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.
Choose a 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 least 4 of the above.)
Pay particular attention to aesthetics, value (contrast/color balance), vibrance, mood, and clarity of detail. You will be evaluated on:
- Choice of Image/Originality
- Composition/Cropping Choices
- Color Aesthetics
- Contrast/Value
- Complexity of Work/Software Skill
- Clarity/Final Image Resolution /Proper File Format
- Use of PS Filters
- Use of PS Healing Tools
- Blending/Transparency of corrections/healing:
- Finesse/Attention to Detail/Creativity
Before class the day of the critique (even if still in progress!) email me a JPG version of the artwork. After the critique you may resubmit changes to the file for evaluation. As with all Art 109 projects, when you send a file by email be sure your name is somewhere in the file name. Leave a copy of the original photograph and your final PS file (with the layers intact) on your workstation desktop when you are ready to have it graded.
REMEMBER TO WORK LARGE in 200-300 dpi. Tiff format is best.
