Photo Manipulation

Photograph Study 1

A group gathering of me and my friends, not everything that you take with a camera comes out picture perfect, depending on the environment, photography equipment and most importantly the subject you are shooting. Sometimes pictures come out to either too dark or too bright, in this particular photography, things came out a little bit too bright. To fix this I simply lowered the brightness of the entire picture, at that point I notice that one of my friend was not there when the picture was taken, so I took matters into my own hands and grabbed a picture from before of him and matched it in, using the clone stamp tool, to match the background and adjusted the hue and saturation to match both parts together. Finally I cropped the picture to bring more focus to everyone in the picture.

A lovely picture of my beautiful dog, she a white golden retriever. This picture would be perfect except that my mom pink slipper was in the background and my body scale was also in view. To combat these problem,     simply cropped it out, but the slipper was still in sight, therefore I had to use a combination of the clone stamp and paint brush to slow paint it out using a low opacity , small brush sizes and constant changing of the colours of different shades of brown, I manage to remove the slipper from the photograph. As a result the focus of the photograph is situated on my dog.
