19- Skills Learned

Photoshop is a good software to make different designs, and change the way an image looks. I was able to learn new things from changing the filter of my picture to doing different effects on text (like the Glass text effect) to now where I learned how to add details to a picture using the displacement map or Quick Mask. This software has been very helpful.

18- Soft Skin Glow

In this assignment I used Photoshop to to change the appearance of an image, which in this case was a selfie of myself, but I only changed the appearance of the skin on my face. First I blurred the entire image and changed from normal to screen, and with the paint brush tool I painted over my eyes and everything around my face including the background, then changed the opacity. I followed these step from a simple tutorial.

17- Selection via Quick Mask

In this assignment I used Photoshop to select something and fill it in without using the magnetic lasso like in assignments from before, instead I used Quick Mask which is a mode, where you select a part of an image and edit it without much problem. In this case I decide to select the bottom part of the women's hair in the image then with the Paint Bucket tool I filled it in with the color green to make it seem that she dyed the bottom part of her hair green. To do this I just followed some steps from an easy to follow tutorial.

16- Smart filter - Motion blurring

In this assignment I used Photoshop to make an image of a plane clear in a blurry background, even though I started with a very clear image. To do this I followed a few simple steps, where I opened the image as a smart object used the motion blur filter, and then used a paint brush to make the plane look.

To change the settings and add the filter I followed some steps from a simple tutorial.
