Assignment 1: Building a Better Contact Sheet
In the lectures for this week you were shown how to make a contact sheet for digital photographers, and
how you can take one image and create nine different variants based on the brightness of that image. In this
assignment you are going to change the colors of the image, creating variations based on a single photo.
There are many complex ways to change a photograph using variations, such as changing a black and
white image to either "cool" variants, which have light purple and blues in them, or "warm" variants, which
have touches of yellow and may look sepia toned. In this assignment, you'll be just changing the image one
color channel at a time
Your assignment is to learn how to take the stub code provided in the lecture (cleaned up below), and
generate the following output image:
From the image you can see there are two parameters which are being varied for each sub-image. First, the
rows are changed by color channel, where the top is the red channel, the middle is the green channel, and
the bottom is the blue channel. Wait, why don't the colors look more red, green, and blue, in that order?
Because the change you to be making is the ratio, or intensity, or that channel, in relationship to the other
channels. We're going to use three different intensities, 0.1 (reduce the channel a lot), 0.5 (reduce the
channel in half), and 0.9 (reduce the channel only a little bit).
For instance, a pixel represented as (200, 100, 50) is a sort of burnt orange color. So the top row of changes
would create three alternative pixels, varying the first channel (red). one at (20, 100, 50), one at (100, 100,
50), and one at (180, 100, 50). The next row would vary the second channel (blue), and would create pixels
of color values (200, 10, 50), (200, 50, 50) and (200, 90, 50).
Note: A font is included for your usage if you would like! It's located in the file readonly/fanwood-
webfont.ttf
Need some hints? Use them sparingly, see how much you can get done on your own first! The sample code
given in the class has been cleaned up below, you might want to start from that.

HINT 1
Check out the PIL.ImageDraw module for helpful functions
HINT 2
Did you find the text() function of PIL.ImageDraw ?
HINT 3
Have you seen the PIL.ImageFont module? Try loading the font with a size of 75 or so.
HINT 4
These hints aren't really enough, we should probably generate some more.
