This was a picture of me taken a few years ago in an airport in Florida when i was visiting Disney World. I slapped a gray scale on the picture and used the history brush to paint in the colors of the Mickey mouse Rastafarian braid hat.
I found this pic on the webz and thought it was just awesome and I knew I had to do something with it. I did me "picture perfection" on this pic and how I did that was by highlighting one of the peanuts with a circle over the entire picture and then i put a light blue stroke around the circle and added some shadowed text to finish up my masterpiece.
This is picture of me on a monorail in Seattle a couple of years ago. i used this picture for my self portrait stencil. I cropped myself out, put a gray scale on the picture, then i lowered the opacity, put it on a white background and erased everything around my head and just like that i had stencil of my self in black and white.
i had no really good red eye pictures of my own so I found a great one on the web again. This was a super easy project but it made a really big difference and improved the picture ten fold. there is no remnants of the red eye anymore and all it took was creating a circle over the pupil and removing all the red with the levels tool
So because I didn't have a good picture of a 'chopper, so I had to find one on the web that I could use. I re-colored it so it is a very pretty pinkish purple. Which is obviously not natural. It looks much better now. The army should switch colors.
In this picture I adjusted the lighting and contrast until it looked more natural. I then cropped it, leaving some leading space for my friend, Thomas. I added a nice drop shadow and bold orange text to finish it off.
I didn't like my outfit in this picture so I decided to spiff it up a little. I added some snazzy clown pants to replace my worn jeans and a classy sport jacket and tie to replace my boring black shirt. Now I'm all ready to party!
My friend Brian had a little acne issues on his special day, so I decided to help him out by giving him the proactive treatment, Photoshop style. I used the healing brush to even out his skin tone then used the smudge tool to finish off his new and improved sexy look. Finally, cropping it down to a better size to focus it on his face.
I found this alarming picture of a monstrous dinosaur with long yellowed toenails, impressive array of sharp white teeth, and hungry glint in his eyes and decided to move him into a more appropriate background.
I took this plain coloring book page of a penguin and gave his tux some color. I used the pen tool to make a selection and filled it with the appropriate color, turning the boring bird into a pretty penguin.
This bland school picture needed some adjustments to really pop. After fixing up the color and contrast so the little boy in blue could really be blue.
Eddie the army man needed a cooler background than the one he had now, so I cut him out and put him on the cover of the Pink Floyd album, The Dark Side of the Moon. Then I put some awesome cyborg legs on him to finish his look.
This was an extremely simple project but I LOVE how well it looks. A simple red circle was given a 3 dimensional appearance by darkening around the edges and lighting around the bottom left side and a circle slightly offset from the center. This makes the circle appear to be more of a ball that is being hit by a light.
I found a cool picture of some palm trees on the Internet and turned it a fabulous shade of lavender. I reflected it and lowered the opacity to make it look nice and soft, like a roll of Charmin Ultra Plush. Then I used the liquefy filter to twist them into interesting shapes.
This is a metal pipe. I broke it.... WITH PHOTOSHOP!!!!!!!! I actually LOVE this pipe because it is 100% made in Photoshop from scratch and i believe to be the pinnacle of my work done in this class this semester. I was able to utilize several tools that i usually would not get a chance to such as anchor points, custom styles, perspective transform, and a grid.
