Photoshop Practice

To practice Photoshop for the first time, I had to get pictures off the internet of a sand dune, the Eiffel Tower, an Astronaut and a bear.

Firstly, I had to save the images into my documents so they could be accessed. Once on Photoshop I re-opened the images onto the document, starting with the sand dune.

I re-scaled the sand dune to fit the canvas, and then opened the image of the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower image, had a background on it, which needed to be cut out. To do this I zoomed in on the image, and used the polygonal lasso tool to cut around the tower. Once I had gone around the image, I was able to delete the background.

The next image I opened up onto the document was the astronaut. I used the same technique for the astronaut as I did for the Eiffel Tower.

However, when I opened up the image of the bear I used a different technique to what I had previously used. This technique still involved the feather tool. To cut out the background from the bear image I went around the bear with the feather tool, as the bear has fur. This tool made the image look more realistic. 

Once I had all my images, I was able to place them in the order which I wanted them to go in. By doing this I had to change the order of the layers.

Finally, I changed the contrast/brightness and saturation to make the images look more lively.
