Photoshop for Digital Production Assignments

Excercise 1 - Pen Control
For this exercise I tried with a size 1, 2, and 3 round brush

Exercise 2 - Image Adjustments
I had a pretty easy time matching the circles, they were all very close. I got the first set of corrections pretty close with minimum difficulty, but the last image I had trouble with, had to restart a number of times and got it "close" enough to call it good, but those cyans are definitely too bright still.

Exercise 3 - Combining Images
Had some fun with this one. Took multiple pictures of castles that were similar in tone and structure, and some rocks and waterfalls and threw a moon in there. Definitely not perfect, but pretty pleased with the outcome.

Exercise 4a - Apples
Mo apples, nuff said.

Exercise 4b - Old and Young
I wouldn't call this end product good per-se, but I was laughing the whole way through. Guess that happens when you fuse Juaquin Phoenix and Julie Andrews.

Exercise 4c - Liquify
In all my years of photoshop, I have not once used liquify. The learning curve for this one was a tad out of my zone -- I can see how it would be useful, but I definitely need more practice with it. I mapped an orc face to some guy.
