Using photoshop and lightroom for my ancillary work




VS




For my ancillary work I decided to use both Lightroom and Photoshop to edit and create the final product. Since I was using Apple Macs to edit, and I am already familiar with both softwares - I thought i would use this to my advantage.

LIGHTROOM
I mainly used Lightroom for the photography side of the ancillary work. In my opinion, it was easier and quicker for me to navigate and get my ideas across with lightroom because I already have alot of experience with it for photography. One of the main tools I used with this software was editing and controlling the saturation and luminance of certain colours in the photo. This gave my photos that colour splash/pop affect as I turned down the most prominent colours and left reds and oranges which were the pigments in the artists face.

Photoshop

I  used photoshop mainly in the making of the ancillary product to add the images to a digipack template and add text as well as any other effects. These are the things I could not do in lightroom and therefore photoshop helped me to complete this. Photoshop has given me the option to edit my ancillary product to a more advanced level. Working in layers made it easier to create the desired look for my digipack and allowed me to delete/add certain things without disrupting my product.
