Compositing an Image in PHOTOSHOP

       Everything we saw have shapes isn't it? the mountains have triangular or cone shape, our houses have rectangular shape, wheels have circular shape. Even our body, there are some who have coke sakto shape, others have family size shape and many other kinds of shapes. If we combined all of this we can produce a quality image or pictures. In PHOTOSHOP we can produced an image by the used of shapes with proper combinations and procedures.

   

   The image in the left is a combination of circles and lines. And we all know that this character is DORAEMON a famous cartoon character in television. I choose Doraemon because of its circular shape and for that it is easy to manipulate and create. Through PHOTOSHOP i create this image step by step, or layers by layers. In Photoshop we will work on the layers not by the image itself.

   
     In compositing an image, it is a work of combining an image in a single picture to produce a better images. The combination of pictures will take place through every other layers to prevent errors and for proper composition. I used the Eliptical Marquee Tool to create circles and the Pencil Tool for single lines. I also used the Paint Bucket Tool to fill colors inside the shapes and the Gradient Tool for better colors. The Type Tool for Text purposes and the rest settings will depends on you and your creativity. 

      Now we learned how to create an image step by step through layers. We start on a blank images, from scrapped to a finished Doraemon character. Although the image is not that really perfect but the most important is, the thought  is in there, we can distinguish that it is a cartoon character. As a beginner we have to improve ourselves in order to produce great images. We just need to practice to enhance our creativity with PHOTOSHOP.

Make-Up in Photoshop

  In many cases, people used powders, creams, lipsticks and many other beauty enhancing products to make their face more beautiful and attractive, but sometimes there is situation wherein you are not ready to be taken by a camera like when your friends taking some pictures, you might be worry that yourself is not ready for a picture taking and you are so shy when the camera focuses on you. But as today, there is a solution, no more worries because PHOTOSHOP have the power to enhance your image through its digital MAKE-UP.

Before:

  The image on the left side is a picture of a woman that I've got on the internet.  You can see that there is still visible blemishes on her skin, and although she has make-up the effect is not that really convincing because of little foundation she applied.  We will try Photoshop to enhance this image and apply it with appropriate make-up.

                                              After:

  The image on the right side is a result of digital make-up through Photoshop. You can see now the improvement on the image before, much clearer skin and convincing make-up. I used the Brush Tool, for better emphasis on the Lips, Eye Brows, Eye Liner, Eye Lid and for the Blush-on effect, I also used the Smudge Tool, to deepen and spread the effect of the Brush Tool and last the Erase Tool, to remove inappropriate contents. Settings may vary as you liked.

   Now, there is no reason to be worried in taking pictures. Photoshop can give you options to enhance your image. Even though you don't have make-up, You can now have it by the used of PHOTOSHOP.

                                                                                                                          Before

        

          You can see that a guy on this picture which I've got on the net have acne problems. He's skin is not that really clear. Many people have encountering this problem and it is normal especially in adolescent period.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              After

   

    On this picture. I enhance the image especially on the face portion. I remove the acne, acne marks and blemishes of this guy with the use of Photoshop and its Healing Tool magic, I also changed the background of the picture and it depends on your taste.  You can see now that the skin is clear and no more blemishes

Colours of Life : Me and Mom

        Colors are everywhere, without color, objects or things may look so tame like there is no life at all. Imagine if all things your eyes can see are only black or white, isn't it so boring like your blind??

        In life, colors can make things more fancy to see. and all people I guess have favorite colors? Colors may also represent us, because in Psychology of colors, every colors has meanings that we can relate on it...

          Here I represent my self and my mother as the 7 colours or raises of a rainbow, the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

     I am colour red, because red is love, I loved those people who also loves me, especially my parents and friends. My mother is also red, because red is strength, she's always in full determination to overcome difficulties.

     I am colour orange, because orange is joy and creative, I just love to recycle many useless things and make it worthy again. My mother is also orange, because orange is food, my mother's hobby is to cook food.

     I am colour yellow, because yellow is optimistic, in some cases I always think positive even if in worst situation, My mother is also Yellow, because yellow is competence, my mother loves to compete in many things.

     My mother and I are colour green/blue because green/blue is rest and relax, we love to relax and always taking a nap if we were bored.

     I am colour indigo, because indigo is addiction, I easily get addicted in many things. My mother is also indido because, because indigo is moody mind, sometimes i dont understand my mother, sometimes she's good and bad.

     I am colour violet, because violet is imagination, I always used my mind for imagination. My mother is  also violet, because violet is ritualistic, like some other person, my mother still following old traditions.

     I just want to share and tell  to everyone how colourful our life is like a beautiful rainbow. And we can only see that color by discovering it.

     I therefore conclude that we can actually compare ourselves into different colours, cause every colours has its meanings. In psychology of colours, by giving such a colour we can now distinguish what a person really is and what behaviour he/she may possesses. This will also help us what colour fit us well.
