This session marked our first time actually having a go with Photoshop in order to edit our raw photos. This was the part I was looking forward to the most as I felt that I needed to improve my Photoshop skills as it seems like something that, as a film student, I really should need to know. So what we did was take a simple photo of a peer and then spent the rest of the session manipulating it in Photoshop for a desire effect.
As you can see, the subject stands out tremendously from the background and I have stylised him with harsher dark colours and an also comic book like edge around the details. I really like this effect as it makes the subject pop out instantly and your eye is only attracted to him and not the background. You'd have to focus hard to look at the background after I blurred it. Initially, I just wanted to blur the background but after learning more skills, I came out with this and it looks better for it. Masking was the most useful skill that I picked up from this session and I aim to make much more use of it in the future.
