Layers Correction; Sept. 19/2010


This assignment was about using layers to create a more dramatic picture, without the fake colours that come into the picture during the editing process. Using the dodge and burn tool emphasizes some parts of the picture and make others less noticable and more bright, for example, brightening the lower half of the picture to draw more attention to the dark mountains and sky.

Duotone- Quickmask ; Sept. 9/2010



This assignment was an example of using the quick mask mode tool. The reason why quick mask mode was used is to help clear attention to the foreground. This is done by softening the background to draw the attention towards the foreground, and the part of the picture most ideal for visualizing. The duotone colour was also edited into the image to create a better mood and a warmer picture than just black and white.
