Creative Color

 Vintage Color
To make this photo look older, I changed the primary colors in Curves to make the color a little bit more yellow. Also, I decreased the saturation and vibrancy.

Pictorialism
To make this photo not look exactly like a photo, I added a vignette and noise. Also, I made the photo and colors darker.

High Color Contrast
For this photo, I increased Vibrancy and Saturation to make the colors more intense. Also, I made an extreme S-Curve in Curves and incrased the contrast and brightness.

Text in Image


To edit this image, I used Adobe Illustrator. I chose lyrics from the song "Creep" by Radiohead because they tied into my image of a plate of food.
The lyrics and the picture together represent someone having an eating disorder .

High Pass Sharpening

I feel bad for editing this picture and I hope she never sees it...

I used the High Pass feature to sharpen this image and bring out the details. Then I used a Layer Mask to blur the background.

Rhythm

For this assignment, I showed movement by taking pictures of people in different places but in the same scene. Then in Photoshop I used the magnetic lasso tool and layer masks to move them from one picture to a background image.

Color Emphasis


For these photos I selected one part of the photo using the magnetic selection tool. Then, I turned on the Quick Mask Mode to make sure all of the parts of the photo were selected. Then I inverted my selection and made the rest of the photo black and white. While in black and white mode I just adjusted the reds and yellows a little bit to bring out the shadows. My favorite is definitely the first one.
