Project 5 Cassiopeia Anderson



1. Describe how using Camera Raw to adjust your color settings, sharpening, and vignetting features improved your images.
By adjusting the white balance, exposure, fill light, vibrance, and saturation, it makes corrections to my photos making them look a lot better. I didn't like the vignetting as much for the photos I chose, but I can see where it could be useful in some projects in the future.

2. Describe how you will use the Preset feature in the future. When you get a desired effect using vignetting, it will be nice to have that saved in the preset feature so that it can be quickly and easily applied to other photos in the future.

3. What was your intent for results by using the dodge, burn, and sponge features? I used these features mainly when I was dealing with eyes in the human face photos. I used the sponge tool to enhance the color of the eyes and the dodge tool to reduce the shadows above and below the eyes.

4. Explain how you decided which healing tools to remove imperfections of images. The content aware spot healing brush is my absolute favorite so I used that more frequently. When that wasn't working very well for me, I used the healing brush by Alt selecting an area. I didn't have any photos with red eye to use the red eye tool.

5. What challenges did you experience in the process? When I was editing the face photos, I kept forgetting to do the corrections on a new layer so I ended up starting over a few times. I was doing the corrections on the background layer.

6. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now? Ctrl+D (deselect), Alt+Move, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+(zoom in), Ctrl-(zoom out), Ctrl+S (Save)
