Landscape - sky empahasis

 This picture was taken in Laporte at about 9:00 a.m on 10/28/10.

The flash was off and the setting was on auto.

When this picture was taken I wanted more sky than ground but they were the same size so I cropped it.I went to the setting adjustment and picked hue/saturation and didn't change the hue. I changed the saturation which makes the picture brighter or dimmer and I set the setting higher which made it brighter. I also changed the lighness of the picture and this made the picture lighter. I changed the level of the picture just a tinsie winsie bit. This setting made the clouds move and show more. I removed the fence by the trees and took the power post away. I wanted a more natural picture and that's what I have. This picture is sky emphasis because it shows more sky than ground. I like this picture better because it's natural and has lovely color in the grass.



Architecture

I took this photo on October 23, 2010. I was in Saint Paul Minneapolis. The setting is on scene, landscape and the flash is off.

I cropped this photo, makes it a stronger. I changed the hue higher and saturation lower. I changed the curves this setting made the sky bluer. I think this picture looks better because the building looks awesome.

Landscape - ground emphasis

This picture was taken in my yard . It was taken October 22, 2010. The setting was on scene and on lanscape. The flash is off.

I eliminated the posts gaurding the trees and the yellow cord under the net.  This photo is the ground emphasis because the ground shows more than the shy.

In this photo I changed the the hue/saturation. I think this photo is better because the posts in the back are gone, color of the grass is green, the sun is shining, and the pretty net in the background.

B&W with Color

This picture was taken around 6:00 p.m. on October 8th, 2010. I took this picture at home. The setting was on auto and the flash was on.

The saturation is low. I couln't just change it to black and white because I wouln't be able to go the the layers and just move a layer if I didn't want it.

I changed the level, saturation and the curves. The setting I used to change the color was the eraser tool. This picture is better because it's pretty. :) So all together in my steps of editing this I: Changed the satuarion very low to make the picture black and white then I used the eraser tool to erase the black and white on the flower and changed it to the color it was before.

Photo Clean-up

This picture was taken in the gym during school at about 12:20, October 12, 2010. The boys are ballin it up! :) The setting was on SCENE mode and on sporting event. No flash.

 One of the reasons this picture is better is because the lighting is brighter. I moved the people in the left corner out of the way. I changed the curves lower, and I changed the brightness and contrast.

In this picture I moved used the patch tool to remove the lights off the ground. I like it alot.

Straight vs. Angled

This picture was taken at my house at about 6:00 p.m. on September 28th, 2010. The setting is on auto. The flash is off. Lovely color, I like the pink.:)

NOOOO CORRECTION! :) but needs it.

I changed the curve lower. The exposure is a little higher and made the vibrance show better color. :) I like that the flower is lighter than the original. It shows the glow in the middle more. I like it!

Color Replacement!!!

 This picture was taken at about 9:00 a.m. The lighting isn't the greatest. It's not cropped, someones head is in the fway. It's not even set at the right setting.

 So...I began the cropping, looks a little better.

Now!!! I did the crop, no more big head. :) And now ALL the headbands are the purple and we look pretty good. :) No more yellow skinnies so she now matches the volleyball team, sorry kelli :))))) hehe: to change the color I went to the quick selection tool, selected the things I wanted to be a certain color then went to adjustments which led me to color replace then wa-laa. I like this picture now because we look like we planned to wear the same color of jeans, kinda. Yay!

I tried to change the curves in this picture and it didn't turn out very well so instead I used levels to make the picture a little brighter.
