Blending is starting to become one of my favorite things thanks to this part of the project. Blending is not just useful for using a variety of adjustment layers to turn your picture into more a refined image, it also deals with making them to make your image not too dark and not too light. …

Day 13: Edit Non-Destructively with Smart Objects
There some interesting things I’ve learned in this project. Smart Guides are used for making your image non-destructive. I duplicated my background image and converted the copy image into a Smart Object (right-click on Layer and click on “Convert to Smart Object”) and named it “smart”. There an icon on the bottom-right of the Layer’s …

Thankful Turkey Illustrator Project
This project is familiar because I’ve done it in my second year of high school, but some images I used in today’s one are little different from the one I did in the previous one. I used Adobe Illustrator for the turkey on the bottom right. I was happy to be back on it for …
Day 12: Liquify Tool
I never knew how to use the Liquify Tool at first, but thanks to this project I finally know how it works. The Liquify Tool is for moving different parts of the image into a way users can do to see how their image want to see fit. For instance, if some areas if the …
Day 11: Adding Text to a Photo
This project was kind of like the Transform, Scale, Rotate, and Align Project. One thing stood was put the text behind then picture. I use the Magic Wand tool to select the part of the spacing, not the subject that I want (make sure to hold shift), turn the text’s invisibility on, and add a …
Ryan Zombie/Skeleton Project
I should have posted this earlier, but here it is. This is before my skeleton project of which I created in my own of the picture myself. I did the same process, but compared to my own image, I didn’t have much difficulties when creating this one because I was guided, and I was able …
Day 10: Crop & Resize
This was one of the easiest things to learn in Photoshop. Cropping and resizing the image is a fundamental thing, but it makes a lot of difference. I click on the image using the Crop tool, and if I look at the top of the screen, there’s a box titled “Ratio”, which I click to …
Day 9: Brush Tool
This is my favorite project of the 30 days of Photoshop. I can’t really think of any other explanation, but I’m just amazed about how I turned my picture into a very refined one. Just like what the instructor said, the Brush tool is my favorite tool. But lets get down to business – when …
Halloween: Skeleton Project
This is my Zombie/Skeleton project. I’m not a fan of zombies at all, but so far I enjoyed the project. Most parts of it were easy but some of the difficulties that I came across was putting the meat at my left cheek. It took me some time to adjust the image and place it …
Day 8: Scale, Rotate & Align
There are a lot interesting things that I’ve learned from this Project. Auto-Select (top-left corner) allows me to deselect an object and pick another one when its checked. However, if the Auto-Select unchecked, it restricts me from clicking any object; I must rely on the layers panel to select one that is meant for the …
