GRA320: Photoshop Manipulations

So after 2 weeks of Photoshop class (Software Training), this is what we've covered; mostly a review of what we looked at last semester.

For this assignment, we had to change the colour of the car from green to red/burgundy using the "Colour Range" option, re-touch the sign post out of the picture to improve the composition, adjust the colour cast on the bus windows, blur the background while keeping the car in focus using layer masks, apply colour corrections to the photo using adjustment layers (non destructive edits) and desaturate the background and vignette the image to help improve the focus on the car.

After

This one is a personal photo of mine, I took it at the Toronto Zoo. This was our first project; pick your best photo and apply all the corrections/skills we learned in semester 2 to make the image even better. Basically the car image followed the same process as this image did. The hardest part of this project was clone stamping in the beak so that it appears infront of the branches, instead of behind them.
