TASK: Enhance your Advertising photos in Photoshop 

Using the photos you took on Monday, put them in Photoshop and enhance them to make your product look more 'sellable'. Some of the things you might think about:
  1. Contrast - using 'Levels' or 'Brightness/Contrast'
  2. Colour - using 'Curves' or 'Colour Balance'
  3. Saturation - using 'Hue/Saturation
  4. Crop - using the 'Crop' tool 
  5. 'Heal' any imperfections - using the 'Healing Brush'.
  6. Copy & duplicate sections - using the 'Clone Tool.'
Next week we will be taking more photos, this time focusing a bit more on the context the objects in.

Put simply, what situation have you put your photos in? What is in the background? How many objects are there? Are there other objects that accompany yours? (e.g. if you're selling fruity sweets there might be fruit in the background; chocolatey cereal might have chocolate in the background, etc.).

Homework: 

Bring in some more objects on Monday, including objects to put in the backgrounds. If you have a camera please be encouraged to bring it in on Mondays. For extra marks, try taking photos at home over the weekend too.

Due: Mon 22nd Nov
