Today I have been using Photoshop CS6 to digitally manipulate an image of the human anatomy to suggest anger within the body. To do this I added images of smoke in separate layers and overlaid them. I explored different opacity settings and blending options to ensure the smooth transition between each layer. To do this I followed different tutorials from the following two books:
Evening, M. (2014) Adobe Photoshop CC for photographers, 2014 release: A professional image editor’s guide to the creative use of Photoshop for the Macintosh and PC. United Kingdom: CRC Press. and Kelby, S. (2012)
The adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 book for digital photographers. Berkeley, CA: Peachpit Press Publications.
I am quite pleased with the outcome of this image because I believe it does represent the emotion physically however I think I may fine tune the image as I continue to develop my Photoshop technical ability.
