Black and White

I like the outcome of this as it makes the image look more dramatic and also makes the water droplets stand out more. Therefore the black and white makes the image effective at showing texture.

Duotone

For this duotone, I used black and blue. I like the outcome and think that the colours work very well with the image. In some ways, the colours tell a story as they are quite bold and dramatic.

Repetition

This image is not my favourite but would be effective at showing pattern. I think that the image works well at showing repetition and think that the composition is interesting.

Selective Colour

This image looks effective as it makes the leaf look unreal but also enhances the detail within the leaf. I really like the vibrancy of the colours.

Soft Focus

I like how this image is blurred but it still is focused at the eyes. In my opinion, this makes the image quite successful at presenting soft focus to the audience.

Photojoiner

I really like the photo joiner as it presents a distorted effect which I think is very effective. I like the outcome of the image above and think it is successful as well as appealing to the audience.

I inversed this image and am pleased with the outcome. I like how the image looks slightly ghostly by the figure being white while the background is completely black. 

I used the polarise tool and also adapted the hue and saturation to create this image. Due to this, the image is much more effective than the original.

I used the liquify tool to create this look on the cat. I like the outcome and feel that it makes the cat look a little like a cartoon. 

For this image, I used the filters from the filter gallery. The filter that I selected was called 'poster edges'. 

This image used the filter called 'paint daubs'.

For this image, I also selected filter gallery and selected the filter called 'smudge stick'. I like the outcome and feel it works well with the image. 

To create this image I used photoshop. I selected filter and then blur gallery. I then selected tilt-shift and used the command key to drag the lines which made certain areas of the image blurred. This was good as it allowed the face to become the main focus point of the image. 

I created the look of this image by using the inverse tool (command i). I think that this image looks effective as it looks as though the skeleton has been removed from the image due to the fact that is has become white. 

I really like this image and created it by using the filter gallery. I used the filter called 'glowing edges' to create this look and was able to adapt the brightness and thickness of the edges. I like the outcome of using this filter and feel that it looks very effective.

For this experiment, I used the filter from the filter gallery called ink outlines.

To create this inversed effect on this photo, I firstly copied the layer by selecting command j. I then selected command i to inverse the layer. Then, to make the inversed effect look more interesting, I adapted the curves to make the background and darker areas bolder. Overall, I think this looks very effective. Above shows my final outcome.

To create this look, I selected filter and then filter gallery where there was a wide range of different effects to choose from. For my final outcome and experiment above, I selected the 'smudge stick' and used this to create my final outcome which can be seen above.

To create this look, I selected filter, then liquify. Following this, I used the float tool and adjusted my brush size in order to make certain areas appear slightly embossed. By doing this, I was able to create a look which made the cat look a little like a cartoon.

I then experimented with the polarise tool on photoshop. To do this I selected the tool and then altered it to my desired amount. I liked the outcome but did not feel it was especially interesting. For this reason, I experimented with the effect further by using the hue and saturation tool to create an alternative colour scheme which I feel is very effective.

I did another experiment with the filters. To create the outcome above, I selected filter, then filter gallery. When I selected my desired filter, I decided that the 'poster edges' effect looked best. When I had selected it, I then adapted the edge thickness and intensity and also adapted the polarisation in order to create my final experiment outcome which is shown above. Overall, I like the outcome and think it looks a little like a comic strip picture.
