Pumpkin Splash

Through a random search of the visual assignments I came across Splash that Color.  This assignment was very challenging.  I downloaded many different free trial programs on my computer to be able to do this color affect but it all seemed to not work.  After going back to the page and looking over at the assignment I realized that it said “You can do this in a number of ways with photo editing software or using mobile apps.”  When I read using mobile apps, a lightbulb went off.  Why hadn’t I thought about that before?? Well I got my  iPhone, and after a while of searching, and intense review reading for the perfect app, I found it!!

I downloaded an app called iSpalsh Free! Not only was it free, but it worked amazingly!  Being fall season, I decided to use the picture of the pumpkin I carved last Halloween.  I took the picture on my front porch on a cold fall day.  For the splash part of the assignment I uploaded the picture to my app, and made the whole image black and white.  After making it black and white, I had to go around and refill what I wanted to have color and what I didn’t.  This was hard for me because my fingers kept coloring outside of the pumpking which turned out to be a huge challenge.  Maybe my fingers were to big, but for some reason I could not get it to be perfect and the small imperfections showed on my picture but overall I was very happy with the turn out.

Good thing for good apps, and good phones.

Visual Assignment #5 – 2 Stars

Okay, Photoshop Express Editor definitely gets an A+ from me.  My 5th Visual Assignment was to take a picture of a normal everyday object and alter the color.  What better thing to take a picture of and change the color than a pumpkin!  Here is a side-by-side comparison of the photo that I changed the colors on.  Not only did it change the pumpkin to green, it also changed the fall tablecloth leaves green as well!

I hope that you guys like my picture and I definitely hope that you check out Photoshop Express Editor for all of the Visual Assignments that have to do with manipulating pictures.  It’s definitely the best website out there so far that I’ve found.
