ENTRY #4 (9/24/18)

Today I completed my photo restoration project. I liked using the stamp tool because it was simple and straight forward. It made it easy to fill in the poles and stairs. The spot healing brush was helpful with the faces of the kids or small rips but not with restoring the corners of the photo. I liked doing this project because there was a very satisfying end piece to look at. I felt very accomplished and proud of the end result.

MULTIPLICITY
Today I completed my multiplicity project for my studio media class. I was struggling with my brush tool because no matter what opacity or hardness it was at, the brush wouldn't make a solid, dark line. Instead of one solid stroke I had to go over the image multiple times before it was dark enough to create a mask. I was having issues with creating masks on each layer but once I figured out how to use the brush tool to cut out figures, it was a breeze.  Another thing I learned is the it is a lot easier to cut out the bodies if they are near the camera. I am happy with my finished piece.

ENTERY #2 (9/3/18)

Today I completed my "Forms" assignment on photoshop. I am already getting the hang of how to use the software but I am still figuring out, and learning a lot of things. For an example, I found out how you can change to opacity level on specific layers which makes it easier to erase accurately. I struggled a lot with the ellipse tool when I was trying to create my sphere but eventually got it to work. At first the paintbrush was hard to use for blending but the process got easier as I went and got more confident in my abilities.
