I don't know what it is but I've seen worst pinky.

 

[Killswitch]

Looks pretty whatever it is. Whereve you been?

 

[pink]

Pretty.

Thank you, my coloring skills....not good.

It's a flower, silly. They gave us a picture and we were supposed to improve it.

Hi KS. Lurking mostly. I've been feeling really quiet.

The original picture was given to us for us to improve upon. Not sure if I improved upon it or not but it was fun to work on. Plus I have to write 2 to 3 paragraphs on why I chose it, what I did to it, the contrast, the color, what the original picture had right about it, what it had wrong about it, etc, lots more stuff I won't bore you with.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hence, I would just move on and experiment and find out what you like and have fun doing it.

Me likey. Good job!

I was going to say, one usually needs to see the original image to judge the skillful application of Photoshop tools. Apart from fine art manipulation of Photoshop for creative expression, the more utilitarian value is in adding or removing image content without the slightest evidence of the retoucher's intervention.

Good luck with that! I'm guessing that will be a major determinant of your final grade.

I like it a lot, but the coloured drops could do with some very subtle high & low lights, so that they look more a part of the picture.

When I zoomed in on your pic, I noticed that you just painted colored blobs onto some of the dew drops. I'd recommend that you set each layer of colored blobs to overlay or color and then tweak the transparency to fine tune the effect. This would let the underlying image show through. Here's an example:

Me likey. Good job!

Did you notice the raster layers?

 

[pink]

Sorry guys, don't know how to do that. As I said, new to Photoshop. The class is Design101, they don't expect much.


and yes, MelloSixtyNine, that is the original.

 

[QuietLibrarian]

I'm not sure if this comment is helpful or not because I don't know the effect you were ultimately trying to achieve, but I like it.

The dots remind me of birthday cake sprinkles. ~ Very *happy*.

So even if you do think it needs improvement, I'm not laughing or pointing fingers.

As with most things all that matters is to enjoy what you're doing. Expertise comes later.

You are correct, dear Sir. I did my best and had fun. I just don't know how to make the rain drops shiny.

Mello told you.

Making your overlay varying degrees of transparent can do wonders.

I don't use PhotoShop, I use CorelDraw. The same functions are there, they just call them different things.

What I do know is the computer-assisted drawing programs are like prosthetics for the artistically handicapped. I can't draw a damn thing with pen and paper. Leastwise, nothing I like. The ability to use all of the functions just comes with practice.

Keep at it, and have fun.

I just puked up my pills @ $8.00 each, you bastard!

Telling =/= Doing

Photoshop has a hellishly long learning curve.

Im sure there are hundreds of good tutorials and photoshop for dummies type videos on youtube.

I watch all kinds of videos for projects I have and such and find them most helpful.

You do have photoshop on a computer at home you can use, yes?

Yes, I do but there is a lot to Photoshop and with my being in school, I honestly don't have time to learn the in's and out's right now. I've got my hands full with assignments right now.


As I already stated this is only Design101, they aren't expecting a perfect project.
