Photoshop is key for editing images and creating posters. We have been working with it and learning how to use some of the many tools and shortcuts, which make life sooo much easier.
CROP.
-The crop tool lets you crop down images and select a section of them, so framing of a picture can be perfect.
LASSO.
-The lasso tool enables you to select certain parts of an image in any shape you want. There are 3 options in the drop down bar. Lasso, Polygonal lasso and Magnetic lasso. Lasso allows you to draw a box freehand around a shape, Polygonal lasso draws in straight lines and creates polygonal sections, and Magnetic lasso will stick to colour edges, but does not always work.
CLONE.
-The clone stamp tool clones bits of image from one part to another, so for example you can give people a 3rd eye or extra limbs. It also helps when retouching, and is another option from the patch tool.
DODGE/BURN.
-The dodge tool makes things lighter. It can be changed to focus on highlights, midtones and shadows.
-The burn tool makes things darker, and again can be changed to focus on highlights, midtones and shadows.
LEVELS/CURVES.
-Levels and curves work towards the same purpose, but in slightly different ways. The levels option works on a linear motion, allowing you to increase or decrease the amount of light and darkness in pictures.
-Curves, silimarly to its title, allows you to change the contrast and light/darkness levels on a curved system, and is more complex to grasp than levels.
These are just some of the many tools available on photoshop.
