The goal of the light brightness layout was to individually edit 3 photos. For this layout I learned how to rotate pictures and how to use the 'free transform' option. i also learned how to put up a background. The most successful thing I accomplished on this layout was resizing pictures to make them fit perfectly.
For my dull color photo enhancement layout my goal was to enhance two pictures thus differentiating them from the original. In addition to further practicing the skills i already learned, I learned how to efficiently use the 'Text' option and how to change the colors of my chosen background. The most successful thing I did this time around was changing and altering my background without making a mess of my palettes and layers.
For my low contrast photo's layout, the goal was to further expand the knowledge of my skills and to continue differentiating two photos from the original. i continued to attempt perfecting the skills I've learned, by the end of the project I could perfect the 'free transform' option, I could also efficently change backgrounds, alter layers, resize and add text. The most successful thing I did was perfecting the overall appearance by altering fonts, colors, sizes and having a skillful use of the layers.
Unit two was an efficient introduction to Graphic Design, and in focus to photoshop. There are various types of Digital images, which are made up of pixels. The high resolution images are used for professional use, for the need of a clear picture, or to further edit due to its great number of pixels. A low resolution s used for small images, or for images that should purposely be unclear due to an artistic effect.
Digital images are used everyday, everywhere. They are used as logos, company branding, advertisements, television, websites, many are on Facebook, twitter, flickr, and numerous blogs. They are also used as symbols to represent thoughts, theories, and people.
Graphic design tools are used numerous times in one day all over the world. They are used to air brush, to enhance color, to rotate, to resize, to enlarge or even to minimize. They are used to improve a photos contrast or color scheme. They are also used to alter human features in which are not stereotypically attractive.
Many different tools are used to apply image enhancement. some of the most vital components of image enhancements are color enhancement, contrast enhancement, resizing and reshaping. Using the background tool, the free transform tool, the move tool, the layering palettes are all very useful. The tools used differ for every image and that specific images needs.
