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..
