Cross processing

In this section we looked at cross processing. Cross Processing involved changing the colour of an image and adding tone. Firstly I loaded up the image. Then I added a curve adjustments layer curves. I did this by going to layer and then to curve adjustments and then curves. The idea was to change certain colours to different shapes. For this which is the blue coloured one I used an inverted shape on the curve to create this. 

For green I added a slight s shape.

And for red I made a more obvious s shape. The last image shows all three together.

In design Drop Cap, guides, images, text

In this weeks practical lesson I looked at in-design. I started off looking at placing images into In-design. Decide to use smiley faces. I did this by saving an image and placing it into a rectangular box that I had drawn previously. Then i resized them and moved them into the centre of the frame. I did this by using the white arrow. The black arrow moved the rectangle i had originally drawn.  The I started to use the text boxes and placing just old and general documents into the boxes i made as you can see above. The title i changed by using the stroke option to the far right. This makes the text bigger and gives an outline to the text and then i added colour to it also. I used the black arrow to the highlight the text when doing so.

For the images on the left hand side I created guides to separate the rectangles that i drew. This allowed me to shape the images and place them wherever I wanted them to go. Then I saved 6 images in my in-design folder and placed them and then manipulated them.  For the whole text, again I did the same as what i did for the title. I placed the text in to the text boxes. I text wrapped it. And then I moved the text into the frame using the white arrow tool. finally I added the drop cap. I did this by highlighting a piece of text and going to the drop cap to change the first letter by making it larger.

Healing Brush Tool Usage

This is the before and after shots of Zoe. Today I used the healing brush tool to change the way someone would look. To do this I went to photoshop, uploaded a photo and started to edit. Firstly I duplicated the layer by going to layers, shift then duplicate. this allowed me to make a first layer to go back to if things went wrong. Then I started with the healing brush tool itself. This gave me a circle icon which i could hover over the image. Then I used the alt key over the image and then clicked on a piece of skin which was of a normal colour. This would allow me to use this piece of skin for all of the spots and make change the image. I simply went over any spots or red areas, making sure i didn't hit any eyes, nose or eyebrows etc and then I was left with this image.
