Using Hue Saturation and lightness

A changing landscape

The image above is a print screen showing how i changed the image from a simple but effective shot of a changing landscape to a more arty styleized image. I changed the levels and clicked the colourize box to create a range of different bright coloured buildings. I moved the hue to change the colour and then i moved the saturation along to make it a darker and more saturated dense colour or a less saturated and dense colour. I then changed the lightness so i could make the colour dark or light.

After changing the colour of buildings i wanted too i opened a new window and cut out a banksy image. i then copyed it onto a layer on my existing window and moved it about. I put the image on a wall because the character looks like they are sweeping rubbish underneath the curtain and you can see the bare wall behing. I felt that this would show a good example of layers. I also used the magic wand tool to highlight the grafiti that was present already and changed the colours.

In the original image you could see the tracks (as it was taken out a train window) and so i cut these out.This is because I didnt think foreground was necessary and didnt really add anything to the final image. I decided to leave the sky in black and white because I felt if it had been a big blue sky the viewers eye would have been drawn away from the buildings.
