Ruben Esparza's Photoshop Collage

spurs
In the first collage I used tools and layer style effects. With the eraser tool I cleaned up the edges of the images Tim, Tony, and Ginobe. I then took the clone stamp tool to fill in missing areas from the copy and paste. I used the sharpening tool mostly on Tony Parker because that was the smallest image of the three. I used the sponge tool to bring out the orange on the basketballs. I placed a drop shadow under the spurs logo and text. I used drop shadow under the text and a white stroke effect. Finally, I placed an outer glow around the trophies.

I used similar effects from the first collage on the second one. The eraser tool and the clone stamp tool allowed me to clean up the images of Witten, Barber, and Ware. I placed an outer glow on the players in order to copy the lightening image in the background. I used the bevel and emboss effect on the star and cut it with a refined edge from background giving it the faded effect. The text has a white stroke and each player was given some sharpening and sponging.
