Using pixlr.com to edit images

For images 1-3 upload your BEFORE and AFTER images.

1. Use Levels to adjust one of your images.

2. Use the Curves to adjust one of your images.

3. Use the Dodge and Burn tool to correct an overexposed or underexposed area of your photo.

4. Use your three self-portraits to create a composite.  (use handout for instructions)

5. Using the letters from Assignment #8 create a new composition spelling out your name.  (see handout for instructions)

For the next 7 images I want you to get creative, use more than one of your photographs to create new compositions.  This is a free assignment, create whatever you’d like with the knowledge you picked up today.  Use a mix of tools, filters, layers and the like.   The more creative the higher the grade!

6. Using Layer Mask create a new composition.

7.   Using the Opacity create a new composition

Also, in preparation for Assignment #11  - Due Nov. 20^th!!!!!

By now you would’ve gotten an email from me sharing a folder called “PVPFall2013” from dropbox.com.  I want you to upload 10 images that you’d like to use for the Manual Manipulation lesson.  The email should have a link that allows you to upload your images.  I’ve created a folder for each of you…so find your name and upload them there.  Be sure to bring scissors, glue, paint, brushes, and whatever else you’d like to use to manipulate these images.  You can also bring magazines or newspapers and use those as part of the assignment as well.
