Yellow flower: 05-09-09; 1pm; Rexburg;Sony 
                         Original

On this picture I used an adjustment layer and
a mask. I used accented edges for a brush stroke
and worked with contrast, and vibrance for the
adjustment layers. There are so many things
you can do in photoshop!

                           Original 

On this picture I used an adjustment layer to 

turn the photo black and white.  I then went

back with a mask and brought back the yellow 

flowers.

On this picture I used contrast, brightness, and
levels to fix this photo up. Then I went back and
brought back the original blue sky.

AEB Image

I used the Ultra-contrast on this final picture.  It took me forever to figure out the AEB setting on the camera but I finally got it to work.  It was amazing how the Dynamic Photo program was able to take all thre images and blend them into one beautiful picture.  I loved looking at all the different effects you could add to the image.  Fun stuff!

Turtle Edited: Complete cutout with quick selection tool and refined edges

Making cutouts in Photoshop wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Using the quick selection tool allows you to cutout the image rather nicely. I found that it is important to be careful and precise on the detailed edges. Using the refine edge tool makes a world of difference on the image.

RED is powerful, a little bit of red can go a long way. Red is used to grab attention, it denotes happiness, and prosperity. I used red for the powerful color that it is. Red seems to stand out from all other colors. I haven't done any editing on the photos I mostly tried shots close up with different angles.
