Photoshop Tutorials

Reflection

      In the first photograph, I altered the image by using stamps that appealed me.  I chose the colors of the stamps because they were all along the lines of my favorite colors.  Also, the colors I chose I found in the colors of my shirt and the colors of my hair.  I enjoyed using the brushes in Photoshop.  I was fascinated  by the amount of different brush heads that the program had to offer.  I believe that in the future I won't use as many brushes in one image.  I like the idea of slightly enhancing the picture but not to the point where the viewer can tell the image was enhanced, like this photograph.
      In the second photograph, I used the softening tool.  This tool is used to blend in blemishes with the rest of the model's skin and give the picture an overall soft/airbrushed look.  I really liked learning how to use this tool because I believe it is one of the most useful tools Photoshop has.  Despite how great the final product looks, the process getting there is slightly tedious and time consuming.  I don't mind this process but it definitely isn't simple.  I'll need to practice more with softening images in order to remember all the steps of the process.
