Intro To Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is a graphic and picture editing tool. It enables the user to alter, manipulate and create images either from existing photos or found images.

what we used:

Marquee Tool - cuts box shapes around a part of the image
Clone stamp tool - makes a perfect copy of a highlighted part of the image
the burn tool - allows us to cause a part of a photo to be darker
lasso tool - allows us to gut out more accurately than the marquee tool
smudge tool - allows us to blur images together
blur tool - allows us to make the edges less sharp
the dodge tool - allows us to make some parts of a picture lighter
the sponge tool - allows us to saturate and desaturate images

when you use photoshop every time you do anything to a photo you create a new layer and this causes alot of problem as then you have to return to the main background layer on the right of the screen before editing again.
the higher the number of the layer/the newer the layer the further forward the section of image will be in the foreground.
the uses of photoshop are things such as: airbrushing photos as models and editing film posters and improving general photos. we then went out to make our own posters and the way that I did this was to go out and take a series of photos to use. the first photo that I took was of a portrait picture of a lamp post. then I got someone to stand up against a wall on their toes with their head facing down to give the illusion that they were being hung by their neck. then I got another picture of someone standing outside a wooden building in the woods with his hood up so that his face was obstructed so that we feel seperated by him due to the way in which we cant see his face. I then used the lasso tool to cut out the lampost and then cut out the body I then downloaded a picture of a nouse and a rope and put it on the lamp post then i cut around her face with the lasso tool to move it forward in a layer so that the nouse looked like it was around her neck, then I added the background picture of the shed in the woods and then used the burn tool to give it a darkened effect and then used the smudge tool to give it a warped effect. then I used the color range anf changed the green leaves to red to add a sinister feeling. and added a title on the side of the lamp post so that it follows the line down.

Basic stills and camera work

Composition:

Photography brings a visual language that is universal in understanding. We must then understand its vocabulary which consists of shapes, textures, patterns, lines, colours, shade of light to dark and sharp to blurry images. Just as we must learn to arrange words in a coherent order in order to make sense when we write or speak, so too must we put visual elements together in an organized manner if our photographs are to convey their meaning clearly and vividly.

Composition means arrangement: the orderly putting together of parts to make a unified whole; composition through a personal, intuitive act. However, there are basic principles that govern the way visual elements behave and interact when you combine them inside the four borders of a photograph. Once we have sharpened our vision and grasped these basic ideas of principles, then we will have the potential for making our photographs more exciting and effective than ever before.
the rule of thirds is an important rule of photography which assists the photographer to take his photo in the way he wants it to be veiwed and so he will use the rule of thirds which consists of splitting your page into threes vertically and horisontally and then where the lines cross will be the main focus points of the photo and so the photographer should place the important parts of the photo in these intersect points and this helps to make the photo balanced.
