Repair/Improve a damaged or inferior photograph...
This is an assignment in the use of the global adjustment features of Adobe Bridge plus healing tools and local adjustments in Photoshop. In this assignment you are primarily evaluated on your understanding of value (lighting/contrast/balance), photo perfection, and realism.
Choose a BLACK & WHITE photo of your own that needs repair or significant improvement. Your finished photo should show several significant enhancements from the original. Appropriate enhancements include:
• Adding detail to an area blown-out in the original • Simplifying or dramatizing a light source
• Noticeably adjusting all-over or area contrast, color & value
• Masking, burning, dodging areas to fix blemishes, scratches, tears, & stains
• Improving skin tone
• Diffusing or softening image for aesthetic reasons
• Adding clarity, sharpening, or improving resolution
• Straightening a horizon line
• Purposefully canting an image (angling) for dramatic effect
• Reducing noise
• Retouching a portrait for aesthetic reasons
• Converting from color to Black/White or Duotone
• Cropping and enhancing a detail to create a new photo
• Significantly adjusting saturation, vibrancy, luminance, or gain
(I would expect to see at minimum 5 of the above enhancements.)
Pay particular attention to aesthetics, value, vibrance, clarity, and detail. You will be evaluated on:
- Choice of Image/Realistic Objectives
- Composition/Framing/Editing
- Focal Point Aesthetics
- Contrast/Value
- Complexity of Work/Software Skill
- Clarity/Final Resolution
- Adjustments/Photo Perfection
- Use of PS Healing Tools
- Blending/Transparency of corrections
- Finess/Detail
As with all Art 109 projects, when you name an assignment file be sure your name/my name/the project/semester are included in the file name. If your name is not in the file, it will be rejected.
