In this unit you will use your newly acquired Photoshop skills to create TWO surreal photo composites.
(Guest speaker Feb 1st, no time to work on project)

Part 1: Photoshop 'Double Exposure' Portrait
Due: Completed composite due Tuesday, February 6th 
Following the tutorial we completed (or similar), create a portrait or self portrait using YOUR OWN photographs. We will learn to light a portrait on a white background in the studio, and then use another image or even several images you have taken. Think about the significance of the images you select. What might they tell us about the person? How do the images match in mood or emotion?

Part 2: Creative Surreal Photo Composite
Planning Sketch: Friday, February 9th
Images Shot by: Wednesday, February 14th
Completed composite due Thursday, February 22nd (No school Feb 16 & 20)
After researching Surrealism, you will brainstorm your surreal photo composite. Once you have your idea, you will plan your image to determine what photos you will need to take to create your image in Photoshop. Once our plan is approved by Mrs. Olden, you can check out a camera to shoot the images you need. Next, import your images and get to work compositing in Photoshop!

• Create your own ORIGINAL surreal image.
• Every image must be your own.
• In Photoshop, use layers and layer masks.
• The finished product should be aesthetically pleasing.
• The finished product should be like a dream that we want to interpret (something deeper than just a “trippy” image).
• Avoid cliche

For this unit you need to download & unzip this folder, then import images into Lightroom.

PART 2 - Exposure Correction:
1. –Crop the image to a size and resolution where someone could make a 5x7 or 7x5 inch print (you choose the orientation: portrait or landscape). 
–Check the image’s Histogram. 
–Use Levels to “fix” the exposure issues. 
–Save your fixed file.
2. Then do the same step to the Image 2.jpg photograph, but crop it to 4x6 or 6x4, use curves, not levels.


PART 3 - Retouching:
A. Couple (image 4)
1. Right click on 'Couple' image to open, select 'Edit In' > 'Photoshop CC' > 'Edit copy with Lightroom adjustments' 
2. Use Levels and Curves to “fix” the exposure issues or do later in Lightroom.
3. Right-click on background in layers panel and Duplicate the background, name it 'Retouch'
4. Use the Spot Healing Brush, Healing Brush, and/or Patch tool to REALISTICALLY fix wrinkles and blemishes (on the top/duplicate layer).
5. Use the Clone Stamp Tool to REALISTICALLY give the man an earring to match the woman’s (on the top layer). Don't over do it and make these people look worse!
6. See if there are any blemishes the Patch Tool would fix.
7. As you work hide your duplicate/retouched layer to see a before and after by clicking on the 'eye'.
