Photoshop has emerge as a widely used photo editing software and center
of creativity across various fields, including graphic designing, web

Photograph manipulation refers to the alteration of an image using different

images onto a single negative.

images using a scanner or other imaging devices.
Techniques :
-
Removing details ("re-touching") used to improve appearance (remove
wrinkles, slim down) or remove distracting or unwanted elements.
-
Inserting details used to change facial features, add colour to skin, add
elements to a scene in order to change tone of a photograph

3. PRACTICAL - CREATING E-PORTFOLIO
On the first week, we were asked to choose 3 graphic design art works from
Pinterest and explain why we like the designs.
The first time I saw this illustration designed by Lê Long, I can really tell the message conveyed through the poster. I can immediately understand the meaning of the photo, because sometimes it relates to me.
The illustration shows that the girl is imagining her book while she is taking a bath. We can tell bay looking at the ships, clouds, and sea animals that seem to emerge from the book around the bathroom. I love the choice of perspective angle of this illustration and how all of the objects in the photo are related to water. The photo also combines reality and fantasy together.
Design #1
Fig 3.1 "STAYCATION" (By Lê Long)
When I saw this photo for the very first time, I was interested and amazed by the design. Even though the photo has a lot of things in it, I like how it doesn’t make it look messy.
This illustration depicts a woman sleeping in a forest, decorated with animals and leaves as an explanation. I like how this illustration is dominated by dark blue-green colours, which makes it seem like a chilly night time with a touch of pink and yellow colours in it.
Design #2
Fig 3.2 Photo by Asia Orlando
When I first saw this photo, I was instantly amazed by the editing. Although it looks very simple, it is the creativity that makes it look very eye-catching.
This illustration shows a man’s sliced forehead as if we could know what was going on inside his mind. The proper use of light and shadow makes the illustration look 3D and realistic. Moreover with the addition of water effects that make it look wet.
Design #3
