In this project I took a photo of the front of our school and I had to add stuff in front of it using photoshop first I cropped it and resized it. I then took a picture of our compass and resized it as well. Then I made a new layer and put the compass on it I gave it less opacity and gave it a layer effect. I did about the same with the ONW but i made a new layer and typed the text in changing its size, font, and color. This was a pretty easy project and I didn't have any problems with it.
In this project I had to color the butterfly differently and make it look like it was moving its wings. I used the magic wand tool so that i could select the symmetrical sides of the butterfly and color them the same. I then used the clone stamp tool and turned the opacity lower so that I could copy the edge of the wings and clone the sam edge on the edge of the original but with the lower opacity it looks faded. The only problem I had was getting used to the clone stamp tool so I had to redo the clone stamp part several times.
In this project I had to create a mask for a photo of the front of our school. I had to crop the picture a bit before I could put the mask on. Once I cropped it I put a text mask on it saying NORTHWEST and resized the text so it fits the picture nicely. Then I selected the area around the text and used a gradient fill. Then I added a layer effect that made the white trim of the inside of the letters. The only problem I had with this project was that when you put the mask down you can't go back and change the text font, size, color or any of that.
In this project it is supposed to be like a collage so had to get rid of some of the things in the picture and then made different layers with different pictures and made a mask for them. I had to remove the light posts and cars by using the clone stamp and content aware fill. I then took other pictures and made separate layers for each of them. I gave them a mask so that they kind of faded into the original picture instead of just covering it up. The most challenging thing for me in this was removing the light posts but making sure that everything around it still looked correct.
