1.1 Digital Imaging Exercises 1 - Photo Manipulation

1.1.1 Hearst Mansion:

1.2 Digital Imaging Exercises 2 - Recoloring Black & White

1.2.1Exercise 1

1.2.2 Exercises 2

1.3 Double Exposure

Creating double exposures is the skill I found most interesting. Both double exposures and collages seem to use many different image elements to create design works, but the most distinctive feature of double exposure is its ability to overlay two photos, making them merge into a single whole. When combined with the use of other image elements, it presents a unique visual effect.

1.3.1 Follow Tutorial

1.3.2 My Own Double Exposure

2. REFLECTIVE WRITING

I think Project 2 involves more use of Photoshop compared to Project 1. During the process of completing Project 2, the professor guided us step by step from the basic functions and commonly used tools of Photoshop to their practical applications, helping us understand and learn to use Photoshop to create our works. With the help of tutorials and demonstrations, we also became more proficient in mastering the skills we learned through practice.

In the photo manipulation exercises, everything went smoothly when I followed the tutorial to complete the first exercise, as I could refer to the various parameter values the teacher used in the process. However, when I practiced integrating my own photo into a scene photo, I hesitated many times while adjusting parameters such as saturation, brightness, hue, and contrast of my photo before making the integration of my photo and the scene photo look more harmonious. This shows that just one or two practice sessions may not be enough, and I still need to continue practicing after completing this assignment.
