Liquifying.

The top image is the original that i took and the bottom image has been slightly liquified to slim the face and slightly change several features.

To edit the picture i used the Forward Warp Tool, the Pucker tool and the Bloat tool.

Final Layered Image.

This image has 2 layers to it and shows a fairly opaque landscape image over the top of a portrait image of Charlotte Davis.

Opacity.

We want to make this image so as you can see the background through it which means we have to make the top layer image more opaque.

We first choose an effect in the side bar, 'Overlay' gives a good effect as well as opacity. 

From then we can alter the opacity further until we decide that the image has the right balance of background and foreground. 

Layering Images.

The two images are both in different windows of photoshop, both on different layers. 

To get them both in the same window but on separate layers you click on and drag the image that you want to be on the top over to the other image and drop it so as it is now in the window.

The top image has now been sized to match the bottom image and has been hidden from view as it is the background layer. 

Both of the images are on separate layers and can now be changed independently. 

Comparison.

My example of a Continuous Photo.

E Muybridge's 'Placing Chair'.

     The main differences between Muybridge's work and mine are that my images are in colour whereas his images have a black and white or 'Sepia' tone to them because they were taken in the 19th Century when colour photography hadn't yet been invented. It would have been produced on black and white film whereas my images have been taken and edited digitally.
     I also have produced less images in the sequence than Muybridge as I have 8 and he has 24 which, in my opinion, is better as he has managed to capture small movements whereas mine have gaps and are fairly jumpy where the picture wasn't taken fast enough. My images are also a lot bigger in size than the ones in Muybridge's sequence as he has more of them to put on to the page whereas i have a smaller number so they can take up a larger space on the sheet.
     Although my images and Muybridge's have the same theme in it by using people, the composition of them both are very different as my images were taken outside with bright lighting whereas Muybridge's have been taken inside with fairly dark lighting in comparison.

     Our images have similar qualities in that they are both a sequence of images that are continuous and follow on one after the other which shows the movement of an object or subject matter. Also, our images have been manipulated in to a sequence together so as they have fluid movement and show clearly that the images are meant to be together in a sequence.
     We both also use the same subject of a person that is completely in all of the pictures even though they are different styles due to the year gap between where technology has advanced.
Both images also gives out the same message of movement of a person which is portrayed in both sequences and this shows how that even though we have progressed 2 centuries, that photography techniques are still very similar as well  as composition and styles.
    

Adding a Border.

To add a border to your work you have to first merge all of the image layers.

You first have to select all of the layers so as you can merge them. 

You can then go to 'Layer' and then 'Merge Layers' to make it so as al of the images on the page are now one. 

To now get the border:

You choose 'Edit and then 'Stroke so as it shows a box like this:

This box will allow you to choose the colour and thickness of the border that will be put around the picture and can also be changed at any time. When you have chosen what you want, just click n okay to save the border changes.

Using a grid.

A grid helps you to precisely centre the picture in the work area. 

To do this you have to go to 'View' and then 'Show' and from there you can choose the grid to appear over the top of the working area so as you can align your image in the centre of the paper. It puts small squares to help you and looks like this:

This image has been correctly placed in to the centre of the sheet. To help get it closer to the centre you can zoom in and align it from there.

Dragging and Dropping images in to the Photoshop window.

When you press the F9 key the open images will all appear as well as the Photoshop window. To get the images in to Photoshop you click and drag the image you want over the white window and drop it to put it in to Photoshop. This will add the image to the work space for you to change and re-size.

Paper Rotation.

To change the paper from portrait to landscape we have to choose 'Image' followed by 'Image Rotation' and then it gives you an option of how you want to change the image. We want to choose '90 CW' to change it to a landscape image.

Getting the paper format.

Getting the right paper format.

 We choose 'File' and then 'New' to bring up the options of the layout.

We select the 'International Paper' as the choice of paper.

We choose A4 as this paper is the size that is most often used.

300 resolution is the maximum size before the image will become very large and will take a long time to open as well as taking up a lot of unnecessary space on the hard drive. 300 is fine for what we will use it for.

Continuous Images.

Continuous Images edited together in Photoshop.

You have to choose 'Save As' and then from there you can alter the format from a long list of file types. Jpeg can be used to save our test photo's because they can dramatically reduce the quality of the image. For final pieces of work we can save the image as a 'TIFF' or a 'Photoshop' file for better quality. 

Change The File Name.

To change the file name you have to click once on the photo and then pause before clicking on it again. This will allow you to type the new name for the file in before you click off it and the new name is saved.
