My E-Wallpaper.

This is a process on how I did my e-wallpaper. I may edit it a little more later.


1. I opened my workspace as shown above. The size in A4, but in landscape form. The resolution is 300 ppi. I named the file as Assignment 1 (1102701011).


2. I opened a picture taken from Google as shown above, and selected the Christmas tree using the Quick Selection tool.


3. I right-clicked and selected the 'select inverse' option, and used the Blur tool to blur the selected area.


4. I clicked the 'select inverse' option again to go back to the Christmas tree. Then I opened the
Filter Gallery, and selected the Paint Daubs filter.


5. I reselected the background again and opened the Filter Gallery too. This time I used the Watercolor filter. I did this so that more emphasis is put on the Christmas tree rather than the whole picture.

6. I selected the whole image, and dragged it to my workspace as shown above, and made it fill up the workspace. I then renamed the layer as back.


7. I opened another image as shown above, and selected it using the Quick Selection tool. I dragged the selected image back to my workspace, resized it, and made two other copies and arranging them in the order as shown above. I named the layer as snowflake.


7. I opened another image, selected it using the Quick Selection tool, dragged it back to my workspace, resized it, made another copy, and arranged it as shown above. I then merged the two layers with the snowflake layer and renamed it as snowflake & mistletoe.


8. I opened another image, selected it using the Quick Selection tool, dragged it back to my workspace, resized it, and arranged it using the Flip Horizontally option as shown above.


9. I opened the Filter Gallery and selected the Smudge Stick filter. Next, I opened the Blending Options, and selected the Inner and Outer Glow options, as I wanted to highlight the carolers.


10. I opened another image, selected it using the Quick Selection tool, dragged it back to my workspace, resized it, and arranged it as shown above. I renamed the layer as santa claus.


11. I opened another image, selected it using the Quick Selection tool, dragged it back to my workspace, resized it, and arranged it as shown above. I renamed the layer as presents. Then I opened the Filter Gallery and selected the Smudge Stick filter.


12. I opened another image, selected it using the Quick Selection tool, dragged it back to my workspace, resized it, and arranged it as shown above. I renamed the layer as santa sleigh moon. I even changed the opacity to 72% just to see whether it fits, and I opened the Blending Options, and selected and adjusted the Inner and Outer Glow options as shown above.


13. In the end, I changed the opacity back to 100% as it is more suitable. I then used the Horizontal Type tool to type the words Season's Greetings. I used a downloaded font, ChopinScript and the size of the font is 100pt. Then I opened the Blending Options, and selected and adjusted the Drop Shadow, Outer Glow and Bevel and Emboss- Contour options as shown above.


14. Here is the wallpaper, presented in JPEG form.
