ScanlanK-Texture



First, I merged and contrasted the original photo, which made it brighter, and then I made duplicates of the yellow flower, so I could make leading lines up the tree trunk. I resized the flowers so it would look like the flowers were leading your eyes to the top of the tree. Next I cropped out the shiny leaves and then pasted them from the original photo so I could add more texture to the tree and the tree's leaves. After I pasted them to the final photo I had to resize them so it looked like part of a border. Since there was darkness to the original leaves on the background I used the burn tool on the shiny leaves so it would look more natural. After I used the burn tool I used the sharpen tool on the farthest upper left hand corner to make the leaves appear more distinguished and visible. I used the blur tool on the leaves so they would blend into the background leaves and so the colors would be similar. I also used the blur tool on the flowers that are closest to you in the bottom left hand corner so it would blend into the blurriness of the tree. Finally, I contrasted everything to be brighter so it would bring emphasis to the final photo. 1.Merge/contrast with original photo 2.made duplicates of yellow flower 3.re-sized flowers 4.cropped shiny leaves 5.pasted shiny leaves 6.resized leaves 7.burn tool on leaves 8.sharpen tool for farthest upper left hand corner 9.blur tool on flowers and leaves 10.contrasted whole picture (brightness)
