I chose this image to look at because it doesn't look like a normal image.

In this image she has used panoramic techniques. 

At first glance it looked animated/ computer generated. 

In this image she has reversed the image to make a reflection effect.

In this image she has used two techniques, panoramic and reversed.

This is a good effect because it is different to the normal panoramic images I've seen before.

I like this image because it is a continuous shot of an French shopping strip. I like the way that as you look along the image, the shops change colour from white to red, to yellow. It is also interesting how this image is cropped into a long, narrow strip. There is a continuous line along the roof tops of the buildings and the image is made up of mainly rectangular and square shaped buildings. The  lighting works well to make the unnatural. 

I like this image because it looks like a pop-art picture. The main parts I like are the colours and how they are so simple. I also like the fact it looks computer generated. The main shapes are rectangular and square this make the image so simple but good.

My Top 5 Experiments

                                       

In this image I first had to make a panoramic then I changed it to make a planet using the Polar Distortion technique Photoshop. I think this image could be improved if I took out the line in the middle of the planet. I could do this by using the heal tool or crop tool in Photoshop. 

In this image I have selected the arm of a statue before copying and pasting it to make one image. I like the use of negative space in this image because it makes the arms look like they are floating. The blue background also helps the arms to stand out in the middle of the image. 

In this image is one face but copied and pasted to make one image I like this effect because it make the image different.

This is a panoramic negative of Brighton pier this effect is useful for landscapes.  

In this image i used the select tool then the stroke tool to add black lines then i added some colure to make the cartoon effect.

All of my images are a JPEG file and the resolution is 180ppi.

Making a planet

Polar Distortion 

Step 1: Make your panoramic and rotate the  image 180˚.

Step 2: Go to image size and change the resolution to 300ppi and make the width the same as height. 

Step 3: Go to filter and distort and then polar coordinates. 

Step 4: The select rectangular to polar then click ok.

Scanning

Steps to scanning

Step 1: Clean the scanner with a cotton glove.

Step 2: Put the negatives in the scanner with the emulsion side facing towards you.

Step 3: On a Mac open Applications then go to Hewlett-Packard then click on HP scan.

Step 4: Click on negative then go to scan settings and select the resolution 945pixels by cm.

Step 5: Save it as a TIFF.

Step 6: Click on scan with selection.

In Photoshop I used the healing tool to take some of the scratches.

Compare pixels in RAW and JPG

As you can see the the image when zoomed in is more in focus than the JPG image 

Image size

RAW: +High quality
           -Large file size

JPG: +Smaller image size
         -Lower quality

Resize an image

Open a RAW image in photoshop and go to image, then image size.

Then take off resample image so the pixels don't get effected.

 Then change the resolution to 300.

 Then turn back on resample image then click on ok then you're done.
