  My favorite tutorial was the changing perspective one. I liked that one the most because it wasn't too bad, taught a useful skill and had a very cool end product. The most challenging tutorial was the butterfly glow one because I had trouble selecting the butterflies to apply the gaussian blur to them. My favorite project was Project 7: Blending Modes because I was able to incorporate the funny pictures I took while on my trip to frost valley, and it was straightforward to create. My key takeaway for the entire course is that amazing things can be created with the use of photoshop, and knowing how to work the armada of tools is important for creating a polished, finished product.

  First I found a beautiful picture of India to use as the background of my image. I took a picture of myself in the hallway and added it to the image. I used the remove background AI tool to remove the background, leaving just myself, then used the harmonize tool to blend me seamlessly into the image. I used the spot healing tool to remove the graphic design from the t-shirt to give me a plain shirt. I then used the smart filter of lens blur to blur the background slightly. Next, I added an image of an “I ♥️ India” logo, and removed the background using the AI tool. I aligned it to fit onto the shirt, then used the harmonize tool to blend it into my t-shirt. The harmonize tool helped me make the project by blending the images together and making it seem more realistic. My main takeaway is that the photoshop AI tools are very convenient and can make an image quite easy to create.
