Film Slides Before and After Project

The objective for this first project in Raster Graphics was to fill at least 25 of the empty slide frames and get familiar with the importance of selection, inverse, layer management, canvas size, and the text tool.

The required footer provided exposure to Image size vs Canvas size and how the megabytes of a file changes depending on resolution.

The file of empty slide frames was provided by the instructor. I had the freedom to use my own images or find images to use. Which I found all my images that I used for this project instead of my own personal pictures.

Layer Modes Project

The objective of this project was to explore the features and many styles that can be applied to content on an individual layer from the layer panel. The key components of this assignment require a textured background and a single image with a background.

For the modes project with the flower I had to use different layer modes which changed the texture of the picture and the overall look. I had to change some of the opacity to show it as well. Also for that to work the picture had to have a white background for it to work to show the change and I did that 12 times to show the many options.

For the styles project I had to type up a word I chose cat and choose a color for it. Then for the projects I chose different effects for the word 12 times.

Filters Before and After

The objective for this project was to find a busy picture to show the many different filters in an image. The image had to be horizontal to fit on the canvas for the measurements. The first thing I had to do was to make 24 squares to show the different filters and how it effects just one image. I applied 24 different filter for each square in the single image I used. In each square I wrote the different filter I used.

Key Objectives and Photoshop Tools Used:

Turn "Rulers" on

Acquire images free of copyright restriction

Add image to the new canvas as "pixels"

Scale images in proportion

Create a grid of ruler guides, every 2 inches

Create a label

Duplicate the label using option + drag or copy/paste

Used the rectangle marquee tool

Text tool

Pixel Basics Photo Project

The objective of this project is to scale images in the the canvas size to which it fits. The reason why is because when manufactures make frames it will only fit that size. So the image has to be the same as if it would fit into a frame so it will fit. Also for when printing your picture make sure it is set in RGB not CMYK because the image will only be able to print out in RGB. Most facilities will just reject CMYK.

Key Objectives and Photoshop Tools Used:

Create a new canvas that matches the required image dimensions using the Photo template parameters

Scale the image in proportion to fit the canvas size

Add a text footer to the image that includes the before/after required information

Rectangle tool

Color tool

Copy Write Statement:

All four images were provided by the instructor.

Selection Part 1 Project

The objective for this project is to use the images that were provided by the instructor and take a particular selection of that image. The selection tool has four different ways to do that. The four tools are called pen tool + paths window, object selection, quick selection, and magic wand option. For each image I used the four different tools on four of the different images. To see the many ways you can make a selection on an image. For each tool is different in how you use it and how it works.

Personally I found the quick selection tool to be the easiest for me. The reason why is because you just click for what you are selected on the image. The hardest one to use was the pen tool + path window is because it was just hard to connect and turn the little dots.
