September 27, 2008




We focused on channels, layers and selections in Photoshop. I need to spend some time using channels and then
layers and get a better feel for how one may be a better choice than the other to apply on particular project.

Using the selection tool I selected the leaf from my Grass-Leaf photo. I created a new layer and painted the leaf using the brush and eyedropper. I used copy and paste to create several layers of the same leaf and with each leaf applied the Free Transformation tool and Move tool. Next I applied the Liquify filter to the top three leaves and changed the opacity of the top and bottom leaves. The background is black and I added a gold frame using the canvas size option. I like how the lower opacity of the bottom leaves allowed the gold frame to show through.
