Urban Landscape Photo

This photo was my favorite of my Urban Landscape Album, edited in Pixlr Express. As a raster-based image, it contains pixels that make up the image online. When taken from my Android, the resolution was 2268x4032, with 9.14 megapixels. After I uploaded them onto Flickr.com, I looked at the megapixels and resolution again, and they were the same, since I had selected it to be the original and in original size. Since there was no change between uploads, there were no interpolations (resizing or distortions of the number of pixels). For this particular photo, the main one that is used is the picture of the full lighthouse with the sidewalk, and I overlapped it with another photo I had taken that is angled upward, having a more dramatic effect on it. I used a filter application to make it seem broken into three pieces, with the middle piece the only one in color. I then used other adjustment tools to darken shadows, lighten highlights, and sharpen the overall quality. When overlapping the image with the other one, I zoomed in on the angled lighthouse and faded it, so it seemed as if it were in the middle of fading between scenes of a movie. Editing this photo made the original seem as if it were seen on any typical day; however, this updated image makes it seem more in "the now", or even if you were there to see it up close and far away. For anyone looking for a good photo editing app- take a look at Pixlr Express! It's free, and definitely worth your while. If you're one to take selfies and upload them on Instagram, this is a HUGE step up from that- trust me, you'll like it.
