Photoshop Presentation
My presentation demonstrated how to seamlessly blend two images together. The two images I decided to combine were as follows; We can take these two photos and make it seem as though the swimmer is coming out of a road made from water in 23 simple steps!

Photoshop in Motion
In Photoshop, we learned how to create and edit a video. Within the video, we included moving text, images, video clips, audio tracks, and special effects.

We learned how to shorten the lengths of videos and audio tracks, and how to add transitions between media files.

Further on the in chapter we learned how to add a color adjustment to a photograph, changing the brightness and contrast of a flower. Afterwards, we sampled a color from an existing banner in the photograph and used that to create another banner for a birthday card. To create the shape of the banner we used the rectangular marque tool and removed a triangle from the edge of the rectangle to create a banner-esque look. For my independent assignment, I chose a photograph from the…
