Scanography



Lilac: I scanned the flower on an hp deskjet 4235. I put a box over the scanner to block the light. I increased the saturation and contrast of this image in Photoshop.

Sewing Essentials: I scanned each image on an hp deskjet 4235. When I brought them into Photoshop, I increased the saturation of the images, as well as the contrast. To compile the images, I brought them all to a new, blank document. Then I added masks to each one. I decreased the opacity on just the tape measure. I masked out the backgrounds of each image.





Family; First I increased the saturation and contrast in Camera Raw, then brought all the images into Photoshop. Instead of layering them all before masking them out, I started with the blocks as the background and added one image at a time, resized and decreased the opacity, then added a mask and masked out the black.

  1. I love your floral assortment. It is truly beautiful! I think that the fact that you increased the saturation makes it that much more amazingly compelling (although, I do not know how the original colors came out...)

  2. Sarah, Your family picture looks really cool. I like how you blended the images together. Looking at the individual pictures, each of them is kind of bland, but then when you bring them together with the different opacities, it looks really cool. Good job with with your overall composition. The different blends all work together. I think it would have been easy for it just to look really busy, but it doesn't. Good job.

  3. Sarah, I love your family scanography. The idea of incorporating the blocks, hands, flower and stars is brilliant. I appreciated the vibrancy in the image. Is one of those hands your child’s? I enjoyed reading about how you created them in Camera Raw and then brought them into Photoshop. All of your other scanography images were also interesting, but this one is my favorite.
