first impression of Photoshop:
designed Starting with Photoshop to be difficult because there are just so many buttons, tools and settings and the program does not seem built especially clear. You have about 1-2 hours just trying to procure a rough overview. Also working with the various levels must learn first to have it easier later.
The task:
We should create two postcards with Photoshop "My Home". We should use at least 5 of the tools that were presented in the exercise. One of the photo collages should be shown as we see our home town subjective, the other collage should be as objective as possible. Both cards should be uploaded in the blog. We also need to decide which of the two cards, print them in postcard format and send it to the cpe-Chair.

How to:
objective view: For an objective view I have initially chosen as the basis of a picture of my hometown Herschberg, which I made from a bit further away, so I was able to integrate one after the other buildings in this landscape. As the weather on the day on which I made the picture was not so special and the sky was pretty gray, I cut the bottom half of the image of the upper half with the help of Polygonal Lasso. As background I then selected a panorama in which the sky is beautiful blue and have my own half of the image at the next level down about it. Unfortunately I had to move here with my picture so far up that was in the lower back to see something of the background. This image section is why I have completed using the Clone Stamp from the upper part of the picture out. When you have to clone stamp the Alt key and hold until you have clicked to the area from which you want to add the colors. Then you can release the Alt key and elsewhere continue to paint with the colors and patterns from the selected field. After that I dedicated myself to the buildings. I first kindergarten using the Polygon Lasso cut and scaled. Then copied and pasted into a new level. In the next level, I have done the same thing with the Citizens' Hall. Next was the turn of the Church of Herschberg. This I first had to reflect because I wanted to position it on the other side of the road. After that, I still have it in perspective somewhat straightened, because it distorts the picture I had to pick up something in order to have all fit on it. Before the church was just a car that had covered one of the corners. When you cut, I cut around the car and then completed the church with the help of the Clone Stamp. In the next level, I've entered the forest house. In a another level, I have the sports home set against which to conceal the hedge that stands in front of the house and forest would have made such a difficult integration in all the snow. The sports home I had to reflect, because it usually the other way around to the street and would not have fit. In the next two levels, I then inserted nor the "Welcome to Herschberg" sign and the sign with the sign "throughout the local area Restricted winter. Since the two plates are areas that I could not cut straight through which you see the background but must, I am with the Clone Stamp in the layer with the image of (almost) all Herschberg clicked back and then the color recorded. Then I switched back into the appropriate level, with a sign, and I also made this color is visible again. But I had to repeat this process several times so I have not painted in some areas snow, where even the street, and vice versa. At the sign on my original picture, unfortunately, the bar was too short, too this, I then completed with the Clone Stamp by multiple single clicks.
Thus, the building became more integrated into the landscape, I am also here with the Clone Stamp again went along along the bottom edge so that I could still accumulate a bit of snow in front of the building and then applauded not just in the landscape should act.
Finally, I then cut out a few snow-covered fir trees, which I placed in the foreground, so that the card in this area has not so empty. Because these trees were cut pretty hard, I still had the edges formed with the Clone Stamp and Smudge smooth afterwards.
The original image:
subjective view: The second postcard I have put our house in the middle, because for me it is most important. The other pictures I have simply placed around the outside as they are just occurred to me, when I think of Herschberg. Also from the different scaling is the importance to be stressed. The pictures I have kept this card in their proportions. The background I have is black in color, later to achieve the maximum contrast white text. With every picture I've created a new level, so I later in the blurring of the edges do not mix the colors of each image. To blur the edges one after I clicked on the different levels and have always blurred with single clicks and a small movement of the edges to a sort of jagged pattern to get. My house is on the level of all other frames so that the image by other Corners protrude into it, loses its importance. The arrangement of the planes had to change me several times so that there was no overlap.
for the expression I have chosen an objective view.
Summary of Photoshop: first I did not really cope with Photoshop, because there were so many functions, of which I would not exactly know what I can do with them all. The subjective view was my first work with Photoshop at all. I tried myself more of a few basics. With the objective point of view, I then pretty much used everything I had taught myself through trial and error. In the future, I will probably work a lot with Photoshop, the program now because I really fun and there are still a lot to discover.
