SharpeeA-Texture


 * Final:**

In my combine three texture project I made a total of 13 changes to my final image in photo shop. First, I used the magic wand on two of images—the flower and snow—in order to crop what I wanted from the picture. Next I used the copy and paste tool to copy my cropped parts of the image onto my final image. Then I changed the opacity of my flower in order to make it a tad more faded. Next I used burn tool underneath the pasted flower in order to create a shadow affect. After that I used the blur tool on the snow cover that I pasted in order to make it a little blurred into the background. I then used the clone stamp to copy the snow cover and make an identical one. I also used the eraser tool to from the snow covers just the way I wanted them to fit on the tree. I then changed the brightness of all my pasted images in order to make them clearer to see, along with the contrast levels to look a certain way I wanted them to. Also I used the sharpen and smudge tool to bring out and blend in parts of snow covers. Lastly, I used the dodge tool in order to bring out the green moss color on my tree trunk. Also I made sure to use fill the frame on my original picture by zooming up closely on a tree trunk, capturing all of its indents, texture and color. The texture I emphasized was mostly the texture of the rigid edges of the trees trunk, but also the softness of the flower and the icy cold on the snow cover. If I were to do anything differently about this project it would be to have planned my idea out ahead of time and taken pictures based on my plan. Overall I believe I did very well on expressing texture and uniqueness in my picture.
