------------------------
for the postcard i set 8 in x 6 in
i used this picture as my background
i wanted to put a picture in between the photographer and the window
so to do that i copy the background picture to make same background

in the second copy background layer, i used magic wand tool to select the outside window and delete it


in between background layer and background layer copy i put picture that already select.
the tool that i used is also with magic wand tool

to make it smooth, i used Gaussian blur to blur certain part needed
i also make arrangement to the picture

tools: free transform (ctrl+T)

i drag picture of batik into the workplace


i reduce its fill (45%) and opacity (65%)

and this the result

the same techniques goes to this jetty picture

to change color for the kite, after select the area with magic wand tool i select hue/saturation


after that, i arrange all the picture that i like to put in
im used free transform to alter the images

*I also used the tutorial 3 method to make picture Indian dance below)


1st - select inverse the dancer > make new layer > fill the selected area with brush tool
make sure the blending mode for the layer in color mode


i put text - add stroke

this is the last part when doing this assignment,
with using Tutorial 3 method of merging an image with the words. Here, the image used is the Malaysian flag.
Then the combine method between layers is applied

here i just show several step to make it
first i create text in channel pallet


back to layer pallet drag the Malaysia flag> make selection > alt+backspace > make new layer> joining the new layer with the flag layer> and it will become like this

Tutorial 1

Step1: Drag the ruler to make a vertical and horizontal to draw a marquee. Using the elliptical marquee tool, draw it on the centre of the screen where the line was created earlier. Then

Drag the starfish picture into the file that you are working on. Then, click ctrl T to adjust the picture into desired size and position. In order to make the same copy of the starfish, just click Alt and click and drag the picture.


Again, use the Gaussian Blur to show the focus on each starfish. It can be seen that smallest and at the most back has the highest blur effect. This is to show the effect of as if the starfish is dropping from the sky.

As for the most front starfish, you want to show the effect of dropping in very high speed. Therefore, need to make a duplicate of the original layer. On the duplicate layer, you have to add radial blur effect. Then drag the layer below the original layer.


Then select the original layer and click on Add Layer Mask so that we can show which part we want to show in focus. Make sure white is your foreground colour and black is your background colour and hit delete or backspace feel entire mask with black. Then, choose a paint brush tool and simply click in the centre of the starfish picture and you can see that there is a perfect focus at the centre of the starfish.


In order to make a TV image look real attach to the side of building, first, go to marquee tool and select the rectangular marquee tool and select all the blue area in the TV picture.


Then, make sure background colour is white and click control and delete which will appear as below.


Filter – sketch – Halftone pattern.


Choose line pattern type and you can adjust how big you want the line to be. Then press OK.


To make the picture to appear, select overlay. Which will show as the next picture.


After click the overlay.


Click on the most right arrow in the layer box and click on flatten image to make the background layer and layer one combine.


Simply drag the Tv image into the file, then drag the tv layer right on top of the background. Next, resize the image to fit on the building.


click control key and you can see that allow you to pull and bend the picture around to fit the exact sized you want it to be.


Then click besides the layer twice where you will see there is layer style window appear. Click on drop shadow and simply click on the picture and drag slightly to show a shadow effect.


Since the building has shadow, we have to make sure that the shadow drop on the TV image as well to make it real. Make the TV image layer invisible and create new layer and click on lasso tool. Press the Alt key and click and let go keeping the Alt key hold down at the part where you wanted to show shadow. Once you finish, the simply press Ctrl backspace and the background colour appear.

Finally, turn on the visibility of layer 1 (the TV image), Then hold down the Ctrl key and click on layer 1 and make sure layer two (with the shadow effect) is selected. Then use the opacity and reduce it so that it look like a shadow of the building drop on the TV image.
