My aim is to create 2 altered landscapes which can be presented together that feature all of the industrial areas in Jersey.

Editing Process

Edit 1

To create my base image, I merged the following:

This is the result:

I opened this image in photoshop and, although I liked the stream, I felt like it wouldn’t have went with the theme I was going for so I used the Content Aware Fill feature to remove it, as well aa the fence, house and building. This was my result:

As you can see, it is not the best standard, however, this floor won’t be seen when the montage is completed. By removing this stream, it gives me a lot more space and opportunity to be able to make this piece even better.

After this, I added my first layer, the quarry. I cropped this part from a different image and pasted it onto this then used the eraser tool to clean it up a bit. I then aligned it where I would like it and lowered the brightness so the colour was more similar. Once I was satisfied with it, I used AI to merge the quarry into the hill and, at first, it created trees so I then told it to remove them.

Next, I cropped out a pile of waste and a pile of gravel which I took at La Collette and aligned them where I would like them. I then decided here that I think it would look good to make the floor of the entire image gravel so I played around a bit with the generative fill until I was happy with it.

I then cropped some cyclinders from Bellozanne and a pile of granite from St Ouen from photos I took and pasted them into my edit. After doing this, I put them where I would like them and slightly distorted the cylinders so they looked more in place.

One I had done this, I tidied up the parts which I cropped then used Generative fill to create tyre tracks in the floor.

Finally, I added the tower from La Collette behind the hill and flipped it horizontally, changed the perspective and skewed it. To finish off, I increased the brightness and this is my finished product:

Edit 2

I have done this edit during our mock exam and during my first few steps the blog was down, therefore, I couldn’t record my progress. This is what I have done so far:

Within this time, I used an image of the dam and added two buildings from Bellozanne on one side and a random ploughed field from St Peters on the other. For the field, I distorted and warped it to match the slope then used AI to make it blend in at the bottom. Finally, I also used AI to remove the building at the bottom of the dam and the flowers which were on the grass.

In addition, I used AI to replace the grass with a road, however, doing this inspired me to try make it a river.

I have played around with AI and made the sides of the river muddy.

After a bit more playing around with generative fill, here is my result:
