I also used Photoshop to change the effect on an image. The change made in the after picture was achieved by implementing a painting filter. This added "brush strokes" to the image. I could make the brush strokes small or large. I choose to leave the brush strokes small, in order to not distort the image.
Since Photoshop is utilized by so many people, there are many tutorials available as well as forums explaining how to accomplish different effects. Like I said earlier in the post, I am not a super creative person but was able to utilize tools in the program to make minor changes to images. For this assignment I was required to use a picture of myself, so maybe it would have been more fun if I could have used someone/something else as the subject in the photos.
In teaching, especially Agricultural Education, we document many things through photographs (team achievements, banquets, chapter meetings, etc), Photoshop could be utilized to make those snapshots into great photos to display.
Until next time,
Kristin
