Photography lesson - 28/09/2015

The image I thought I would create is of my Oasis bottle, I started this image by getting some plain blank card and taping it on to a board letting the the end dangle down so the paper is on a obtuse type of angle and curved at the corner.

After taking the image I proceeded to take that image to Photoshop to edit it further, when in Photoshop I created a duplicate of the layer I was about to edit, this was so if i mess up I can get my work back easily, after doing this I when into the leveler tool and tried to play around with that a bit to test the effects it has on the image, I noticed that it changed the level of contrast as a whole and this is not what I wanted, I then proceeded to delete my newly edited layer and I duplicated the old one again just in case, I then tried to use the curve tool, this is similar to the leveler tool but you can select different shades of the image for example mid-tones, dark areas and really light over exposed areas. I used this tool to create a nice clear white looking background with no other colours mixed in, I then proceeded to use this tool to darken edges and lighten certain pieces of the image that shine to give them more effect.
