My self-guided project was using the same picture and altering it in photoshop however, focusing specifically on how I could manipulate and change the original colors within the photograph whether it was the subjects or background. Prior to my project I spent some time observing the art concept of color theory and how the color wheel works. This influenced me to incorporate a concept with color into my project although, I wanted my project to also be photoshop based as I haven’t done a lot of projects that way. This project reflects my personal likes as I love seeing how different colors look with each other and also how gradients work. Some new skills I learned over the course of this was: learning how to use the gradient tool and map thoroughly, how to effectively use curves and black & white adjustments, and how to use clipping masks in photoshop. I also gained knowledge of how the blending modes in photoshop work. At first I couldn’t figure out how to keep the shadows form the original picture when using the gradient tool so I learned how to use the gradient map which kept more of the originals shadows intact for background changes. My project was successful in the sense that I learned new photoshop skills and knowledge along with getting to brush up on my old skills. If I were doing this project again I would put focus into working with added shadows rather than using only the original ones and focusing only on color manipulation.
i want see what i could do with gmic starting from a little render of a simple gradient
