MIDTERM #4

It was fun to do this midterm. I took several snapshots in different locations and finally decided on this one. I think it was a good choice since it allows for a view of the whole avatar, including the feet. Among other things, I had to use the dropper and brush technique to erase a blue button present in the screen that had the words "stand up" inside and that was located at the level of the floor. I used Gimpshop for cropping, writing the greeting message, and for erasing the "stand up" button.

Please consider this version a preliminary one. For grading only consider the spheres that have my name on which I posted in March. This is the PNG version.

Please consider this and the other two without my name on preliminary versions. For grading please consider the ones posted in March that do have my name on. This is the JPEG version of this golden sphere.

Please consider this and the next two that do not have my name on them, preliminary versions. The official ones for grading will appear under the work done in March and will have my name in light blue color. This is the gif image.

MIDTERM #2

I really love cats so this assignment was very much fun to do. The process for this midterm consisted in the following. I first downloaded the cat image. I then opened it in GIMP. Using the rectangle select region tool I selected the area under the cat near the bottom of the image. I then filled the selected area with white color, by clicking on white BG color. Then with the type tool, I wrote the caption, choosing the desired letter font, size and color.

MIDTERM #1

This was by far the hardest to complete. It took me several hours to do. Using Gimpshop, I first desaturated the red from the eyes by using the elliptical tool to surround the reddened part and then choosing Colors, hue saturation and the saturation button which I pushed all the way to the left. I then used the dropper and paintbrush technique to color the eye as needed choosing different colors from the parts of the eye that were never red. I zoomed normal photos of brown eyed people in order to observe naturally occurring patterns of hues of brown, black and gray in good pictures of brown eyes. This helped in order to do the best choice of combinations of these hues for the already desaturated formerly red eyed part of this baby's eyes. I made sure not to paint the naturally occurring very small white spots in the middle of each eye which could be seen after desaturating the eye from the red color. I made great use of the "zoom in" option under "View" during both parts of the process.
