Step Two: Photograph Images

The image quality on the DSLR photo is much better, this can be seen when zooming in. On the iPhone photo the photo begins to look grainy and shows pixels unlike the DSLR photo which when zooms in holds the quality better. This DSLR photo also has a better depth of field and shows the photos subject more clearly than the iPhone photo. This depth of field can be better illustrated in for example photos of one flower in a meadow or a piece of garbage in a crowded city street. The DLSR will highlight the subject where the iPhone will take a general flat photo.

Step Three: Scan Images

The resolutions sizes are varied when scanning based on the size and overall condition of the objects. This can be seen with the magazine page that has been torn and bent which produces a bad scene where the playing card is near perfect and results in a crisp and detailed scan.

Step Four: Generate An Image

• What did you learn? The most important thing I learned during this project was the difference between cameras and how large the gap can be. When looking at the iPhone picture compared to the DSLR photo there were many things I never considered in looking to see which photo is higher quality.
• What was easy? The easiest steps were taking the images on the cameras and scan the images.
• What was challenging? The most challenging aspect of the project was doing the photoshop end of the project. I don’t have much experience with the program.
• How could your submission be improved? more attention to details and a better undressing of photoshop.
• How could the professor improve the assignment? More detailed responses to the photoshop and the intricacy of the program. I believe it to have a steep learning curve.
• How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? This knowledge of using images will help me on future projects so that I know what my image will look like in print or enlarged for a client.

What did you learn?

This assignment tough me many techniques used to manipulate images like removing backgrounds from images. We used different methods like the pen tool and lasso to go about removing backgrounds based on our images.

What was easy?

The easiest method for removing the backgrounds for me wad the magnetic lasso tool. This particular tool mostly did the work by itself to cut out the background, only needing a bit of fine tuning by me. IT was fast and simple to cut out the rose for this lab.

What was challenging?

The most challenging aspect of this lab was eliminating the background using the eraser tool. It was also tricky due to the image containing hair which was hard to cut around.

How could your submission be improved?

My submission could be improved with a better understanding of the tools and how to use them more detailed. The model cut out was very hard due to the hair so more time and tips would have been better for the future.

How could the professor improve the assignment?

During this lab the section of cutting out the model was challenging for me and left me working on it for a long period. during the demo it was done quickly and didn’t help me.

How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

This assignment will be extremity helpful for me in the future because removing background is a step that I will need in a lot of future projects and job scenarios.

How did a specific reading, video or others’ work inspire or help you?

The thing that helped me the most for this lab was the demo the professor did in class. It showed me clearly a lot of the steps used to make this lab.

What did you learn?

During this lab I learned how ti better understand photoshop and how to manipulate images. Making the images different colors and editing the image sizes for prints and other medias.

What was easy?

The easiest step of this lab was using the clone stamping tool to make the image look cleaner. Using this tool allowed me to remove scratches and dust from the scanners.

What was challenging?

The most challenging aspect of this lab was using the curves to change my image. This was a bit challenging because I was new to this aspect of photoshop and had trouble making my image look good with the curves.

How could your submission be improved?

My submission could be improved with a little more time and understanding of how to tune my image into what was excepted. The images came out good but not exactly the way I would have liked it.

How could the professor improve the assignment?

The assignment could be improved in small ways but it was very good. The professor was able to demo and show how these steps were done and helped to explain the assignment. the instructions posted were also detailed and helpful.

How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

I can uses the techniques used in the project in the future in many ways. These steps were basic that need to be learned to learn harder techniques. The steps taken also will help to make my images look nicer and cleaner for future assignments or work.

How did a specific reading, video or others’ work inspire or help you?

The demo showed by the professor during class was the most helpful. Watching someone else go through all the steps was very useful and helped me to understand the techniques.
