Project Three: Rewriting History, Last editing assignment

Project 3: In class editing, Re-Writing History




For your next project you will be editing an existing photograph/image and placing yourself into the existing shot. You will need to find a famous or recognizable shot on Google Images and (must be at least 500x500 pixel size) place yourself into it. You must place at least your face, but you can use your entire body. Your grade for this project will be based on the quality of your editing not on your ideas (though cleverness does indeed count). This is a chance for you to show me your Photoshopping and editing skills.


Start by looking for the image you want to use. Strategize - If it's your face you're inserting, you want an image that has the same direction and hopefully lighting as your image... Any image source of your face will work, (personal hotos, social media, etc.) just remember that quality counts - If it's a bad image to begin with, it will probably still be a bad image, though there are plenty of things we can do to work around that and/or fix it.

Submission, 4th Period 2016:

FIVE THINGS TO DO TO EVERY, EVERY, EVERY PHOTOGRAPH/IMAGE

There are FIVE steps that we can do to EVERY image to get the "Best Of" version. Whether you edit it beyond these five steps is up to you, but these are the minimum steps we want to do to every image. So without further ado:

1. Resize
2. Unsharp Mask
3. Brightness/Contrast
4. Hue/Saturation
5. Evaluate

We will do this steps from now until the end of the tri to every image. What you do beyond that will be up to you, the parameters of the assignments, and your knowledge of the software.

Submission, Project One:

Image Cues- Collage

Located in your three page handout, you can also find the instructions and examples here.  Get started, have some fun with it, and instead of cutting images out of magazines, you can use Photoshop and your tools to resize and collage the images.  Good luck!

Welcome Third Trimester!

As we start learning our lab, we will be using our research notebooks with the class website to learn how to use our software! Finish up the Photoshop Tools worksheet and the definitions, we will make sure that as a class we all have them well defined so that as a class we can speak the same language and know what we are doing.

Next up is Project One: Integrated Images, but before we get there, we need to do some research into the world of digital photography.

We will be talking about Ethics and Law. In Digital Photography and with our image manipulation software, just like with spiderman, with great power, comes great responsibility! Read through the paper and think about the questions being asked: then, respond on the one page paper with the lines that follow. You can respond as paragraphs or as bullet points to each question, but give me your honest opinion and let's see what we think!

I am glad you are all here and excited to learn how to begin manipulating and creating images. We will start at the beginning with Photoshop CC and learn how to create new files, open and save, layers, unsharp mask, and much more - the basics of photoshop. You will use the images below for the first assignment. The exact parameters of the assignment will follow. Good luck!

Combining Images, Project #1

We will start at the beginning with Photoshop CS5 and learn how to create new files, open and save, layers, unsharp mask, and much more - the basics of photoshop. You will use the images below for the first assignment. The exact parameters of the assignment will follow. Good luck!

For 100% completion, you need to:
Create a 10" x 8" template at 180 resolution.
Include THREE of the objects into an integrated scene.
Change the background to a different background and/or color.
Clone stamp
Change the size and direction

Shadow

These are the minimum requirements, I always encourage you to try to do more!

Additional looks: Filters, Liquify, color splash, gaussian blur, color change.
