Chubby Monkey

Each day we do retouching, I feel like I can actually do it. I am very pleased with the outcome. The project was very easy. Getting rid of the text and arrows was REALLY annoying. I wasn't able to put the shadows on her stomach. The only thing I'm not completely happy about is the color of her jeans.

Woah.

Before:

After:

This was fairly easy. I didn't do any drastic changes. I used the same tools that I learned on the first day of the unit. I am very comfortable with retouching photos now, unlike the first day of the unit.

Jupiter!

Retouching the photo today was ten times easier than yesterday. Yesterday, nothing was going right. Today, however, went semi-kinda-perfect. I'm actually happy with the out come. I used the same techniques as yesterday. I didn't use the dodge tool as much and I also changed the color of her lips.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

I absolutely hate the way she came out. I think I made her look worse. This project is a lot harder than it  looks. The hardest part was softening the skin and making it lighter. I would never want to photoshop people as a living.

Elephants

I think that this project was cool. I don't feel that this was successful because I can't decide on a final outcome. I picked a good and creative object to make splats come out of. The hardest thing was deciding on what to do with the water. Overall, the was a good and fun project.

Strawberry!

This was by far the easiest project we have done in this class. It was simple and taught us more about photoshop. Everything went perfect.The only thing I would do differently is, I'd choose a different object.

Color Wheel... Well, sorta.

I absolutely love the outcome on this two photos. Since it looks really cool, I  consider this a success. It really helped that the object I chosed was a light neutral color. If I was able to redo this project, I would choose a different object. The most difficult part was cutting the guitar from the background and dragging it onto the black background. WIth this project, I learned how to change the color of an object and how to use outer glow.

Sufer Dude!

This picture is really cool. I love the coloring in it. I feel this was done "perfectly."  At first I couldn't find a picture that didn't the threshold worked good with, but then I found this picture. When redoing a project like this, I would only change the subject. The threshold was the hardest part. I learned how to color a picture.

Clones :P

This was the best first prject ever. We had fun taking the photos. I find this very successful because it was our very first project and it looks good. Thankfully, the pictures that we took fitted perfectly into each other. If we were to redo this project, I would do some different poses and have a theme. The most difficult part was layering the pictures.

Polar Tiger

Puffer Hedgehog

Croat

I think that this was a fail on my behalf. I don't feel that this was successful because it looks so awkward and not right. The only thing that actually work was the idea of it and the fact the animals were both black. It started going wrong once I started putting them together. If I were to redo this, I would chose two different animals. The most difficult part was trying to make it look natural. I learned that using photoshop isn't as easy as it looks.
