Self-Evaluation

Self Evaluation:

Throughout this project it was difficult for me to narrow down the photos to choose just six images from my two-week trip to Italy to edit. All of the photos I took had different meanings and also there were little aspects of each picture that I would have changed. While editing and color correcting all of these photos I would make copies of the original photo and go back and forth to the original and restart the edits I had already made. There were various things I wanted to show with my corrected photos and some of the edited versions weren’t coming out as I envisioned them, so I would backtrack to the copy of the original and start over.

            I wish I had a little more experience with some more technical aspects of color corrections and photo editing because there were some things in some of the edited photos that I wish went differently, but I wasn’t able to correct them myself. Whether it was a little bit of over saturation in some parts of the photos, or some hazy pieces of the photos. Overall I am very happy with the outcome of the photos because it doesn’t necessarily put a real-life spin on these photos but a more dramatic color vibrant spin on them. When I was visiting Italy I saw colors that I never saw before and the colors I was seeing weren’t necessarily things I have never seen in person but the way the colors popped within the landscape of the country was incredible and that is exactly what I wanted to show in my project.

            I definitely need some more experience within Photoshop, but I really did try my best to make the pictures look as I envisioned them and spent enough time on each picture that if I wasn’t happy with the outcome I immediately restarted the project. Also I color corrected and edited about 10 photos and then narrowed it down to 10 and choosing which photos to keep was also another hard decision with my vision.
