Image Manipulation Topic Post

 Although this topic we are currently working on in class is confusing for me as someone who has no experience with photoshop, it is also very interesting to learn about. I had no idea how much goes into image manipulation in order for the creators to achieve their perfect final project. When we were learning about the Amazon warehouse photos, it was very eye opening to see how much detail the creators put into the photos. By zooming in on the rows and seeing each individual item in high quality, it showed how much time and effort the creators put into their photos. On the other hand, this unit showed the behind the scenes realities of photography and how images can be manipulated to portray totally different ideas. When talking about the Haitian girl who was killed, it was unfortunate to see the picture of all the photographers swarming around her body. The lengths that some photographers will go just to get the perfect shot are questionable to say the least. Overall, I am excited to get more in depth with the movie poster project because I feel it is a great opportunity for me to become more familiar with the photoshop tools as well as having a little fun and being creative with the concept of my project.
