Photoshop Presentation
Transcript: My Photoshop Skills The first tool I used was the rectangular marquee tool. Then, I learned how to fill in the boxes I made I also learned how to group things together so they're attached. Aside from the rectangular marquee tool, I used a similar one called the elliptical marquee tool and different types of fill colours and designs like gradient. For a beginner, I was proud of how it turned out! I added a texture and gradient to the square. I used a bevel for the circle to make it look like a button. I added a drop shadow to the triangle to make it look a little 3D while it's overlaying the square. For my custom shape, I picked a music note for which I added a glow. Since all these shapes are a little bit plain, I used bright colours to make it stand out. The cool thing I learned about Layers is that you can change the order of them to make things on the bottom or top. The filter I used for this was an artistic one. Since this is a hockey picture taking place out in the open near the mountains, I wanted to make it look like there was a snow storm going on and I think it turned out pretty nice. This is one of my favourite Photoshop filters called Lens Flare. In between the two mountains, seen down the middle, I made it look like there was either a sunrise or sunset. I feel like this filter changed the mood of the picture...it sort of give's it that "eat, sleep, hockey" vibe. This was one the pictures I was most proud of editing! For this edit, I took a picture of a beach sunset and used the layers tool to put it behind the original cut picture. For this edit I wanted to make it look like a big wave with coming upon shore and I did the same exact thing with the layer tool. I took a picture of a wave and put it behind the original. I was proud of both edits, they came out better than I expected. The adjustment tool is very easy to use and allows you to change levels, hue/saturation, exposure, etc. For one of the edits, I changed the hue/saturation to give the picture a blue tint and I also did the posterize effect. It gave it an artistic look. For the second edit, I made the exposure level very high and since it's an outdoor picture, it made it look sunny. I really like the blue tint one because I think it looks artistic! Take a look... This was a fun and easy tool to use. It gives you the opportunity for example, to edit a face for any flaws. I edited a picture of Harry Styles and I made his skin look picture perfect as well as fix any blowing hair. I also got rid of the shininess on his face and the bags under his eyes. I used the healing tool and if I made any mistakes I would use the spot healing tool. Here's the difference between the original and edit... Thank you for watching my presentation This was one of my favourite activities to do because I like using all kinds of filters! I've never used Photoshop, so to see what kind of filters it had to offer was awesome. I've used many similar ones, not necessarily the same though. I'm only going to show two of the ones I liked best... The Type Tool When we first started Photoshop, I thought it was going to be very difficult; especially as having this as my first task. It turned out MUCH better than I expected. I think I would definitely make it look much better because I have picked up all the skills I need! I knew how to use the transform tool because we worked on it a lot on Fireworks. The task was to take a picture and put it into a billboard and I found it quiet easy. All I had to do was take a picture of cheesecake and a picture of a billboard, distort the cheesecake and resize it to fit in the billboard. Layers and Shapes Photo Editing Just a little colour My first creation The Transform Tool This was one of my favourite activities. I took a picture of Crosby skating alone on the ice and I wanted to make him stand out even though he was alone.Although the picture was dull to begin with, I wanted to show off how well I could make him stand out. So I added more saturation to the original and then duplicated the layer and made it black and white. I cut out the shape of Crosby and deleted it causing him to be colour. I added a blur to the black and white layer and voila! I was very proud of this one, I think it looks pretty awesome! First is the original, then the edit... Adjustment Tool Using Filters You can do lots of cool stuff with the type tool and I thought the coolest thing is the type mask tool. It allows you to type something and takes the background of what you're typing on. I saw that one of the examples was a fall inspired picture and I thought that since I really like Christmas, I can do something cool with that. So I took a picture of lights and got my "masked" text and then I took a picture of a Christmas tree and blurred everything except for it. I think it look's pretty cool, I wouldn't mind using it as a wallpaper! My First Creation Retouch and Healing Tool I learned some very important things while working on this activity. Learning about
