INTRO TO PHOTOSHOP

photoshop tools

Using quick selection tool to transfer selected area onto a different background


Use brush tool to create shadow and blur to give effect



Use masking tool for inverted reflection and blur techniques to adjust colour 
and final outcome


TASK  ( insert your own picture in hearst mansion)
This was my first attempt ,

  • I started off by cutting out my image using pen tool from this picture 
  • I intended to take a different approach and use my self in a seated position rather than standing 
  • I used pen tool to cut my legs to and vertically flip them in the water to make a reflection
  • Along with that i used gaussian blur and brush strokes to create the shadow on the wall  
  • After making the shadow i did minor details on the edges where my legs meet the  water to make it more blended 



Process as in exercise 

After the pen tool selection i copy pasted my image into the mansion on a new layer 

FEEDBACK
  • Resizing is needed 
  • Remove shazam from picture  and use only yourself 
After receiving feedback , i made the necessary changes  and this was the final outcome 


Also included in this was blending modes i used ,mostly soft light to brighten the picture a bit 

After a second check for edges and etc , i moved on to submission .
