In Class, 1/25

A.

From the images you shot for last week (isolated, in-camera crops), please choose five more images for processing in Photoshop, beyond what you have already completed for homework.

For each image:

1. Open in Photoshop, creating a saved, Photoshop file (.psd)
2. Global Adjustment: WP/BP Curve Adjustment Layer
3. Global Adjustment: Curve Adjustment Layer to optimize brightness. Fine-tune with Opacity.
4. Global Adjustment: Curve Adjustment Layer to optimize contrast, Fine-tune with Opacity.
5. Local Adjustment: Dodge and Burn layer (basic method). Use big, soft brush to blend edges. Gaussian blur also can be used to feather edges.
6. Global Adjustment: Sharpen with High Pass

For 1-2 of the files, try this new technique, instead of #4

1. Global Adjustment: Adjustment Layer with blending mode of "Soft Light" or "Overlay" to optimize contrast. Fine-tune with Opacity.

B.

1. Archive/save all of your work (as layered PSD files) to external drive and/or server
2. Go through all the images you have edited. 
3. Choose the strongest five, isolated, in-camera crop images. Preferably, they should be of different scenes/subject matter. (Total five files)
4. Also, locate the general initial "non-isolated" views you captured these subjects. (Total five files) These do not have to be edited.
5. Using Image Processor, create 1600 pixel PSD and JPG copies of these 10 files...three general views, plus their isolated, in-camera cropped views
6. In the drop box, under the folder for Assignment 1, create a folder with your last name
7. In this folder, create two subfolders called PSD, and JPG
8. Place your ten PSD files in the PSD folder, and JPG files in the JPG folder
