Disappear

 Disappear Assignment

This Assignment is one of my most favourite assignments; because we could choose our own pictures, and make the most important in that picture disappear.

Here are some images that I considered of using:

I didn’t choose this picture because this image would have been too easy, because all I would’ve been doing was replacing the tiger with the clouds. This image would look very good if I chose this but I wanted something that is not that hard or difficult.

This picture was the first image that I considered doing because it would be very noticeable if I removed the homeless man and it looked very easy to do. At the end I didn’t do this image because there weren’t any spots to replace the man, and that the man took up most of the space of the bench.

The picture I choose was the picture of three kids running in the beach. I choose this image for this assignment, because this image was really appealing and it wasn’t too easy or that difficult.

One of the hardest parts of this assignment was replacing the boy on the left, because he was the biggest of the 2, and he took up most of the space. Because the boy on the left is the biggest he had took up most of the important areas of the background, for example he blocked small parts of the ship behind him, and also the sea. Replacing the sea behind that boy was difficult, because the water on the left was a dark blue, and on the right was very whitish-bluish, and in-between the boy on left was when both colors meet and mixed.

In conclusion this assignment has taught me how to use the stamp clone tool fully, and had also showed me how to make images disappear using the clone tool rather than using it to restore a image.

Restoration Lady

      Damaged Photograph

The second picture that I was told to restore was the picture of a lady. This picture is my second time using the clone stamp to restore/fix a picture. This picture was the most challenging to restore, because this picture has most damaged areas then the four men picture that I had restored.  The most damaged areas in this picture were mainly the shoulder and her clothes, because there were many missing areas.

The first area I fixed was the background, because it was the easiest and the fact that I would not be too distracted by the background. The next area I fixed was the face and hair of the lady, because  there was lesser damaged area and is funner.

Last and not least is fixing the clothes/shoulder. This area was the most challenging because the shoulder was the most damaged area, overall of the photograph, and also there was a limited replacement area that matches the shoulders.

Overall this photograph was the most challenging and the most enjoyable picture I fixed because it was the most difficult, and     it  had also made me think, and find the solutions for the problems. The ending result is very rewarding and had made me have a slight interest in restoring photographs using photoshop.                                                           

First Digital Art Assignment

Restoration:

Four Man Group

Our First assignment for my Digital art class was to restore or fix an old damaged picture, using a program called Photoshop.

Using a tool called the clone stamp, I had slowly repaired this picture on Photoshop by using this tool to clone undamaged parts and replacing it with the undamaged parts.

The first picture that I was told to repair was the picture of four men.

When I first saw this picture, my first reason was how could I fix this picture? Do I paint over the damaged area with the paint brush? Or do I replace the damaged area with similar colors of the image. The solution toward this problem was to use the clone stamp and select the most resembling undamaged area and replace it with it.

The final outcome of this picture is very great because this was my first attempt at using a clone stamp to restore a picture, and the final outcome was very rewarding because the final picture looked liked it was never damaged.

One of my dislikes of this assignment was restoring the men’s faces and clothes. I dislike restoring it, because there are not many undamaged areas that matches several damaged skin parts, and that it is hard finding several clothes parts that matches the damaged clothes parts, for example shadows of the pants or the sleeves of the shirt

In conclusion this assignment was one of the most different and interesting assignment I had ever done, from using the stamp clone tool to fix the clouds to using other similar patterns to replace a damaged area, this assignment is a very new and great learning experience.
