Filter Fun & Dodge & Burn (Week 9)

The first two sets of photos are my dodge and burn photos. In the pictures of the rocks I highlighted the rocks and darkened the background, especially the man who was standing on the beach. In the pictures of the door I highlighted the white frame of the door, left the door to its original color, and darkened the window.





These are my filter pictures. For the landscape with the fence and seagull I used the color pencil and artistic strokes, which I set to go diagonally. In the picture of the beach chair I used water colors and used artistic strokes again. Then I hardened the edges and increased the number of strokes to make it look more like an actual water color.

  1. Great work! Looks like you are really getting the hang of some of these tools. You should try splitting the photos into layers and put your primary focus in the foreground and then do the changes to the background and see what happens. Keep playing!

  2. I love the photo of the beach chair....the first thing that came to mind when I saw it was some kind of texture, it reminds me of a painting. Great work on it.
