Stop motion video




This is my stop motion video. I added a cartoon effect to make the video more interesting.

Test












In order to change the color of the sky, I started by duplicating the background layers. Then I selected only the sky using the magnetic lasso tool. Once only the sky was selected I went into layers and played around with the hue and saturation until I got the sky to be green.

To place the woman onto the panorama, I had to first modify the image size so she would be an appropriate size to be placed onto the panorama. I then selected only the woman by using the magnetic lasso tool while leaving out the white background. Following my selection, I used the move tool to drag the selected woman onto the panorama.

Photoshop Assessment



I chose this photo for my photoshop assessment as it is one of my favorite photos that I have edited using photoshop. Firstly, I adjusted the levels and curves. Then, I used the clone stamp in order to fix little imperfections throughout the photo. Following the clone stamp, I decided I wanted to change Hannah's eye color to red. In order to do so, I used the magnetic lasso tool to select her eyes. Lastly, I whitened her teeth. Once again, I used the magnetic lasso tool to select her teeth. There are many different selection tools but the one I used for this photo and prefer to use is the magnetic lasso tool!

My Favorite Photo


This photo has got to be my favorite photo. I really like it because I have never done a photo with this type of effect before. I like how you see the water droplet in action. Also, the materials used in this photo are original/unique. 

Rule of thirds


This photo is evidently of a mac desktop computer. It follows the rules of thirds. I also edited this photo so it could have a nice effect as the original was dull and quite boring.

Planet Panorama


This is my planet panorama. The first step was to take a 360˚ panorama. The 360˚ panorama consisted of 12 photos. Just like the 180˚ panorama, I had to make sure the photos overlapped by 25%. Once the photos were downloaded onto photoshop elements, I used the photo-merge panorama tool once again. I then had to crop my panorama as the "fill in the edges" tool did not function. Once that was complete, I had to make my panorama into a square by making the width of the photo the same measurements as the height. The following step was to rotate it 180˚ and then use the polar coordinates tool. The final step was to use the healing brush and clone stamp to fix up the photo.


This is my 360˚ Panorama.

180˚ Panorama


This 180˚ panorama was taken outside the main entrance of Dawson College. I took 8 photos starting from left to right. Each photo had to overlap each other by 25%. Once the pictures were taken I opened them up into photoshop elements. I then used the photo-merge panorama tool to allow all the pictures to bond together and create a 180˚ panorama. Since the "fill in the edges" tool did not work, I had to crop my panorama. The last step was to fix the photo using clone stamp and healing brush.


This was another 180˚ that I created. The same steps were used as the previous panorama.
