Editing Images In Adobe Photoshop

 

 Editing images in Adobe Photoshop is fun!

The software provides many image editing features for pixel-based images, raster graphics and vector graphics. Photoshop is a great tool to do photo manipulation to the image that will make it look far different.

I really enjoy editing images in Photoshop. It took a lot of practice since there are several tools to learn, but learning the different pen functions made the editing process smoother. This is how I started:

 

 

Learn layer basics

Change layer order, create a new layer, change layer opacity, and delete a layer.

Work with layers in the Layers panel 

1. Drag a layer up or down in the Layers panel to change the order of layered objects in the image.  

2. Click the Create a New Layer icon at the bottom of the layers panel to make a new layer. 

3.  To name a layer, double-click the current layer name. Type a new name for the layer. Press Enter            (Windows) or Return (macOS).

4.  To change a layer’s opacity, select a layer in the Layers panel and drag the Opacity slider located near the top of the Layers panel to make the layer more or less transparent.

5.  To delete a layer, select a layer in the Layers panel and press Backspace (Windows) or Delete (macOS).

 Resize a layer

Change the size of the content of selected layers.

 1.  In the Layers panel, select one or more layers that contain images or objects you want to resize.

 2.  Choose Edit > Free Transform. A transform border appears around all the content on the selected layers. Hold the Shift key to avoid distorting the content, and drag the corners or edges until it is the desired size. Drag inside the transform border to move the content around the image. Drag outside the transform border to rotate the content.

3. Click the check mark in the options bar or press Enter (Windows) or Return (macOS) to finalize the change.

 

I just followed instructions step by step and the final result is very impressive:
