Retouching of E-Wallpaper.

As I've said earlier, I may edit my e-wallpaper, and I choose to do so. This is my e-wallpaper retouching process:


1. For my 1st e-wallpaper, I made a mistake when choosing the filter for the Christmas tree, so I wanted to do it again. So once again, I used the Quick Selection tool to select the Christmas tree.


2. I then clicked on the select inverse option after right-clicking the selected image to select the so-called 'background', and used the Blur tool to blur the 'background'.


3. I selected the Christmas tree again to rectify my mistake: Instead of choosing the Ink Outlines filter I chose the Paint Daubs filter, which wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I went into the Filter Gallery and selected my preferred filter.


4. After that, i reselected my 'background' and used the Watercolor filter again.


5. I selected the whole image and dragged it back to my workspace as shown above.


6. I resized the image to cover up the entire workspace, then I deleted the previous layer back, and renamed the new layer back.


7. Next, I wanted to edit my mistletoes as I still can see some irregularities there. So, I selected the two mistletoe images, opened the Filter gallery and selected the Poster Edges filter, and used the Blur tool to blur them.


8. The moon was next for editing. I adjusted the Outer and Inner Glow options as shown above so that the moon can glow brighter.


9. I've also moved the words a little to the left so that the moon's glow isn't blocked.


10. I then realized that the resolution that I was using was wrong, so I went to the Image Size option and changed the resolution to 72 ppi. After that, some of my layers were a little out of the way. So, I had to adjust them again.


11. Firstly, adjusted my type layer as the Drop Shadow, Outer and Inner Glow, and Bevel & Emboss-Texture options went wrong. So, I adjusted them back again as shown above.


12. Next was the moon, for it's Outer Glow option had to be corrected, and so I did.


13. Lastly, the carolers' Outer Glow option was also wrong, so I corrected it as shown above.


14. I then wanted to create some sort of texture for the wallpaper, so I placed a selected image as shown above and named the layer as texture.


15. I toyed with the opacity and fill of the layer.


16. When I was satisfied with the opacity and the fill, I created a layer mask and used the Brush tool to remove part of the texture layer so that certain parts of the wallpaper can be seen, as shown above.


17. This is my finalized e-wallpaper.

  1. Custom size is not A4 size. You have to choose at the Preset: International Paper, then choose A4.

    I like the music but it's a little slow to come out music.
