PANORAMA PHOTO MONTAGE



What Worked well?
Taking the pictures
What was the most challenging?
Trying to get the pictures to match up like a puzzle
What might you try to do differently next time?
Take A LOT more pictures
What tools did you use and how?
I really only used the pictures, and shifted them slightly
What are some ways you can use what you learned in the future; beyond the classroom?
I can spice up my photo taking

Photo retouching

Before (original)                                           After (retouch)


Before (original)                                           After (retouch)




What worked well?
Figuring out how all of the necessary tools had to be used

What was the most challenging?
It's between repainting the eye in the first one picture, and reattaching the left ponytail in the second picture

What might you do differently next time?
I'll try to spend an equal amount of time on both the pictures, rather than spending more time on one than the other.

What tools did you use and how?
I used the Spot healing tool to cover up tears, bends and rips, the healing brush tool to blend the back, and make the colours look the same, and the clone stamp tool to carry over some colours and bits of the picture 

What are some ways you can use what you learned in the future; beyond the classroom?
If I ever get a computer or laptop that can download Photoshop, I'll use it to repair old pictures of my parents, and even older pictures of their pair, so that they'll look as good as new, and make everyone feel nostalgic

TEXTURE 





What worked well?
Finding all the places I needed for my photo
What was the most challenging
Finding texture, because every texture photo I took looked flat
What might you do differently next time?
Next time I might try to take more pictures of something that could be used as picture on the roll
What tools did you use, and why?
I used a camera (obviously) I used the things in the image adjustment parts of Photoshop
What are some way you can use what you learned in the future; beyond the classroom?
If I ever pursue a career in photography, I can use there techniques to broaden my photos
