Week 3: Working with selection and channels
I had to repeat the steps several times to get the hang of it but finally I was able to turn noon into night! Photoshop is a very powerful tool and yes I was just playing with this but oh man I am so excited about what is possible here! The steps caused it to just grab everything in the sky and I pasted a whole different sky in there without having to trim out around the leaves or anything. It was kind of weird that it was so hard and then it was so easy.
Clouds at night
Here are sunset clouds from a photo I took on the 27th.
A thoughtful kid at noon, note the blue sky
Here is the original of the photo I took of Miss B today at lunchtime.
Week 3 Assignment part 1 from chapter 4 of the Graphic Designer's Digital Toolkit. Look what I can do!
Wow that was so cool! Did I turn day into night or night into day! Whoa!
Part 2: Lasso and the Cat!
Here is the "Before" picture I took right next to my house when the road construction was starting, September 25th 2012.
This photo has a lot of "find the hidden differences" opportunities. Telephone pole is different. Tree at right is different. Body damage, glare, foreground, grass. Yeah I had a lot of fun with this.

Lasso'ed the Cat!
Telephone pole is different, but a lot of other stuff too. This was very fun!
Playing with the channels you can turn everything different colors.
Kayaks. I'm still playing with this one as well as my own photos. I do like the example photo because of the clear colors and suddenly I get why they are green red and white.
3. This stuff can take time, it's true
In another version of this I turned the barn yellow but it would only save as a Photoshop file, not a .jpg or other formats.
