Portrait

I chose this picture because it kind of reminds me of an add for Under Armor. I had a hard taking a portrait of Cooper because he is at the point where he just doesn't want to sit still. Finding the right light for this picture was hard because it was taken in the car and the light was making it so bright or it was causing white parts on the photo.

Clone

Before

After

I cloned the large red leaf in this picture. I then went to the brush option and chose the leaf shape and cloned it through out the picture.

Filter

This is our cat Nos, like nitrous oxyde nos. I did the filter distort, i chose the difuse glow and angled strokes. I didn't want to distort it to the point where he wasnt cute anymore, so i liked that it looks like he's a painting.

I was going to find something that looked mean and scary because he is the unfriendliest cat around. I couldn't find anything that did his temper justice.

Dodgeing

AFTER
Cooper had jaundice when he was first born so i went over him with the dodge tool, many, many times until i got him....white enough. I also went over the cat and Coopers blanket with the dodge tool to make sure they stood out. The i went over the toys and part of the bouncy chair with the brush under the hard light option....I ended up going back overthem a few times with the brush under soft light just to make it a bit more even.

BEFORE

2 Changed Photos

With this picture i started to play with the colors and change them here and there. Chris is on the left and Rob is on the right. Rob had really rosie cheeks in the picture and i was trying to get them to not be so red. I then found the Posterize option and clicked that. I have seen many pictures like this and never knew how they did it. I love the way it looks, although they look like poster children for reasons to not walk in a dark ally.

In this photo I auto colord the photo but then decided to do it in a black and white. i then went to then I went to the selective color option and made it a little red, a little blue and a little green. There are hints here and there but i didn't want the colors to overwhelm the image.

Week Seven

After 5 days of trying to download Adobe Photoshop i finally got it! I chose to take a picture of Cooper and place it as though he was in a pile of leaves. The hardest part i had was trying to make the hole to show Coopers face. Instead of going to edit i was just deleting the opening which wasn't giving me the faded look. I only did a 10 pixel fade in this picture.
