Panaromic Photomerge Edit

 

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.

Photo A Day Template


 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.

Replace Color and Photo Enhancements



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.

Adjustment layer and smart filter


 

I tried out the adjustment layer first. I used a picture from Mesa Falls and added a new adjustment layer. I then used the screen blending mode to lighten the background. I changed the opacity to 50% then copied the adjustment layer. I then used the black paintbrush to hide the blending mode in the foreground on the foilage.
1. Mesa Falls: f/5.3, shutter speed not listed, Ashton, 10/20/08, 2:00 p.m.

Next, I created a smart filter. I changed the picture to a smart object and then used the dry brush filter. I didn't edit after the filter.
