Contact Sheet

Row 1 was an experimentation with resolution. As resolution gets lower, the image becomes blurry and pixelated.

Row 2 tested color varieties. To do this, you had to work with the "mode" of the photo. The CMYK is the most vibrant and the DuoTone could have been done with any two colors. I happened to choose black and green.

Row 3 tested different ways to "frame" a picture. In every photo the height is 1 inch. For landscape the width is longer than the height. With the square, I set the crop tool to 1 in X 1 in and cropped the landscape. The same technique was used to create the portrait. I set the crop tool to .75 in X 1 in and cropped the previous photo.

Row 4 zoomed in on an object over several shots. I kept the crop tool at the same ratio for every cropping I did so that the size of the photo did not change. I cropped until i was satisfied with my close-up.

Row 5 used the same method as row 4 but to more of an extreme. I continued to crop to find an abstract image I liked.

Finally, Row 6 tested the different textures that could be done to a photo. My particular favorite was the "cut out" texture. I wish I could have tested these textures on larger photos to really see what Photoshop can do.
