Final 4

 

Final 4

 



 

This is the fourth image that I am going to be edting into a black and white image.









 For this image I am going to use the channel mixer technique. To do this, I went into adjustment layer and clicked on channel mixer.










When the box appears the first thing to do is to tick the box next to monochrome to turn the image black and white.

 

The next thing i did was move the colour levers to how i wanted the image to look, making sure that the total percentage was at 100.











This is the finished image. I like how this image has turned out as the black and white effect has made the image look old which is effective as the rabbit in the image looks old and worn out.

This is the third image that I am going to edit into a black and white image for my finals.

To begin with, I went into adjustment layer and clicked on black and white.

 

 

When this box appears I can move the levers to change of shades of colour in the image.

 

I have changed the shades of colour in the shades of the colour in the image. The changes are clear as the image is now a lot brighter.

 

 This is the image completed. I'm pleased with how this final has gone as I like the outcome of the black and white effect.

Second final image

 

 

 

 

 

This is the image that I am going to be editing into black and white.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have experimented with different black and white techniques for this image.

 

Black and White











Channel Mixer

 

Gradient Map

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

Hue and Saturation










I decided for this image that I am going to use gradient map.



To use gradient map, I went ino adjustment layer and clicked on gradient map.

When this box appears I clicked inside the colour section.

From clicking inside the colour section, another box will appear. With this box, you can use the levers on the bottom black and white section to change the image.

 As you can see, I have now changed the levers on the bottom black and white section to create my black and white image.











I now have my second final black and white image.

 

 

 

 

 





Finals

 

Final 1

First final image.

 

For my finals I have decided to do the technique black and white imagery. I have chosen to do this as I like how images look when they are black and white.

 

 
 

 

 

This is my first image that I am going to edit. First of all, the bin the background of the image is quite distracting so I am going to crop it out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have now cropped the bin out of the image. The next thing to do is to make the image black and white.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To make the image black and white, I went into adjustment layer and then clicked on black and white.

 

A box would have appeared and from here I can change the shades of colour in the image by moving the levers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here I have moved the levers to create the black and white image how I want it to look.

 

 This is my first final image completed. 

Designing a magazine cover using black and white imagery

 

Magazine cover using black and white imagery

 

In Photoshop, I designed a magazine cover for the magazine 'Cosmopolitan' using different black and white imagery techniques.

 

Black and white

 

The first technique I used was black and white. The image above. shoes the outcome. I like to use this technique as it gives you the opportunity to change the shades of colour to how you want it to look.

 

Channel Mixer

 

 

I then chose to experiment with the channel mixer. With channel mixer I could change the shade of colours to make my own black and white image. I think this technique for the magazine cover is better than the black and white technique as it makes the image more brighter and clearer.

 

Gradient Map

 

 

I also chose to experiment with gradient map. I don't really like the way this image has turned out using this technique because it completely takes away any detailing in the face and is way too bright. I also don't like how the clothing on the right arm has been faded into the background so you can't see it.

 

Hue and Saturation

 

 

The last technique I decided to experiment with was hue and saturation. I like the tone of the black and white but the image looks too dark so I wouldn't use it as a magazine cover.

 

Overall I think my experiments with the black and white techniques went well. If I was to chose a technique to use for this I would chose channel mixer as the image is bright and the detailing can still be seen.

 



Black and White

                                                   Black and White Techniques



 

 

Original Image





 



Black and White

To get this black and white image you go into adjustment layer and click on black and white. You can then change the shades of colour that was in the image by moving the levers.

This image brings out a lot of detail on the building compared to the original. It gives an historical feel. I like the contrast between the dark sky and the bright building, gives the image effect.

Channel Mixer

To get this black and white image you also have to go into adjustment layer,then click on channel mixer and click the box by monochrome to turn it on. Similar to the black and white technique, you change the shade of colour by moving the levers, so you get the opportunity to create your own black and white image. But you do need to have the total percentage on 100.

I think that this technique makes this image look boring as it is all the same tone of black and white.

 



 

Gradient Map

To get this image you go into adjustment layer and click on gradient map and then click inside the colour section. This will then give you a gradient editor which you use the levers on the bottom to change the image.

This image has completely gotten rid of the sky which I like because I want the focal point to be on the building. I also like the detailing you can see in this image.

 



 

 Grayscale

To get this image you go into image, mode and then click on grayscale. When the message pops up you choose discard. You are then left with your black and white image.

I think that this is the easiest technique to do as it is very simple, and I also think that it gives you just a basic black and white image.

Hue Saturation

To get this image you go into adjustment layer and go on hue saturation. You move the saturation lever all the way to the left and then click ok. Then you will be left with your black and white image.

Again, this technique is simple and easy to do. I think that it is quite similar to the grayscale technique, however this image is lighter.

 



Lab Colour

To get this image you go into image, mode and then choose lab colour. You then go into channels and click on the box that says 'lightness'. After you've chosen that you go back into image, mode but click on grayscale, press ok to the message that comes up.

I like this image. I think it gives a good historical feel and all the detail in image is there.

 

Beauty Retouching

 

 

Beauty retouching

 

 

Every image that you see in magazines, news papers, adverts or on the internet would have been taken into Photoshop and edited.

 

 

Like this image for example, you can see the before stage and the after stage and there are a lot of changes that have been made.

The first thing that I can see that has been changed, is that some of her hair has been edited out, I guess this was done so it look like the hair is up and is more professional.

Also her face has had a lot of retouching done to it. Her skin looks completely different in the after image. The lighting on her face has been changed and the colour of her lips are more pink. Colour balance could have been used to change these. There are also a few eyebrow hairs that have been edited out, the clone tool could have been used here.

 

I think this image has been manipulated for make up advertisement. I think this because of the way her skin has been perfected so much.
