Montage Project

For my montage, I used the tools and skills I learned from the website roseindia/ Photoshop/tutorials. Using those skills I was able to manipulate and make an effect on the picture to make it realistic, emotional, and create a story. Using the tools elliptical marquee, polygonal and magnetic lasso tool, brush and history brush, pattern stamp, and most importantly layer mask. With these tools I was able to make realistic and the same time make it feel as if it’s telling a story. This montage wouldn’t have felt 3D if it weren’t for the tool I think was the most important, layer mask. Layer mask helped me make it realistic as if the pictures connect with each other and not flat.
Using the layer mask I was able to put a picture on top of another picture and erase the edges, parts of the picture, or unimportant parts. Doing the same step with the boy and the girl I was able to manipulate those two pictures making as if their originally in the picture. The tools and skills I learned from roseindia helped me a lot by connecting two pictures together and adding additional creations or pictures to a certain photo.
