LECTURE

During week 4, there is no class at the time due to a public holiday so the lecture for that week gets push back and we learn this on week 6. Here, we get to learn additional features of Photoshop. We learn to use adjustment layers and filters.
Adjustment Layers - Adjustment layers are a non destructive photo editing tool, the layer can be deleted to revert the photo back it's original appearance.

Property panels show a specific type of adjustment you want to select such as exposure, brightness, selective color and etc.
 
Brightness and Contrast - Brightness adjust the highlight of the photo and contrast adjust the shadow.
Level - Adjust the level of mid tones, shadows and highlight.
Curves - Allows you to adjust several points at once and much more precise in editing the tone of an image.
Exposure - Exposure lets you adjust exposure levels with three sliders: Exposure, Offset and Gamma. Exposure adjust the highlight of the photo, Offset adjust mid tone while Gamma adjust dark tones only.
Selective Color - Selectively modify a primary color without affecting the other colors.


In addition to adjustment layer, we also learn about filters. Filter are special feature that can be use add effects such as change color, add blurs or custom image effect.

Through this exercise, I have relearn some of things I may have forgotten about in Photoshop and I am starting to get the handle of the various function. Not only that, there are also some additional things I have learnt from this exercise such as masking and magic wand. What is the difference a pen tool and quick selection pen etc.

I choose technology for my part and to get research about the AR glasses this company uses. I – Interpret the events The reason why I decided to move is because my first group does not ...
