Keira Branton

2. Images sourced from books:
From photographing the Lake District
From The Complete Guide to Nature Photography

3. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
Advantages for images sourced from books is that a book can be accessed for
free from library’s or borrowed from another person. Another advantage to this
method of sourcing images is that images can be fond from a long time ago,
this is a good way of using old photos, even damaged photography can be fixed
to some extent using Photoshop.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
The disadvantages to sourcing images from books is that the user has to scan
the images to create a digital form, this also means the user requires a scanner.
Some images do not accurately scan meaning some aspects can be lost, the
scanner could also be broken, resulting in useless digital images. It is not
always easy to find the exact image you require, it is time consuming. Another
disadvantage is that the user is also required to physically search for the image
they would like to source. The quality of the image can decrease and the
resolution appearing low.
Advantages and Disadvantages

4. Images sourced from google images:

5. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
An advantage of sourcing using Google images is that high quality images can
be discovered to many different sizes. Almost any image can be discovered
online making it easy for the user to access when they have internet access on
a device. Another advantage is that old images can be found from before the
internet was available to thousands of people, making it easy to search for
authentic, old photographs. If an images is of a bad resolution, you can put the
image back into the search engine and it will come up with the same image but
of different sizes.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
Finding an image of an appropriate resolution can be difficult, enlarging an
image you found on Google could appear pixelated and be unfit. When
browsing the internet, some images may have to be purchased to be used,
copyright images can be more difficult to come across than you may think.
Another disadvantage to using Google images is that everybody resorts to this
source, making it somewhat unoriginal.

6. Images sourced from stock image library:

7. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
The advantages of sourcing in this way is that the images can be easily found.
There is also a large variation of images, meaning finding the exact photo you
want to use can be available. Once you purchase the image from the owner, it
become yours to use however you want, be that for personal or public use. This
gives you complete freedom and no worries about legal issues that could occur
from attempting to use a stock image without purchasing it.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
The disadvantages of sourcing images from stock image libraries is that the
images include huge copyright logos over the main focus of the image, this is
difficult to Photoshop out. The copyright logo also means the owner wants you
to pay for using their images, in exchange you will receive an image that is
copyright free and can be used as you wish. If you are caught using a stock
image with an edited out copyright logo, you can receive a fine and it could
cause legal difficulties.

total control and you can uses the images however you want with no legal
considerations. Photographing things is really is to do. The vast majority of
people have mobile devices that are able to take photographs making it easy to
source images this way.

14. Resolution image:

15. Advantages of different resolutions: there are a range of different
advantages when handling images resolutions. One point is that with lowering it
you will thus make the images size smaller, as a result of this the image will be
significantly faster to render, this will result in a smoother viewing experience if
they are used on a website. Having a small resolution image will also take up
less storage space on your pc as well as requiring less from you pc when
editing as a result of the lower pixel count meaning that they will be more
friendly to use when using a pc that has a low amount of ram. Using a larger
resolution image will mean that the image will have more detail, this will result in
the image have a better visual fidelity, as a result they are very suitable for
desktop backgrounds and posters as a result of having a high resolution or pixel
density.
Disadvantages of different resolutions: A lower resolution image will mean
that there will be less detail, as a result of this you will not have the same level
of depth in an image result in Despite this having a larger resolution image will
result in demanding more from your system, this is as a result of editing large
resolution image will require more storage for saving your image as well as
more ram when editing.

16. Manipulated image with appropriate caption:

17. Explain the changes you made to the image and explain why you made
those changes:
First I added the image to Photoshop twice so I could cut out the lenses of the
glasses with out loosing any of the image.
I then put a black and white effect on the back image then I added a hue and
saturation effect on thing wrong with this was that the black and white effect
also effected the front image meaning I had to use the eraser tool to get rid of
the effect where I didn’t want it to be.
In the end I feel like it came out well and looks really good for the amount of
time I had to do it in.
