I used some actions that I downloaded online to edit these pictures. It was pretty easy and kind of fun to watch the pictures change after just a click of a button.
I found some photo's on photobucket and I edited them a little by selecting an area with the eliptical marque tool and then inverses the selection to blur out the background. I also added some contrast and saturation to the main focus of the pictures.
This week I used some of my drawings to practice the color replacement technique. I added a background as well to both of my pictures just to give them a nice finished look.
