Mid-Term


This originally was just a picture of a street with no signs or hydrants. I added the bald man with the green shirt up front and his shadow usign Quick Selection and Blur. I did the same with the man in the black T-shirt in the back. I then added a fire hydrant using Layer Mask. Finally, I added a "No Loitering" sign on the post.

Macro Examples



Jumping Off the Page

This is an image of a shark "jumping off the page" off onto the blue backround. I used the Paint Bucket tool to change the backround, and the Quick Selection tool to select the shark out of it's original backround.
 I also used the Effects tool to put a white out glow on the picture of the sea, and to put a shadow under the shark.

Camera Raw

This is a picture of the front of an abandoned car at Carter's Mountain. I adjusted it by putting the Saturation on zero, and adjusting the blacks to be more prominent. I used the plug-in Camera Raw.

This is a picture of the sky off of the top of Carter's Mountain. I also adjusted this one to be black and white in Camera Raw, and made the blacks darker.

This is a picture of my friend Sarah. The light was orginially too bright and over-exposed, so i used the Exposure tool in Camera Raw to make it a little bit darker. I also used the Clarity tool to make the outline of the leaves clearer and more distinct.
