These are my 5 images what I have took around the Eccles campus these are different parts of the building and outside of the building. I have took different pictures of different objects I try to get a mixture of images

1.4, 2.1 & 2.2 EDIT YOUR IMAGES

Here is the first starting image of the sign I have done some editing to make it better ill tell you what I did. I went on filter then sketch and clicked on charcoal this effect makes it black and white as you can see in the picture provided.

1.4, 2.1 & 2.2 EDIT YOUR IMAGES

Here is the same picture again but I have done different adjustments to it. I used the crop tool to just get close to the picture.

I also used the lasso tool this lets you get rid of things in the picture. As you can see there were feet in the first one but in the second one I got rid of the feet by using the lasso tool.

1.4, 2.1 & 2.2 EDIT YOUR IMAGES

I have rotated the picture so the doors are now on the left instead of the right.

I used the curves tool to make the dark bits look better as you can see there much darker.

I have used black and white because I think it looks old fashioned and it looks really nice with the turn out.

1.4, 2.1 & 2.2 EDIT YOUR IMAGES

I have used black and white for this picture to make it look like it was taken at a different time.

As you can see I have used the crop to zoom in on the photo.

As you can see the image is blurred I used the smudge tool to create this effect.

1.4, 2.1 & 2.2 EDIT YOUR IMAGES

As you can see in the finished photo the objects are blurred in it I like this effect.

I used the photo filter to give it the orangey effect I did this to make it look nicer.

I used the curves tool to make the orange colour look more defined by making it darker in more places.

1.4, 2.1 & 2.2 EDIT YOUR IMAGESAs you can see I used hue/saturation to make the tree a different colour.

I used vibrance as another colour changer to make the purple darker.

I used levels to make the dark places even darker on the photo.

1.6 FILE FORMATS

JPEG is an image file it is flattened so it can not be moved. It is only used for image files meaning it can not be used for a different file format. With a JPEG image file you can get them in different resolutions you can get them in small medium or large. With a JPEG you can put it in word, PowerPoint, ECT. It cant be edited most people will use a JPEG file format if they want to put it in a word document because it is the only file format what will go in a document like this.

1.6 FILE FORMATS

The PSD file format basically means that it is has PS in it then it is a adobe Photoshop document. The easiest way to open it is to double click on the document and let your PC decide which default application should open it. Out of all the formats Photoshop supports the PSD file which is the most important. PSD is on of only few that supports all of the powerful features on Photoshop like layers ,layer masks.
