Photoshop Before and After

Summary:

I took a course at Missouri State University that taught me step-by-step techniques for working in Adobe Photoshop, including how to correct, enhance, and distort digital images, create image composites, and prepare images for print and the web. The before and after images below are a sampling of the work that I completed during the 15 project-based lessons. This course also touched on the ethical factors that one must consider when photoshopping images.

Applicability to Industry:

The images below demonstrate my ability to edit images using Adobe Photoshop. I have used the techniques learned in the class to enhance the photographs I have added to technical documentation. Specifically, I have:

• Adjusted the color balance and light when photographs were not professionally taken or lacked the appropriate lighting for the setting

• Cropped images to omit the background and obsolete area of the background

• Used layers when compositing multiple images, adding text to an image, or adding vector graphic shapes

• Removed irrelevant objects or people in images to maintain appropriate focus
