Week 6 Exercises: 



Photoshop has standard Auto Corrections such as:
Image: Auto colour, Auto tone, Auto contrast






Using 1_slovenian_river.jpg:



Image is under exposed 
    - using the histogram we can see this...



Use Auto Colour
  • Calm, beautiful, peaceful
  • Warmer image



- Still under exposure




  

Areas of high contrast:  Purple fringing at edges shown below:






CLONE STAMP TOOL
·       Size and hardness of brush
·       Blend modes
·       Opacity
·       Pens/pencils used with tablets
·       Drop down menu, current layer









Hold option key
·       Sample rocks to cover other rubbish



You’ll see patterns of landscape if you look at image with vigour



“Non destructive” way of doing it use:
  • layer 1 (copy)
  • Different size brushes

These techniques are so cool! I love the clone stamp tool! I think once you get the hang of using them they are going to be very useful tools to use in my own work! Everytime I look at these images I am amazed that I did them! I know they aren't perfect but the techniques and tools are so clever! 




DIGITAL MANIPULATION IN NEWS
·       Different perspectives
·       Darker shadows, no feathering
·       Repeated areas physically highlighted




CJ showed us a photograph on the internet/news website which looked at this kind of digital manipulation in the media:
