1. Processing images

2. Images sourced from books:

3. Advantages of sourcing images this way: Getting images from books
allows you to have access to images that others will not be able to acquire
and will make your work stand out and be unique. The images will usually
also be a higher quality as they will be printed on a page.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way: The disadvantage of getting
images this way is that they will always be copyrighted as they are
present in a licenced book. This will limit what you can do with the image.
The images may also take time to be acquired as you will have to scan in
books that are physical copies to be able to use the image which may
make the images unsuitable for a quick use.

4. Images sourced from google images:

5. Advantages of sourcing images this way: The images are quick and easy
to access and you will have a large amount of images to choose from,
from a wide variety of subjects. Some of the images taken may also be of
a professional quality and therefore you can find some really good
photos.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way: The disadvantages are that
the quality of the images may not be as good because most of the images
are set to small resolutions so that they can be loaded quickly on the
internet and you are left with a much more restricted choice if you want a
higher quality image. Many of the images you find may also be
copyrighted and you may be restricted as to what you can use them for.

6. Images sourced from stock image library:

7. Images sourced from copyright free site:

8. Advantages of sourcing images this way: The advantage of sourcing
images this way is that some sites may gives the images away for free
which may men that you will have no problems with copyright. Another
advantage is that all of the photos are professional and are therefore good
quality and can be resized without loosing quality.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way: You may have to pay for each
use of the image or pay to acquire the rights to it outright. This may mean
you may not be able to use them if you are on a budget. You will also have
to choose from a limited selection of images that may be aimed at a broad
subject and therefore they may not be directly applicable for what you
want them for.

9. Images sourced from your own existing images:

10. Advantages of sourcing images this way: You are able to choose the exact
image that you want as you are able to set it up yourself so you can
choose what you want. You will also not have to worry about copyright as
you have taken the image yourself of are therefore the owner of it.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way: Unless you are a
professional photographer the images you take may not be as good as if
they were taken by somebody who was and this may lead to them looking
poor quality. You may also not have access to specialised equipment or
facilities to use for the photos and may have limited resources to create
the photos that you want.

11. Processing
Images

12. Original image:

13. Cropped image:

14. Scaled images:
A4
A5
A6

15. Resolution image:
300dpi for print
72dpi for web

16. Advantages of different resolutions: The advantages of having different
resolutions is that if you want to increase the size of the image to make it
larger or smaller you would not loose any quality from the image if you
give it a higher resolution. Another advantage is that you can have
different resolutions for either print use or to place on the internet.
Disadvantages of different resolutions: if you take an image that was
already in a low resolution and try to manipulate it by changing the
resolution to a higher one then you will not be able to see much of a
visible difference. Another disadvantage is that the lower resolutions like
72 dpi mean that the images will be in very low quality as they will still
have to fit in the same size area as a 300 dpi image on a page.

17. Manipulated image with appropriate caption:
The Patriots increase their unbeaten run to 7 games in the NFL

18. Explain the changes you made to the image and explain why you made
those changes:
I have cropped the image to remove the blank spaces around the edge of
the image to ensure that the subjects of the image are in greater focus
and are more bold in the image. I have also adjusted the brightness so
that the image looks darker and more dramatic to fit with the content of
the image. I have then used a photo filter on the image that overlays the
colour red over the image. This gives the image a slightly warmer look
and makes it seem a bit more dramatic due to the connotations that
surround that particular colour. I have also altered the contrast of the
image to make the colours stand out more in the image. This is so that
they are still visible despite the overlay of the filter.
