Tom Ford Photoshop Practice

The Original Image

After the past few weeks now I am slowly starting to get the hang of photoshop, within my last photoshop seminar we were taught how to edit individual pictures with effects such as hue, saturation, sepia and luminosity and also the ability to crop and move things around. It may sound easy peasy to experienced photoshoppers but for a novice like me who is still learning it helped a lot to find out where these tools where hiding within the programme itself.

Introduction to Photoshop

As a fashion communication & promotion student, it is essential that I get to grips with photoshop and eventually (hopefully) be able to use it at a professional level. I consider myself a good 7/10 with computers and I find it relatively easy to pick up on things but photoshop is somewhat confusing having only ever used it 2 times before. As you can see by my notes I wrote everything that was going on down in order for me to attempt to do it on my own (fingers crossed). 

By the end of the tutorial seminar I created an oriental themed mood board by using such tools as creating and naming layers, distortion and the elliptical marquee tool. I found the relaxing atmosphere in which we learnt what the tools were very useful as I didn't get distracted or lost with what was happening. I also found it very easy within my group to ask others around me who had more experience with photoshop for help.
