Assignment #1



I didn't take this picture, but I like it so I decided to use it for my assignment. Before, the picture was dark and it didn't look all that exciting, so I changed it to look brighter and more exciting to look at. I made six changes to the picture:

1. I changed the Levels. I wanted to make the picture look brighter and easier to see.
2. I used the Color Correction to change the tones of the shadows, highlights and midtones.
3. I sharpened the edges.
4. I used the Dodge and Burn tool, to darken some of the shadows, and light up other areas.
5. I used the Clone Tool to take out some things I didn't want in the picture.
6. I cropped it to make it look more centered.

Its a good Picture, good Job.

In response to your Question about bubbles, I went into the special effects brush set, and chose the one that looks kinda glittery, and changed the brush presets, like scattering, size and opacity. And Finally I dodged the center of each bubble tpo make them look rounded. ^_^

If your still confused feel free to ask me anytime in class.
