to get rid of the following wrinkles under the eyes. Lastly, in picture d, we first started off using the marquee tool to select the top part and change its color, I changed the color to a maroon color by using replace color. Afterwards, I applied the smudge tool for the tiles in the bottom. I used the sharpen tool to sharpen the right windows and the blur tool to blue the left side of the window. The dodge tool was needed to be applied on the the side of the window door and on the right side I used the ben tool. And for the finishing touch, I used the sponge tool to desaturate the left side of the roses and to saturate the right side of the roses.
I found this lab a bit easy because some pictures were easier to edit compared to others. The thing that made this project a bit difficult was because we were brought upon new tools we have not used in our previous labs or projects. Most of the tools were easy to learn, but one tool I found myself having difficulty using was the patch tool. I feel like I still need more practice using the patch tool out of all the tools we have learned to use. This is why when recreating picture c, I had trouble because in order to get rid of the wrinkles under the eyes we had to use the patch tool. I was a bit scared because I did not want to over exaggerate a picture, making it seem like I edited it too much. I found this picture the most difficult to work with. However, I really enjoyed editing the last picture, picture d, because it required us to experience/use the most tools. And I really loved how picture d came out as a result, as well as my other three pictures. Overall, I found this project very fun to work on especially when we used the text tool because we also learned how to use the rectangle tool. We used the rectangle tool, and filled the background with a gradient color and then we used the text tool to place our text inside the rectangle. This time we were able to warp our text into a different style. In the future, these new tools will help us emphasize on a picture especially because I the tools we learned in the project can help cover up mistakes and make some mistakes not seem like mistakes.
