Task 3

feedback：

This is our homework for this week, our teacher gave us a few photos to key and then collage. This is a completely new thing for me, at first I was still very unfamiliar with it, and I couldn't remember some of the steps, but after the first collage I gradually became familiar with keying.

Adjustment Layer& Filters

The Adjustment Layers in Photoshop are a group of a super useful, non-destructive image editing tools that add color and tonal adjustments to your image without permanently changing its pixels. 

With the adjustment layers, you can edit and discard your adjustments or restore your original image at any time. This will make your workflow in Photoshop more flexible and efficient, and is an absolute must-know.

1. BRIGHTNESS / CONTRAST

Brightness / Contrast makes adjustments to the tonal range of your image. 

The brightness slider is for adjusting the highlights in your image and the Contrast slider is for adjusting the shadows in your image.

2. LEVEL

Levels modify the tonal values in an image by adjusting the levels of the shadows, midtones, and highlights. 

It’s one of the most used tools in the adjustment layer panel, and using just a touch of levels will go a long way in correcting your images.

3. CURVES

Curves let you adjust as many points as you want throughout the entire tonal range of your image, and is the most powerful and precise tool for editing the tones in an image. 

4. EXPOSURE

Exposure lets you adjust exposure levels with three sliders: Exposure, Offset and Gamma. 

Exposure will adjust only the highlights of the image, Offset adjusts the mid tones and Gamma will adjust the dark tones only.

5. SELECTIVE COLOR

The Selective Color adjustment layer selectively modifies the amount of a primary color without modifying the other primary colors in your image.
