Week 5: Edits

Color Match



1. Window: 5.14.11; Rexburg, Idaho; f4.5; 1/80; Canon Rebel T2i; Manual
2. Pane: 5.14.11; Rexburg, Idaho; f5.6; 1/160; Canon Rebel T2i; Manual

For these images I used color match in Photoshop. These ability allows the matching of two different images so they appear to be taken in about the same lighting. I chose these two images because the lighting was very different. One was taken inside, one outside. It worked well to bring some color to the window and give the illusions that the images were taken in similar lighting situations.

Color Replace

1. Purple: 5.14.11; Rexburg, Idaho; f5; 1/60; Canon Rebel T2i; Manual

For this image I used Color Replace in Photoshop. First I used the magnet selection tool to select the dress. In order to address all the shades of her pink dress, I used the eye drop tool to select different shades. I then changed both the hue and saturation to get this purple color.

Portrait Enhancements


1. Jesse: 5.19.11; Rexburg, Idaho; f4.5; 1/100; Canon Rebel T2i; Manual

Its hard to see enhancements unless you pay close attention. I smoothed our Jesse's skin with the brush tool and painted in different shades of his skin color using a very feathered and low-flow brush. I also replaced his natural eye color with a blue-ish color. Finally I selected his teeth, used a levels adjustment layer and decreased all the saturation of the yellow hues. His teeth were already white, but this technique made him look flawless.
