Professional Blog Post: Beebe Mountain

Beebe Mountain

Process

The first step to create this mountain was to complete the floating mountain tutorial, and then I added two additional elements. I added a planet in the top left corner, and then I put a unicorn on top of the mountain. 

Experience Gained

 I learned how to take sections of images out of a picture and put it into another one. In order to make it look like they go together, you have to use the refine edge tool to get rid of the background that might be around the object. I also used the content aware tool to block out some text that was in the sky. I worked a lot with layers in order to make the mountain look like it was floating, and I used layer masks to make the bottom of the mountain look more realistic. I used hue and saturation to make the mountain look like it was actually in the sky, I gave it more blue hues than brown hues, I also used hues when I added the planet and unicorn. 

For the Future

I expanded my knowledge of Photoshop, and I will use the tools and filters that I leaned how to use on future projects. If I were to do this project again, I would add something to the mountain instead of a unicorn. I would like to add a house or a building to the mountain to make it look like people live on it. I would still put the planet in the corner, because I think it looks really good, and it looks like it belongs in the sky. I will definitely use the layer masks and hue and saturation tools in the future to make everything blend together and make it look natural. 

Reflection

I really like this tutorial because I learned a lot of useful skills and I think it looks really cool. I would have probably picked a different mountain so that more things would fit on it. I think the end product looks really cool and I am glad that I learned more skills to use in Photoshop.
