E-Wallpaper Progress

These are the steps of my e-wallpaper Day of The Dead festival.

Here are the pictures that i used for my e-wallpaper

A picture of a boat ofrenda(offering)

A picture of a sky

Here are the steps:

Step 1: I opened the picture in photoshop to crop it

Step 2: I used the Quick Selection Tool to erase the background. I find it easier using this tool to erase the background.

Step 3: I also used the Magic Wand Tool to erase the background at certain spots.

Step 4: As you can see, the background has been erased. I used the Eraser Tool to erase any excess of the background.

Step 5: I created another layer and inserted the sky picture.

Step 6: I changed the brightness and the contrast of the picture of the boat ofrenda to fit with the sky.

Step 7: I added 2 text using the Type Tool and added Layer style(drop shadow and outer glow) i accidentally ticked the Bevel and Emboss button when i print screen it, i dont use it though. For the font, i used the Chiller font.

Step 8: For the text "dia de los muertos", i changed the colour overlay to red. I didn't like the colour of the flowers on the boat ofrenda because it seems too bright and doesn't fit with the sky. So i selected the flowers using the Quick Selection Tool.

Step 9: After selecting the flowers, i go to image>adjustment>exposure. I change the Exposure to -1.55 and the Gamma Correction to 0.95 to make the flowers fit in with the sky.

Step 10: Finished!!!

HERE'S THE FINISHED E-WALLPAPER!!
