2.green truck edited: adjusted levels and saturation; applied smart filter angled strokes; saved as jpg to flatten layers; reopened and deleted the image before using the history brush tool to “paint” the image back on; added the black border by increasing the canvas size

4.plant edited: adjusted levels; changed crop settings (width: 5.5 in, height: 3.15 in; res:150) and cropped the image; added black border by increasing the canvas size (made bottom of black border wider); added text
I really enjoyed the edits this week just because they were such practical things to do (especially the second one where all I did was increase the canvas size) but they make a huge effect in the look of the image and really give it a professional feel. I also never really knew how to use the history brush tool before, but giving the painting effect was a cool way to experiment with that tool. Both of these images were taken in Swan Valley and I love the shallow depth of field on the second one—I actually took it in a huge crater there and I thought the lighting turned out really good.
Great job on the composition of the second shot. It looks amazing! I really like the nice touch of the border and the simple text. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI love your second shot. Nice composition and simple black border. It really sets the image off nicely. I like your simple text as well. I think the picture of the truck could have used a little levels adjustment, it seems a bit light but it is a nice angle and I like the painted border for it.
ReplyDeleteI really like both of your photos, I think you did a nice job. I like the first one because I think it is really fun when people choose to paint a photo. I am however, not sure if I like the black border with it. I think it works, but I think maybe a different color or different type of border could make it stronger. The second picture is my favorite. I think the black border looks really nice and I love the text with it. Great job!!!
