Computing - 6th March 2023

Year 4 worked on retouching images in computing. Their task was to edit this photograph of a banana to make it look more appetising. By using the blemish remover, the children were able to take away bruises and scars on the skin of the banana.

They also tried out using the object remover to get rid of larger marks. To complete their work, they adjusted the colour saturation to make the banana appear a more vibrant yellow. Following this session, the class had a good discussion on the positive and negative affects that retouching images can have on the world around us.
