Photo Retouching

For the photo retouching part,
I decided to add some other images into it to make be more creative as the ewallpaper before it looks quite dull...
I do some selection on the leaves to put it on the upper part of my ewallpaper...

For i do the selection on the leaves and paste it to the ewallpaper,and i had realised i did not select it properly, so when i paste it to my ewallpaper,
there will have a bit white color small residue image on it, so i decided to use the clone stamp on it.

After that i decided to put some 3D image on the ewallpaper that i had saw through in the ebook for photoshop. So i go to 3D, choose New shape from layer and choose the pyramid shape at first but after that i change to sphere shape.

I change the image of the shadow on the ewallpaper from black colour to green colour and lastly to yellow colour.

I do also change the amount of shadows to 38% and amount of highlights to 2% after changing the color of the shadow again.

After adding all the selected raw materials on the wallpaper, i feel like my current wallpaper is not so suitable with the wallpaer as my raw materials is all about planet, so  i decided to change to another wallpaper that is more like dark sky. And i do also did some adjustments for the color balance.

Besides that again i change my 3D image into cube as i found out there is a bit too much sphere image.

This is my final ewallpaper for retouching part...

Layering

First of all, I would like to write about what had i select for my background.
I did not know how to use other image as the background of the wallpaper,

so i ended up using what is given in the adobe photoshop cs4.
I choose it from the filter, then render and select the cloud mood.
Then after that i open back the selection file that i did last week,
i move the shadow image onto the background layer,
then i name the black shadow layer as shadow

After that i choose and did another selection for the MMU logo
as what i had did for the selection last week had some error,
so i decided to do another selection.

and i name the layer as MMU logo, so that it is easy to recognize.
The next step is i select the FOM building and put onto the background layer,
i adjust the size of the building selection to fit the wallpaper.
I did duplicate the building laye, adjust it into blend mode, overlay and the capacity change to 80

Now i would like to write the " Multimedia University" word onto the background.
I choose Frankin Gothic Demi Cond as my font.

After that, i insert another image onto the background
i write some information about the FOM open day.

I did also do some adjustment by rotating it.
This is my final image for layering,
although it is not so good as others,
but i had did my best and will work harder on it.
