Working with photoshop

Our first Photoshop lesson was with Mat and the first thing he taught us was that we always have to keep track of our layers. It’s often a layers problem if you cannot do some specific action or whatever it is you are doing, always ask yourself the question, what layer am I on?
Mat helped us very strategically to open a picture into Photoshop before we started editing and so on. After that he taught us about cutting and pasting different parts of the pictures, which was pretty simple. We later moved on with using four pictures and mixing them together by using different effects I used pictures from an old James Bond movie, I’m legend, Alice in wonderland and the expendables.

Some different effects he taught us was how to use different kinds of Blur filter, how to change from color to black and white in the picture. We also used different tools such as the clone tool (clone things, obviously) the heeling brush tool, different kinds of lasso tools and so on. He also taught us obvious things such as moving, enlarging and making the picture smaller and everything else you can imagine. We worked half an hour with everything and it went well.
Sorry but I didn’t save any of my pictures but I will put them out here next time we will do Photoshop and then it probably will be more advanced and also better results to show.
