Kensington Market Photobook Cover Design

I altered one of the photos I took down at Kensington to make a cover image for my photobook. I'm still trying to figure out an optimal layout. I was originally going to do it portrait-oriented but looking at my selections and this cover image I'm thinking it might be best to do a horizontal flipbook...

For this I pretty much just selected the colour range of the lettering, selected the inverse, and cleared that selection. Then I applied the glowing edges filter and outer glow layer style, replacing the yellow with a light blue.

Panorama!

I went shooting on campus with Andrew Vizmuller looking for a good panoramic scene. It was very windy that day so we stuck to architectural shots. I took 5 photos in a row from left to right, panning the camera on my tripod.

In order to blend them together I loaded the photos into PS and then made a new document wide enough to fit the length of the 5 photos in their original size. I put each photo in on their own layer, overlapping and lowering opacity so I could figure out where exactly they should be placed. I had to transform/adjust/warp/tweak most of the photos to make them fit well with each other. That was definitely a challenge. I used a soft brush to blend in the edges together, then linked everything and adjusted the levels to create consistency in brightness and colours.
This is the first panorama I've ever done so it took longer than expected, but I am quite happy with the final result :)

Had a bit of trouble with this, cuz I could not for the life of me figure out this f-stop 22 stuff so I just winged it and did my best.

Red eye removal

I took this picture of Dana on our group trip downtown. The redness on her eye is the result of an injury from a random attack. So I decided to try a first attempt at removing it..
