Photorealism

Photorealism is a detailed visual representation, like that obtained in a photograph, in a non-photographic medium such as animation or computer graphics.

We're going to use a page from a coloring book and "color" parts of the page using photographs to show photorealism. You'll get a lot of practice using your selection tools and layers.

There is a PS_Selection_Coloring_Book folder in the Campus Share Drive that contains all of the photos you will need for this assignment. You'll watch and follow along through 3 videos to complete the assignment. You should save it as a Photoshop file first so that you can edit it later, then as a JPG when you finish: #_lastname_Selections_Coloring_Book
