Week 4 (13/9/2021) Adjustment Layer and filters
Adjustment layer - A group of non-destructive image editing tools, adds color, and tonal adjustments to image without permanently changing its pixels. You can edit and discard your adjustments or restore your original image at any time. Makes work flow in Photoshop more efficient and easier.
Adjustment layer is considered a new layer, a properties panel specific to the type of adjustment you've selected will pop up. Brightness/contrast - Adjustment for tonal range of image. Adjusts highlights and shadows.Level - Adjust the levels of the shadows, mid-tones, and highlights. Also the most commonly used adjustment layer.Curves - Allows you adjust as many points as you want throughout the entire tonal range of an image. The most powerful and precise tool for editing tones in an image.Exposure - Adjust exposure levels with three sliders; Exposure, Offset, and Gamma. Exposure adjusts only the highlights, Offset adjust the mid tones, Gamma adjust only the shadows.
Selective Color - Selectively modifies the amount of a primary color without modifying the other primary colors.

PRACTICAL
Week 4 (12/9/2021) Project 1
The Exercise this week was to learn about adjustment layers and filters, and apply them to the chosen compositions done last week.

Fig 1.2 ; Composition with Adjustment layers and filters (16/9/2021)
Fig 1.3 ; Final PDF (16/9/2021)
Before this exercise, I had no idea about the adjustment layer feature on Photoshop. When using the software, I had edited and added filters onto the layers itself. Due to Photoshop's limited amount of undoes, I had to be super careful, and if I changed my mind on something, my fate was basically sealed. That was unless I went back and did the edits all over again. The Adjustment Layer features makes things more flexible and I could readjust everything whenever I pleased. Once again, explains why Photoshop is an industry staple.
