Topics Discussed:

• Filter Gallery
• Destructive Edit

Assignment:

Click on the picture of the pretty white rose at the bottom of this page to open the full-size copy, and save the full-size copy to your desktop. The file should be called “justrose.jpg”. Open this file in Photoshop.

Open the Filter Gallery (Filters menu -> Filter Gallery) and search through the available filters, noting the Properties panel on the right hand side for each. See how each filter affects the image, and play with the Properties sliders and controls to see how the Properties affect the filter.

Look through all the filters, and pick five that you particularly like. Remember these five for the next part of the project; write them down on a piece of paper if it helps you remember the names of the filters.

Change the rose photo using one of your favorite filters. Save the picture as a JPEG with the name of the filter you used (For example: ”Colored pencils.jpg”). Note that when you apply this filter, it will permanently change the image (unlike the Adjustment Layers that we studied earlier this week). This is known as a Destructive Edit, because it will permanently alter the image when you save the JPEG document.

Open a new copy of “justrose.jpg” and repeat this process four more times, with a different filter each time. You should have five pictures, each with a different filter, when you are done.

Design a composition in InDesign using your five different pictures. One picture should be bigger than the rest (the focal point or “dominant image”).

Pick out your favorite filter image to make the dominant image. Fill up the page with the pictures. Near each picture (using Proximity!), use the Type tool to write a caption with the name of the filter you used.

When finished, save the file as <your name>.filters.indd, export the file as a High Quality Print format PDF (File -> Adobe PDF Presets -> High Quality Print) and save the resulting PDF file to the “Adobe Photoshop 2022 – Rose Filters” assignment post on our Google Classroom page.

Topics Discussed:

• Layers
• Adjustment Layers
• Non-Destructive Edit
• Brightness & Contrast Adjustment Layer
• Vibrance Adjustment Layer
• Brightness
• Contrast
• Saturation
• Hue

Assignment:

Correct the color on all four of the files posted below. Click on each file to view the full-size version, and drag a copy to your desktop.

Using the tools and techniques demonstrated in the video and discussed in class, apply a Brightness & Contrast Adjustment Layer and a Vibrance Adjustment Layer to lighten or darken the photograph as needed, and to adjust the skin tones to look natural. Make sure your screen brightness is set to at least 50% to ensure you are seeing true color. Save each file as a .PSD file with your name in the filename, put all four files into a folder. Upload each of the .PSD files to the Adjustment Layers assignment post on the Google Classroom page.
