Lab #6 Reflection

  For this lab, like many others, we always go through a certain procedure to get an astounding result. In this lab compared to the ones from before, we actually used our own skills with varied tools to fix errors on pictures. There was 4 pictures given to us and we were given instructions on what had to be specifically fixed. The objective was to use photoshop on all 4 photos and make them look good as if they were originals. We were able to complete this task by using Adobe Photoshop CS6. The first image was "a.jpg", this one was of a tower like structure surrounded by grass-like surrounding. The flaws were two sprinklers and the bottom left edge of the picture was ripped off as well. We had to use the Stamp tool to fill in the sprinklers with grass by using the option key to collect surrounding grass sample. The same process had to be use to cover the ripped part of the photo on the edge with the Stamp tool. After we were done with the corrections, we had to separately save our work as "a_clone.jpg". Afterwards, we had to work on the second image, "b.jpg." This picture was of a mountain climbing lady. The flaws were the cracks in the mountains and the graffiti. They had to be covered up and then shift a few things around to make the mountains look as if they were very smooth and no rigid parts on them. The specific tools that had to be use was the Spot Healing Brush and the Patch tool. Same thing had to be done which was to save the fixed photo as "b_clone.jpg." The third picture was "c.jpg". In this one, we had to fix wrinkles on a somewhat old man with the Healing Brush Tool, Content Aware Tool and Lasso Tool. The fixed result had to saved as "c_clone.jpg." The last picture was "d.jpg". This picture was of a window on a house. We had to do modifications of color on different aspects of the picture with many tools to be mentioned. Once I was all done, I saved it as "d_clone.jpg."
   At the very end, we had to use the four photos with the corrections on them to create a collage with our name and everything else on it. This was the easiest part in my opinion because it was very quick and simple to resize and type up a few letters. The hardest part for me was on picture B since it required fine corrections. I overcame this obstacle with the assistance of my fellow peers! This lab  was somewhat difficult but fun to do. We explored many tools in just one lab, which is crazy to be honest. I would use these skills in my future labs and for future designing for companies.
