- First, I took this picture of a bunch of panda bears
{I used the smudge tool, burn tool, and pinch and bloat tools to blur the outside pandas. And I used the dodge tool to brighten the spot on the single panda.}
- Then, I edited this firework
into this
{I used the pinch and bloat tools to make the firework look distorted and wiggly, then I took the brush tool with a blue color at a low opacity to tint it blue, as well as adding dabs of white and yellow spots at an even lower opacity. I had to use a black brush to clean up the edges from my tinting, as well.}
- Finally, I went very basic with this cupcake drawing I found
turning it into this
{I used the brush tool a lot, to remove the cherry and rebuild the top of the cupcake, to add the confetti dots around it, and to round to bottom corners of the wrapper out. I used the line tool to create the creases in the cupcake wrapper, to straighten the bottom of the wrapper, and for the sprinkles. I also used the color picker tool to make sure I used the same brown for the frosting and when I added the creases I just darkened the pink of the wrapper.}
Photo editing is kind of fun once you know what you're doing. After getting over the initial frustration and gaining a simple understanding of what the different tools abilities were I had a lot more fun with this assignment. It would be cool to let students use photo editing to illustrate their creativity. It can be hard to think up something unique to draw or create on your own, but letting students take some ordinary picture and change it to something new, seems like a good way to exercise their imaginations!
