IMAGING WEEK 11

12th, OCTOBER 2019.

we were introduced to different ways to customize brushes. first one is shape. create any shape > Edit > Define Brush Preset > Name it. The brush picks up the shape & design but not the colour. second one is image Remove the background of the image with magic wand tool > Edit > Define Brush Preset > Name it. later you can change the colour too. last type is text Write a text in any font > Ctrl t > Click on the layer thumbnail > Edit > Define Brush Preset > Name it. This helps in saving different texts as a brush which can be used whenever and makes it more convenient.

  1. later We were told to write down five good qualities about our self.
  2. We saved the various customized texts in the brush tool.
  3. place the texts on a black background withoout leaving any space.
  4. chose a picture with a black background. (If not available we gave it a black background using the magic wand tool and then filling it in with black.)
  5. lastly, place the image on top of the text and then clip mask it. (Ctrl E helps in merging all the layers into 1.)

Content aware move tool is used to select & move a part of a picture. The image is recompose and the whole left behind is filled using matching elements from the picture.Select the area using the lasso tool > Shift + Backspace > Click OK > Mode – normal.The opacity should be 100% and high resolution pictures for image repairing. Alt + Backspace – foreground colour fill and select preserve transparency to only give colour to the brush and not the background.

Select the content aware move tool > mark the area > click on mode and select move (this will help you to move the object from one place to another) > extent mode ( this will help you to create copies of the selected object).

Clone stamp tool allows you to duplicate part of an image. select clone stamp tool > increase/decrease brush size > Alt drag to select the area you wish to clone.

I’ve used the clone tool to repair the old picture and give it a new look.
