Magic Lamp

This project wasn't as difficult as i expected it to be. I used the mask a lot to achieve the crackle effect on the walls, and I used different brushes for the spider webs and smoke. I ran out of time to make the lights flicker.

Christmas Project

 This project was harder than I expected. There were a lot of things I didn't know how to do. But i made everything from scratch! I made the clouds by changing the settings on the brush. And the clouds were done by using fuzziness.

Retouching!

  This project was awesome! I only had trouble with the the brightening/whitening part of the project because the way I painted my mask looked good at first, but then when I changed the hue/saturation you could see that I painted "outside" the lines. Besides that, the whole retouching process with the spot healing brush, regular healing brush, and the clone stamp was really cool because I didn't realize how well those tools went to together!

Raven Follow-Up

I didnt struggle with this project as much as I thought I was going to! I really enjoyed using the actions panels. The only thing I really struggled with was making the selection for the DVD itself, only because it had to be a perfect circle and for some reason I couldn't make it! I used a drop shadow on the clouds and a different brush for the stars on the clouds.

The Raven

This project was more difficult than I thought it would be! I struggled with the levels adjustments. The colors didn't seem to add up and go well when I did the adjustment at first so it took me a while to complete that. After a while of doing it over and over again, I got the hang of the levels and saw what a difference it made. Besides that, the steps were pretty straight forward and easy to understand. I really liked the words on the walls a lot and I am going to use that technique in the future!

Dream Skin

This project was harder than it looks! We worked a lot with the channels and blurs. We used lots of textures to make the skin end up as the final result. I enjoyed the project!

Out of Bounds

This project was harder than I thought it would be! I liked it a lot though, because I learned a lot of new techniques! We worked with the channels which is something I haven't had much experience with except for one or two projects last year.

This project was so fun! I had trouble trying to figure out what I would use for this follow up, but I knew that it had to be really colorful. I did things differently with the channels than I did in the last out of bounds project. This time around it was easier to complete!
