Q3 Project: Image Editing
For this project, I edited an original image. Through this i was hoping to learn how to use some photo editing tools. To begin, I chose a topic to take a picture of (body portrait). I then took the photo and found an editing tool to use (PicsArt and Pixlr). Then I edited the picture according to what I thought would make it better.
A success I had during this project was learning to use a camera, as well as a photo editing tool. A failure that I encountered was the first editing tools I attempted to use. This is because they were really difficult to use and didn’t contain any tutorials. Ultimately, I learned how to edit pictures to fit a theme and use various cropping, filtering, and enhancing tools to do so.
Through this project, I learned that I can be creative in certain avenues. I’m not always as expressive but I think that I’m pretty good at editing photos. If I were to do this project over again, I would choose a different editing tool, sooner. For others, I would suggest choosing a tool that someone can teach you to use or a tool that contains tutorials.
These tools helped me convey my message in many ways. I used a blur tool to change the focus from the background, to the person. Next I used a sharpening tool around the edges of the person to give it more depth. Then, I chose a custom color (light bluish color) and filtered it into the picture. Finally, I chose border to make the picture stand out a little more. My goal was basically to show the coolness of winter. As my favorite season, I wanted to show how interesting and calm winter is. Overall, I think a good job of portraying this smooth message and I would do this project again.
