WordvilleMaking a video in Photoshop can be a way to make all memories into one motion picture. When making a video in Photoshop, you can add audio and different effects to make for a really cool video. It’s great having a digital software that allows people to make videos.
When working with selection tools in Photoshop, it’s usually a two step process. First using one of the selection tools to select part of the photo you want to change. You would then use another tool, filter, or other tool to make changes. You can make changes with these other tools like moving the selected pixels to a different location or applying filters to the selected area in your image. Selections can be made by size, color. and shape. When your selection is active, changes you make apply only to your selected area. The other areas of your photo that have not been selected are unaffected.
There are four main types of selections:
Geometric selections-
Freehand selections-
Edge-based selections-
Color-based selections
I loved using the Geometric selections like the Elliptical Marquee tool in this chapter. I enjoyed and found it very relaxing that I didn’t have to do much hard work for this lesson. The Elliptical Marquee tool made it easy to outline the parts of my image that I wanted to take out and place in the background of my new black image. I like to describe this tool as if it were acting as the claw game. It’s almost like I can simply reach in to my image with this tool, pull it out, and place it where I want it.
These tools effected my image by cropping and straightening my original image. I lightened the original image by selecting a white area in my image with the White Point tool. When I used the White Point tool, my whole image brightened. I adjusted the color of my image slightly using the levels icon. To decrease the blemishes in my image, I used the Spot Healing Brush . I attempted to remove the female from the image by using the Patch tool. Although I stretched my photo more than remove the unwanted element. The Clone Stamp was used on the benches to place more benches in place of my attempted Patch tool work. I removed the white spots from the original image using filter>noise>Dust & Scratches. The last steps I took when editing my original photo were sharpening the image and saving both my original photo and my edited photo.
In Photoshop, lesson one I got to know the work area. Lesson one taught me how to select and use a tool from the tools panel. I learned how to brighten an image, sample color, sample different brush sizes. Lesson one in Photoshop teaches how to select and use hidden tools, setting tool properties in the options bar, using panel and panel menus, undoing actions in Photoshop, panel locations, and expanding and collapsing panels.
I used my own landscape image for my greeting card in Photoshop, lesson one. My image displays a beautiful fall landscape and by following the steps given in Photoshop, lesson one, I was able to enhance my image with the techniques given.
For my Photoshop presentation, I will be teaching the class how to achieve the miniature effect on their desired photos. Follow these eleven steps to complete the effect.
After following the eleven steps located in the instructions, the finished product will resemble something like this.
