3. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
An advantage of sourcing images from books is that they can be
accessed for free at public library's and you may not be able to find the
exact image from another source.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
The main disadvantage of sourcing images from books is having to scan
or take a picture of the image to get it to a digital format. This reduces the
quality of the image which may then restrict how and where you sue the
image. These images are also copyrighted and cannot be used for
commercial work.
5. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
Using Google images is probably the easiest way to source an image as
thousands of images can be found in seconds depending on the image
you need. You can then print these images to get a physical copy as well
as already having a digital copy.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
The main disadvantage of souring images this is way that the image sizes
and resolutions may vary. You may find an image you want to use but it
maybe to small and very pixelated if you try to enlarge it. You can get
round this issue sometimes as you can also picture search on Google
images. If you upload the image you are looking for, all other images that
are the same will be found and these may have a larger image size and
increased resolution.
8. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
An advantage of sourcing images this way is that if you buy the rights to
the image, no one else will be able to use the image, making it exclusive
to you or your business.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
Disadvantages of both stock images and copyright free images are that
you need to pay to use these images. The price varies on size of images
as well as how you will use them for example if they are for commercial
image they will be more expensive than personal use. You may also need
to pay for the copyright rights for the stock images as well. These images
also usually have lots of watermarks across them to avoid people stealing
them.
10. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
Souring your own images is probably the easiest way to source an image
depending on the subject. This avoids any copyright issues you may
incur when using images for commercial work. This also allows you to get
the image style you want.

you want to photograph as well as having the resources such as a camera
at least to take your own photos. Also, depending on you abilities, will
depend on the success of the images.
16. Advantages of different resolutions:

size. The size of the image you need will depend on its use. For example,
if the image is for the internet, it will have a small resolution and image
size as this allows it to work faster on a website.
Disadvantages of different resolutions:
When an image has a small resolution it can be pixelated and have very
bad quality compared to a large resolution.
18. Explain the changes you made to the image and explain why you made
those changes:
To edit this image, I first changed the brightness/contrast to brighten the
image. I then used the hue/saturation to make the lights in the image
brighter. I used colour balance to take out the warm light in the image and
making the colours more natural. Adding a cooling filter helped to
remove more of the yellow warm tone of the image and make it more
balanced. I then added a grain filter to the image to create some texture
and make the image feel aged.
