Week 4 Assignment 1: Improve a Landscape with Warming Photo Filters and Create a Sepia Toned Photo
Photoshop CS3 Creative Photographic Techniques with Chris Orwig
Watch the following tutorials from section 2 Creative Color:
2.4 Warming photo filters
2.6 Sepia tone
1) Using a photograph from your own camera, follow along with Chris and customize a landscape photograph with warming photo filters.
2) Using a separate photograph, follow along with Chris and create a digitally sepia toned photograph.
In the video tutorial Chris starts with a black & white photograph so you should do the same. To turn your photo into a black and white, open the image in Photoshop then, from the pull down menu, do: Image > Adjustments > Desaturate. Notice, this is not an Adjustment Layer so this is a permanent change to the original image, so to safeguard your original file, do: File > Save As and save it with an alternate file name. Now you have a black and white photo, you are ready to follow along with Chris and create a sepia toned image.

To turn in your assignment post before and after jpeg images to your Picasa account. You should post a before and after landscape that has been improved with the warming photo filter and a before and after sepia toned image too. Total images uploaded to Picasa equals 4. Your photos may be very large in file size, so it is okay if you want to lower the image resolution before uploading. To lower resolution: do an Image > Image Size, check resample image, and lower the total pixel dimension to under 1000 wide or tall.
Week 4 Assignment 2: Create a Partially Colored Black and White Photograph Using Layer Masks
I want you to create an image, manipulated in Photoshop, where only the subject of the image is in color. Think of a wedding portrait where everything is black and white except for the bride and groom or a flower where only the petals and the stem are in color. Your photograph should have a discernible subject, which you will keep in color, the rest will be black and white.

I would like you to save your final image as a jpg, upload it to your Picasa class album, and post a link to it in the DansCourses.com Forum.

I am going to update the following tutorials to CS5, but they are still worth watching as long as they don't confuse you. So I will leave them here while I am working on my new ones.
