The Photoshop Portrait Assignment

Continue to work on your Portrait. Each time you try one of the following experiments, save the image "SAVE AS" so that you preserve the previous version. Gather them in one file, then paste the file in the Photo 9/10 Share folder, paste/post best your top 4 into your journal.

1. Touch-up the Photo- Correct the contrast and exposure: Image>Adjustments>Levels (or Exposure). Try the spot healing brush, clone stamp, (you need to alt copy the area you want to take the tone from) or copy color and air brush with low opacity.
2. Double Exposure- try selecting an area with the "Lasso" or the "Square Marquee" from the same or another image and Copy>Paste. You can use the Eraser to touch up. OR Try the Rubber Stamp Tool, but consider copying it onto a different layer.
3. Dodge and Burn- either use the Burn Tool to darken a light area, or use the Dodge Tool to lighten a dark area. Or try a vignette where you use the Elliptical Marquee tool to select the area to select the area around the image Select>Inverse (To Feather the edge type a # in the option bar at the top), then try burning the edges with a Burn Tool or Image>Adjust>Levels.
4. Contact Negative- Image>Adjustments>Invert. Try Levels to enhance.
5. Solarize- Filter> Render>Solarize. Again you could adjust the darkness and contrast with Levels.
6. An Experiment- ...? Your choice, play around!
7. Selective Colour- Using Adjustment layers and masking techniques, or Image>Adjustment> Variations. 
8. Add a Texture Layer- Open a file with a similar file size as the one that you are working on. Then >SELECT>ALL> COPY and the >PASTE into your portrait, use the layer mode to select and overlay mode to combine the texture with your portriat.
9. Try 3 Combinations use layers, opacity, Filters and Image Adjustments.
