Work by WillIn follow up to the digital photography workshop in December, this session focused on developing the imagery within Adobe Photoshop (Elements). I met with the whole group of 12 students in the IT room and using the Smart Board, worked through a few images trying out various steps within the software. We stopped to discuss what was happening to the image as each step took place. Realised defining words like Hue, Saturation, Lightness vs Brightness, Contrast, Opacity, Layers are all quite meaty and needed time to explore carefully. But these words can be related well to physical objects. Layers described as a stack of individual papers, each paper representing a different layer, each layer a different image.
Students directed me on the Smartboard, deciding what direction the image should take, colour, rotation, contrast. After looking at individual images, we talked through how to fuse two images together within one file. Familiar terms like Copy, Paste, were combined with changing opacity of individual layers, revealing the image of the bottom layer.
We created a new blank layer, added 100%colour to it and then used the rubber tool to reveal sections of layers underneath. Students experimented with the opacity of the rubber tool and the rubber diameter.
After this group demonstration, students were able to access the group's original imagery and select a range of images to develop on their own computer terminal. Students saved their own work as an image developed.
