Photoshop!

Yesterday for visual communication lesson, I learnt how to to use adobe photoshop to edit photographs and create paintings! It was an very engaging lesson, as we got to apply the various tools to create effects in our photographs, much to my amazement.

Before the lesson, I never knew that we could even edit a picture of someone with a bad skin condition, and transform the person's face into one that is flawless and impeccable, by using the spot healing brush tool. Another interesting tool I used was the clone stamp tool, and I was amused that we could actually edit the picture such that the subject of the photograph will have extra ears or eyes.

Now that I have learnt how photoshop works, it makes me wonder whether the models seen in advertisements actually have good figures and exquisite skin as seen, or whether their pictures were actually photoshopped so that they will look more flattering. Something compelling to think about. (:

Anyway, this is the photo that I edited during the lesson!
