High Pass

 I believe I made 5 different passes. This tutorial was real short and easy. I just changed the different lighting of the picture to bring out his features.

I used different gradient overlays and blur techniques to get the back ground and I found the character type to change the font and everything to type.

This is Luke bryan and I did the High - pass effect on this picture. I chose this tutorial because I thought it might compliment his cheek bones. I had trouble making the picture the right size because my background was super small.

I made a lot of new layers in this tutorial that changed the different contrasts of the pictue. I had a difficult time with the colors on this part because I didnt know it i was doing it right.

I forgot to save my original picture and I cannot find it. but anyway, I did download a brush for my background because I thought it looked better than a solid color.  I learned how to cute out the people and make a mask better too.

Inner you

 I used the magic wand tool to trace the outline of my body and the other surfer body to get it to put it on my beach scene. I used a beach instead of a side walk because I though it would be more fitting because you normally don't see a surfer walking down the side walk. I also used the free transform to re size my people to make them equal or close to it. I also used the opacsity to make the shadow a little lighter tan my actual person.
