ASSIGNMENT TWO - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Chose three images from the 300 you made for assignment two.

Look at each images / scenes you've chosen. For each image / scene, find the exposure that has the best balance of detail in the shadows and in the hightlights. You should have five exposures for each scene / image.

In Photoshop, convert each image to black and white - click here to read how .

Then, adjust the tonalities in each image until you have made an objectively good photograph - one with detail in the shadows and highlights, with good contrast, etc. Do this by making a Levels Adjustment Layer.

Next, examine the image. Are there areas in the image that could be brightened, darkened, or have the contrast adjusted. If so, create another Levels Adjustment Layer and modify the adjustment layer mask. Watch these videos for a refresher.

Have your three adjusted, finished images ready for print on 9.16.2011. Do not change the resolution / image size of the file. Do not flattened the images. Bring them as unflattened, full resolution .PSD (photoshop document) files.

See you all on the 16th!!!!
