Photoshop Lab

Opened Photoshop CS6


"What can we do to make this image better?"

Play around and select different parts of the image (Magic Wond) and mess with Photoshop! (Colors, Levels, etc)

Architecture - did you know that the Mass Comm Building is leaning forward? So in Photoshop, we can correct (skew) it and fix the perspective so the building is standing straight.

**Make sure one of our three shots is at Dusk**

Picture Review

After a long delay, we copied all our pictures to his computer and began to view them in-class.

Some comments from pictures:

- I like looking at these kinds of lines and shapes

- lines, lines, lines

Personal Aside: [but I'm not convinced...it's architecture! Not my work!]

- (Dragging Mids in Photoshop) "I'm making it what it isn't, and I don't want to do that"

- Sometimes color is so distracting (the Game Room image)

- Look for things like timing your image.  There is a biker that could have made the photo 
100% better if he was at the sweet spot on the image.

- "darken densities and bring the blacks out"

- "It almost makes you ask more questions"

- (stairwell) almost looks like an abstract photo

- "This had its own flavor to it"

- "You can almost feel the mud in that picture!"

- "I could be be right in that hammock with him--well not with him"

- Rim Light on Chris playing Uke. "very very nice" "very professional image right there"










Then we looked at some of his images.

** Take 3 Pictures **
Concentrate on Mass Comm Student Life (and photo building)
