Day 2 on Pixlr!

 
Color Replacing!
For this project you will need to replace the color of the MAIN object - NOT the entire image. You will have to select and edit parts, not edit the whole. Using Curves and Levels WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE EFFECT YOU WANT. Hue and Saturation will. The Background colors should not be changed when you adjust. Here are some pointers and hints to get you going:
 
For the Zebra: You will need to select the zebra using your lasso tool and do the adjusting there. You need to use Adjustments -> Hue and Saturation. Be sure to check the box that says colorize! If you do this, you will change his white stripes to a color. If you want to change his black stripes, you will need to select each one of them, and fill it with the color you want. The top example is done with the selecting then filling, the bottom is the lasso and hue and saturation one. Both would be correct.
 
For the Flower: You can use the magic want to select it then use Hue and Saturation to adjust the color there. You do not have to check the colorize box, if you want a more natural color. If you don't want a natural color, then check it. 
 
For the Dress: You are on your own! Figure it out.

  • One should be high intensity, or Extreme  (either in color or black and white contrast)
  • One should be low intensity, or Dull (in color or black and white contrast)
  • One should be a neutral intensity (not dull and not too vivid, but different)

Internet Vocabulary

You will need to have these defined. Copy and paste them into a Word Document and then put the definitions that you find from the internet on them. BEFORE YOU PUT ANY DEFINITION -  ASK THE TEACHER. You can help each other. Here is a hint on Copy and Paste: Ctrl + C is copy, once you have a text highlighted, and then ctrl + v is paste once you have clicked on where you want the text. Ask me for help, if someone next to you has it going, get them to help you too.
