Color Correction #2


For this color correction, I took the original photo which was taken on the balcony of a restaurant during dinner time and I just changed the hues and took the color balance and made it seem as if the sun was coming up not going down. The color changes were more of a dawn impact instead of a more night time picture.

Color Correction #1


For this photo, it was taken in Italy during the summer and I didn't realize how the contrast was so low until I started messing around with all the contrast and saturations. The after photo doesn't necessarily look like a real-life photo, but I was just trying to become aware of all the types of photo editing and color correction tools that there were. I also added black toning to the sky so that there were more of a darker shadow and there were some color minimizing and maximizing to get to the end result.

Composition #2


For my second composition I decided to use the lasso tool and take a selection of a beach in Mexico and paste it into a picture of my friends.

Composition #1: Lined Realistic

For this particular picture, I chose to use the lasso tool and take 2 gondolas from a separate picture and add them onto the background of the original picture. Then I corrected the coloring of the pasted selected areas in order to try to match the coloring of the foreground and backgrounds. Then I used the Rule of Thirds and used those lines to place my copied images into the background.

Comosite Photo #4-Landscape/Filter

For this extra image, I had taken this picture in Italy and I messed around with various filters and the percentages and scales within the filters. I really loved this landscape picture and how I was able to bring out the wonderful colors and all the pixels through changing the filters and the color editing.

Composite Picture #3-Realistic Image/Filter

For this image I played with the filters gallery and kept making changed until I changed the background and the type of photo. I also used the lasso tool and added in the 2 gondolas in the picture and pasted them through layers onto this image.

Composite Picture #2-Free style

In this composite picture, I decided to take a piece of one picture and insert it into another picture. When I went to Italy over the summer I took a picture of the Spanish steps, which is the background of this image. Next I took a picture of a replica of the famous "David" statue and I used the lasso tool numerous times and very intricate details to paste the David onto the Spanish steps.
