Photoshop 1


The above photograph is my first Photoshop assignment. I use at least five images and put them together with photo retouching. It isn't a really successful because I haven't made a good preparation before I started. But you can see that how much effort did I make. The backgound, speed indicators, the reflection of windscreen and blood were setup, especially the blood which was made by ketchup. I used a straw to blow ketchup spreading on the windscreen. It is hard to make the ketchup looks like real blood, because they are liquid with semi transparency. The trick is how do you make it real. The photoshop tutor said I should buy some animal or toy blood instead and retake the picture at the background with green leafs behind. The only reason that I didn't want to reshoot is I would like to utilize photoshop to fix all the problems that have appeared, rather than reshoot and retake the photographs. If everything can be reproduced, how come we don't put all the stuffs together at location or venue and set up as a constructed image? That is my point.
