Today, I have finished a project called picture to text. The tools used in this project were the text tool, magic wand tool and also the move & crop. At first, It was very challenging for me because I didn't watch the video. I was looking at what she was doing instead of actually listening and I missed a few steps. So, I went over the video and found out that, after I put a picture in a letter, I have to go back to the word and click on a letter again.

For the text on a path project, You didn't have to do much. You had to use about 2 or 3 tools for this project. Those tools were text, pen and move tool. First, I had to get an 8 by 8 black background picture. Second, I then had to type my name and double click twice to change my font and my warp. Third, I went to windows to check my layers out. I added some glow to my name and also some color. The color I added was like a rainbowish color. After I've done all of that, I start to zoom in on a letter and draw a path. I click on the path and added words like "ambitious." The challenge I faced was me doing my path correctly but it also ended up going straight as possible.

For combining images part 2, I used the same tools as one. Although, this project may have been harder than the first one. Saying this because I still have leftover pieces from my original image, Second the background was a little off.  I had to first find images, that was the hardest part of this project. I didn't have anything in mind. So then I just started looking up things and found a man on a mountain and then I searched for a man standing to the side. I then go on photoshop and start to use the quick selection tool, so I can remove the background of the man and then combine my images together. After I remove the background I then start to cover the first man on the mountain up with the exact color. Then I combined my images and cropped my man smaller to fit upon the mountain to make it seem like he was there before. I fitted my man and then boom that's how I got my standing man on a mountain.

Combining images for photoshop is easy. I had to do a lot of things to complete this assignment. To start off with, I gathered everything I needed to combine my images. I picked a beautiful background, that would look good with my face. I then picked a good quality picture, and I had both pictures in different tabs. First I used the quick selection tool to get rid of my background. Second I blurred the edges of my picture. Third I got my background ready, I pulled my tab down and then made my background connect with the image. After I made my background connect, I then unlocked my background. I had to crop my image to make it fit in the background. To make it look realistic, I made my picture small and moved it around a bit.

In the Eiffel tower project, I didn't have to do much but it might seem like I did a lot. I used 3 to 5 tools just to change a car to a car I like. Tools that were used were a stamp tool, move tool, and the quick selection tool. The clone stamp tool is used to copy colors and paste it at the same time. The move tool is used to move the selected items around in any place you want. Last, the quick selection tool is used for clicking the object you want quick to keep or delete. These tools are used in photoshop. The tools listed above I've used those to replace the car with my car. The cloned stamp was hard at first, but I then asked one of my classmates for help. She then showed me I did the whole thing wrong. The quick selection tool made it easier for me, All you have to do is click on the things you want. I used that for my car, but I didn't click my car I clicked my background to delete it. I used the  move tool to move my car around on the picture, to align my car with
