Color Emphasis

Manifestly, green and red are the two prominent colors in both photos. I had to change Sam's shirt in both photos to be more vibrant using the selection tool, but it worked out swell.

Forced Perspective

In the first imaga, Michaela is supposed to look giant-like, while I look quite small. It worked okay after much effort. Although, we should have has Michaela rotate her body inward, leftish, to make it look more like she was looking at me. In the second photo, Ian is actually laying down on some lockers; after rotating the image and clone stamping, Ian looks like he's standing upright and leaning against the lockers. It looks well also.

High Pass

I used the high pass tool on this photo. The photo's focal becomes much more defined, while the image as a whole becomes clearer. I'll probably use this tool frequently in the future.

Gradient Tool

I blended four photos using the gradient tool. The first photo is of a glass of mango lassi and an Indian rug thing. I blended them because they are both the most memorable things from our family's restaraunt for me since I was a child: the appearance of the restaraunt and my favorite beverage. The second photo is made up of two images from outside my house. The lamp that hangs in front of my door, and a couple houses from across the street.

Solarization

The first photo, I used a purple and black gradient map and brightened the photo a bit.
The second photo, I used a "sea colors" gradient map, and brightened the image.

Solarization

These three photos have been solarized! The first photo is negative, while the second and the third are positive. The colors were tempered with after fixing the curves, and these photos are the result.

Higher contrast, more vibrance, a little bit of lens flare, changes in the color curves, more exposure, and some other things.

Adjustment to the color curves, a sepia photo filter, and some other things.
