Editing Pictures :>

This week, we started to edit some pictures. I used a few helpful steps when I edited. These steps include:

  1. I thought of the picture I wanted in my head
  2. I found a picture that was close to what I was picturing.
  3. I saved that picture to my computer under an easy name
  4. I opened Photoshop on the PC
  5. I opened the picture on Photoshop
  6. I highlighted different areas to edit.
  7. To get into better detail I used the magnetic lasso to go around specific parts.
  8. I saved the image as a ".jpg" when I was done
