Advanced Image Editing

Week 3

In this project I used Generate image to create the city, the broken building, and the monk. I used my moon photograph cut out and then created light sources, shadows, a Dr. Strange type portal and I pieced it all together.

For this one, I just followed the YouTube Tutorial.

Rectangle Marquee Selection Tool

To achieve this I used the Rectangle Marquee tool the selection modify and ctrl/shift to manipulate the size and shape of the selection. I also used modify feather 2 pixels then adjusted the levels, contrast and curves.

Elliptical Marquee Selection Tool

To achieve this I used the Elliptical Marquee tool the selection modify and ctrl/shift to manipulate the size and shape of the selection. I also used modify feather 2 pixels then adjusted the levels, contrast, hue saturation and curves.

Lasso and Polygonal Lasso Tool Section

I used the Lasso tool and held down ALT to transform it into the Polygonal Lasso tool in order to click the lines into place for the selection. I then used hue saturation to change the color and a mask to bring the original bolts color back.

Color Range Selection

using color range selection and eye dropper then refining the selection with mask I was able to achieve this result.

Luminosity

Working in the Channels panel

water splash as candle flame

using Channels panel, and transforming the splash shape the adjusting hue saturation and adding color shadows.

Ctrl click on one channel at a time inverse the selection and fill with black onto a new white layer then apply masks to 2 of the new layers and play with opacity to create beautiful black and white images.

Week 2

White balance correction

using curves grey dropper tool after finding absolute grey using edit-fill-50% grey-blend difference-threshold filter-color sampler this is the result it gave me. I further worked the image here:

I used the vibrance filter to increase to color without losing data.

using the same grey dropper tool in curves I corrected the white balance. I then further added vibrance here:

using the camera raw filter I corrected the white balance in this photograph.

I changed the Giraffe color with a tint of blue, colored the eyes green and gave it a cool gradient background just for fun.
