Exploring Layers and Layer Styles


My goal for this project was to create a composite image of 3-4 pictures I took myself. This weekend was very uneventful for me, so I ended up grabbing some neighborhood pictures and some pictures of my dog to experiment on. First I cut them all out and then arranged them. Then I used the menu icons beneath the layer palette to open such options as; adjustment layers, blending modes, and layer styles. First I used multiple adjustment layers to fix the brightness and color of my dog pictures so they resembled outside lighting. Then I used the layer styles to create shadowing for my animals. Then I used a few blending modes to change the color of the cars and also for the transparent flower border. I used one “blend if” mode for a dog I placed in the bushes and I blend out his black fur and some orange fur to make him appear as though he is peering through the leaves.
