Photoshop Class Day 2

Photoshop class #2 at HBLL. Class #1 was about touching up single photographs. Class #2 was about combining multiple photographs. I learned about:

• Layer masks
• Auto aligning similar image layers
• Selection tools
• Applying curve/contrast/hue layers to a single image layer

In the example below, I replaced the astronaut's face with Garrett's face using selection tools and layer masks. To change the color balance and lighting on Garrett's face to match the image, I used a color balance layer and a curves layer that I applied exclusively to the layer with Garrett's face.
