LO3: Storage and Processing of Images


This folder named 'Sheffield Photography' contains all my raw images I took in Sheffield. I will curate these into my final 10 selected photos to use for my project.

Photograph Curation

To begin with, I uploaded all my images onto Adobe Bridge; a program used for categorizing to sort out the collection and finalize the pictures that I will want to feature in my project. Initially, I gave each photo a personal rating from 1-3 stars based on their technical quality; any that were too blurry or missed the subject were rejected. I filtered out 1 stars and rejections, and then give the remainder a label based on how well I think they relate to the Project title. Pictures I can't decide on I gave a blue label and some that I considered work well enough on their own or that ones I could merge with others to improve a single image I gave a purple to do label. Red labeled selections are filtered out and then I up the rating on the remainder of photographs, from 3-5 stars; 3 show me that the image will probably not be used, 4 stars for a photo that i think needs editing and a 5 star, green labeled photo represents that I will definitely use it in the portfolio as a a raw image or for the use of editing.

Here are some screenshot's of my filtered Adobe Bridge folder of raw photos.




These final selected images I will use either alone as one of photos or use them to create a combined image.

After this process, I start using Photoshop to edit my selected work how I deem fit by using techniques and tools learnt in Mr Helliwell and Miss Allen's lessons.
