Questions

Question One: What are the three types edits that we have learned and in what order did we complete these edits for the Frame within a Frame project? Why do we edit photographs in this order?

Levels/Curves, photo filter and then Masking

Levels/curves helps us balance the photos' light balance before we edit the photos balance

Photo filter corrects the white balance

masking allows us to correct exposure in areas of the photo and also allows us to create a focus point using a frame

Question Two: What are the “quick keys” for: Move Tool, Crop Tool, Brush Tool, Text Tool, and Mask Mode. We did not go over the “quick keys” for Mask Mode in class, find the answer through your own research.

Move tool (V)

Crop tool (C)

Brush tool (B)

Text tool (T)

Mask mood (Q)

Question Three: What are the “short-cuts” for Select-All, Inverse-Selection and Deselect-Selection. (Ctrl + ?, if you work on a PC, or Command + ?, if you work on a Mac.)

Select all; Ctrl shift

Inverse selection; Ctrl Shift I

Deselect selection; Ctrl + D

Question Four: Write all the steps necessary to create vignetting. Do not forget to write what Brush Mode we use, and what percentage of opacity, hardness and flow we use to paint the mask.

• You need to select the brush tool (B) and adjust the size of the masking tool the circle should be equal on both sides for example;

You then click the cookie button on the bottom of the layers tool and click curves
Then add then adjust the curve that best advances the photo.


Question Five: When you open a JPEG in Photoshop, how many layers do you start with, and what are they / is it called?
JPEG images should only have one layer, because they need to be flattened for printing.

Question Six: Which of these buttons on your Layers palette do you press to make a new edit layer (curves, levels, color balance, etc.)? Which of these buttons do you use to delete a layer?

The trash can icon, to delete the layer you drag the action to the trash can and automatically the computer erases the action.

Question Seven: How do you “turn off” a layer / make it invisible?

Beside the action in the case background there is an eye, this allows you to see what affect the action has on the image and if you do no longer wish to use this action you simply drag it to the trash can.

Question Eight (Extra Credit): Find a poorly Photoshopped image on the web a la the NYT article we read in class. Post it to your blog, and explain what went wrong.

Short Story

• The first thing i noticed when looking at this photo was the dark liquid surrounding the subject, this being reflective automatically draws you attention and makes you look for possible meaning's behind the photo!.
• I think in this photo the lady is alive but she experiencing pain of some kind, she looks oblivious to her surroundings and lost in thought. When i read the story behind the title Ophelia it would make sense that she is feelings this thought and i feels thats why this emotion is being captured and displayed.
• This photo was taken during the day and either early morning or sunset, they way the light is coming through the windows it looks as if the sun in low in the sky.
• This photos background settings are a typical 80's sort of house, however the mood the settings gives is a sense of cold and empty there is a lot going on in this photo but it doesn't seem as if they interact together to give a warm feeling.
• There is a housecoat over the staircase banister and slippers on two separate stairs, this implies that the subject took them of whilst still walking instead of taken them of and putting them in certain area, there is also a brown object at the back of the stairs that I think is a cabinet.
• The subject is not wearing shoes but the slippers on the stairs implies that she was at one point.
• Ophelia is a fictional character in the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. She is a young noblewoman of Denmark, the daughter of Polonius, sister of Laertes, and sweetheart of Prince Hamlet. The character commits suicide in the novel, she is said to have climbed up a tree and the branch broke and she feel into a broke and she drowned.

imagine life as a housewife, mummy, wife, homemaker, under-appreciated human being...whatever you want to call it. The family loves you, no doubt about it, but do they really understand what life is like for you?You cook, you clean, you clean some more, you manage temper-tantrums from a two-year old, you clean up poop from a diaper, three rabbit cages, one cat box and still somehow manage to put a brave face on whenever your out in public at one of your many schedueled playdates, PTA meetings and other socail events. Rebecca Marsh was your typical housewife on sunnyhill lane with the 3 kids,and the one perfect husband with that all important paycheck, her life was endless parade of dinner dancses,household tasks, important playdates, dance lessons and luncheons; she never had that time to herself so the one day when beth was at dance, lucas was at swim club, lucia was at a playdate with the martins and her husband was away on his fourth buisness trip this month, Rebecca has that all important time she desired so much that she almost doesn't know what to do with herself, after reading for a while she decides to run a hot bath and finally send her husband that all important message thats shes drowning in chores and all she needed was for him to save her from this false shallow life she leads!
