Week 4

 

Week 4 - Digital Imaging Exercise

We are to follow the tutorial video or slides prepared to complete an exercise that teach us about selection tool, layer mask, filters and colour correction. 

Part 1: Hearst Mansion

1. Hearst Mansion with Shazam 

In the first part, we need to follow the lecture notes or video to do the exercise. We need to add in Shazam to Hearst Mansion environment. First, I need to crop out the image of the Shazam, then, paste it in the hearst mansion. I need to adjust its scale to match the hearst mansion scale. Then, I adjust its colour to match the Hearst Mansion and added noise. 

I add shadow and reflection for it. The below is my product following the tutorial.

Part 2: Recoloring Black and White 

1. Recolouring B & W photo - Demo exercise 

Following the tutorial notes, first, I extracted the colour from the image given. I need skin colour and hair colour. Then I use quick selection tool to select the hair and click 'Select and Mask'. This will lead me into a selection page, where I can use brushes to brush over the edge to refine the edge that I selected. Then, I create a solid colour layer mask and add in my selected layer in. The colour will mask onto the hair like picture shown below. 

I repeat the same steps for the skin and cloth. Then, the lips, earrings, teeth and eye colour. (I adjusted the skin colour after finish most of the masking, because the skin colour was a too greyish). 

Then, I add in eyeshadow, very pale blush colour and background. Done!
