Still life


For this activity we were supposed to make a still life using photo shop and incorporate one of the given themes. The theme I Choose was surrealism. In photo shop I used many different filters like artistic, blur and pixilate. I used the lasso tool to copy the pictures onto the bedroom background and I used the burn and dodge tools as well.

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.
