photoshop hero! warning, naughty language

in honor of the photoshopping i am doing, madly, for kelly's color class, i'm going to share with you a penny-arcade comic. i am mad photoshopping because my computer calibration is utterly unrelated to the camera calibration, which is utterly unrelated to the printer colors, which are utterly unrelated to the colors of the objects, clothing, and roommates i was photographing, which are, of course, totally fictional because i was photographing with a magic incandescent light white-balance setting on the camera, nevermind the fact that color is entirely relative in the first place and wholly dependent on the lighting. so i'm basically taking the platonic ideal of the colors that i know those objects to be in my heart and trying to make that occur in photoshop.

so first, here are some of the images i'm working on... i won't bog down your load-time with all of them.

analogous colors: green, bluegreen, and blue

complementary colors: blue and orange

a triad of orange, purple and green

"warm" colors including red and orange and yellow and warmer versions of purple and light blue

and finally, here's penny-arcade, to make us visual artists feel better about the things that we can't do. one of these days, somebody will make a game that will cater to -our- skills. and we will rock it.
