Samacha's Special Project

stars
For this collage to get the final product I did a couple of things.  First I added a blur affect to create a softer less sharp image.  I also erased excess background from the two main images and added some more stars to the background with the clone stamp tool.  After that I just did a few more minor adjustments like sharpen, and used the stylize (wind) effect. I used Stonehenge for the text.

For this collage I also started out with the blur tool to give the overall picture a softer look.  Next I used the dodge tool.  I also used the pixelate filter along with the styize(wind) effect.  The text I used for this was Senator.
