Photoshop - Fixing Exposure

Before on the left, after on the right. I used a curves layer to brighten up the top layer, then applied a gradient layer mask (top to bottom) on the top layer so that the window didn't look too overexposed.

Photoshop - Playing with shapes and text

Practice with layer masks, cliping masks, free transform, shape tools, brush tools, text tools, shadow effects, and blending modes

Photoshop Class - Day 4

I learned about using non-photographic tools, like shape tools, brush tools, and text tools. I also learned about using blending modes and other effects on photographs to make them match non-photographic content.

Photoshop - Playing with face swapping

Here I played with layer masks, free transform, selection tools, touch up tools, a curves layer, and a color balance layer to pull off a face swap.

The final result looks creepily excited about all the destruction.

Photoshop - Playing with combining photos

I used the align tool to align the content of both photos, then applied a layer mask with selection tools (quick select, rectangle marquee,  and magnetic lasso) to select an exact hole in the top layer. I also used the clone stamp tool to remove the glare from the top of the whiteboard.

Photoshop - Playing with Panoramas

Bear River Panorama after Photoshop Edits

Bear River Panorama after Photoshop automerge

This is actually a combination of 14 different images that Photoshop combined with the automerge tool. If you look closely you can see some places where it looks like it messed up, but overall it did a pretty good job.

The outer edges weren't defined in the outcome of the automerge because the combination of the 14 images didn't naturally yield a perfect rectangle. To fill in the outer edges, I used the patch tool, spot healing tool, and clone stamp tool.

The original photos had the greenery underexposed and the sky overexposed, so I added a curves layer to lighten the darks and darken the lights.

InDesign - Interactive PDF
