Image Adjustment
In this assignment we are going to begin to learn how to adjust images and how to use some of the Painting tools.
There is a huge difference between Painting tools and Drawing tools. Painting tools manipulate Pixels, or individual dots of color, whereas Drawing tools manipulate paths/vectors. Paths and Vectors are made up of a series of points and the curves that are drawn through those points. If that last sentence is as clear as mud then know that when we get into that section everything will make a lot more sense.

Below you will find a collection of some of the craziest faces I could come up with. Your mission, you have no choice but to accept it, is to take one of these photos and put it into a picture replacing someone else's face. You are responsible to put my face into a place that it doesn't belong.
In the process of accomplishing this picture, you must make sure that you color adjust everything to match perfectly. If it is not believable it is not finished!!! Have fun!

Tools that are going to use/Stuff that we are going to learn
This lesson is HUGE!!!! This lesson is a perfect practice to do the image that so many of my students actually want to do. This lesson is great because you don't generally care about how my face looks in some place it doesn't belong. This allows this image to be just practice as opposed to being the "Big Show" , worth "All of the Marbles". Being able to get two images to match each other can be a difficult process. Lighting in my image will most likely not match the lighting in whatever image we are trying to place it into. The image that is the target will generally be produced with professional lighting by a professional photographer. The picture that I have of myself has none of the advantages.
I always suggest to my students to try and get a picture of themselves taken outside. The lighting outside is usually the best to work with. Pictures taken inside under halogen lights generally produce a picture that has a lot of green undertones. Natural sunlight produce images that have blue undertones, which we consider normal and natural

Videos
Final image from the project..
I went in and worked on it a little bit after the video. It sadly is not one of my favorites but I like it. The lighting on the face needs to be switched so that the shadows are on the correct side of the face. (to do this I would need to take another photo) In the video I got the size of the head WAY TOO BIG!!! I discovered this as I went in to complete the pic. I color adjusted a little more and it looks pretty good.
I took another stab at it...
OK I hate this one as well, but both are finished.
I am actually looking at doing new videos to redo this entire series because these pictures bug me that they are not perfect.

I like this one a whole lot more. I took another photo and reworked the shadows quit a bit. It's still not great which IRRITATES ME

Here is an example of what a former student did with one of the pictures above....
