OUGD405 - Photoshop Workshop

Sessions 1:
Non-destructable editing

Original
Proof Colours - shows what colours will be printed
Gamut warning - shows which colours are out of the range of the printer
Selecting hue - Bottom right hand corner
Changing the hue to get the colours in the range
changed hue - half the colours have been accepted, the others are not
Red colours generally work better - change hue to red - all colour is accepted
Changing the levels
Changing the levels for the picture to make the detail more obvious
Changing the brush size and hardness - 0 is best
Image with editing complete - parts of the levels mask blocked out to leave parts unaffected
Levels Part 2
Original - aim to make statue visible
Select the whole statue - quick select tool
Deselect the small areas in between the statue
Change levels - drag the shadow triangle to the left - brightens the selected area
Making a panoramic image - letting photoshop do the work
Photomerge - scans images and merges them together at the right points to create a panoramic image
Use Auto - select images - 'Blend images together'
Image when blending is complete
Cropped version
Session 2:
How to merge images together to make it look like there is no people/interference in the image
Load Files into Stack
Choosing the image files
Image once completed - over a hundred images together
Median - get's rid of everything that isn't consistent - the people
Image once done
Rasterize layer from smart layer
Sky is too dull in the last image, so from the image collection,  choose the image with the sky you want, and then 'place' - from this, get rid of everything but the sky on this image and the above happens

How to make a contact sheet
Automate - contact sheet
Choose files - change media size & resolution - change amount of thumbnails per page
Final contact sheet from photographs taken
