When I first started using Adobe in Media studies i didn't understand the great level of detail within the software, and was mystified b the vast array of tools that could alter images. The first tool I can use confidently is the spot healing brush. I used this on all of my photos to make my models look professional, this could also interpret the wealth/quality of the magazine because the models all appear beautiful and flawless. Another tool I found very useful; levels on a photo, as some of my photos had hard unflattering light I made the quality lower, to soften the glare of the light.
The photo I used for my double page spread had to be cropped so I used the clone tool to create a
consistent background for my text.
After becoming more confident with the camera, I changed the lighting and angles carefully to get the best outcome I could. Also, by adjusting the ISO and aperture I was able to take photos in a range of different lightings for different desired effects.
In my final DPS picture, I blurred the background by using a very low opacity paint brush that gave layers to the background. This makes the model appear more in focus because it look sharp and bright. This also gives my model a more powerful charismatic pose with this effect.
I believe the tools that allowed me to be most creative/innovative were Prezi and Adobe Photoshop, this is the reason of many different tools and adjustment options. At A2, I will develop my use of technology from this point as a matter of experience as i have had slight problems with technology generally e.g. losing my user area.
