The document describes experiments editing a photograph to make it look more sinister. The author first edited the sky to be a dark green and black color and changed the tree colors from brown to white to imply evil was taking over. Additional edits included using the hue/saturation tool to change colors to a dark red, increasing contrast to darken the image, and using the magic wand tool to change the sky color from left to right. The hills were also turned blood red. The reflection indicates the author plans to include brightness and effect adjustments in the final product to make photos more interesting and meaningful to viewers.

2. Process In the original photo, the colours
used are light colours which is quite
cheerful while in my edited photo,
the mix of green and black could
symbolise evil and almost looks
poisonous.
In my edited version, I tried my
best to make the Photograph look
as eerie and sinister as possible.
First, I edited the sky to make it
change from quite a peaceful and
beautiful yellow to a dark and evil
green and black colour that is
taking control of everything that is
underneath it. I then changed the
colours of the trees from brown to
white so that it looked like they
had no life in them anymore to
show that evil is taking over.

3. Process
The first tool I used was Hue/Saturation, to
change the colours to a kind of dark red. I
then changed the Contrast to make the
image darker.
After this I thought that I would quite like
the sky in the top right to be dark and go
into a light green in the left so I used the
Magic Wand tool to highlight the sky and I
started playing around with colour mixer.
Finally, I went onto the hills to turn them
into a blood red colour

4. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– In my final experiment I will be using Photoshop to add effects and increase or
decrease the brightness to make my photos more interesting to people. I
would like my photos to be a topic of conversation in a way, bringing people
closer together and having a proper conversation over something with
meaning.
