Since I have never had the opportunity to work with Mac computers, I found the this first project to be extremely challenging. Changing the number of pixels in the first row was easy for me to figure out, although I had a lot of trouble when it came down to the duotone. When I saved the picture to the computer, and was trying to paste it in my contact sheet, the computer didn’t recognize the image and it wouldn’t let me put the picture in. I tried to resave the image and change the colors of the duotone, and no matter what I did it wouldn’t recognize the image and let me paste it. I struggled with this for a while, and then tried saving it as a JEG file and it finally worked.
Everything about this project was new for me. I had never worked in photoshop before so figuring out how to use the tools and changing the pixels of a picture was something new for me. I found it very interesting that you can get a close up of a picture from another regular picture by pressing the apple button and the plus or minus sign. I played around with the dark stroke, artistic-ink outlines, and journalistic. These were all new for me and the whole experience was very helpful and it was a great introduction to photoshop
I enjoyed the purpose section where we could play around with different effects and be creative with photoshop. I spent a half hour messing around with the different techniques such as accented Edges and made a simple picture of a butterfly and a flower look really edgy and different. I liked being able to have creative freedom and designing my own pictures.
I am most proud of the abstract section of the contact sheet. I found a picture of a lady wearing a beautiful gold dress and a magnificent golden crown with a flower on it, I really like the way that it turned out when I zoomed into the crown and slowly came out to the whole picture.
If I had more time I would have changed the close up picture that I used of the roller blader. I am not particularly proud of this section because it is a picture taken from behind and it doesn't give a good example of a close up shot of something. If I had more time I would have tried to find a better picture, I believe it could have come out better if I had done that.
