October 27, 2010 iPhoto Challenge

Our assignment today was to make a perfect copy of a photo that our teacher showed us. To do this, we went into iPhoto and used the effects and editing tools to change this picture :
  to this picture: 


My version:

 to this picture:


Pretty close, isn't it? I went into iPhoto and used the edit tool to do this. I enhanced the original photo, and added a Boost Color effect. Then, I went into the "Adjust" function and put the contrast to 30 and saturation to 51. I also put shadows to 25 and de-noise to 10. Then, I zoomed into the photo and used the re-touch function to straighten out the dancer's cheek and necklace.

That's it for today. So far, iPhoto has been pretty good to me, even if it 
 took a little while to figure out the re-touch function. I really do like this
 program (Not that it compares to photoshop or anything), so hopefully
 we'll be working in it a bit more. 

Edit: Sorry, will fix the link on the second picture. I didn't know 
that it would break.
