Photo manipulation

In this task i am going to use Adobe Photoshop to make my images more abstract. In order to do this i will do a ‘ Conceal and Reveal’ edit where i purposely cover my image and have parts of the image showing.

I firstly chose the image i wanted to use which ended up being a spare image which was not used in any other abstract posts. I then added a new layer and a layer mask.

I then used a the paint bucket to fill in my image with black.

I also ended up changing the opacity when filling in the image so that i could see what i was doing.

Lastly, i rubbed out different parts in my image which i wanted to be viable through the black background. I then changed the opacity back down again so that the parts of the image which were not selected weren’t viable.

End image

I am really happy with this edited version of the image. I think that having the parts i chose to show through the black was a good idea due to it being very simple and also unique.
