Re-Do!

For this assignment, go back to one of the previous assignments in this class and re-do the assignment. You will need to completely re-shoot the assignment, not just tweek the images you already shot for the original assignment. Perhaps you got an idea after seeing other images in class or after you learned more in Photoshop. Here is your chance to apply the "if I knew then what I know now..." statement to your work.

Critique on April 6th.

Gender Swap Help

Saving a Selection: Step-by-step instructions with screen grabs.

Match Color: Image--Adjustments--Match Color
Transform Tool: Edit--Transform or Free Transform
*hold down the shift key when changing the scale to keep the original proportions
*remember to double click inside the box when you are done with your transformations and would like to use another tool in Photoshop

Filter Effects Reference: Filter--Blur--Gaussian Blur; Filter--Noise--Add Noise; Filter--Texture--Grain--(Enlarged)

To confine the effects of an adjustment layer to specific image layers, select the image layers, choose Layer > New > Group From Layers, and change the Mode from Pass Through to any other blending mode (like "Normal"). Then place the adjustment layer at the top of the layer group.
