Introductionm1840ac4d740b0022_1528450127855_0Introduction

Answer the introductory questions:

1. What is the digital photophotophoto processing?
2. What programs can be used to process photos?
3. Can you remove the red‑eye effect using a computer program?
4. Why use digital photo processing?

Discuss answers in the class forum.

Procedurem1840ac4d740b0022_1528446435040_0Procedure

We often reach for a camera to capture a moment or simply take a picture because we like an object. However, the photographs we take are not always perfect. Sometimes we still need to work with them to meet our expectations. Digital photo processing is today a standard and common practice. In fact, all the photos on the covers of the newspapers were digitally processed. Thanks to such treatments you can embellish every photo, put the photographed person on a completely different background, lighten, sharpen or remove our minor imperfections.m1840ac4d740b0022_1527752263647_0We often reach for a camera to capture a moment or simply take a picture because we like an object.

Task 1

Watch the slide show and then process the digital imagedigital imagedigital image yourself so that it is clearer. Add a title to it. Then, using the available photo distortionsdistortionsdistortions in the program, make a few modifications and write down the effects of your work each time. (Filters> Distort> ...). Which of the distortions should be used to get an image similar to the woodcut?

[Slideshow]

Task 2

Modify the photophotophoto:

[Illustration 1]

so that a new one is created:

[Illustration 2]

To do this, use the ToolboxtoolboxToolbox and the HealhealHeal tool from it. Place the cursor on the chin of the man in the picture and simultaneously press Ctrl. Then place the mouse cursor elsewhere, hold down the left mouse cursor and start moving the part of the image.

Task 3

[Illustration 3]

Using the photophotophoto editing program, remove the spots on the apple. Use the Clone or HealhealHeal tool. Or maybe you will suggest a different way?

Task 4

Check what else you can do by using the ToolboxtoolboxToolbox and the Colours command from the top menu. Use any photophotophoto.
