Photoshopping 2

Today we were working in Photoshop with our own photographs, editing the photographs to bring them to a higher level of quality.


First is a picture of a teenage boy not looking at the camera.  I was
able to rotate the picture, and lighten the shadows to bring out some color.

Here is a picture of my dog.  By utilizing Photoshop, I was able to
virtually bathe my mangy dog, and clean up his white fur.
There wasnt too much that needed to be done to edit this piture of a 4x4 truck.  All I needed to do was reduce the glare on the windshield and hood, and light up the shadows underneath only slightly.

Sadness in nature.  A once healthy forest taken down for more housing development, and a bike track.  Yet, some grass clings onto its simple life, and I was able to simply highlight the emotion of this picture.
Some truely beautiful clouds were floating above Aldergrove, and by shifting the shadows slightly, it was possible to get a much better looking, sharper photograph.
Even amongst constant development, Aldergrove somehow stays beautifully green. 
I simply brightened the shadows, and darkened the clouds again.
A happy inanimate object comes to life if you see the basketball backboards as eyes, and
the soccer net as a big gooey grin.  All that was needed here was to remove some
slight shadows and crop the picture to an appropriate size.
By giving the shadows much more power, this tree appears to be almost a painting, or a sketch.
