For my portrait photo I chose to use the picture of a 4 Paws training dog. The photo on the left is the edited photo and the one on the right is the original. As you can see, I removed the leash and collar off the dog as well as my friends knee and her shadow. I was able to remove these features using the copy tool. I also brightened the background of the photo as well as the color of the dogs fur.
For my last free photos, I greatly enjoyed creating these photos. After hearing the words “please ridicule your friends”, I took that as a mission. For each photo I utilized the magnetic lasso tool to highlight the portion of the photo I wanted to crop out. Once highlighted, I used the magic eraser tool to erase the background of the image. I then placed the cropped out image where I wanted it to be, thus creating these lovely photos.
