Steve's photoshop multiplicity

Multiplicity & Photoshop Experimentation


We experimented using the different tools on photoshop such as, marquee tool (elliptical, rectangular and single row) eraser and paint bucket. These created different shapes and produced different marks.

We then experimented with multiplicity by going out and shooting a series of photos using a camera and tripod, we could not move the tripod. In each photo our partner had to change into a different position. Here is the series of photos I shot. We entered these images into camera raw where we could edit them all the exact same.
 
Photoshop > file > scripts > load files into stack
This loaded the images up as different layers in the layers panel.

We added a layer mask to each photo, where we used the eraser to remove each person. This meant we wasn't damaging the original photo as it acts like a layer of plastic.
 
We then inverted it to make it visible. We repeated this process until each person was visible. Once, all the figures were visible I could then refine them to make sure none of the figures had transparent areas.
This is my final multiplicity, I am pleased with my final piece as there are no transparent sections and each figure looks refined. However, I think I should have added more figures to the left as it looks blank. Although, I could just crop the left hand side of the image.

Panoramic Experiment

Image
Panoramic Experiment  I went out and shot a series of photos which overlap each other. I experimented using the camera portrait and landscape and also taking straight portrait images and taking landscape overlapping images, such as the last two. Photoshop > automate > photomerge Then select the photos I wanted to use and photoshop merged them together.  I then experimented with the different themes such as, reposition, collage, perspective, cylindrical and spherical.  These different themes changed the way the panoramic looked.  Theme : Collage I like this theme of editing as it doesn't make the photo look spherical. It makes the image look like a wide angle lens. I think this could be refined by extending the view and making sure the final images line up. Theme : Spherical This image looks rounded. I don't like how it looks stretched and further away. I also don't like how the final outcome of this image because to loose the white...
