Photography Class Session: 1/2

Session Review

Continuing from last Friday's introduction session, I found an excellent use of the mask tool in Adobe Photoshop which consisted of the white-black brush erasing the image, while the white brush restored the erased image as my lecturer described the tool it's like cleaning a dirty window.

I was also made aware of the level tool in photoshop which consisted of a graph called a histogram displaying the levels of white, black and mid-tone colours featured within the image. For the class exercise, this was used to balance the skin tones of the merged human face the class and I were creating.

Moreover, I had learned a sufficient amount of terminology that I highly appreciated in learning since the techniques and tools I have been now been made aware will be used for to improve the quality of my 3d textures in my 3d modelling projects. that my lecturer Paul took the time to further explain the nature of binary which was incredibly useful to me and learning that 16 bit is apparently the standard image quality an average human being.
