Project: Film Slides

The objective of our first assignment in Raster Graphics was to fill a minimum of 25 empty slide frames and experience the importance of selection, inverse, layer management, canvas size and the text tool. The required footer provided exposure to Image size vs Canvas size and how the megabytes of a file changes depending on resolution. The file of empty slide frames was provided by the instructor. I used images I found on an image board from PSU with giving credits to the people who captured it.

Behind The Scenes

Step 1: What I first did was cut out the frames on the right to use for images while the left is untouched to manually cut out the images to fit in the page, so I had a top folder layer and a bottom folder layer. I also added a footer for the canvas and image details for the project.

Step 2: The next thing I did after adding the images to the left was that I manually cropped out the extras of the images to fit into the frame with ease, I made sure it was all properly cut so it doesn't seem that anything is popping out.

The final product after placing all images behind the frames

Project: Layer Modes & Styles

For this project we had to take an image and change it's layer mode to show what it does while mixing with the background, it was quite easy and it shows what different modes can do with what texture or color you put with the background

Layer Modes
What I did for this was I added 12 copies of an image behind a slightly edited background and named each one with the layer blend I added to see what it would hypothetically look with the altered background image.

Styles Modes
What I did for this was the same as the layers, but made it into a text instead and added different styles and a mixed style to show what you can do with the different styles on a transparent or vector/smart object.

Project: Filters

For this project we had to take a busy looking or quite detailed image and cut it into 24 parts with a ruler, then apply a filter per each 24 spots to show what the filter does to the image.

I took the ruler tool and divided up the image into 24 pieces, then I would use the selection tool and select a square and apply a filter onto it, making it different from the original, I would repeat this process 24 times until it was done.

Project: Selection 1, 2, 3

For this project we had to learn the different types of selections to remove the background out of the images with things or people in it. The tools are selection and channel tools, with and extra bonus of making them into silhouettes.

Selection Tools

We used two different types of selection ways to crop and remove the background in these images. For the dog I used the Pen Tool and the paths window to view the paths. For the Man holding flowers I used the Object Selection tool. For the girl I used Quick Selection in which I selected the background with the brush to know what I wanted to remove. The last one is the computer in which I used the magic wand to select the background to delete it.

Channel Selection

Using the channel selection I would take the blue channel and mute out the blue to be white, while leaving the power lines to be black, this would cause the two objects to be easily seperated so I can remove the background with ease.

Selection Silhouettes

For the Silhouettes it was pretty easy, I would select the pixel layers with the transparency and make a new layer, then using the paint bucket tool I would fill in the selection of the pixels causing it to be a silhouette, I would repeat this with 4 other objects with another one I made.

Project: Selection Animation

For this project we were tasked to make an animation with the silhouettes we made from the previous project and make something with 15 frames at 0.5 seconds per frame, or 2FPS or max of 1FPS (1 frame per second)

For this I made a star with the shape tool to make a star for the first 10 frames and I used basic math to slowly transform it to make it look like it's falling down, I would then slowly make it disappear once it reaches it's destination. While it does that for the last 5 frames would rotate the objects I made from the previous project and cause it to fly away from where the star used to be making it seem as if it was an explosion from the star as it faded away.

Project: Environmental Change

This project teaches us how to use the clone stamp tool, content aware fill, and the sky replacement module, we are taught how to use the first three with the three test projects, and then we were let lose to finish the later 3 with what we have learned about the tools to execute what was needed to finish the project.

I selected the eye with the clone stamp and began to duplicate it around the baby's face to finish this simple project

I used the content aware fill and selected the diver as I then removed him with the tool, I repeated the same steps with the diving board

This one was simple, I used the sky replacement tool from the edit menu and selected the sky and replaced it with a premade sky template and gradient, I had to be in RGB mode for this to work

I used the clone stamp tool to remove the surf boards, rock path, the person, and then I changed the shape of the mound of grass a bit with the clone stamp tool to finalize the ending result.

This one was a little difficult I had to percisionly remove the girl without showing signs of repition, then I had to remove the trash can, tires, and the white metal frame on the far left of the image, then we had to clean up the image with fixing the dirt path and adding more red flowers in the bushes on the right, a lot of this used the clone stamp tool.

I used the clone stamp tool to duplicate and replicate the roads to expand on the sides, I then used the clone tamp tool to also cover up some extra parts of the road to make it not feel repetitive. I would then copy the car and began to transform and move it around in random spots to show that the roads are being used and to not leave the single car alone.

Project: Blending/Overlay

The project for this was to make a unique blending process to make the girl blend inside of the shirt of a different picture of the same girl.

I first transformed the image of the girl to position her into the shirt as I then used the gradient map to add color to them and the clipping mask so it only uses the solo image, and I then used the level adjustments/channel adjustments to fade it into the background showing the final result there.

Project: Conflict/Contrast

This project we were suppose to do an theme on conflicting forces fighting or implict they are fighting or against each other using the contrast and color channels from blending options

I used the Artius Press kit for all these images and alligned them from one side of the image while the opposing force is on the other side, I would then use the color overlay to give each character their respective color and then I would mess with the channel sliders to make them blend into the background, I tried to use dark colors to show the contrast between the two opposing forces.
