PRACTICE 2 INSTRUCTIONS
Due Thursday 1/17, by end of class
Using Adobe Bridge, open the photo in “camera raw.” Crop (and enhance) the photo at least 3 ways to create a “new” image for each version that “tells a different story.” In each instance do appropriate sharpening, contrast, and color changes to improve/change the resulting image.
You may also wish to open the Image (in Photoshop) and apply appropriate filters like the UNSHARP MASK, ACCENTED EDGES or PAINT DABS to disguise any resolution issues. Save all 3 photos as tiffs (resampling if needed) and drop them in your folder (identified by your name) in the drop box on the #8 server (art109-08/art's Public Folder/Student Drop Box) along with a copy of the original.
This exercise will be evaluated on the following criteria:
• Choice of Photo
• Composition(s)/Storytelling
• Attention to Detail
• Attention to Clarity
• Enhancement(s)
