This week, I completed a lab where we combined three images into one to make a custom Thanksgiving card. Here's my take on it:
I made a parody of a classic American painting, Freedom from Want, by Norman Rockwell. I remember seeing this painting as a kid in restaurants around this time of year, and it always stuck to me as the quintessential image of Thanksgiving. Apparently, I'm not the only one as there have been plenty of parodies done over the years.
I was having some difficulty with the chroma key functions from the lab this week, but after watching some of the demo videos other students made I think I understand how to implement one much better. I wonder if there's a way in JES to work with alpha channels directly, like in any non-destructive image editing program (GIMP, Photoshop). That would be a huge quality of life improvement, in my opinion.
It looks like we're moving onto working with audio files next week, but I enjoyed learning the technicalities of how pixels work and subsequently, how to manipulate them. I think knowing the RGB model and how pixels are affected by software is important not only for computer scientists and programmers, but for people in other fields as well such as photographers.
