Surreal Landscape
The Photoshop surreal landscape I decided on creating was written by Jenny Le and posted here in this tutorial called How to Create a Surreal City Landscape Photo Manipulation With Adobe Photoshop. When I was doing this tutorial, I was able to follow along easily most of the time. Le provided adequate pictures and detailed text that made the tutorial experience seem fluid and continuous. Le clearly defined this lesson as an "Intermediate" level project for Photoshop users. In particular, I would recommend that anyone who wants to practice adjusting curves should definitely use this tutorial. Personally, I deviated away from the tutorial by including the city of Qatar rather than the other American city. As a criticism, I feel that Le should show her layers panel to show audiences how their layers should be organized and to avoid any confusion.
Overall, I found this to be an incredibly interesting tutorial that created a cool image. With a majority of the directions being very clear, I think that the tutorial was successful in conveying the photoshop lesson. However, the absence of a layers panel lead to some confusion. At any rate, this tutorial was a superb piece of instructional material that teaches photoshop users how to adjust curves and saturation. On a rating scale of 1-5 (1=Worst and 5=Exceptional), I would rate this a solid 4 (Very Good).
