Lab 3 Reflection

In this lab, we used image adjustments in Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 to make 4 different car pictures including the original one. I did this by first downloading the car.jpg on to the Macintosh Computer. After that, I opened the program Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 and gone to the top left hand corner bar to select the File tab. Next I clicked on New on the File tab to make a new Photoshop file. I named the new Photoshop file Lab 3_(my name)_VD.psd and saved it as a Photoshop document. I selected preset and next selected web. Then I set the Photoshop document to a 800 width by 600 height pixels with a resolution of 72, color mode of RGB, background white, and clicked OK to begin the assignment. I gone to the top left hand corner bar. Selected the File tab to click Place Embedded to place the car.jpg picture into Photoshop. Afterwords I changed the car.jpg image size to a new size of of 250 by 186. Therefore, I moved the car.jpg to a new place and duplicated the layer of the car.jpg 4 times to have 4 cars including the original image. I clicked on layer 1 on the layers tab on the right, clicked on it's car.jpg image, and used the move tool of Photoshop to move it to the top left. Clicked on layer 2 and used the move tool to have layer 2 overlapping the bottom right hand corner of layer 1. I did the same for the rest off the layers from top to bottom overlapping each other. After that I used a nondestructive technique to decrease the reds in the layer for layer 4 and renamed the layer to Black and White. Next I used a nondestructive technique to increase the color saturation of layer 3 and renamed it to Saturation. For layer 2, I rasterized the layer and replaced the color of the car in to any color I chose which I chose yellow. I renamed layer 2 to Replace Color. For layer 1 I used a nondestructive tool to change the hue of the layer and renamed the layer to Hue. Lastly I added text boxes under the duplicated car.jpgs that says their name. These skills are important because it teaches the web designer how to overlay images in their projects. Furthermore theses skills can improve a web designer's performance when doing art based projects that require Photoshop. Also, it will help web designers do their jobs a bit easier.
