For the London Bridge photo, I used the sprayed edge effect. For the SLC Temple photo, I used the brushed-on effect. I thought the brown edge looked beautiful on both photos.

I took five photos in Nature Park and used the photomerge tool to create a panoramic. After merging the photos, I changed the levels and contrast. I then cropped the image.

I created my own template. I downloaded a background from cgtexture.com. I created transparent borders around each picture. Then I placed each picture on the layer of the frame. I then sized the picture and created a clipping mask.

I tried out replace color and photo enhancements on two separate photos. For the replace color, I changed the blues to turquoise. I changed the fuzziness to 130 so the blue couldn't show through. For the photo enhancements, I removed acne using the spot healing brush and I whitened teeth using the dodge tool. She also had red eye, so I used the red eye tool to get rid of it.

For these photos, I cropped them and added a warm filter. Other than that, they're untouched.
