Photoshop Induction 2

Adding colour

Task and Aims

Progressing from last weeks introductory session, today we focused on adding colour to the image we had scanned in to eventually produce five treatments.

Intentions

To learn about different methods of using colour, and gain some basic principles of application before producing my five finished images.

There are many selection processes which can be used to add colour for example, polygonal selection, lasso selection and magic wand selection. It is also possible to increase and decrease the hardness and opacity of brushes being used, as well as the opacity of each layer.

Work Made

Evaluation of Outcomes

Through experimentation, I produced these three images, using different selection tools, methods and responses to colour. I do need a lot more practise using photoshop because I still feel like I am predominantly experimenting at the moment, not producing the most professional results, and also I am spending quite a long time editing each image. However with time and practise this will improve. I also need to get into the habit of screen shooting the process in which I edit each image!
