Everybody's changing, and I still feel the same.






I tried mixing faces up landscape and portrait to see which looked better.







I then tried adding and taking away colour.





These are the pictures I used.


These are the final images.

I then had a go at erasing my friends lips and nose and then adding a skull.

Macro, but not.

The first thing you do is load a photo in Photoshop, and duplicate the layer. (CMD J)

Then add a layer mask.


Then switch the fore/background colour to black by clicking the little arrows.
And then fill in the layer mask in black.

Then go to Filter, Blur and then Gaussian Blur.
Then add loads of pixels, but just enough so that you can still tell what the picture of of.


Then click on the layer mask and click the paint bucket onto the picture and the blur will go.

Then click on the Gradient tool.

Make the foreground white, and then change the gradient tool so that it fades from white to transparent. 









Then click and drag the curser and add blur to where ever you want.

This is my final image.

Ideas and my final image.

Our final image has to have the minimum of 50 images included in it. I have come up with a few ideas that I could do:

- The whole front of the college
- Cutlery
- Myself
- My room
- Cameras
- My close

All images are to be shot in small JPEG files on our cameras so that when we merge all the images on Photoshop it doesn't become a massive sized file.

A good joiner image should include:
-A landscape or enviroment
-A person
-Involve the viewer, in the style of David Hockney (i.e feet or hands in shot)


I decided to have a go with the windmill because I thought that it would be really interesting to see how the different angles and shapes turned out in a montage.
I think I took about 84 pictures, small picture quality.








This is the pictures being loaded into Photoshop to be merged.








This is my second attempt with the classroom. Your final image has to include a body part of some kind so I used my feet.




This is the final image, I don't think it worked out how I thought it would.
