Contact Sheet



The contact sheet was a good project to learn how to use photoshop and all it's tools. For the first row I used a flower with a lot of close detail, so when changing the dpi's it could be seen. At first this was hard to get the dpi numbers to fit the size of the picture, then fit the picture in the box. It is cool to see the different quality of each column.

For the second row I chose a bridge because of the pretty view. I thought this was the easiest row, because once i figured out how to fit each picture in the box, changing the modes was just a click away. DuoTone was somewhat difficult due to it being a multi-step process.

For the third row I chose people climbing a mountain, because the example sheet had people in a setting. The portrait part of this row was the most difficult due to it being blurry at times.

The fourth row was framing, and the most interesting to me. Changing the angle each time, then looking back on all the columns, you can really see the different perspectives of the store front sign that i chose, as if you were really standing in different spots.

The content row was the second most interesting. I chose a beach chair by the water. I figured a picture in a setting with an object in the picture would work best, like the examples boat and bench.

The last row was purpose and simple. I used a pug, because that is my favorite dog, and it had many wrinkles in the face which could be seen as the columns changed. I then randomly selected different ways to change the look of the picture.

This project was overall a good chance to experiment with photoshop and learn different styles of filters.
