Fantasy landscape evaluation.

For this task we had to create one image made up of lots of images this is called fantasy lands scape. I used four images in all, three of them were off google and one was one that i had taken my self. you could either edit you image so that its obvious that you have edited it or you could edit it so that it looks realistic . i decided to edit mine so that it looked real.

i started with a image that i took myself in burton I  selected the sky and deleted it then got a picture of google and put it on its own layer behind so that the sky wasn't just plain. I also go two images of elephants and cut around the edges of them very carefully then copied and pasted them on the the image.


i had afew problems when changing the sky , because there was a faint white line at the top of the trees so i had to rub it out then use the blur tool to blend it in so it didn't look obvious that i edited the image. it took agers to do but it was worth it.

this was before

 this was after 

this is my final image, when we did the feed back, people said it reminded them of a documentry of tv and the lion king because its got elephants in it and the sky looks nice. i think it is well blended but i could have added more images to it like another animal or two.

Creating contact sheets.

When making contact sheets i use Adobe Bridge CS5.1, i start off by searching it and putting it on the dock at the bottom of my screen so its easy to access.







Once you've loaded the application it comes up with a choice of images and files you  have to select the images you would like on the contact sheet.







once i selected the images i had to save the contacted sheet

Downloading images.

I used image capture to download my pictures on to the computer so i searched image capture then when it had loaded i tarted downloading, I didn't want to download all the images off the camera i had to choose the images i wanted by holding down cmd and clicked on the ones i wanted. Then after selecting the images i wanted to download i selected the folder i wanted them to be saved in then clicked down load. After I checked to see if the images had been saved before ejecting the camera.

introduction.

i have 6 weeks to complete this project in which i am going to learn how to use photoshop and learn how to manipulate photos. Also i will be researching other photographers that have used photoshop to edit there pictures.
