Photoshop Task

Today I finally managed to feel confident enough in what I was doing on photoshop to edit my favourite ink drawing from the other week. I mainly only messed with the colour balance and the hue/saturation but I think they turned out ok! 

My original image

Edit 1:

For this one I mainly edited the levels of the image and ended up with this nice paler version of the original image. I think it would look effective for a children's book or maybe something with writing layered over it.

Edit 2:

For this one all I did was moved the hue and the saturation up. I'm not sure if this looks very good as it kind of gives the leaves a mouldy effect but its ok.

Edit 3:

I thought this one worked really well as it got some of the mouldy colours and some nice blues and pinks in there too. On this one the hue is at the highest level that it can be.


Edit 4:

I only really left this one in because the leaves in it look really autumnal and thats really fitting because its October now. I think this edit gives the most realistic life to this ink drawing and could see myself using it to colour other plant drawings. The hue is relatively low on this one. 


Edit 5:

On this one all I've done is gone to colour balance and upped the green and the yellow to get this nice leafy green. This one made it a lot more obvious that what I was working with was in fact a drawing of some leaves. I like it. In another edit I also used the brush tool to draw around some of the leaves which I quite like although its really time consuming.







Edit 6:

This ones a lot more stylised but definitely one of my favourites. I upped the magenta and red in the colour balance and it turned this really nice pink colour which I think brought out the line detail more. I also did another edit where I tried to fill in the blank space on the page with more leaves by copying a section of them and pasting. I need to work on this a little more but it looks ok.



In conclusion- I'm really still not proficient on photoshop but I am getting there. Practise makes perfect.
