Blog Assignment#2
http://www.worth1000.com/tutorials/163028/lighting This is the tutorial I choose.

This is the original photo I select online. It is also an indoor image which has a lots of lamp that I can work on.



Here is my final work.
From the start, I learn to duplicate layers and merge layers. Then, in this tutorial, in the filter button, I choose Blur and Gaussian Blur to make the room darker than before. Besides, I learn to adjust the brightness and color contrast of the picture by changing the number. Finally, I choose the eraser tool and change the brush size and hardness which can help me make the soft lightning around those lamps. That really makes the room soften and warm.

It is amazing to learn this in the tutorial!

BLOG ASSIGNMENT#1



This artist called WeiBB is from my hometown Chengdu China. She is now very famous for her pictures and creation of art. Her ideas from life are fantastic making her photos attractive and creative. However, the more important thing is that she uses the photoshop as a very successful tool to make her photo better.

In these three photos, she catches the scenes that often appear in our daily life. For instance, the little boy who is naked is standing surrounded by the fountain.Then the second one shows that another photographer who also focuses on the old women. The last one is her own hands holding the letter B which presents her name. In these three photos, she always uses photoshop to do the picture beautification such as color adjusting,  inputing texts and making photos together. After doing photoshop,from my point of view, every single picture shows more than what the original idea presents.
Lighter background or stronger contrast bring us more effect than the picture its own feeling. Consequently, using computer and photoshop makes her work excellent.
