WEEK 3 DUOTONE

                                                                 MAGIC LIMBO 

My goal was to create an image that was surreal and whimsical. I chose a image of a hare, I used the quick selection tool to carefully cut out the hare, removing him from a grassy background. It took me several tries to understand how to properly take advantage of this powerful tool which has now become one of my favorite photoshop tools. I paired the image of the hair with a photo of fireflies. The tones I used were black and mauve. I am happy with the result. One snag I did run into however came about when it was time to save the image. I could not figure out why photoshop would only allow me to save in certain photoshop formats and would not allow me to select jpeg. After scouring the internet for answers, I found that duotone mode could not be saved as an image. I selected RGB color and was finally able to save the image.

WEEK 4 COLOR CORRECTION

BEFORE: 

SWEET TEA

AFTER

GARDEN TEA PARTY

Using a split complementary color scheme, I adjusted the hues of several items within the above picture including but not limited to the tea cups and plates themselves but also adjusted the coloring of the flowers which can be seen on the right side of the image. I also worked to adjust the individual rose buds within the top purple tea cup, changing them from soft pinks to vibrant citrus colors. After making the specific color adjustments I then manipulated the overall levels of the photo, brightening the image. In hindsight, I see that the colors may be to intense and slightly oversaturated.
