Photo Shop Day One

1. Resize to 5 x 7 jpeg
Here I simply went into "Image" and resized the given photo without problem with 72 pixels to make it web friendly.





2. Crop the Image
I decided to crop what I felt to be the most "active" part
of the given photo to try and give the
photo a more lively
and textured feeling.







3. Alter contrast
Here I changed the brightness to negative 150 and the contrast to 100% to make the once sunny setting into a sunset one.





4. Black and White
Here I created a black and white photo by using the black and white option and then changing the contrast to 100% for a more dramatic effect.





5. Stamp Tool

Although due to size it's difficult to see, I used the stamp tool to copy other part of the photo and effectively edit out the small blue boat in the background.




6. Be creative!
For the last photo I decided to combine skills. I first cropped the photo and then increased both the brightness and contrast. I then explored and found the photo filter tool and added a red haze over the photo. I'd like to think the effects give the photo a hot southern day feel.
