DescriptionFor this week's assignment, I was given free rein on photoshop tutorials to follow to familiarize myself better with the app. Since I am pretty slow when it comes to photoshop and the difficulty of the tutorials varied, some took longer to complete than others. Here are the four finished products: Tutorial #1: Dash of colorThis tutorial was the easiest and quickest to complete. You probably notice that the image has a little more than a "dash" of color because the background is colorful as well, but I couldn't bear to leave those colors out of the image. I like how the effect makes Allie's hair tie and the background stand out. I used the history brush for the first time with this tutorial, so I still learned something new. Tutorial #2: PolaroidsThis tutorial was pretty fun and easy for me. I learned a lot of new skills doing it so it was also great practice. I learned how to create a clipping mask, how to add a drop shadow on an image, and how to create a layer group. I had some difficulties lining up the polaroids well enough so that the image was clear but I think it turned out well overall. Tutorial #3: Dot PatternThis tutorial was a little more time consuming than the rest but I think the result was worth it. In this tutorial I learned how to convert a photo into a smart object, apply the mosaic filter, how to create a custom pattern and fill a layer mask with it, and also how to add a stroke around the dots to make them stand out more. This tutorial was very educational and fun. Tutorial #4: RainbowThis tutorial was another fairly easy one for me, but I also really liked it because of how nice the rainbow effect looks on an image. I learned how to manipulate the gradient tool for this tutorial and became much more familiar with it for future reference. I only had some minor difficulties in placement of the rainbow but after experimenting for a little while I figured it out.
