This has been another interesting week and I am really enjoying these lectures, keep them coming Steve! The digital imaging lecture was really helpful and gave me a better understanding of the types of computer graphics.
I have now come to realise how much work I need to do and how I need to keep up with the work. I have also realised how important it is to fully plan out the week and take time thinking about what needs to be done. I now feel that I have a lot of work to do and really need to stick to my time plan to get it done and I might end up putting a bit more self study in.
I have really been looking forwards to the image restoration task and now I have started it my anticipation has been rewarded. I have not had much experience in Photoshop and on Tuesday morning we were given a brief tutorial on the needed tools. This did help a lot and I would have been stuck with out it.
I am really enjoying the image restoration and hope that I don’t spend too much time on it, because there’s still the other assignment to do. I really hope that Steve doesn’t make me start the image restoration again as I will end up spending a lot of time on it the second time round, just to make sure it is suitable.
I am enjoying using Photoshop and am getting used to it already. I just need to practice and get used to the tools before I feel confident using it, as there are still some tools I am unsure what do. So now I am defiantly looking forwards to using the program in the future, as I am amazed at what can be achieved in the program and the vast selection of tools available.
I finally started my second sketch book on Tuesday and because of that I feel behind, since I know most people were on their second sketch book quite awhile ago. It feels good to have started a new sketch book, but there’s one thing annoying me about it and that is it has a great big sticker stuck on the front. Even more annoying is the fact it won’t come off easily and I have spent half the day picking at parts of it to try and get it off. Now there’s a sticky residue that I know will really bug me every time I pick it up.
Don’t worry about not starting a new sketchbook until now… I haven’t either. It depends on a lot of things, not least the size of your writing!
I am enjoying the image restoring to. I think that the presentation really helpped as ive never used the software before and I found it really usefull.
I am the same worried that I will spend more time on restoring the image as there is loads of other work that needs to be done at the same time so making sure that we plan what days where going to do the tasks will help loads.
Yeah, I’ve not finished my sketchbook either.. I have also looked around and saw other people like half-way through their second and got worried that there is not enough work in mine. I just thought along the lines of what Tom said about different people have different sized hand writing and present things in individual ways.
It’s good to see that you found the small Photoshop tutorial lecture helpful and interesting, it’s amazing what can be acheieved just by knowing the basics of PS. Alot of the work you’ll do in the future on it will show these basics and rarely will move from these; well I think that from personal experience.
Hey Greg
I am also starting a new sketch book and have the same feelings, it will be hard, as you will have to add a new index and such to the new one. I think that this just proves that the sketchbooks are allot more useful than people thought on the first day.
I am also enjoying the image restoration, mainly because its more practical from the other work we have done so far, but it does take a lot of time than originally thought, colouring each pixel in individually is hard and takes a lot of time, I have been doing it all week and I am still not finished. However as well as doing this I have to do referral work so there was a lot of work this week anyways for me without this. This is why I am glad I booked of work to allow me to be able to complete everything.
I recommend using http://www.dasforum.co.uk , if you need any advice and tips on using Photoshop.
Thanks, Martyn
I have used Photoshop a bit just using for a few tutorials to see what its capabilities are. I needed the lecture on the Tuesday to help me with the picture as I haven’t done Image restoration before. So i found it very useful as well.
There are quite a few other people in the class who have just started their second sketchbook, me included. you dont have to feel like your behind, people have bigger handwriting than others as well.
I am also enjoying the image restoration, and, like you, havent come to terms with all the tools as yet.
Comment deadline.
