Photoshop:
My first attempt of the photo gallery was created on photoshop. I first had to open up google to search ‘Blank gallery space’ to find my background. after I chose the one that is shown above, I put it into photoshop and then went to my files to open the image I wanted to present. the images I chose were ones that I had edited previously on Lightroom. I got my images from Lightroom which were already edited beforehand and imported them into photoshop. I used ‘control T’ to highlight the imported image to be able to move it to where I needed it. I also used the Ctrl icon when adjusting the image to make the angles change and for the photo to sit nicely on a wall. Using a drop shadow effect, I could make the image look more realistic and 3D when on the wall.
In the screenshot below, it shows how I was able to create the drop shadow on the images to make them more look like a photo on a wall. all I had to do was double click on the layer I wanted to edit and then tick drop shadow at the bottom. from there, I was able to adjust the amount of shadow and the angle I wanted it at.
Artsteps:
This was my attempt of the photo gallery using Artsteps. This was an easier process than photoshop as you can move around and choose the wall you want your image on while being in a large space. it doesn’t involve the added work of adjusting the image to a certain angle on a wall ands you can also add your own borders. You are also given the option to add more fixtures for your photos to go on so I experimented with that and added 2 walls on top of each other in the middle of the room. I chose my favourite photos from my Still Life Nostalgia photoshoot and then my favourite photos from my Formalism/Tools photoshoot.
Evaluation
Overall, I like how my gallery turned out on Artsteps. I like the gallery space I chose as I have a lot of areas to choose from and add my images to. I prefer this more than photoshop as its an easier process and on photoshop the angles of the images sometimes don’t turn out right or look the wrong angle.
