8P9 - Save The Photo

For this project I will be working by myself. I will need photo editing software as well as a photo printer. I plan to fix a one of a kind baby photo for my health teacher who's puppy ripped it up. My project will have the unique quality of not being built from scratched but instead repaired.

Using the website https://pixlr.com/x/ I repaired a baby photo. I fixed the baby photo in order to allow my health teacher to still have this photo seeing as it was the only copy. I also felt that it was good practice with photo editing software in order to get used to different types of program options.

During this process, I learned how to mend fairly extensive damage to a colored as well as detailed object. I was able to do so by using photo editing software of different variations and specialties. I also learned how to repair discoloration.

The seven standards of the class are empowered learner, digital citizen, knowledge constructor, innovative designer, computational thinker, creative communicator, and global collaborator. My project ties to computational thinker because I had to not only mend original issues, but also repair the mistakes made by repairing them. Some of the problems that had occurred were things such as misshaped features, discoloration, and texture.

A challenge I overcame on this project was color matching. I was able to get much more accurate shades and tones of colors by using certain tools and combinations to try and perfect it. I also used the blending tool to try and make the subtle color transition smoother.

given a chance to do this again, I would the smooth texturing to become more grainy. I would like to do this because it looks as if it was taken with a newer camera rather than capturing the exact time period that the photo was taken based on the precision of it. The authenticity was minorly jepordized by attempting to repair a fairly old photo with very new software.
