How I Roll

These pictures were edited in Adobe Photoshop 4

 This picture is my favorite picture and I basically used the Channel Mixer tool to make the picture black and white and then color in the buttons.

 For this I just selected my Xbox LIVE headset and made the hue a greenish color and turned the background black and white.

 For this picture I started by messing with the saturation to make it look like the colors were messed up.  Then I decided to check out the Gradient Map tool and hit the inverse button to see what it would do and I ended up with this.

 I simply used the channel mixer to turn this picture black and white then color in the power button.

I only used a Photo Filter with this one and made a custom bluish color.

Photo Technical Challenge

This is my technical shoot challenge I did the ISO and morning evening and night shots.

 This is my morning shot.

This is my midday shot

 This is my evening shot.

 This is low ISO

 Medium ISO

and high ISO

The photos are of my 1 hour walk project.  I walked around the canal trail while I took my photos. I edited them using Photoshop and Lightroom using various tools.

 First I deepened the saturation in Photoshop.  I then used the burn tool to make the paw print pop.  Also when I deepened the saturation that also made the rocks look more colorful than they usually are.

 For this picture all I did was use a photo filter to make the picture warmer so that it looks better.

 In this picture, I used a channel mixer in Photoshop to make it black and white. I then used layer mask to bring back the bright green color of the leaves.

 For this picture I just made it black and white and darkened the tree to make it stand out more. I also lightened the blue saturation to make the sky brighter in contrast to the tree.

In this picture, I added a gradient map to give it a slight gray overtone. I also cropped it to make the focus on the tree.

For this picture, first i made a background copy just incase I messed up.  After that I pressed Command-Shift-U to make the picture black and white.  Then I used the burn tool to darken the eyes and side of the face.  Then I used the dodge tool to lighten the middle of the face.  After that I duplicated the layer and then sharpened the image.  Lastly I lightened it up with the High Pass Filter and then I used the soft light blend to make it darker again.

For this picture  I duplicated the background just in case I messed up and I just kept liquifying it until it looked like a square balloon!
