Here’s what my project looks like from Illustrator. I created a picture resembling the one on the top left, but as you can see the colors are different from it. I made it this way because I wanted the trees to be in a most accurate color. I didn’t want all the the trees to …

Day 23: Removing Blemishes from a Portrait in Photoshop
This was project was like “Removing Distractions”. I used the Spot Healing Brush tool but from what I learned, Healing Brush tool is a little different – it takes the textures and using it, you can place it wherever you want (press Alt when clicking). If it shows no effect, then the Spot Healing Brush …

Day 22: Correcting Exposure in Photoshop
The easiest process of turning a Dark picture into a brighter one, and a Bright picture into not-too-bright picture. I just go to the icon one with a half circle and choose “Layers”. When I double-click on the layer, the Layer Style will appear on the Blending Options section to adjust the brightness and the …
Day 21: Change the Color of Anything in Photoshop
Another fundamental technique, but I got a little confused with working on the Eyedropper tool while I was following the instructor because knowing about how it’s used turned out to be a little different than I anticipated. I clicked on the background instead of the van to make things work. The Eyedropper is used for …

Day 19: Editing RAW Photos in Photoshop
This method in Photoshop was stressful because I did not know how to start the project when I opened the RAW image. I watched the entire video first to understand what’s done in the project. I wanted to follow the instructor, but I now understand that how different the RAW is presented shows the different …
Day 18: Create a Photo Collage
This was very similar to the “Non-Destructively with Smart Objects” project, except that it had 8 different pictures of different categories. I also had to create a white background and fill with black squares to allow the image to fit into it, so when I move it around, it’ll stay inside the square no matter …
Day 17: How to Dodge & Burn
This project pretty much has the same as the previous ones, because it has the process of doing Ctrl + I to invert the layer masks and using the paint brush tool to lighten or darken the parts of the image. But there was somewhat a different process of lightening and darkening which is known …
Day 16: Remove Distractions in Photoshop
Several things I’ve learned from the project are the Spot Healing Brush tool and the Clone Stamp tool. The Spot Healing Brush tool is used for removing distractions, say, if there’s lines around the background image, I can use the Spot Healing Brush to get rid of them. The changes seem to look alright until …
Day 15: Blending Modes
A very interesting project done in photoshop. I can add a single object like this in a background image using Blending Modes. I don’t have to memorize all of it, but its obvious that I can select any type to see how I want my image to see fit. But the most important part of …
