Photoshop blend modes

 

I learned that the tool "Blending modes" in Photoshop modify the appearance of layers by combining pixels from different layers and also learn some few keyboard shortcuts like how to copy a layer which is Cmd J which takes a copy of the layer which was very useful because we need 27 layers to use all the blend tools. also i learn that if i hold shift and cick on the first layer and last layer it selects all the layers in between which was very useful because i could change all the size in order to put more layer on canvas. i liked the Vivid Light which adjusts the contrast of the lower layer by dodging or burning pixels based on the brightness of the upper layer and is the 2 column and 3 row. i could use blending modes for creating unique textures, enhancing color combinations, manipulating lighting effects shown with the image above as some are lighter then others and there different texture based on the modes and different colors. i also can use blending modes for creating logos like the mode overlay that help preserves the shadow and creates a balanced appearances.

self-portrait in gray and colored

  My experience and process about the project " self-portrait in gray" was very interesting because it take a very long time to layer the works ands took me some thing of how am gonna execute the project, and there were plenty of challenges on the way in order to finish this project.The process of creating this project is not simple at all, it took me  a lot of time, first i had to take a picture in photoshop and turn it gray and than i use 6 layers so 6 different colors of grey to create the picture, but a challenge i encounter was the crazy amounts of layer and confusing, so i had to restart because the finish project of my old one was not that pretty because there was lot of white spots and i did think that was visually appealing, so i restarted and took my time with the pen tool using 200% zoom for a detailed look i traced all the lines and filled in the colors the hardest part of the project was the glasses it was hard to fill them.and i work from the outside to inside l...

Image File Formats

JPG is one of the most common image formats, widely used for photos and web images. It uses lossy compression , meaning some image quality is sacrificed to reduce file size, which works well for images like photographs where smaller files are important. PNG is a lossless format, meaning it keeps all the image details intact. It’s perfect for images that need transparency (like logos) or for any images that require sharp details, like icons or graphics. GIF is great for animations and simple graphics. It supports only 256 colors , so it’s not the best for detailed images but works well for things like small animations and web graphics with fewer colors. BMP is an older image format, and it’s uncompressed , meaning the files are large. It’s not commonly used today, but it was once standard on Windows systems for basic images. PSD is Adobe Photoshop’s native format, keeping all your layers, masks, and effects intact. It’s perfect for working on complex designs or photos where you wa...
