Lab 11 Reflection

      Lab 11 was a continuation of Lab 10. In this lab we explored more editing tool and used them to fix and make some photos look better. The tools that were used in this lab were the color replacement tool, clone stamp, healing and spot healing tool, and patch tool. The color replacement tool allows you to replace the original color of an image, the clone tool allows you to sample any area and paint it over other areas, spot healing and healing brush clones an area of an image and replaces a target area with the clone, and patch tool lets you select an area of an image like the lasso and allows you to move that selection over another area to either replace it with the area it's over or replace the area it's over wit it.

 This was the first photo we edited. As you cans see it is a photo of a girl playing the park. What we did in photoshop was change the color of the girl's cap and touch up the wall. Using the color replacement tool we simply change the foreground color to green and painted the cap green. Then using the clone stamp we cloned portions of the brick wall to cover up some hot spots or graffiti not part of the art on the wall. Using the spot healing brush the dark spots of the wall in the top left were covered up. The crack in the wall was covered up by selecting it using quick selection and filling it using content aware.

  The next picture was a statue. In this picture there was a portion of  the picture ripped out and missing which would be grass. Using the clone stamp we cloned samples of grass already in the photo and replaced the void with cloned grass. There were circular sprinklers in the photo which we covered up using the spot healing brush.

  We then needed to edit a picture of a rock climber climbing rocks. There was a carving in the rock which we covered up using the healing brush. There were many holes and chips in the rock as well. We used the patch tool to cover them up. There was a major chip in the right side of the rock which required both patch tool and spot healing brush since the color didn't match up with the surrounding rock.

     The last image was of a man that had aged just a little bit. He had wrinkles on his forehead which we covered up by using the healing brush. Wrinkles were around his eyes which were covered up using the patch tool. Wrinkles inside the glasses were covered separately from those outside.
     These skills would be helpful as a web designer because these skills can help a web designer patch up undesirable things in their work. For example, if a web designer took a picture of a park and wanted to put it in the parks website some things may make it look unattractive. Maybe trash on the ground or a pigeon in the wrong place. We can use these editing tools to remove those things and make the picture look better. Son in short, these skills help remove the undesired to make your work more appealing.
