My first attempt at using Photoshop...I used one of the preset adjustments and the crop tool. I realized that my MacBook Air is too old to properly run the latest version of Photoshop, so I am planning to use one of the 3rd floor classroom computers in Aquinas sometime this week. I'm only auditing this course, but I would still like to participate as much as possible! Here are my before and after editing shots.

The stairwells in Aquinas makes for a perfect place to shoot for this assignment. I do like how you have framed the shot, keeping vertical and horizontal lines parallel to the edges of the frame. I have been saying a few times that the newer iPhones are doing much of the basic editing work for us. The top, original image is well balanced tonally and shows good detail in both the highlights and shadows. The reason is that the phone takes multiple pictures and compines the best parts (that is exposures) into one balanced image. Much of the class work in the past was to create this same quality with a standard camera, digital or analog by using feathered selections to lighten and darken select areas to bring the image to the same balance.
ReplyDeleteYour edit pushed the balanced photo to a more expressionistic place. In the past I may have discouraged that in an effort to get students to edit for high quality and not special effects. But if iPhone pictures are already edited well, then I suppose this is the next stage.
AH 315 has good computers and all have Photoshop loaded on. Patrick in ITS tell me that they will be moving the even better computers in the basement of the library to 315 for my classes to use for spring semester!
