Graphics+Activity+1

This was my first time using any photo editing program. Needless to say, I played a lot with this picture. The first thing I did using PhotoShop was crop the picture. I was comfortable with doing this. I then played around with all the different tools under the filter button. I did not realize you could do all these different things with pictures!! I ended up only using one tool on this picture. I pinched the picture so it looks zoomed in. (When I pinched it out, I looked like I was about to explode) Some of the other filters I enjoyed using but did not use on this photo were stamp, glowing edges, chalk and charcoal, and liquify. I noticed when trying to use to many of these tools together, the picture does not turn out very well! I am definietely going to be using photoshop on future work!! Before I new that PhotoShop was already downloaded on my desktop computer, I downloaded GIMP on my laptop. I tried using this software for about 5 minutes and gave up because I did not know what I was doing. Now that I have used PhotoShop, I might try and go back to see if I can figure things out!
