Assignment #3: Image Editing Assignment

Image #1: city_1.jpeg

I slightly changed the color saturation, and I used heavy Exposure correction. I used Curves, Ortonish, very subtle Neon, and Polaroid. In this picture I tried to use the effects to make a normally bright picture look dark and bleak. I tried to focus the what little light there is around the sun, darkening its surroundings to put more emphasis. And I made it blue because it's normally a depressing color, it also makes the image feel cold which goes hand in hand with darkness. I liked this website mostly for the color correction technology, but not so much for the effects they had. I feel as though other websites have more to offer.

The effects I used on this picture were Cartoonizer, Rainbow (Difference), and Light Contrast. I will have to admit that I was mostly just messing around with this image. Though i do like the way it turned out, the rainbow effect is really neat! I really liked the effects this website had, there was a lot I had at my disposal. I certainly will use this website again when I need random effects.

Which one looks more real?

The effects I used on this image were Burn, Highlight, Sharpen. I am proud of how this image turned out. I tried to make the picture look more like it was at sunset, or sunrise, so I put more emphasis in the background lighting and the sky light. I also, in contrast, made the foreground darker; but only slightly. Then I just started to mess around with the editing software; I "melted" the snow on the branches and other areas using Burn. I really love Photoshop and I thought that this software was really good for realistic editing. Though I am disappointed for the lack of variety in the editing options. 

Assignment #2: Fun Image Websites

 

Example #1

This first image I made in Hairmixer. I thought it was an interesting site because of how you could swap the faces of people and celebrities. Though they didn't really have a great amount of options, in my opinion, I did think it was cool how you could take a picture from off the internet, or upload your own.

Example #2

This image was made from FunPhotoBox. I thought it was a great website mostly because of the great amount of effects you can use. Here we have the Joker being serious so I thought it would be funny to have him holding a card that reflected otherwise, to contrast his disposition (The card is the place where the image goes, and I chose a clown.)

Example #3

This image was created from Photofunia. I liked this website because of the great face recognition software and the seemless blending of face and body. Though I didn't really like any of their selections in particular, but I was able to find a few. In this picture you can see me as a Jedi, though I am creepily hunched over.

Assignment #1: Three of My Favorite Websites

http://www.youtube.com/

This is a site you are probably already aware of, but in case you don't it is a website where you can post videos of any and all things. Most of my time on the computer is probably spent watching Youtube videos and listening to music from random artists. There are always new things to see on youtube, and it's always fun to find a hilarious video to show to my friends.

http://www.netflix.com/

This is a website where you must pay a monthly subscription fee to be able to watch a plethora of movies and television shows. I go to this site often when I am bored, or when I haven't seen a movie or series I wanted to watch before. I really like it because there are so many movies and series in its library that you could spend days watching movies and television shows.

http://www.steampowered.com/

While technically not a website, it is still a favorite of mine. The website is actually just a place where you download a program which let's you purchase many different types of video games. The program/website itself is more of a gaming platform, but I enjoy video games to a great extent! So I pretty much just use this website for gaming.
