Make Up Edits and Photolusion

Grunge Text and Edit: I did a few things on this edit. I took a picture of hundreds of small lava rocks and created the text for lava hot springs using the picture. I think it looked pretty cool. I then used a picture of Bannack and placed a second image which was a crumpled piece of paper for a grunge blending effect. It definitely looks different. I used different opacities to get the grunge effect.

This cutout would be easy for a lot of people but it took a while playing around to figure it out. I think it turned out OK for my first time ever. I really liked how many adjustments are available like feathering, radius, etc to help make it look better.

This was a lot of fun to try to do. I took pictures of my sisters roommate pretending to hug the temple. It took a ton of shots to get it just right so it actually looked like she had her arms were around it. It was important to be at the right distance and take the picture at the right angle so everything would line up. I ended up tweaking the contrast and brightest to make it look a little better.

FINE ART

This was fun to do but for some reason I could not change from grayscale to color. I don't know why but it still looks like a decent picture even black and white. I really like how it splits the picture a part because it makes it look like a whole different picture. I started with the black rectangle and copied 4 more of them. I then made sure it was a shape mask and clicked the lock link and dragged the picture into the shapes to create the template.
