Lecture 1: Introduction to Photoshop

During the first day of the week learning digital imaging and visualization, we stayed in the design Mac lab and were introduced to a software called Adobe Photoshop. The lecturer then introduced the different types of tools that we will normally encountered whenever we are designing. The tools were the move tool, eyedropper tool, brush tool and the clone stamp tool. Aside from that, we also learnt the function of setting the foreground and background color, inserting new layer and adding some layer mask. We played a lot in the blending mode layer especially when we are playing with the colors. Above all, as a designers we were taught on how to use the shortcut keys in order to make it a lot easier and time saver when we are designing.

Practical 1: Introduction to Photoshop

As the lecturer explained, we were all asked to open our web browser and searched black and white portrait and colored it. The lecturer taught us step by step on how to color it and how to use the blending mode. I chose random portrait and colored it with the color that I think it looks best.

 Exercise 1: Color Restoration in Photoshop

On that day itself before our class ends, we were given an assignments where we should color a black and white image with a reference colored picture. The color that we need to use should refer to the colored picture we chose from the web browser. For that, I chose a black and white boat image (Fig.1.1). (https://alfa-img.com/show/black-and-white-boat.html)
Fig. 1.1 Black and white boat image

As I started to color my image, I chose three colored picture to be my color references that I will use. Below are the picture's color used.
  
        Fig. 2.1                                                                           Fig. 2.2                                                     Fig. 2.3

 Fig. 2.1 Took the idea of the sky as well as the color          
 Fig. 2.2 Took the color of the shore  
Fig. 2.3 Took the color of the brown boat

By the time I have the color references from the three images (Fig, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3), I make sure that the format is in RGB not in gray scale so that when I color my image it won't turn to black and white color even though I have selected different types of colors.

Fig. 3.1 Colored the boat and use color burn blending mode layer
Before I color my boat (Fig. 3.1), I go to the bottom right and select the icon creating a new layer. Afterwards, I use the eyedropper tool to get the specific color from the color reference image and use the brush tool and start to color it. Since, the color is not blended well, I make use of the blending mode layer and change it to color burn.

Fig. 4.1 Colored the sky using the two images shown at the side for the reference color

Fig. 4.2 Colored the sky and use difference, overlay and multiply blending mode layer

Fig. 5.1 Colored the shore using the image at the side for the color reference

Fig. 5.2 Colored the shore and use color dodge and multiply blending mode layer

Fig. 5.3 Colored the shore with the help of the picture itself, layer mask and adjust the opacity to 80%. 


As I worked on coloring the shore, I drag the picture on the left side using move tool and I make use of the picture to help the picture colored. I use the mask layer and use the brush to color the unwanted part as well as I erase some of the parts. I also adjust the opacity to 80%.
