Martha's PHOT65a Exercise #7 - Digital Photographer

Original Photo	Re-Touched Photo

Description of Process Using a photograph I re-touched for Assignment #3, I created an adjustment layer. Then I tinted it using the Hue and Saturation command to change the overall coloration. Next, I created layer masks for 3 different colorizations: green for the socks, yellow for the hair, and rose for the wall. I adjusted the hue, saturation, and opacity for each of the 3 colors. Finally, I merged the layers down, decreased the size of the image file, and saved it in jpg format for posting on the Web. Which are my favorite tools? Why? I love the paint bucket! Once I had made the selections, and created "quick" masks, then I could just pour the colors on. After that, it was an easy process to tone the colors down.

Description of Process

Using a photograph I re-touched for Assignment #3, I created an adjustment layer.
Then I tinted it using the Hue and Saturation command to change the overall coloration.
Next, I created layer masks for 3 different colorizations:

green for the socks, 
yellow for the hair, 
and rose for the wall.

I adjusted the hue, saturation, and opacity for each of the 3 colors.
Finally, I merged the layers down, decreased the size of the image file, and saved it in jpg format for posting on the Web.

Which are my favorite tools? Why?

I love the paint bucket! Once I had made the selections, and created "quick" masks, then I could just pour the colors on.
