Photoshop Experimentation

EXPERIMENTING

This lesson I experimented with using Photoshop and a variety of different tools which altered the already abstract images to make them even more abstract. In each image I played around with changing the color balance and changing the hues of photos. I also explored using the magnetic lasso tool and what its capabilities it has in Photoshop. I used the crop tool in order to give interesting perspectives and cropping away unnecessary parts that did not add to the photo or disturbed it.

The end result of experimenting with Photoshop was a variety of very abstract and interesting photos which have become more unique and distinctive. They took the photos from being average to something that is more worth while looking at.

my first experimental photo, i only played around with the concept of changing the color hue and saturation, highlights and shadows, and exposure.
in this photo i changed the hue of the photo to a very warm pink and I also shifted the color balance to magenta.
This was my final photo I edited and changed. Here i experimented more with layers and adding extra abstract features to the photo.
Stage 1, cropping and adjusting tilt
Stage 2, shifting the color balance to pink on the photo and also increasing the exposure in order to brighten the colors.
Stage 3, using the magnetic lasso tool in order to trace around the painting and move it upwards. I added a bright orange into the backdrop which appears as I selected and moved the painting layer.
