JPEG - Fairly high/decent quality, however it compresses the image size and flattens the image, suitable for saving experiments. 

PHOTOSHOP (PSD) - High quality, large file size, saves and keeps open all layers, this format allows you to keep working on the image. 

TIFF - Very high quality, ideal for saving final/best/important images, won't compress the image at all. 

RAW - Not recommended, high quality, large file size. 

Task 3 - Duplicating

On this session we went out to take two pictures, I took them of Emilie on the bench. After that we had to put them to photoshop and edit it. 

When we put those two pictures to photoshop we had to click on the lasso tool. Then I had to go all around her body with it.

When I finished with the lasso tool I clicked on erase and the clicked on 'Quick mask mode' to see what it looks like and then erase some bits of it. 

 This screen grab shows my progress.

I screen grabbed this to show that I finished with eraser.

Then I moved Emilie from my second picture to the first one and had to fit her perfectly on the first one. 

 Then I blurred the edges of her body so it doesn't look like she was copied and pasted.

This is screen grab of my finished work.

This is the evidence that I saved my picture.

FINAL PHOTOGRAPH

I like my final photograph because I think it looks real, not copied and pasted. But if I did this task again I would choose a different location, and took more picture of Emilie so I would have about 4 Emilie's on this photo with different positions.

Task 2 - Half in colour and half in black and white.

 On this day we had to make a photograph that was half in colour and half in black and white. At first we had to go out and take a picture of something colourful. Then edit it in photoshop. 

This is image that I took and that's how it looks before I edited it.

This screen shot shows that I made a second layer of the same photograph.

Then I had to Go to 'Image', then 'Adjustments' and click on 'Desaturate' so it made the image black and white. 

After that, I clicked on erase tool to make my fishes in colour.

I had to zoom in to see the edges. 

I screen grabbed this to show my progress of making my fish colourful.

This screen grab shows that I nearly finished erasing black and white from a picture. 

Evidence of saving my picture.

FINAL PHOTOGRAPH

Task 1 - Image within a image

In last session we made a 'Picture within a picture'. We had to go out and take two photographs. Then we had to edit them in Photoshop to make one photo. To take those picture we used EOS Cannon 400D.

When I've grabbed my second photo onto the first image(using the move tool) I changed the opacity to 52% (in the layers box) so I could see the billboard and my second photograph just a bit - this allows me to position the image in the right position. 

On this screen grab you can see that I'm trying to put photograph of myself on the billboard and then I had to rotate it to fit on it. 

When I finished with rotation, then I had to zoom in to delete unwanted bits of image. 

 This screen grab shows that I chosen erase tool  to delete picture around the billboard. 

This screen grab is about changing the size of eraser. The size of my erase was 39 and the opacity of it was 100%.  

On this screen grab I'm showing that I'm erasing unwanted bits of picture.

This screen grab proved that I deleted unwanted picture around the billboard.

On this one I changed opacity to 100% too see if there's anything I still need to delete. 

I saved my final photograph as JPEG - this flattens the image but keeps the image at a high quality.

FINAL PHOTOGRAPH

I am not satisfied with this photo because for me it doesn't look real and I should of do a different pose on this billboard picture and perhaps try to look at my self sitting on the floor.

Introduction

For this assignment I've been asked to create one image which is 'fantasy landscape'. This will have to be a fake landscape that doesn't really exist. We will work in Photoshop trough this assignment. Also we will use loads of different photographs, edit them and then put them together to make this fake landscape photograph. We have 7 weeks to finish this assignment and do short tasks, also at the end of it we'll have to know how to use the Photoshop.
Aims of this assignment are:

• Understand how image manipulation techniques are used in the work of others
• Be able to digitise source materials
• Be able to originate work using image manipulation hardware and software 
• Be able to present own design outcomes
