Non-Destructive Images Adjustments

 


Non-Destructive Image Adjustments


Solid Color 

Solid Color is an image adjustment that covers the image with a color. I don't know how this can be useful professionally. I couldn't play around with the color a lot so I just picked my favorite color.

Gradient

Gradient made part of the image a specific color and it slowly fades out. I also couldn't edit Gradient, I couldn't edit the color to at least be blue. If it changes colors, it might be useful in a professional aspect.

Brightness/ Contrast

Brightness and contrast is self-explanatory. It changes the brightness and contrast of the image. This image adjustment is probably used a lot by professionals.

Levels

Levels was the first image adjustment that I played around with the most. I started making the image dark and then try to get another color to be shown that goes well with black like red, green, or white. Only green and red were shown and I liked how it turned out.

Curves

I like how curves turned out, it reminds me of how one of the blend modes. The image adjustment makes most of the image white, light blue, and light green. It also makes the image very dark which makes it hard  to see.

Exposure

I played with Exposure a bit, but it almost looked the same as curves when I set the setting to low and I made them stay up. I made exposure really make the white color stand out in the image. It also made it so we can still see all the colors, unlike curves.

Vibrance

Vibrance makes it so colors that are seen, are more lit up or less saturated. Even though the process is simple it makes the image look better. It makes the whole image look more bright.

Hue and Saturation

Hue and Saturation is another one that I liked because I played around with the setting to make it look cool. It made the background for the guy look red, which makes him look evil. The hand also looks good and is highlighted by white pixels.

Color Balance

I used Color Balance to make most of the image green, I also made it slightly yellow and cyan which makes the green a more light green. The image looks pretty good, but it has too much green, professionals might use this.

Black and White

For Black and White I made it so the back ground for the guy is mainly white. I wanted some of the hand to show and it worked. Also the man has two colors in his face so I had to make them around the same color.

Photo Filter

For Photo Filter, the whole image looks a bit darker and clean. Other than that the image didn't change a lot. The image looks alright and I can see a professional using it to make a image look slightly darker.

Channel Mixer

For Channel Mixer, I played around with red, green, and a bit of blue. The image looks really good with the adjustment and makes it so it focuses on two colors. The white on the book makes it look like the background is a marble table.

Invert

Invert just inverted the colors of the image, but it didn't like me play around with the settings and just left it as it is. Even though it didn't let me edit the image, the image itself looks good and cool. Professionals might use this with a mask or use it in a show to show something cool happening.

Posterize

Posterize made the image look like it had less pixels than it actually did. I used a mask on this image and masked the man. I made it so the man is the only thing that wouldn't get effected by the Posterize image adjustment.

Threshold

Threshold was really cool because I could edit what stayed in the image and what didn't. Whatever stayed in the image is black and I made it so some of the man stayed in the image.

Gradient Map

 Gradient Map looks really cool and it made me add a filter into the image and is why the image looks like that. The default made it green but I changed it to the light blue color that has some regular blue in it.

Robot Final

  Robot Final 1.0 2.0 \ Draft The idea of creating a robot out of images from the internet is really smart and fun. For my robot, I had the idea of making it British and having British stereotypes, like biscuits, tea, and formal wear. For the biscuits, I used some that my mom and I love getting and I think that they are from Scotland and not Britain. The body and legs are mainly fancy clothes with a knife and hammer as hands, a hand watch, and a tea bag as extra stuff. My robot is carrying a cup of tea because he is British and who doesn't like tea? My robot's head has a fancy plate covered with circle biscuits as eyes, a triangular biscuit as a nose, a monocle, two tea cups as ears, and a fancy robotic hat. To make my robot look right, I had to erase some parts of the pants and sleeves. I also got an image of a shoe pointing to the right and the right hand holding a teacup so my robot wouldn't be symmetrical. Lastly, thanks to Gio, he helped me find out how to create shado...

Photoshop Blend Modes

Image
  Photoshop Blend Modes Working in photoshop again was cool and refreshing from working with InDesign and illustrator. I used 15 blend modes and used the brush for the rest. I changed the size, color, smoothness, and flow of the brush to see how it affects the mini pictures. Smoothness made it hard to draw but also made it smooth in return. For the brushes, I colored in some parts of the pictures, like my face or hair. For others, I just highlighted my face or glasses. Some of the blend modes are cool, but others make it hard to see. "Subtract" makes me look cool and reminds me of a character called Mr. Negative. "Luminosity" and "Vivid Light" look clean and are pretty clear to see. "Hue" and "Color is cool but is hard to see me. In the pictures, the only thing you can see are my eyes, hair, and glasses. "Color Burn" looks awesome and is likely supposed to make it look like the picture has been burned. " Lighter Color" an...

Branded Print Ad: final

Image
  Branded Print Ad: final For my ad, I made up a game from Medieval times, which is my product. I put my logo on the bottom right of the page because it's where the game poster would put the game developer logo at. For example for Pokémon, Nintendo is part of making the game but game freak is the game-developing company. My tagline is games that change lives, which it's supposed to mean that the games are really good. I put ratings from real game rating companies and from gamers. Ratings of the games are normally in-game ads/ posters so they people know if the product is good or not. I also put a DLC section in the ad because it's something that would normally be in a game ad. In the description section, I wrote a little about the story of the game and the mission. For pictures, I added two characters and crossing axes to symbolize that it was medieval times. I also put a phone number to call if there is anything about the game that people would like to ask. I tried to put ...
