Degraded Image

Zach Miller

Steps 1 and 2

• 1 – Edit in Lightroom globally (brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature, cropping)

• 2 – Edit in Photoshop selectively (skin smoothing, color, luminosity, clarity)

• Did both of these as if it was an image I would be turning in for an assignment

Step 3• Get 3 friends to tell me

what celebrity is attractive to them, and include my own to total 4

• Came up with Anne Hathaway, Kate Upton, Beyonce, and Angelina Jolie

• Find pictures of them on the internet and cut out one feature (eyes, nose, mouth) from each

Step 4

• Paste these features individually onto the image that was edited in steps 1 and 2

Step 5

• Resize the attributes to fit

• Smooth them into the image to make it look as realistic as possible

Step 6

• Change the image to black and white

• Export and convert to a jpeg

Step 7

• Print image from a crappy printer in Katherine Harper Hall

Step 8

• Draw the outline onto a new sheet of paper

Step 9

• Paint to make as realistic as possible(as frustration set in I realized it was never going to look like I intended)

Step 10• Add as much paint as possible to cover up

what looks like a dumb child’s finger-painting of frankenwoman

Step 11• Stick the tip of your finger in the paint• Leave a fingerprint on your laptop
