Final product on E-wallpaper including lab 5 of advenced layering~

Summary on assignment 1 ~ E-wallpaper

i think my last output is a bit different from the before one. Because i think the before one is a bit confuse.

My photo on close up view~

These are my image to put in my close up view.

i use the selection tool to select my whole body out..

and then i use selection tool to select out the little little snow.

And then this is the background for my photo.

after i drag the image into the bank psd, then i arrange it nice.and use the free transform to make the snow larger.

Lab 3 and 4 : Retouching and Enhancing digital photos

For tutorial 3 and 4~

we learned about retouching and enhancing digital photos~

after listening about madam lydia's comment on some e-wallpaper~

so i get some new idea for my wallpaper..

firstly i checked all my images used on layering~

i found that ebee had spoilt by me when i'm selecting it from white background~

so i use clone stamp tool to clone back the shoe..

alt + mouse left click to clone the image..

den release alt and click on the empty place to paste..

besides~

i had choose a new image for my wallpaper..because madam lydia said we do not need to include fom building~so i change the building to a earth image~

there are few word surround the earth and within the earth..
so i use clone stamp tool here too~

after cloning and stamping~all the words disappear~as shown below..

after that~
i would like to make the earth look like have more 3D feel~
so i use the quick selection + magic wand tool + polygonal lasso tool to select the land on the earth~

after that..image > adjustments > replace color~
den change the lightness to minimum..den it will be black~

press ctrl +alt to copy the same image out to a new layer..

because i want to separate the land and sea part of earth~

layer > layer style > color overlay
i add a blue colour to my land of the earth~ to make it more sharp~
drop shadow has been added to make it look like 3D~

the above showed the image after adjusted~

next~

make the earth active~

and then i use the same technique to enhance the photo~

color overlay and drop shadow for the earth~

after that~

i combine the blue land part and the earth~

i ctrl and click the two layer~

right click either one and choose merge layer~

then the land layer and earth layer mixed to 1 layer called earth~

after the merging~i can move the earth easily without considering either the land layer or earth layer~

seem like the earth is not enough bright~

so~

image > adjustments > brightness/contrast

image > adjustments > shadow/highlights
this is to make shadow for earth~




filter > sharpen > unsharp mask
i feel the ebee is not enough sharp when i enlarge it~so i use the unsharp mask~
i adjust to 114% ~












after the sharpening~
i arrange my ebees around the earth~
i use ctrl + alt to make copy of ebee~
and i use free transform and flip horizontally to make ebee with 2 directions~ 

for the FOM platter~
left one is before edited~and right one is after i edit using photoshop~

at first the FOM word is dark in colour because initially is grey colour~
so i use selection tool to select the F O M~
image > adjustments > replace color
i put hue and saturation to the minimum~and lightness to max~so that the outcome is white colour like the right side of below pictures~




for the last image~
the mmu logo~

i use filter > distort > lens correction
because initially the mmu logo slightly tilt to left~
so i need to move it tilt right a bit~

below picture showed that i had select the logo from the white background~
i use magic wand, rectangular marquee tool, elliptical marquee tool, polygonal lasso tool~
to select the logo slowly and neatly~
after that i right click and press select inverse~then delete to delete the background color..





this is my jpeg file on lab3 and 4~
stay tune for last part~
thank you~

Lab 2 on LAYERING~~

after the class of second tutorial about layering~

i started to know how to use the layer efficiently~

and some of the tools~

like move tool..magic wand tool..horizontal text tool..

now start~XD

open last week tutorial 1 psd file~

and then save as lab 2~

background layer is initially locked~

to unlock it~just double click on the lock icon~

and then the new layer window pop out~

name the unlock background layer as clouds~

other layer eye i make it off~ ctrl + mouse left click and drag~

i press the clouds layer and make it active~

i want change the background to full of clouds..

first change the color to blue in the color panel..

then at the filter bar option..choose render and then clouds..

ta ta~ background changed~

after that i try change the opacity of the clouds~
75% 
clouds will become transparent a bit as diagram below~

after that~
i make the FOM building layer active~


then choose layer~ layer style~ drop shadow~

and i change the blend mode to lighten~
and i try to make effect on it~
i try all the styles~stroke~satin~

but at last cant clearly see the shadow because i move the building to the bottom of paper~
so i change the opacity to 90%~
because this building act as background too~

after that i make the ebee visible and active~
i clean a bit border and the white background by using quick selection tool and magic wand tool~
this was taught by madam lydia on the first tut about selection~
and i got resize with free transform~

For the TM logo~
i change the option in layer style~
stroke~

then there will be a border surrounding the logo~

i had added a new image~
firstly use magic wand tool to select the books from the white background~
and then resize and move to the corner~

after than i flip horizontal the ebee~
ctrl + T to free transform..then right click then choose flip horizontal~

i arrange the ebee..FOM..books..and TM~

now is time to add text~
change the foreground color first~
then click on the horizontal text icon at the left hand side option bar~
i added accounting, economics, management, finance, marketing..
and i move and rotate a bit to suit between the books by using free transform~
change the font also~

after that~
write the date and time for open day~
21st march 2012~
9am - 5pm~


the open day and date word~
i use stroke effect here~
make it more attractive~

this is the result~

this is my jpeg file for lab2~~

finally i finish layering on my open day e-wallpaper~
layering is important too~
when adding text~
make all images and word attractive~


i'm waiting for our next class~XD
