Reflection Blog- Project 2

    In this Project my task was to use various edit tools to modify different images, but to make them seem like they aren't fake at the slightest. I used many tools such as the patch tool, spot healing brush tool, healing brush tool, blur tool and dodge tool. These tools have different tasks but some on the other hand are similar like the clone stamp tool, healing brush tool,  patch tool, and the spot healing brush tool. Whats similar with the clone stamp and the patch tool is that they take a certain part of the image and can be replaced with another part of the image, like for instance in the rocky cliff image by using the patch tool you can take a part of a rock with cracks and in a way fix it by replacing or covering it up witha clear, clean part of the rock. The difference between these two tools is that one just really picks a precise spot of the image and kind of copys it while the other can circle a spot in the image and by moving that circle the spot can be made to look like another. The similarities between the spot healing brush and the healing brush tool is that the Spot healing brush can really be more precise when it comes to removing a part of an image like for instance in the first image that I was able to work on, the sprinkler head was easy to remove with the use of the spot healing brush and then the image looked as if the sprinkler head was never there. The healing brush can take another part of the image and press option so that everthing goes according to how it should be, plus you can change the amount of pixels you want to use in order to use the healing brush tool.

    Other projects that these tools could be helpful are projects that have to do with making a presentation of people doing insane stunts, with the right edit tools a man could be seen jumping of a tree or getting his head stuck in a whales mouth. Depending on what tools are being used could really cause a huge attraction to people who would find the modifyed image fascinating. By using a tool to saturate a car, it could get viewers to be mezmorized by how such a feature could be possible to make this actually happen. As for the text warp option for my name, I am sad to say that I could not achieve that point of the project since i took my time and was hopefully able to finish atleast the first 4 images of the assignment.This has been my reflection blog for Project 2 and I found this project as a learning experience.
