Week 7 presentation was all about improving our skills using photoshop and focusing on colour and image correction. As a result of this I chose to edit two pictures that I took, one of Jude taking a picture of Oliver, and another of my picture of Hillsborough Stadium during Leeds United’s 2-0 win on the 8th March 2024.
After we went through the Power point slides and learn’t more skills to use on Photoshop, we began to edit our photos.
With the first image I decided to reduce the brightness a bit, as the picture was taken outside it was fairly bright, so by reducing the brightness I think it brought out more quality in the picture.
With my second picture that I decided to edit (Hillsborough Stadium), the first task was to convert the picture to landscape from portrait. I then decided to change the colour a bit in my picture. The colour that I solely focused on was the football pitch (green). I decided to make the shade of green a bit brighter to make the pitch look more prominent. After that, I decided to reduce the contrast on the brightness, this made the shade of green look even more prominent, as it took away the brightness of the floodlights.
