Week 6 This week, I worked on photomanipulation of an image I took of the front of the hardware store. First of all, it was a cloudy day. I have learned from my photography book (The Nikon Field Guide) that when the entire sky is completely washed out with white, you lose contrast on the rest of the image. Second of all, there is a lot of corrosion and brown stains coming off of the brand new sign that the owner purchased (he’s not happy.) So, I did a few things. I first adjusted the brightness and contrast on the image to bring up the features of the building. Then, I selected the whole sky and removed all of it. Using the [Render > Clouds] Filter in Photoshop, I rendered white clouds against a bright blue sky. I then proceeded to use the clone stamp to remove the stains on the wall. Here’s the original. Here’s my modified version. (Comment on this)
