Image Processing

 

 

Tree Of Life Cafe Latte Art

  • heart shaped latte art converted to tree design
  • image processed in many ways: hue/sat adjust original, isolate latte area, create tree shape, mask a feathered/smoothed tree area, embellish cream texture, clip in a new bubbles texture, clone stamping, hue/sat adjustment + lower opacity of various layers, etc.

 

 

 

Restriction Digest DNA Fragment Gel for Langara Biology Department

  • student reference of a DNA gel image to clearly show the results of a particular DNA restriction enzyme digest
  • created for Langara Biology Department [2017]
  • processed in several ways: gel straightened and warped for initial fixes and general shape, gel elongated to enhance DNA band separations, artifacts/bubbles/inconsistencies removed, lanes cleaned + reconstructed + realigned, DNA fragment bands created of varying intensities at specific weights according to the expected experimental outcomes of the DNA digestion lab, verified with the lab instructor
  • imperfections in the result (eg. dust flecks) left in on purpose
  • original low resolution scan, and processed high resolution image below
  • you can see illustrations done for Langara's Biology Department in the Design + Illustration link

 

 

 

 

Wood Troll

  • person was removed from the scene using raster tools including: masking, smearing, smudging, cloning, dodging and burning

Poetry Book - "The Barber"

  • initial photgraph and the processed image
  • image processed in several ways: perspective skewed by breaking photo into many parts to fix the overal shape, many hue/sat adjustments, lots of clone stamping of textures, sample colours and paint textures and details, lighting and shading fixed
