Photoshop Evaluation

As this was my first time in using photoshop, this task was very interesting and made me think about how pictures can be adjusted and changed in order to please the viewers needs. This made me wonder when photoshop may be used on a general basis, this could be used on images such as Magazines, brushing up on the image and also movie posters, making them more Gothic and sinister or making it brighter and jubilant for the viewer to see. 


In the first lesson of using photoshop we had been given a photo of a two men hiking in a mountain range, the photo was dark and the task was to brighten the picture using the photoshop tools. With this task we were to use the Feather tool and also refining the colour to make the image brighter. Photoshop made the difference as the colour refining was an essential tool for this image, this was one of the first steps of many for the use of photoshop.


The second task was to layer images on each other as there was one image of a teenage girl and a black background image, the task was to blend both images together leaving you with a merge of the teenage girl and the black background. This was a valuable tool as this helped me understand the different techniques of blending and merging two photos together t make one photo more interesting and attractable.

This task taught me how to use photoshop correctly and also this allowed me to adjust and crop photos to my liking. This  was a very valuable lesson and will be using this program more often.
