Photoshop Workshop Trials

Following our last few photoshop sessions I have accumulated a number of digital experiments.  They began with simple methods of cleaning an image, and have progressed to exploring blending modes and textures.

1. Original with basic editing / use of levels

2. More intense contrast and severe levels settings

3. Hue/saturation change which added flecks of neon colours

1. Hue/saturation values increased heavily. The crisp white background was lost somewhat

2. Addition of simple block colours and the use of the multiply layer mode

3. Another example of hue/saturation but with a cooler shade

1. A combination of blending modes creates variations in colour and line style

2. Similar to above

3. The use of colour halftones to introduce pattern/texture (as below, also)

I enjoy experimenting with blending modes as there are endless possibilities to what can be produced. Building up layers and textures within images can add depth to an image that began as something simple.

These digital processes can mimic collage and other printing methods (e.g. halftone) which is also interesting.
