working with raw files, processing them & working with raw file editor/photoshop

For todays lesson with Steve, we basically got another introduction to photoshop but it was more mostly how to process & edit raw files, using the pre-loadout/raw file editor which is just outside of photoshop. It is accessed via opening multiple files at the same time. I had to get some raw files off of sSteve as i didnt have my own ones to test this. Even though it wasn't photoshop exactly we was using, even though we had to pre-load photoshop to get the editor up, it gave us, especially me, in using photoshop to edit photos as i do not have much if not any experience in using photoshop. These screenshots show the process in what to do to get the raw file editor up. You will also find screenshots of the original photos before i test edited them & after i had test edited. Also once i had edited them, to save them to my USB, i had to change the file save from .Raw to .tif; the reason being for this is to save the quality of the photo meaning so that once its printed it comes out better & not just one colour like red.

i found this lesson very useful as i feel coming out of it i have developed my skills in using photoshop in some way.

digital 3d

Digital 3d the technique for this photo is called 3d mesh, it is a technique that is done in photoshop by converting one or 2 layers & greyscale. link to instructions on how to do it - https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/creating-3d-objects-animations-photoshop.html i would use this technique in my work, to give one of my photos a 3d look, this being to make it stand out more & to give it a trippy affect

Monday Library Visit With Steve

On mondays lesson, with Steve we went to the library, the purpose of this was to do more research for our current learning subject of Order & Chaos photography. As we had already done research using computers & created mood boards of sorts, but this time it was to mostly collect pictures & research a different way, well collect research that is accurate as the internet can be decieving but it was mostly to get ideas for what we want to do for our own attempt at order & Chaos (we do not have to both we can do either one).

Kaleidoscope

For this lesson i was set a task of creating a a kaleidoscope image using a DNG file (or the option of using a RAW file is also there) in photoshop. for those that do not know, a Kaleidoscope image is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces, which are tilted to each other in an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of the mirrors, that being the image which is used, are seen as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to the repeated reflection. it is also dubbed as the kaleidoscope effect. This is the first time i had ever tried to create this process with a photo, plus during the lesson i also learnt what kaleidoscope is and what its definition, and its other known variations, especially as for years before i kept hearing the term kaleidoscope, and i had no idea what it was. For the process of creating the kaleidoscope image, i struggled may times, and did a few slip ups, as the image would not flip the way i want...
