Creating Rainbow Effect

Going to photoshop tutorials i found this one to create rainbow effect looked very interseting.http://photoshoptutorials.ws/photoshop-tutorials/photo-effects/surprisingly-easy-rainbow-light-painting-effect/page-3.html .

First I got the picture of a plain white baseball with with white needles and opened it in to phtoshop.I clicked on the couler palette and went to hue/saturation i put the saturation at -100 to make the picture a lighter shade.I created a new layer and changed the blending mode to couler.Before i started to paint the picture i went to window- and clicked swatches.selecting the paintbrush tool i made the diameter 200 px.I used blue,green,yellow and pink to paint the picture.I started of at the top painting with yellow,then goinmg down a bit i used pink then blue, then green to create this effect.When i was done i deleted the hue/saturation layer.

I think this was a very easy effect to create and it can be used while editing many types of pictures,i think it would be best used to picture of people with a dark backrouund. It makes the picture of look alot more original and stand out instead of just black and white.

Album cover

The name of this band is Steven Ciabo. Seeing the picture of this calm lake with mountains in the backround gives the feeling of calm suthing music. I used black and grey for the band and album name because they are calm ,neutral coulers and the music is dull and not upbeat.I used the plain font because its just boring plain music. I think the album name "rest on pure joy" matches the album and band because it means just rest so it matched the music and album cover of just being calm and not bright coulered.


The second album cover i think would be disco,retro,techno upbeat music. I used bright coulers for the band name type 80 because it makes the music look happy,i used the bold writing outlined in red because the bright green with red look like such bright coulers and look like disco music.The picture kind of matches the music because the picture has lots of people walking and its busy and the type of music makes you wanna dance and move around.The album name freindship and conversation is totally random but i guess conversation could match the music because it means upbeat.The coulers i used go with the album because i used a bright red and the outer glow which maded the it pop out.The music reminds me of something you would go downtown to hear and too see the band.

Celbrity photo

First i got a picture of paris hilton and a seprate picture of a group of homeless people.Then I used the magic wand tool to erase most of the backround,any parts of the backround i misssed i used the eraser tool to get rid of it .I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut around Paris.Then i used the lasso tool to erase and parts i missed.I grabbed Paris and put her on the picture of with the homeless people.First i went to Edit-transform-scale to make her the right size.Then i went to hue/saturation to make her the right couler to fit in to the backround.

I think this image is incongrous because Paris Hilton is always being portrayed as ritch and doesnt really help the homeless.She always has her fancy clothes and expensive jewlery.Even in the picture she is wearing a fancy dress.I dont think she would ever be in this enviornment because she is so rich and even though she could be using her money too help people and donate money she chooses to use her money to buy clothes,expensive jewlery and plastic surgerys.

barack obama

Barack obama

To edit the first barack obama photo i used the magnetic lasso tool to cut him out and then i went to slect and inverse image.I then dragged him in to the picture of the great wall of china.Once he was there i went to edit- tansfor-scale and while pressing shift i made him smaller.

To edit the second picture of barack obama i used the magnetic lasso tool to cut him out,i then made and new layer and made it a green.I made a new mask,by putting black as the foreground couler as black i used the airbrush tool to erase the blue halos around him.Then i put the foreground couler as white, while holding down Alt key i clicked on the layer mask i then erased any part of him that should be white.

I think the first photo was easier because all i did really was use the magnetic lasso tool and then inversed and them dragged him on to the great wall of china.I found the second way alot more confusing because it took a while to figure how to change the couler,make a new mask and use the airbrush tool.

But i do think the second one looks alot more realistic and precise because it looks alot more clearer and he is cut out better.
