Project 5 - Ann Nickerson


1. Describe how using Camera Raw to adjust your color settings, sharpening
and vignetting features to improved your images.
Most of the images had a blue cast. Sometimes the white Balance tool pushed it too far to the warm side. Thus I used custom settings more than the auto settings. I’m learning to train my eye for what is pleasing and figuring what steps to take to get there.

2. Describe how you will use the Preset feature in the future.
The preset will come in handy when I edit sunny seacoast scenes. It’s nice to work through the process once and apply it over and over again.

3. What was your intent for results by using the dodge, burn and sponge
features?
I used the dodge tool to lighten shadows on the boys face. I used sponge to highlight eyes. I didn’t use the burn tool to darken any area.

4. Explain how you decided which healing tools to remove imperfections of
images.
I started with the finer healing tools and then worked out to the one that is more overall. (I followed the books lead.)

5. What challenges did you experience in the process?
Trying to decide how to enhance the photos in camera raw was my biggest challenge. It takes time to train the eye.

6. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
I’m a little slow in learning my shortcuts. I’m using save, select & deselect. I use buttons for most else.
