Eraser, Paint Brush, Warped, Hue, Levels, Perspective, Touch up, highlights, shadows ==To begin with, my results of my final was not as successful as I would have hoped. In the future I will make sure to take my time in blending the pictures which I had cropped as well as making sure all of the cropped images looked realistic on my main background image. I also believed that because I was new to Photoshop, I was limited on compositional techniques.== ==During our texture assignment I used a single background image provided above as image 1 and used the band-aid tool to eliminate some twigs and branches on the floor in the background image. I also used levels to brighten the picture and make it easier to view the full image. I used the select tool and highlighted over the subject needed and copied pasted it onto my background image. An example would be the apples and pine cones in image 2. I copied those and pasted them onto my original picture. To make it seem more realistic I made sure to change the hue saturation to a more similar tone to the background. I also used the highlighted tool and enhanced the apples to create a light shine and I used the shadow tool to create shadows below the apple doing along with shadows of other objects in the original image. As noted above, the apples and the pine cones have a much greater size than in my final image. Because of the original size I had to make sure to minimize the images to fit the original picture; as well as the positioning the apple and pine cones in the right placement and the right size. After arranging the apples and the pine cones I made sure of covering each with what looks as snow to make the apples and pine cones blend in better with the background. When making this step I used the pipette tool to pin point the exact color of the snow surrounding the apple. Secondarily, I used the paint brush and lightly covered the apples and pine cones with what seems as snow.== ==In addition, with image 3 I made similar procedures as with image 2. After copying and pasting the bench onto image 1 I made sure to make the image smaller to fit the picture better. As seem in image 3, part of the leg of the bench is missing. I as well used the pipette tool and the pencil brush to draw the missing portion of the bench. Because of the placement within image 1 I used the warped tool and attempted to change the perspective of the bench.== ==Out of all different images I inserted into my main background, image 4 was modified the most. Likewise, my first step was to copy and paste my subject onto the background. After minimizing the size of the footprint I made sure to change the level of brightness of the snow to blend better with my already modified picture. When the blending was complete, I used the perspective tool to change the view pint of each footprint. By changing the perspective, each shoe print formed a train which allowed the use of lining in my final picture.==
