Photoshop and Layers

To get the photograph , I used images from the web to update the living room. I changed it from a mirror to a photo of a wave. I gave the candles flames, put in a dog, and added a rug.



















To get the photograph on the right, I played with the marquee, magnetic lasso, curves, and saturation.

Playing with Photoshop

Light - Soft Light - Saturation

The first photograph is the original. The 2nd and the third I played with light and soft light and finally saturation. The middle shot has a low opacity to the light, with a high opacity of the soft light and the last shot is the opposite. Saturation was upped on each one, although the middle more than the last.

Levels - Brightness/Contrast - Color Dodge/Burn

The first photograph is the original. The second and the third photographs, I played with the levels. I pulled in the black and the white and where the gray was just a little bit on the middle shot and really exaggerated it on the third shot. The brightness was lowered a little in the 2nd and even more so on the third, while the contrast was upped on the 2nd and even more on the third. Same with the color dodge/burn. The middle one was just slightly edited with those two, while the third was exaggerated.

Curves - Color Balance - Saturation

The first of these three is the original. The second and third photographs I played with the curves on each color, R,G,B and then as a whole RGB. With the color balance I pulled it more towards one color or another. Finally with saturation, on one I lowered the saturation and the other I upped it.

Automatic vs. Manual

Collage of Options

Automatic

Manual Settings

I chose the manual shot that I did because I liked the slightly warmer color that I got. While I tried to get all of the shots from the same viewpoint, they did vary just a little bit. Composition wise this was not my favorite, but since the assignment was about manual settings, this is it. I like how vibrant and white the fence is and how much the pink flower pops out.

Exposure - 1/400
Aperture - f/4.0
