[ elements & principles ]
before you take any photos or start on sketches
for a composition, it is important to first take into
consideration the elements and principles of
design. making sure you use them is critical for
good compositions and efficient communication
with the viewer.

emphasisvisual prominence often used tocreate focal points
good compositions often combine several
elements and principles to create an effective
and aesthetically pleasing piece. be mindful ofwhich elements and principles will work best in
your piece to communicate your message or
instill emotion and captivate the viewer.
take time to search the internet for good design.whether it is an excellently designed website or a
piece someone did, study it and take note of
what draws you to the composition. surround
yourself with good design and you will quickly
and subconciously pick up was to solveproblems in design and how to improve your
own work.

workspace
palettes
[ managing your workspace ]
[what are their functions ]
having a customized workspace in photoshop is
an easy way to enable you to work faster and
more efficiently. photoshop comes with a couple
preset workspaces, like essentials and design
and painting, but it is easy for you to make your
own. the workspace is comprised of the palettes
(windows) you choose to have open while you
are working. a few of the most commonly usedpalettes are the layers, swatches, paths, brush,
brush presets, color, and history palettes. the
palettes serve to make it easier for you to make
adjustments in your piece.

using the tools at the bottom of the palette,you can record a sequence of actions to beperformed, for example, putting on a vignetteand adding a filter. after recording this sequence,it can be played back later for when you needto perform the same sequence

adjustmentsbrightness/contrast
levels
adjusts how bright the
brightest brights are, how
dark the darkest darks are,
and how much contrast
there is between the lightcolors and dark colors.
the levels are a more
controllable way to adjust
the brightness and contrast

curves
the levels offer the ability
to better control how dark
the dark colors are. as you
slide the black slider to
the left, the midtonesbecome darker and some
turn black. moving the
grey slider will control how
dark the colors located
between black and grey
are and how light thecolors between white and
grey are. moving the white
slider will have the
opposite effect as moving the black one.
the curves allow you toadjust the contrast using
curves instead of a flat line
like most adjustments
use. for example if you
move the black slider in
the levels, it makes most
colors darker. in the
curves, you can control it
to make some of the dark
colors lighter while making
some light colors darker

hue/saturation
the hue/saturation palette
allows you to control the
colors of the image.
moving the hue slider willmove the colors around
the color wheel in a
sense. complimentary
colors remain
complimentary, but
instead of being orangeand blue moving the
slider may make them green and red. the
saturation slider works the same as it does in the
vibrance palette. the lightness slider also works
the same as the brightness slider in the
brightness/contrast palette. checking the box nexto colorize will make the image values of a single
color, changed by adjusting the hue slider.
color balance
color balance helps to
eliminate problems thatarise when a factor
(normally lighting) makes an
object that is originally one
color take on a different
hue.

black & white
the black & white palette
enables the ability to
control specific colors
and how close they are towhite or black. clicking
auto will take the colors
to what the program
senses they should be at
in the image. checking
the box next to tint willapply a tint to the image.
the color of the tint can be controlled by clicking
on the box to the right of the word tint.
photo filter
photo filters act as they
would in a camera. theycan make the colors in
the image warmer or
cooler depending on the
color and density of the
filter. changing the color
of the filter will effect how
the image is tinted. this
tinting does not act as strongly as the tint option
in the black & white palette and gives the ability to
control the density. the density is merely how
strong the filter (tint) is. common filters used are

the channel mixer allows
you to control the amount
of red, green, and blue
present in an image. this
especially comes in
handy when converting
an image to a black &
white image. if you check
the box next tomonochrome, it turns the
image into a black &
white image. with the image converted, you can
further control how light or dark the greys are by
moving the slider of the correlating color(s).
posterize takes valuesand groups them into a
range of values based on
the number of levels.
each range is represented by the median value. a
the number of levels decreases, the range
becomes larger and vice verse.
channel mixer
invert does not have a window of its own, it
merely inverts the colors of the image. this will
give an appearance similar to that of a negative.

gradient map

threshold
threshhold works in a
similar manner to
posterize, but there are
only two ranges of valuesthat create a black &
white image. as you
increase the threshold,
more values are added to
the black section and more are taken from the
white section and vice verse. this is useful forvalue mapping on vector, painting, or even
graphite/charcoal portraits.
gradient map
while using the black &
white adjustment will
make the image black &
white, using the gradient
map allows you more
versatility in colors. the
gradient map applies the colors of the gradient to
the values of image (see figure below).

adjustments are also available to be changed in
the image>adjustments drop-down menu orthe at the bottom of the layers palette. the
difference between using the adjustments in the
menu and adjustments from the layers or
adjustments palette is using the menu does not
create an adjustments layer. creating anadjustments layer allows those adjustments to
be edited later on.
selective color
selective color allows
you to adjust the
appearance of specific
colors in an image. forexample you can make
all of the reds darker or
lighter or saturated or
muted without changing
the appearance of any
other color. you canchange the appearance of multiple colors in one
adjustment layer.

strongly recommended.
