Ok, so i got a little behind in my homework schedule and missed the deadline for mini assignment 2 which was due Friday, October 17. Well, it's now Tuesday the 21, but i'm finally getting it up on here. (that's not too bad right?). Anyway, so with this assignment we were to find an image and, again, doctor it up a bit using photoshop, but with some specific guidlines. So, i found a picture of this shoe and this is how i changed it. I first, corrected the levels and made the color a bit better. Then, because the picture was tilted in a way so the bottom of the box didn't appear to run horizontal across the bottom of the screen, i used to ruler tool to correct that. So now the bottom of the box is horizontal with the bottom of the screen. Then, i cropped the image to give us what we see here. After i cropped it, there was some unpleasant black areas in three of the four corners so i tried to correct them using the paint bucket and eye dropper tools. I tried to get the corners to match the color of the table that the shoe is on, but i couldn't quite get it right. So in an effort to make it a little more normal, i used a combination of the dodge and burn tools to lighten and darken around the seams of where i filled in the new color to make it a bit more natural. It still didn't turn out the greatest, but i was definitely giving it a shot. So there ya have it! More practice will hopefully mean better editing to my photos. I really want this to be a skill that i can continue to use in the future. I'm just still frustrated that i'm a slow learner and that these things take a little more time for me than usual.
