Photolusion

1. Hold on for dear life!: I created this by combining the two pictures below. In the light post picture I changed the curves slightly to enhance the clouds. I then selected the light post using the the quick selection tool and then changes the brightness, because the pole got darker when I changed the curves. With the picture of my roommate hugging the exercise ball, I selected the part I wanted to use in the other picture using the lasso and quick selection tool. I then moved that part over to the other picture. I made her smaller and made her hugging the light post. I then thought it looked pretty bland so I added the text and then vignette. For the vignette I created a new layer, filled it with black and then used the rectangular tool and used a 20px feathering and then deleted that portion. I then noticed some of the green from the ball was on the picture so I added a mask and masked out the slightly green parts.

This assignment was pretty fun. The last picture I took on my way home from my geology field trip. I saw it and thought that is looked like the mountain was a volcano because of the way the clouds were positioned.
