Color Correction #3

For these pictures of the Vatican at night, I decided to crop out the unnecessary pieces of the photo first. Then I decided to brighter up some of the colors by giving the Vatican building itself some more saturation and played around with the numbers of the hues and colors to bring out a brighter color within the building itself. Through all the color corrections within the original photo I think there is a more realistic coloring of the building than in the original picture.

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.
