Ok the title might not make sense yet but let me explain. I created an online game that you can play right now. The concept is fairly simple. There are clues hidden in each level that get you the next level's URL. So on and so forth. While coding the game in HTML was pretty easy since all I did was look up some basic HTML tutorials and got a deal for website hosting, it wasn't a huge deal. The majority of the game is looking at images. I had to use Photoshop to make these images. Creating these images was a huge lesson in Photoshop for me. I had to learn practically everything on my own. The main tool I use is the Curves tool. It's great at adjusting the RGB values and RGB brightness of an image. I can change each channel's strength to adjust the image just how I like it. It's also taught me about text manipulation. It's easy to think of text as a simple tool that you place and then move around, but it's far more complex than that. Text can be an important tool in creating an interesting image. Take a look at the 'After' image below! There are other factors as well. For one, I need to get good images to photoshop tbem. As you can see below, I can make a boring image of my Apple IIc into a creative, dark scene. It's all thanks to Photoshops great tools! Before: After:

It is now October 10 th. and I have my opinions on Photoshop. Photoshop is very intricate and very powerful but has some downsides. I found the interface to be simplistic, which is nice, but ultimately opaque. It's easy to forget hotkeys and spend 5 mins. searching for what caused your error or how to fix it. Time is precious and its a waste to search up functions. I found the tool switching annoying also. The wand tool and the edge select tool share the same space but require you to right click it and then select which tool you want to replace that slot and augh! It's a headache!
Photoshop does however, have some fun tools to play around with. Although I've needn't use it; I found spot cleaning tool crazy! It can fill in texture in splotches and it must be a very complicated algorithm. I also like the colorization tools. The overlay filters do a very good job in blending colors in different types. It's all way more advanced than anything I've used. |
