I have decided that for now, these are the only parts of the Image Adjustments assignment that I'm taking on. The second image for the Curves and the all in one combination at the end, I uh, yeah no lmao. I'm giving up on those for now. Also gonna bypass the merging and liquify stuff too (I don't feel too bad about that though since I'm doing other Photoshop learning anyway in other ways through other online learning).
Really really proud of myself with the work I did here in Hue/Saturation! I was super duper close with all of them. By that I mean that for the majority, I was spot on in terms of the Hue, Saturation, and/or Brightness value. And even for those where I wasn't exact for any, was still very close, being off by a few digits or so. So, that made me feel quite good!
This two I was like so on the nose, at least that's what it looks like to me. I think mine is just a tiny bit darker in some areas still (like the mountain in the back for example, if you look really close), but still felt really good!
As you can see by the text lol, I almost gave up on this one too (for now), but eventually got it to a poitnt where I was like, "Alright, this is fine enough for me, if I keep going I'm just going to drive myself crazy," and this was already after taking like a day or two break away from it when trying my first attempt. Opposite to the Curves above, mine is more brighter or like vibrant (popping with more color?) than the original (if you look at the lemon in the top left you can tell), but oh well. Still turned out pretty nice though, ya know?
All in all (again) I'm mainly wanting to bypass the Photoshop stuff (since I'm learning from other online sources) and am really trying to get into actually drawing. So off I go to Nude Figure Drawing and Gestures!
