Week 4
Lecture - Intro to Photoshop 3:
During lecture class, Mr. Fauzi teach us about the adjustment layers and filters which are the tool that super useful to edit photo as it can enhance the visual effects of the image. 

Adjustment Layers

1. Brightness & Contrast

The brightness slider is for adjusting the highlights in your image and the Contrast slider is for adjusting the shadows in your image.

2. Levels

Levels modify the tonal values in an image by adjusting the levels of the shadows, midtones, and highlights. 

3. Curves

Curves let you adjust as many points as you want throughout the entire tonal range of your image, and is the most powerful and precise tool for editing the tones in an image. 

4. Exposure

Exposure lets you adjust exposure levels with three sliders: Exposure, Offset and Gamma. 

5. Selective colour

The Selective Color adjustment layer selectively modifies the amount of a primary color without modifying the other primary colors in your image.

Filters
There are filters to change colour, add blur or create completely new image effects. Photoshop offers a virtually unlimited variety of filters for this purpose.

Practical - Digital Collage
I had showed my digital Imaging to Mr. Fauzi and he asked me about which is the most that I like. I like the third composition as it looks more powerful and bring mystery feelings to me. Mr. Fauzi agreed with me.

Even it is just slightly changed, but I learned how to use the adjustment layer and filters tools in Adobe Photoshop. It helps the colour of the image become more bright and attractive.
