Empty Patio

Clone and Stamp

Originally I had edited this vase and moved it to my patio using the layers tool. Today I cloned my vase using the stamp tool. Pretty cool what you can do with photos.

Text Tool

I simply opened my picture and used the test tool to write on my pic. I chose the red to make it pop and chose my font style and size. Quite easy actually. This would be a great tool for those who scrapbook to add text to photos.

No Filters

Filter

I actually used different tools with this and experimented. First I had to crop the photo and cut the people out and get a clean shot of the castle. I used the filter tool to distort the photo by turning on the liquify filter and using a ocean ripple. You would never know it is the same photo. Gives it a contempory look.

Death eaters?

I used the dodge and burn tools to sponge and hand wand the tree to make it appear as though shawdows of "spirits" or other unidenifieable creatures were coming from the ground to feed off of the tree. Not a professional job I'm sure, but with experience anyone could alter photos and have them published in those smutt magazines!

Dusk?

My altered photo of a tree a dusk?

I took this original photo and altered it to make it appear as though I took the shot at dusk rather than at mid-day. I played around with the hue, saturation and lightness and also the color abit. I think it is neat that you can alter a photo to look like a totally different time of day.

I adjusted this photo to make the flames more intense. Fire is actually pretty cool to work with because you can really play around with sharpness and brightness of the flames. I adjusted the color balances of the midtones towards the yellow spectrum and also more green color for added definition.

Ok, I am getting the hang of photoshop. This is so cool, I took a vase that I had photographed with a green dropcloth behind it and moved it to my patio. I used the marquee tool, the crop tool and the eyedropper tool. I had fun once I began to figure things out.
