Masking in Photoshop

 Masking 

Masking is one term but many uses. sometimes it is used for correcting mistakes, sometimes for out-of-bounds effect, for making image composites, etc. In this session, we learned 3 types of masking. Layer Masking,  Vector Making, Clipping Mask. 


Exercise 1 was to make a normal mask which is separating the main subject from the background and we had to merge it into another image. the source was provided and we learned new tools like select and mask so we can modify the mask whenever we want otherwise masking is destructive change and we cant redo it.

The masking is also used for out-of-bounds effect this effect is simple but spectacular and this is one of my favorite effects because it gives a 3d effect without the hassle. In this effect, we just had to add a picture and a text in that way in which we can use this effect. then by applying this effect we can add out some part of the duplicated picture and move it forward in layers so it looks like it is coming out of a particular text.

The other use of masking is to divide images into multiple independent objects. so that we can edit the colors separately and easily thus making an eye-catching and contrasting image. These types of images can be used anywhere ranging from posts to movie posters. In this project, we cut out some specific parts of the picture to add some colors. This was the project in which we learned about dissolving modes. what are they and how they are used. Mainly to add colors to any textured photograph. We also learned how to add a drop shadow.

For the final project, we were directed to use all of the above methods to create a project as your final piece. 
I decided to go with A fashion brand. I started by looking up photos on Pexals. After I found them and tried to use them in photoshop as soon as I knew that this material is workable I started masking After some basic masks. we had to use Out of bound effect. I had to reimagine where to use it but after some thinking, I knew exactly where I am using it. Overall it was all fun. we also learned many things which we will use in the future.

Making of the Planets..

Image
In addition to creating planets for my project, I also wanted to create a template for the planets so that I could copy and paste them, changing the material and colour nodes to create a completely different planet. This way, I could use the template as often as necessary to create a bizarre planet for my degree project. First Step: Configuring the Sphere We start our journey by constructing a basic spherical, which will serve as the basis for our magnificent planet. To ensure seamless transitions and accurate detailing, we'll add a UV Sphere primitive and use Blender's user-friendly interface to polish its edges with a Subdivision Surface modifier. Step 2: Materials Addition: Enlivening the Planets Now that our sphere is in position, it's time to harness the magic of materials to give it life. We'll explore Blender's material editor and use the adaptable Musgrave texture to create an aesthetically appealing surface. Through the manipulation of characteristics li...

The Davinci Result and Part 1 Post Production

Image
 While working on a certain nebulae sequence, I encountered a big obstacle in my attempt to provide engaging VR material. I tried my hardest, but there was a lot of distracting noise in the footage, which took away from the intended visual effect. I set out on a quest of investigation and testing to save the sequence and improve its quality because I was determined to find a solution. I found a potentially effective solution after researching other options and talking to other creators. DaVinci Resolve is a potent video editing programme that is well-known for its strong noise-reduction features. Equipped with this fresh understanding, I enthusiastically tested this method in the hopes of reviving my problematic nebula sequence. I nervously awaited the best outcome when I applied the denoising algorithm in DaVinci Resolve after importing the video and carefully tweaking the settings. I was astounded to see the nebulae's actual beauty emerge as the noise progressively subsided and ...

Degree Project Reviews

Image
I attended a few seminars this week on my degree project. I knew exactly what needed to be done. I stopped by the level 5 session to speak with an instructor who is very knowledgeable about the Unreal Engine. I discussed my thoughts and viewpoints with him and showed him my old blog. I have been examining the Unreal Engine tutorials. Since this is my degree project and I can't afford to make any mistakes that could affect my deadline, I was concerned if this project was too ambitious for me and if should I devote more time to other modules.  Is this project idea and project feasible? was the initial query. Fortunately, the Unreal engine provides a large selection of objects and simple nod-based change, making this viable. I could finish it in the allotted time. We can even buy and utilise things like plugins for Unreal Engine online, and they will function flawlessly.  After that, the question became whether I could dolly and animate a camera in any way I wanted to, as my goal...
