Photoshop

Photoshop:
When I saw photoshop as one of the workshops, I wanted to show my skills, either the old or new ones. 

Before:

Back in 2019, I took this picture (one above) of my friend in Denmark while I was on holiday, I remember her standing in front of an amazing view. Sadly, I didn't take any pictures of this view without anyone in it, so I decided to photoshop my friend out. A little mean sounding but I told my friend what I was doing beforehand.

After:

This cool new trick I recently picked up from watching a Photoshop Youtuber called Photoshop Training Channel. Firstly, I added an extra layer of the same image and renamed them so I wouldn't get confused about which one I was editing. Next, I used the Lasso Tool and I selected around my friend, then I went to the top bar and clicked on Edit. From Edit I moved down to Fill, this is the important part, I made sure that content-aware was selected and colour adaptation was selected too. If I didn't select these two then it would mess up the whole image. From there I clicked okay and everything was done. If it looks a little weird in some areas that can be easily cleared up with the cloning tool or doing the same process again. 

This cool trick takes pixels from around the area you've selected and blends them together. However, the only downside is it only works very well with simple backgrounds.
