Reflection 2

1. My task was to use the edit tools to take a part off a picture, make a canyon look less damage, help a man's face get clearer, and to edit the background and hat of a little girl with using editing tools. To be able to remove or replace a part of a photo without it looking "photoshopped"
2.The clone stamp tool was able to replace a area with using another area, which is easily used when their is a repeating pattern, to be able to take something out of a photo without it looking like it was just deleted out, but put owver by the surrounding background to give it a more realistic feel. The healing brush was a lot like the clone stamp tool. It took one area of a photo and replaced with another, therefore helping me out in the canyon photo by repairing and recovering the cracks and such. The patch tool was a selection on an area then it fills the selected area with the content around it or be replaced by a copied selected area. The spot healing brush was like a combination of the patch and the healing brish, it cleared a selected area by using its surroundings to look more realistc.
3. This project could've helped me out with the two Lanzs one. I could of been able to make it look more realistic and I couldve added affects to it and make it look like I was actually interacting with my other self, so to speak.
4. I think the healing brush really fit me. I was absolutely shocked when I realized that I was able to form a replacement to cover up a area. This can really help me out in future photos.

Reflection number 3

1. my task was to be accustommed with the edit toolds such as the fill bicket tool, whcih
i used to change colors in a immediate form, the blur tool to highlight a part of a photo to make it look like a high focused camera, the dodge and burn tool to edit a old photo and bring back some color and recover it, and finally desaturated and used the gradient tool on a picture.
2. The magic eraser erases a certain color found in a photo.  The blur toold like blurs a photo and makes it look like a focused area is being highlighted in a photo. The dodge tool brightens a selected part of the photo. The burn tool darkens a selected part of the photo. The sponge tool either desaturates on saturates a image. The paint bucket tool fills an area which selected with a certain color. The gradient tool puts an effect on the selected area, desaturation.
3. The editing project from before, so I can be able to make the replaced areas look more realistic and not so much photoshop, especially photo B of the previous project.
4. The best tool I found was the blur tool. It gave me a immediate effect to creatively highlight a area of a picture so who ever sees it can identify the hotspot or the focus spot of the picture give it a figurative selection type.

Reflection Questions Vanderputen

1. A mask in photoshop is a type of selection by using a color to shade in the part you want to select. It creates a area where you can select out of the maiin area to customize or focus on different affects to either improve or fix that part.

2.Red is the actual shade, Black and White is the two colors you need when you click the mask tool to correctly select what you want through mask. Red is the color you get to use as the shade you  use to paint the area you want to select.. The black and White are the sort of default colors you need to put to in order to make selections.
3. I used the Paint tool to shade my selection. It was able to shade the area I needed to focus on. I also used the eraser tool to take away parts that I did not need in my selection.
4.It is round and it makes it a more smoother edge. The mask really is specific to hit every aspect of the portion  and it is a critical tool for a fast selection.
5.Adjustment layer made the selected area differ from its layer without cutting it out. Adjustment layers customize the selected area to your own effects, in this project I used it as a black and white background

6.masks are faster and more efficient way to get a selection. The selection tools takes more time and is useful in only adding or subtracting a selection, but I found the mask tool my primary tool for selecting.

I disagree with the stupid antics of Ocuppy Wall Street

 When I hear about ,Occupy Wall Street , I think of unhygienic hippies who are blindly attacking officers for a disputed cause. I agree that their cause is great, down with the corporate powerhouses, but then I think wait what? Why should we blame the people who have devoted their life to their work leading a successful business for today's economy? The businesses only did actions they did to survive, survival of the smartest. People blame the "big-businesses" but they hold thousands of peoples lives. The corporate managers have their own employees that they are protecting from Janitors to Vice-Presidents their literally saving people. If these protestors actually practiced and reviewed to increase their skills, they might even have a chance in our new world. We have a new era... Our population has greatly increased , are new technological age have terminated jobs, and now the comptition is more challenging then ever. Our society is expanding in every way, our human population has to keep up. We can't blame the rich for their success, they worked hard for it. Their are some who misused their corporate power, but study on learning for self-success to reach your own goals. The protestors are just college fanatics who thought that they can make life simpler in a communist society. We all saw what happened in Communist countries. We fought a damn war about it. Now these fanatics are starting their own little group of communism. Another thing they are not the 99%, they are the 39% of the world. I do not want a smelly hobo student to represent me. Their biggest accomplishment is costing the NYPD millions of dollars of overtime. Instead of our police officers protecting and keeping order in the City, they're in Zucotti park getting harrassed by hooligans. Which brings me to another topic, these protesters can't keep order in their camps.... People are being raped repeatedly, their are more them lazy protesters populating the camps. I'm glad they can no longer sleep in the camps. They have to rent a place in the city which is ironically supporting businesses, but a bad factor is they'll run out of money and become a hobo, staining the beautiful city of New York

Hearing comments from protesters blaming the rich. They don't work as hard as us. They just sit in their big executive chairs, and cash big checks. Really? Pouring people coffee is harder than running a business with 10,000 people. They're working hard thinking and I guess that is the big difference. They're paid for their thoughts, their expertise and their experience. And I hate to break it to you, but your amazing skills pouring coffee into a cup or scrubbing toilets isn't that high of a demand.

To suggest that someone who is smarter than you (and yes they are) owes you is nothing more than Karl Marx ideology. is said by a blogger who I agree with http://capitalist-shrugged.blogspot.com/2011/10/occupy-wall-street-is-stupid.html

As a panda fanatic, I tend to search for information about these delightful creatures. Even if you don't like to research, its always nice to know that some animal is saved in the world. This site is a cheerful sight to behold in our unexplored internet.

This site is a hotspot for information about Pandas and where they are kept and protected. It also holds basic info about them and has facts that is always updated. It shows the environment and needed things to keep these animals into safety.

It is a well organized site with individual attention on all aspects about Pandas.

The purpose of this site, is to inform the world about recent panda activities such as transfers ,rescues, and sadly deaths. The Panda numbers are dwindling and to know that some of these animals still exist brings a light of happiness.

Information about basic Panda needs, Zoos that keep Pandas, and the occasional story about a Panda :D

This site is well divided into sub-sections of Panda information. Then the panda topics are well talked about with a picture to really describe a topic.

In three clicks you can easily find information about the local zoo activities or basic info about the native Panda

The Skyrim blog :D

The new video game which has took the gaming universe by storm is a massive addictive game. Skyrim is a RPG game from the long lined Elder Scrolls series from the famous, Bethesda Softworks. Every grand game needs a informational place. The Elder Scrolls wiki has proved to be the most legitimate site I've been to. I am a hardcore Bethesda fan , so when I need help  I usually search up info. This site has limitless knowledge about this massive game

This website has proved a great support in info and in history. I know that their are people in the world who have played Skyrim "blindly". They do not no the history and when a name is mentioned ,they are confused and just go straight into this joyful game. I recommended this site to all of those people whoever wanted to be updated or learn about this creative storyline.

The Elder Scrolls wiki has never disappointed me in info. Their vast library of knowledge truly amazes me of the fictional game. I have used it myself multiple times ,but I never truly understand Skyrim and Oblivion until I actually looked it up and read it.

You can find info on the Elder Scrolls series from The Arena to Skyrim. Bethesda's work of art is all printed in here (Elder Scrolls only). The infinite knowledge of a virtual man made world is stored here.

Their site has a very reliable search engine and is divided to a even amount of information. Even separating each games, if their is a topic and it is related to another it will glow blue leading you to future topics

The 3 click rule has applied greatly, even in two clicks and some typing you can always find your info about anything in the Elder Scrolls.

This is a picture of the water flooding in Japan. In recent events Japan had an earthquake. The earthquake send a wave of water into the Japanese coastline. This devastating event shows how lethal and critically powerful the wave actually was. It shows multiple vehicles being overcame and hitting the buildings. The mixture of oil, water, and debris was able to level buildings and establishments, destroying homes and businesses.

Sixty-six-year-old Yoshikatsu Hiratsuka is now homless this winter. His entire house was leveled by that massive natural wave of debris. Whole homes were destroyed by this natural disaster leaving thousands homeless. Hundreds more are missing under all this calamity. Mr. Hiratsuka has lost a family member as reports believe that his family member is still under the destroyed house.

 This is a photo of the recent activity in Egypt. Due to the dictator of Egypt has resigned through days of protest, Egyptians are now protesting to relect a democratic leader. This shows a riot that is happening as the police is trying to stop them and is responding violently. The police are using riot shields and tear gas to control the unstable class.

This airplane has been shot down. It is reason to believe the airplane was under government control. It was shot down as it was thought to believe that their was a government official trying to find asylum is another country, but the citizens did not allow this.

This is a photo of a liberator with a ak-47 raising in triumph as a missile is shot in the Egyptian borders. This is a show of Liberation of men. The person's sign of liberation shows his acts and courage to liberate his country from recent tyranny.

In the village of San Bartolome celebrates Saint Anthony's Day. They are using their tradition of riding a horse through fire to bless the animals. As the fire is raging, the man is fearless and rides right through. This Spanish village shows their love for their old tradition in these very troublesome times. 

                              

This is a photo of two police officers trying to hold off a riot. The officer on the left was hit by a flaming projectile from the protesters, though it looks his armor is shielding him, in his face he is panicking and facing a mental danger. The ferocity that the riots have become is endangering multiple lives law enforcement and protesters alike.

The Nyiragongo Crater is known to be the largest lava lake in the world , located in Congo. This is one of Africa's most famous natural places. The lava just shows sheer tensity of the strength and ferocity of nature. Its size of red heat is beautiful yet a mere physical touch with this creation is hazardous and disastrous. 

            

This competitor of the World Ski Cup is training in a a official session in the Sapproro Skyline. People are still in hope in this world, ignoring the problems and focusing on their own aspirations and dreams.

Another natural wonder. The Northern lights fill the sky as the Alaskan Tred Dog Race is going on. It shows you the beauty of nature of its natural occurences. This is a site to behold as it is one of the natural wonders of the world.

HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS A BETTER WORLD TO LIVE IN FOR EVERYONE?

Our planet is full with marvelous creatures. In truth, us humans must feed on this creations, but we are not the judge of what lives and what doesn't. Sure we are known as the most intelligent race, but we do not control nature. If a species become extinct through nature, it is a natural event. We humans cannot hunt them to the brink to extinction. Pandas are natural bears ,located in Southeast Asian provinces. They very sight of these majestic creatures bring joy to many people's eyes. We cannot murder these innocent creatures for our fur materials and bone medicine. Killing another type of animal affects the foodchain, which affects all animals.

My only wish is to save PANDAS. My wish is not a hard one. Just stop hunting and poisoning the environment of these animals. It supports the world, as it is a emotional support. Killing a Panda will leave you hurt and psychological scarred. Just the very thought that Pandas are not being killed and dragged into clothing stores makes everyone in a good mood and raises civilian morale. Its not just another protest I want, I want to make a difference.
