The document describes Joshua Blakeley's experiments with color curves, brightness, and contrast adjustments to manipulate images. Specifically, he increased red tones and decreased blue tones, lowered both brightness and contrast. For his final product, he plans to use these color and lighting adjustments to change images seasonally. He will also employ other editing techniques. A second experiment used Gaussian blur to focus on the front cars while blurring the background, mimicking a bokeh effect. For his final project, he will use Gaussian blur in this style of photography and the Quick Selection tool to edit clipped parts of images.

1. Experiments
Joshua Blakeley

3. Process
• What I did was, changed
the colour curves, (red,
up) (blue, down).
• Then I altered the
brightness and contrast,
making the contrast
lower and same with the
brightness.

4. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– Most likely I will use the colour curves and
brightness/contrast to my advantage to make
some shots look totally different in seasonal
timing.
– I will also continue to use other manipulation
techniques to make my images even better.

6. Process
• What I did was took the majority of the photo, then clipped it. Then I used
the Gaussian Blur which makes the front 2 cars focused but the rest of the
background blurry.

7. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final project?
– I will use the Gaussian effect to make the bokeh
effect on that style of photography.
– I will also use the Quick Selection tool to clip
certain parts of the picture to specifically edit on.
