The picture I chose I am not going to use in my website. I just really like the picture, the colors in it, and I thought it would be fun to manipulate in photoshop. Here is the origial pic . . .
•I then placed the image into photoshop in a 5x7, 72 resolution, and RGB color.
•The first thing I did was go to the filter gallery, brush strokes, and selected ink outlines. This made the image darker in most areas.
•I then took the smudge tool to bring some of the inside color outwards. Then I took the paintbrush tool (a transparent spray paint) and added some yellow throughtout the picture.
•I found a cloud image on that I wanted to use as a background, so I placed that behind the image I was manipulatiing. Using the magic wand and lasso tool I selected what I didnt want and deleted it to show the cloud background coming through.
•I wasnt really happy with the image yet so I went back into the filter gallery to texture and selected craquelure.
•Finally I selected layer styles, drop shadow and adjusted the blend mode, distance, spread, opacity, noise, distance, spread, and size

I really liked the outcome of your picture...it looks like a giant fire-burst in the sky, and the contrast between the background and the foreground really helps show all of your manipulations. Hopefully I'll be able to use photoshop the way you do soon, regretablly I'm still learning pretty much everything. :) too bad your site isn't on sea urchins, cause this would make a pretty interesting picture! ha ha
I enjoy what you have done with this image... It looks real interesting. I like what you have done with the colors in the modified copy. It seems as if you can depict the image as something totally different than the original. I'm sure working in the same area of the classroom as you I will pick up on some of your techniques. Good work!!
