Week #8 Photoshop Photo #2

These are pictures I took at my friend's wedding on the 4th of July. The photo on the left is the original and the photo on the right is the altered photo. I created it so it appears dark in the top left and bottom right corner and the light is shining down from behind them. I love the way it came out. I went to the filter tab, then render, then lighting effects and then adjusted it to where I liked it.

Week #8 Photoshop Photo #1

On Thursday, we were on our way home from Barre from my daughters soccer game when all the severe storms were developing. In between Stowe and Morrisville the sky's became very scary looking and of course I whipped out my camera and started shooting. The photo on the left is the original photo I snapped while the photo on the right is the one I "fixed". The original photo did not depict the darkenss that was present with these storms, so I thought about where the light was coming from which was behind me and then altered the photo to represent that. First I cropped the photo to get rid of the mirror and the road. Then I made the photo darker and made it a little lighter in the top left corner to depict where the light was coming from. I love the new "fixed" photo. I think it is very pretty.

Week #7 Photomosaic

I downloaded the photomosaic program and decided to create my own. I took the photo of my son on the swing at the beach and used it to do the mosaic. It is really neat how the program sorts the tile colors to make them all create a totally different picture. It is amazing technology.

Olivia original re-post

I realized while looking at my blog that I posted the wrong original to the picture I "fixed" of Olivia. But it is the same idea, the coloring was really bad and so I fixed it. If you notice in my first post the "fixed" photo Olivia's hand is down and in the original I posted(the wrong one) both of her hands are on the toothbrush. Here is the correct original with her hand down and lousy coloring.

Week #7 Photoshop

I found this additional photo that I wanted to adjust in Photoshop because of the coloring. The photo on the right is the original and the photo on the left is the "fixed" photo. The color is much better.

Summer Days

These are some photo's of the fun we have been having this past week. Jacob had a play date with Tyler. Our fmaily and the Vanat's headed to the beach Friday afternoon since we finally had beach weather and Jacob and my cousin's baby Olivia played in Jacob's pool Saturday before the rain came. Here's to more summer days!!!

Week #7 Photoshop Photo #2

Here I took this photo of my mom and Charlie from the wedding and cropped it. I then changed the saturation and the individual color saturations as well as the vibrance and exposure of the photo. The photo on the right is the "fixed" photo, while the one on the left is the original.

Ted, Margie, Bob & Charlie

I took this photo at the wedding I went to on July 4th. It was actually taken in the tent that the wedding reception was held in but I didn't like the background so I moved the four friends to a new background with tree's.

Week #7 Photoshop Photo #1

I chose to adjust this picture in photoshop because I love this picture of my son Jacob and our cat Kasey, but it was just too bright. I have others but this was the only photo where you could see all of his face and all of Kasey's face. I created adjustment layers and then altered the saturation, colors and hue and the exposure. It made a huge difference and as you can see the top photo is more pleasant than the original bottom photo. The only problem I see with the new photo is that Jacob's sleeve seems really bright white and I couldn't figure out how to fix that.
