Photoshop Exercise Part I

Here is one example of my photoshop practice work:

This Champion Sandplum Ridge Pot of Gold named Pogo from Azle Texas has his eye on the prize at the 132nd Westminster Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. (WILLIAM PERLMAN/THE STAR-LEDGER)

I cropped this image to fit the 280px X 100px dimension configuration, brightened the image with the curves application and also sharpened it. I tried to emphasize the dogs stare to give him a competitive aura.

This Champion Sandplum Ridge Pot of Gold named Pogo from Azle Texas shows off as he has his photo taken after the show at the 132nd Westminster Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. (WILLIAM PERLMAN/THE STAR-LEDGER)

I cropped this image 332px X 220px to capture his whole "costume." I also brightened the image with curves and sharpened it.

The complete assignment is on my personal blog space.
