Activity 12

In this project the task was to sake certain pictures and correct their imperfections.
                                                               This is the before ...

and this is the after ...

In order to fix this I went to curves and played with the lighting until I found the right amount of lighting. The problem with the picture was that it was under exposed but now you can clearly see the girl. 

This is the before ...

The picture is overexposed and their are some undesired freckles. 


I used curves to give it the right amount of exposure and I used the clone tool to take away some of her freckles. 

This is the before ...

This picture is over exposed in most places and is mis colored

This is the after ...

I used the burn tool to darken some places up and then I used the clone tool to make the colors blend. I also went to curves to make it a little darker. 

This is the before ...



This picture is very old and has spots all over it. 




I used the clone tool to get rid of the spots and restore it to its original form. I also used the smudge tool to get rid of little dots or splotchy parts.

Activity 8


To edit this picture of American soccer player Landon Donovan I went to Edit > Transform > Rotate and rotated it to the right. I then added purple to the background to make it more interesting. I also went to Filter > artistic and used the poster edges effect. i feel this picture shows creative framing. 

This picture shows contrast. I went to lighting effects and played around with  the exposure, intensity, and focus. I also used the dodge and burn tools to make the contrast more apparent. 




For the final picture I used Image > adjustment > curves and gave the picture a specific directional lighting coming from the top right corner. Then I went to Filter and artistic and gave it an interesting effect.
