Photoshop Tutorial - Adjustment Layers, Healing, Spot Healing, Clone Tools, Colour Matching

A while ago I did have a Photoshop lesson. However, I am re-doing it because I never took screen shots to show you lovely people. The first stage I look at is creating adjustment layers, now with adjustment layers you can add a special effect to them, such as curves. Curves are very good for creating the tone of the image, using bars running up diagonally you can adjust the tone to how you desire. 

Using the healing tool and holding down ‘alt’ you can duplicate an element of an image. The spot healing tool is amazing for demolishing wrinkles and lines, I have had an attempt on an image of a rhino. The spot healing tool is very useful for fashion magazine editors. Another great tool to use it the Clone tool, for this experiment I used a photograph of a lamp, pressing down alt I creating a duplicate of the lamp. 

Thirdly, using the rectangular marquee tool and the clone tool I can manage to demolish items. An image with a Jeep in a desert was a good challenge. It was very tricky as items can duplicate, but with time and concentration you can make it look very realistic. 

Here is a sampling of the cloth that my fellow workshoppers produced over the course of a weekend. As I mentioned in the previous post, all warps were set up and ready to go - 6 warps with a selection of 3 set-ups (block draft, point draft, and deflected dw)
