Assignment 3 Photo Manipulation Assignment

First photograph is taken in the Canadian National Exhibition in last summer.

At first, I made it brighter by increasing exposure because it was dark.

Next, I increased contrast in order to erase wrinkles on his forehead.

Finally, I applied Heart's Desire effect in order to emphasize the couple.

That effect can adjust Focal size and create Fade for a subtle look,

so I adjust focal size to the same size as couple's face, and put dark fade for background.

Next photograph is taken in Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park in Orlando, Florida last Christmas.

At night the street was fully illuminated. It was a really beautiful and fantastic scene, so I took the picture.

I want to express this fantastic view by editing the photo.

To start off I made it darker by decreasing exposure because I wanted to erase the fence at the bottom and lines between angels.

Secondly, I increased contrast so that subjects stand out and colours get a little bit warmer.

However I still wanted to make the angel wings colour warmer because I wanted to emphasize the angels.

Finally, I applied a strong Boost effect which enhanced contrast and it allowed to adjust the strength of contrast. Therefore, I succeeded to create an intense orange colour to make the wings stand out more.

I think after editing the image, it looks more fantastic.

The last picture taken was in a golf course in Florida last winter.

It was my first golf experience and I had so much fun.

Therefore, my editing theme is expressing this fun time through the image.

Firstly, I increased its contrast and cut off the bottom and top in order for the subject to stand out.

Next, I adjusted the white balance by increasing saturation to enhance its colour.

Because the weather was so nice, the green leaves of the trees contrast well with the blue sky.

After that, I applied a Polaroid flame, smile stickers and text, because I wanted to create a fun image.
