Floating Heads

Original Photos combined into a collage

After

I used to Pen Tool for each head to create a selection and move the heads to the space background. I then used Free Transform to resize and rotate the heads. I placed the heads in the desired positions. I also increased the brightness of each head to make them more visible against the background. The head to the far right is baby me! :)

Butterfly Wonderland

Original pics combined into a collage to save space

Butterfly Wonderland - After

For this photo, I first cropped the butterfly pics and moved them to the Butterfly Wonderland background. I then used Free Transform to resize and rotate the pictures. I added a drop shadow to each picture. I then added the text to describe the photo and its location.

Park Painting

Park - Before 

Park - After

I really enjoy using the Mixer Brush and think that it looks nice on an outside picture. I only used the Mixer Brush on this picture.

The Boys

The Boys - Original

Background - Original

The Boys - After

I used the Pen tool on the first image to create a selection that just included the children and subtract it from the background. I moved this selection onto the background. I used the Free Transform tool to change the size of the children. I then brightened the background slightly.

Riverview Park

Fountain at Riverview Park - Before

Fountain at Riverview Park - After

I used the Mixed Brush on this photo to make it look like a painting. I love this fountain and thought it would look nice as a painting.
