Photoshop intro - layering and affects.

 

Photoshop introduction.

I used Photoshop for the first time and decided to work with an image that I had drawn and also one that I found on the internet, I layered these up and added various affects until I was happy playing around with the new tools.

Before.

After.

I used tools, like crop, colour balance, saturation, opacity, contrast, layering and more. My favourite tool to use was opacity because I like the way that the two images fade into together and make it seem like one, I use this image to fade out because it looks as if Mickey and Goofy are looking out at former version of themselves.

I also used a variety of gradients to play around some more with my image and the use of colour, there are a range of grandaunts and effects like these; such as negative, sketch etc. I like the outcome of this image because there is no way that you can tell part of it was drawn, or layered and it looks like the two images belong together.

Gradient edit.

Given more time I feel I will be able to develop my work more and experiment with a variety of techniques, such as embossing photos, creating digital images, working with a wider variety of colours and more. I feel as though as though I have only just start working with Photoshop, and there are still many tools and effects that I will be able to use on future work.
