On yur cntact sheet, I shuld see the fllwing: White Balance Device Shts when pssible. All shts have had White Balance (when pssible) adjusted in Camera RAW. Apply white balance crrectin befre making cntact sheets 5 (scenes) = 5 expsures plus WB device shts minimum Take yur 2 best images thrugh the Camera RAW wrkflw prcess in the Develp Mdule f Adbe Lightrm. These must shw 2 different Clr Schemes. At least ne f these images needs t have had clr enhanced thrugh Camera RAW / LR Develp Menu by using any f the fllwing: HSL Menu Split Tne Menu Lcal Clr Adjustment with Adjustment Brush r Graduated Filter Apply Lcal Adjustments t bth images in Phtshp n individual layers. (edits as.psd files)

(.tif) Make 2 ink jet prints based ff f these files. Prints with white at the edges need a brder dne during edit r printing prcess. Submit all files in ne flder t class drpbx. Fill ut self-evaluatin frm prir t crit. Label Flders And Files As Shwn Belw: Assignment Flder: Example: mtruitt_a4 Cntact Sheet mtruitt_a4_cs.jpg Raw Files: mtruitt_ A4_#_ClrScheme.NEF (List the clr scheme) (use apprpriate raw file extensin r DNG) Example: mtruitt_a4_1_cmplimentary.dng Edits frm RAW Files: mtruitt_ A4_#_ClrScheme-Edit.DNG Edits frm Phtshp Files: mtruitt_a4_#_clrscheme-edit.psd Print Files mtruitt_ A4_#_ClrScheme-Print_8x10.TIF Grading Emphasis: 1. Cmpletin f requirements. 2. Ability t phtgraph clr harmny. 3. Ability t phtgraph clr cntrast. 4. Ability t use clr t create visual emphasis. 5. Use f Camera RAW and Adjustment Layers with Layer Masks t enhance clr. 6. Technical ability fr Camera RAW & Phtshp basic wrkflw.

3 Part 1: Clr Harmny: 1. Sht at least 1 scene that uses a clr scheme that emphasizes harmny. These include analgus clr schemes. The majrity f the clrs in the scene shuld fllw this clr scheme. Example Clr Schemes include: Blue, Blue-Green, Green Yellw, Yellw-Green, Green Yellw, Orange, Red Part 2: Clr Cntrast: 1. Sht at least 1 scene that uses either cmplimentary clr schemes r warm vs. cl clr schemes. The majrity f the clrs in the scene shuld fllw this clr scheme. 2. Use clr cntrast t create visual emphasis n a specific subject r part f the scene. 3. There are a variety f ways t create clr cntrast as shwn in the PwerPint Presentatin. Yu can utilize and f the fllwing: Cntrast f Hue Needs at least 3 strng hues Light Dark Cntrast with Hue Mnchrmatic, r almst mnchrmatic images wrk well fr this. Images sht at night r in shadws can lk mainly blue. Images sht in bright midday can lk mainly yellw. Images sht at sunrise r sunset can lk mainly range, vilet, red-vilet Remember that yu need tnal cntrast t make this wrk.

4 Cl Clrs Vs. Warm Clrs This wrks best if the majrity f the image has ne side f the clr wheel, and the minrity f the image has the ther side f the clr wheel. Cmplementary Clrs (Cmmn Examples) Orange / Blue Red / Green Yellw / Vilet Saturatin Cntrast Think abut having ne saturated r vibrant hue next t a scene that has mainly muted clrs. Extensin Cntrast A minrity f the image shuld be f ne clr, while the majrity is f anther clr. This technique wrks well with ther clr schemes such as the first three listed abve.
