Spots



The top image is what I transformed the bottom image into. The original photo is very old with worn out spots. I used the healing brush to blend the spots, then used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the man & paste him into an army scene. I then used photo filter & gave both the man and the background a tint of orange. I also used the burn tool on the man.

Overexposed





The top eye was over exposed. There was too much light on the subject. To make the image clearer, which is the image directly above the text, I adjusted the exposure & contrast until it became clearer and more vivid.

I transformed anorexic Lindsey Lohan into an obese person. I used the magnetic lasso, liquify tool, and paint bucket tool which made the background grey.
The project I was assigned was to make an older man look younger. I chose Anjelina Jolie's father. I used to burn tool to transform is grey hair into new black hair. I think used the healing brush tool to fix his wrinkles.
In this project I had to transform a fat person into a skinny person. The person I chose was John Travolta from Hairspray. I used the magnetic lasso tool, the liquify tool, and the paint bucket tool which dyed the background a light pink/peach.

During the month of October, I took a trip to Prospect Park. I there photographed things along the way and within the park. For each photo, I cropped out an image that would make great impact. I chose a sunflower, one-way sign, lamp-post, stoplight, etc. For each image, I used a photo filter by going to filter>artistic. I changed the background, the first layer, by using the gradient tool.
The image you see before you is my idea of a great pet. It is part duck, cat, lemur, and chicken. I first took a picture of a cat & cut it out, then pasted it onto a plain white background. I think erased the cat's head and placed on a duck's, while I had cut out from a photograph. Next came the wings, which I cut out and pasted onto the cat's back, but in a new layer. The lemur's tail was last, and was put into it's own layer as well. The smudge tool was used to smooth out rough edges on the wings, head, and lemur tail. To get the cat's body to match the color of the ducks, I went to image>adjustments>variations, and chose a turquoise color. The last step was changing the background to a light orange, which was simply done by using the fill tool.
