My Daily Life in Photographs

In my computer graphics class we have been working with the program Photoshop. This program is difficult but fun at the same time. Our class was assigned groups and each group had to demo a certain tool in Photoshop. The tools we learned ranged from using selection tools to retouching photos. Learning all these new tools was difficult to me. Especially since I could not even figure out where half of the tools were or how to drag a photo onto another photo. For those of you who are experts at Photoshop, I give you thumbs up! When we started using Photoshop, the class was given the assignment to do a collage of pictures that shows a day in the life of a mercy student. Each person did their own collage and had to use five different tools in Photoshop on the pictures.
On my collage, I used the tools color balance, crop, spot healing tool, levels, and red eye. When I used the color balance, I chose the sky part of the pictures and changed the colors of the sky. When I used the tool crop, I cropped out parts of the picture I did not need to make more space for other pictures on my collage. The spot healing tool was for spots on the faces of people in the pictures. I eliminated those spots in the picture to make the person look presentable. When I used the levels tool, I used it also on the sky part of my pictures to change the darkness, lightness, and midtones of the picture. This changes the pictures color drastically. Lastly, I used the red eye tool on a few people in my pictures to make the people look less devilish.
