Good morning, hope things are going well for you so far today. Yesterday you made a cutout of yourself on a transparent background. Today is going to be a much easier day. We are going to adjust the color temperature of the cutout so that it matches, or at least closely resembles the color temperature of the original image you found on Google. You're probably reading my words and thinking all this social distancing has caused me to loose my mind! Color Temperature?! Well, it's a thing actually! If you ever go to Lowe's and look at light bulbs you'll see a display showing how each light shines differently. Old school, incandescent light bubs have a warm, red leaning color temperature. Fluorescent lights like we have in school are more blue to even a slight green cast. What color do you think mid day sun shines? You're probably thinking yellow, orange or red. If so, you'd be wrong, it shines blue! Take a look at this chart.
You can see that the sun isn't always blue. In fact, movies are often shot in late afternoon and early morning to get that 3200-4200 kelvin sunlight. They take a really long lunch break to avoid the overly blue color of full sun because it just doesn't look great with all of that blue. Getting back to the light bulb front, this video describes how the color of light bulbs impacts us.
Soooo, we want to make the color of light in each photo, the one you found on the web and the one that you had shot of you match. We'll have to use Pixlr for this. Open up each photo in Pixlr and then watch this video. It will explain how you can adjust the color temperature to make it match. Once you've matched the colors to the best of your ability, save the photo and your done for the day. As always, hit me up on email if you have any questions!

Good afternoon everyone. Hope all is well and that you're having a good day. Yesterday I showed you how to vector the Penn State logo. It's tough learning how to pull those lines to get them to bend the way you want them to. Please hang in there with it! It may come easy to you or it may take some practice. Just take your time, don't get overwhelmed and do the best that you can. Today I am not giving you any new work. I am giving you more time to complete that practice vector, the Penn State logo. Once it's done and colored, you can turn it in on Schoology. Tomorrow we will move on into new territory with Gravit. Hope you have a great day, and as always, don't hesitate to reach out if you need some help!
