Brendan, 7th Grade, Manipulated Image by Eisenhower Student

When I took this picture of some of my friends were talking in the hallway, I had to take the picture quickly before they moved. After taking the picture, I imported it and colored each person's clothes and body on different layers. Then for the background, I clicked one spot to color and then let go. Next, I held the shift key down and clicked another spot to make a straight line. This allowed me to successfully re-draw the background. Lastly, I added filters and layer styles. I copied the background's layer and made the copy partially transparent. By making the copy a partially transparent, I was able to see and mix the original background with the layer style.
