Photoshop

This weeks assignment was difficult yet fun and very informing. I had never used Photoshop and was very overwhelmed at first. Once I watched the videos provided and searched for more videos I really started to understand the program a bit more. These pictures I've posted are very amateur but I had a lot of fun working on them.

In this picture I used the selection tools to out line the tree and inverted the color. I then used the tie-dyed impression stamp to make the strings of color on the tree. After that I used the shape stamp to apply the star. 


This picture was so much fun to work with. I went out on the frozen lake in front of my house and took a picture of the sun setting. Once I began learning more about Photoshop I thought it would be fun to add a picture of a polar bear to this photo. I found the polar bear picture on Google images. Once I opened it up in Photoshop I used changed the image size. I then used the selection tool to outline the polar bear figure in the photo. I adjusted the color and brightness of the picture. After that I used the clone stamp to move the polar bear into the image of the lake. I enjoyed putting this picture together.

  1. Sarah- both of these pictures turned out very well. I love the polar bear with pines and birch in the background - really reminds you that you can't always trust a picture. The tree is very artistic and really becomes the focal point. I agree that Photoshop is fun but can also be frustrating - you know what you want to do but not quite how to do it. Luckily there is a lot of great help on the internet.

  2. Sarah-
    I think you did a great job with these! I like the one on the bottom with the polar bear, this one looks extremely realistic.

  3. Hi everyone
    I agree photoshop can be fun, but it is hard at first to find the correct tool then figure out how to use it. I like the polar bear on the frozen lake . Great job. Maria

  4. These are great as a place to begin. Photoshop and all of the other Adobe products have so much depth, that it could take a lifetime to learn all that they have to offer.

  5. I like the second one the best. The bear just flows in the picture. Especially with the sunset and snow in the picture.
