Color Scheme Edits


Color Mood: Yellow blend

Fill Green Grass
Fill Green Jersey and Blue Eyes














For the Color Mood photograph, I first blended two pictures together. The first one is of the softball team doing their cheer before the game, then blended it with the scoreboard at the end of the game. Finally I added a yellow hue over the whole photograph to add the sense of cheer and happiness to the photograph. (Edina won this game).

The next two photographs I enhanced certain colors in the pictures to add emphasis to certain things. For example, in the top photo, I made the grass more green, and in the bottom one, I made Cassie's eyes more blue, and brightened the color of her green jersey

Gradient Tool and Gradient Maps

For the two photographs above, I used the Gradient Tool in Photoshop to combine two different photographs into one. I really like the effect that this tool had on my photographs because it adds more interest to them.

 For the next three photographs I used the Gradient Map adjustment tool, this changes the hues of the photograph. In the first photograph, I used black and white, then reduced the opacity down so it color and still be seen as well as the black and white part of the photograph. In the second photograph, I used a colored Gradient Map and changed the blending style to darken. For the last photograph, I combined  the opacity and the blending mode to make the subject more interesting.
