For this picture, I used the solid color option and used the blending mode "Difference" to make the center of the flower teal. I then used a gradient map, and used the blending mode "Overlay" to make the background more interesting.

This is the original photo. My original idea was to color all the pedals different color, but decided it looked too cheesy.  

 This was taken from the 7-train in Brooklyn. The roof of the subway got in the picture so I used the Clone and Patch tool again to fix it. 

                   "EH Welcome to Brooklyn!" is something stupid my friends and I say. For some reason my buddies in VT find it hilarious to say it after they make a hoop in basketball. I ran out of ideas so I just threw it in there. Anyway, I wanted to do something different with this photo so I used the filter "Glowing Edges." At first I had trouble getting the letters to be big enough, but then realized I just had to re-size the photo to be smaller.

Clone and Patch Assignment.

 I already used this photo once, but I really hated the rusty trash can in the bottom right corner so I figured it be a perfect opportunity to use the clone and patch tool. 

I used mostly the patch tool for this assignment. It was extremely easy. For some reason after I patched it, the area was noticeably dark so I used the clone tool and made it look normal.  

For this photo I used the filter "Water Paper". I like the edited photo better. It added a lot more detail and  sharpened the colors.  I took this shot several times and played around with F-stops until I could get the background blurred.

 

For this filter I used the "Lens Flare"  which made the photo a lot more interesting I think. I kind of wanted to go for a safari theme since that's what the first photo reminded me of. The lens flare worked well I think. As for filtering it was super easy to learn and understand.
