photo of neighbor gina

so this pic is the one i took of my class neighbor gina, with her digital camera, and my first photoshop attempt. i chose the grayscale version vs. the rgb. i multiplied a yellow color over her shirt, in order to appear as a shade and not a whole color block, as well as, a pink shade over her lips. the photo was cropped originally centered she's off to the right and added an oh so cool highway background. the instructor helped me cut and paste the background and then enlarge behind her as a seperate layer, holding down the shift key allowed me to fit the photo into the space. i used a lot of the magnetic lasso tool. i believe this is a total of 4 layers. her face, the shirt, the lips, then the background. i used the eraser and paint tool to enhance her lips, which is kind of sloppy. it was a frustrating experience, but i'd like t think i learned a little of the program. the options are endless and look forward to at least becoming a little more knowledgeable with the program. so much manipulation so little time.

My hero ellie

My super hero is based on my dog and how important she is to me. She is my hero, I rescued her from a shelter about four years ago and have been through many trials and tribulations.

Ellie with her perfectly placed black and white spots has remained my true friend. She gets along with everyone and makes most people happy. Though, she does not fly, it is truly her tail that makes most people smile. I have discovered it is the simple things in life that matter and her happines and inconditional love keep me going day to day.

Heroism comes in many forms and mine ismy four-legged friend. I have a cat too, that i love, but she would be considered Ellie's arch enemy. I have to say though I am on both of their sides and have equal affection and admiration for what they have to offer evil or good.
