AO5 - Complex image manipulation

Look at the work of some influential photographers. There are some examples in the shared area.

The idea of AO5 is that you edit your images to emulate the work of one of these photographers.

You should end up with at least two different images that are edited in a creative and imaginative way.

Choose a range of the photos you have taken or collected in this unit and edit them using some of the techniques below:

  •  adding effects, eg morphing, using filters,layers, masks, paths
  •  photo enhancements
  • juxtaposition and superimposition of images and text multiple images
  •   photo restoration eg noise removal, lasso, feathering, cloning,
  • healing and correcting patches
  • palettes
  • changing colour balance
  • sharpening and softening
  • changing contrast
