workshop- spin and zoom technique

to create a focus point in an image. a good way to do this is to blur out everything, part from the chosen area/ areas. to do this you must first the Elliptical Marquee Tool, with this tool you select a circle area around the part you want in focus. now increase the feathering of the image to 150.

 after that press inverse to select the outside of the circle. now go to filters, blur, radial blur. here will pop up a box. in the box change the amount of blur, the quialty and the method of blur (spin or zoom). when you are happy press ok and deselect the image to get rid of the selection.

workshop task- borders

here is how to create a border using ocean ripple or the blur technique.
Ocean ripple: to create the border, select the rectangle marquee tool and make the rectangle a border you wish to have , now inverse the rectangle so the out side of it is selected. now feather the image to 150. after this go to filters and select ocean ripple.here you can change the amount and strength of the filter. I feel a higher amount is best.now press the erase tool -eraser tool needs to be selected from the left hand tool bar and the selected area erased. Once you have erased the area you need to deselect the area. To do so click on Select --> Deselect, and you'll be left with your final image.

blur: to do this do the same as for the ocean blur, up till you pick your filter. here select blur, gradient bur. You will then be presented with a window in which you can adjust the amount of blur you want. after this you can deselect the rectangle, giving you a border made of the edge of the original image just blurred. or you can erase the edges like you did for the ocean ripple border. giving you a plan border that merges with the edges of the image in the middle

workshop task- 3D images.

To create 3D images. You will need two images of the same thing, taken from the same spot and time, but one using your left eye and the other with your right eye.

Photoshop: open both images move the right eye images over the left image.

Select the top layer (right eye image), now go to image (at the top of the screen) // adjustments//levels. Now go to channels and change RGB to Red, after that change the output levels from 255 to 0 and press ok.(top layer changes to blue)

Now select the background/ bottom layer (left eye image), go back to levels, change the channel to green and change the output to 0 again (layer changes to purple, see on side bar on the right), now change the channel to blue and the output to 0 (changes layer to red).

Now reselect the top layer and change the setting normal to screen (locate on the right hand side next to the small diagram of the layers).

Put on your 3D glasses and see the 3D image you have just created. Note: you may need to move the top layer to make the image 3D, this is if the two images are to out from each other.

There is another way of doing this. Do the same this, but instead of two images, made from using different eyes. Just use one image, but duplicate it to create another layer. Background copy will be top layer. and to make it 3D move the top layer down and aross to the right abit.

Introduction

Over the next six week, we have been asked to project at least one final image that has been digitally manipulated in one way or another. Throughout the six week we will be completing three Photoshop workshops, which will help us expand our skills that we may use in our final image/s and is needed to complete this assignment set. There is no theme set for this assignment, we must choose our own, however we must use are Photoshop knowledge and skills to create the image/s. It also must be documented along the way with idea improvement and explanation to all work. This assignment covers unit 34 which aims to recognise digital manipulation in the work of others, be able to digitise source material, be able to create work using image manipulation and be able to present our own design ideas. Alongside this we have been asked to research the history of digital manipulation and artists which use this.
