Let It Happen

As these last few weeks past by we spend most of our class time working on different tools we can use in Photoshop. This picture here is an overview of what I learned in Photoshop. We learned many different types of editing pictures like fish eye, black and white, and blending images, and more.

This is my blending image and I first had to choose three images to combine together. The hard part about choosing your three photos are that you have to make sure when you combine them together it does not look too busy. When I applied the picture of the girl on top of photograph of the table of artwork, she was too light. So what I decided to do was go to image of girl and changed the brightness and contrast so that she can stand out more and not get lost in the photograph. Then a drawing from the table photograph was in my way of seeing the bracelet the girl was wearing. I went to the table photograph and used the clone tool to get rid of the artwork on the table to get a clean white paper. Then finally, once I combined those two photographs together it was finally at the image I want to look like. After, I added another photo to the blended one to have three images in one photo. I did not have to do much to the third photograph because it basically already how I wanted to look like.  Once I finished combining all three photos I played around with the brightness and contrast so you can see all the three images as well as if you saw them separately. After that was all done; to add more effects to it, I used the gradient tool to get the dark edges on the photograph. I did not want it too dark because then I would lose the picture that I am trying to portray. 

When we were first learning about photoshop, I thought it was the hardest thing of my life. I did not understand why it had to take so many steps. I was not a fan of photoshop at first, because it just took too long for something really simple. I always thought why we could not just use a website that does it for us. But turns out there are not that many websites that can do the same thing photoshop can do. I became more use to the fact of using photoshop and accepting that it takes time to get the photo you want.
