Photoshop 101

You guys are most likely thinking that all the cool photoshop stuff I have on my page took me hours to make.

WRONG. It's actually pretty easy...i'll walk ya through it :) 

First I took this picture:

Then, I cropped it with the cropping tool to make it look straight and how I like it. 

Next, I took this picture (one of my senior photos)

I traced the desired picture with the pen tool, selected, and then dragged it over to the city background. Then I made the colors look brighter and also made my face image transparent. I also threw in some cool words of inspiration...to get the final product...

The final image took me all of three minutes to create :)
