My Favorite Possible Image

This is my favorite image which i have seen which I'm thinking of reproducing. I love the with the black and light tones. I like how the blacks are really black and there is a nice overall color in the picture. I like how it is concentrated on the eyes and I think this is a good chance to show how you can emphasize the eyes in the picture even though that the image is in black and white.
I think I might reproduce this image.

Creating 3D Images

1. Open Image in Photoshop

2. Create a background copy

3. We then click the top layer (background copy) and duplicate the layer.

4. We then select the top layer

5. We then select Image --> Adjustments --> Levels

6. We then select Channel --> Red

7. We then have to put both amounts down to 0

 8. We then have to choose the bottom layer (Background) and do the same as before with both green and blue.

 9. Put both amounts down to 0

10. Both backgrounds should then look like this. (Colour same as the 3D glasses)

11. We then have to change the layer to 'Screen'

12. We then have to use the select tool

13. And move the top layer down and slighty to the right

 14. The image will then look like this.

15. Using 3D glasses the image will look 3D.

3D Images

3D imaging, known as Stereoscopy refers to a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by presenting two offset images separately to the left and right eye of the viewer. These two dimensional images are then combined in the brain to give the perception of 3-D depth.
Besides the technique of freeviewing, which must be learnt by the viewer, three strategies have been used to mechanically present different images to each eye: have the viewer wear eyeglasses to combine separate images from two offset sources, have the viewer wear glasses to filter offset images from a single source separated to eacheye, or have the lightsource split the images directionally into the viewers eyes.

This is a camera taken from the website www.behance.net. This camera is used to create 3D photographs.

On the same website, it advertises the use of 3D glasses to reach the full potential of viewing 3D images,

Possible Final Image Choices

 I like the shadows which are produced in this photo and i like the black background against the image of the girl as she is bright and highlighted in this image whereas the background is black. This would be quite nice to reproduce with our own twist on it.

I like this image as well as I like the use of wind in it so the hair is blown back so you can concentrate on the expression on the girls face. I like how subtle her makeup is so the image looks quite natural.

 Im looking at quite a lot of different ideas for my final image choice. I really like landscapes but think they could be hard to try and reproduce and manipulate.

 I really like the reflection of the mood in the water, which could be reproduced in a different way, but also would be hard to find a place which would create a good photograph in the dark.

 I quite like the idea of focusing on beauty shots because you can focus on just the face and could reproduce and manipulate images like this quite well. These could be done in a studio by using a student or friend/family and then edit the image in photoshop.

I think i'd prefer to do a shot of just the face rather than other body parts, as you can focus on the eyes, mouth, and hair line. You could change the lip/eye colour and by doing it in the studio you can use different lights to influcuate the skin tone and eye colour.

Overall Summary

Overall, I liked the gaussian blur method because I think the blurring is subtle whereas in other images you can tell that the image has been edited a lot, whereas the gaussian blur blends in with the image. However, I also like how you can edit the lightness of the image which I would use as well because it would make the centre of the image stand out than the edge of the image.

First we uploaded an image into photoshop

We selected the Marquee tool and chose the Epiliptic tool and dragged a circle over the image.

We then chose the Feather tool, by Select --> Modify --> Feather

We then can choose how heavy we want the feathering, the higher the number the less cut and paste the image will look.

 We chose 150 because it will mean the feathering will be stronger.

We then selected the Inverse tool so the image which is on the outside of the circle will be effected.

We then used the blur tool to create a blurred effect around the outside of the image.
Filter --> Blur --> Radial Blur

We then could choose either the Spin or Zoom effect. We experimented with both.

This is the effect the 'Spin' has on the image, where the outside of the photograph looks like its been spinning around.

We then experimented with the Zoom blur tool.

This is the effect the Zoom blur tool has on the image.

Next we experimented with changing the brightness of the image and how that would look using the Marquee tool.

We did the same thing with the others with the Marquee tool selecting an area of the image.

Select --> Inverse

Select --> Modify --> Feather

We then selected Image --> Adjustments --> Hue/Saturation

We then changed the intensity of the change in brightness/contrast.

 We then tested the Gaussian Blur. Filter --> Blur --> Gaussian Blur

 We then could change the intensity of the Gaussian Blur.

 This is the final image with the Gaussian blur, with the outside of the image blurring into the centre part of the image.
