Creation of edited photos
To create my first photos, I connected to the Southend High
School for Girls computer server on the iMac using a unique address which
everyone can connect to. Then as everyone’s photos showed up in four group
folders, I double clicked my group’s folder (named “Anna”) and found the images that I want. Regardless of the
photo quality, I highlighted all of the photos taken and dragged them into
Photos (since I used a new model of iMac, it wasn’t called “iPhoto” on the
dashboard) to save them and take a look at them any time. The photos that I really wanted, though, were a
portrait-style photo of (presumably) Anna in the background next to the school,
and a landscape photo of other peers in the sports area near the field. For the
first photo, I clicked on “Edit”
at the top right hand corner; a respective section of options came up at the
right-hand side, referring to the enhancement of the selected photo. One option
was to adjust a pseudo-eraser and edit out unwanted objects in the photo. Other
options were photo filters to enhance the portrait and colour enhancement.
Nevertheless, I clicked on the Filters option
and gave the photo a complete makeover of 1950’s black and white. Then I
adjusted the colour settings a little bit to give it a proper retro-style look
in order to satisfy my needs in terms of photo editing. By dragging the
finished photo on to the desktop to save it there, I completed my job of
attempting my first photo edit.
However, I moved on by taking the photo of my peers and
performed the same editing scheme like what I had done on the portrait-style
photo, only with a few changes in enhancement. I radically brightened the photo
and digitally enhanced it to make it look as if it were high-definition. To
finish, I dragged it on to the desktop and sent the photo and all other related
photos to Dropbox (where I have an account there for cloud storage).
I really like the 1950s dated look of the first image.
