Variations

I Took a simple shot that had some varying light and shadows. I had my Photo 2 students who are new to Photoshop open and adjust the RAW file to their liking, export it into the normal Photoshop window, perform a 13 step set of adjustments, and ultimately save it as a JPEG. It's fun to see how they chose to adjust the same shot. Granted some of the colors were a little wild and the detail was lost, they still learned some basics and had fun. Everyone goes a bit crazy with all the options and filters at first.
