For this project I mainly used the curve tool to adjust the brightness and contrast of the photos. I also used the crop tool for some of the photos. I had little to no complications with this project, I thinkI did well on this. I used my back yard for the majority of these photos and I used a few from when I was at school.

Using the quick select tool worked pretty well. I did make a couple mistakes when I was selecting, but those were easy fixes. I think the most challenging thing was changing the colors, but once I got the hang of it it was easier. Something I might do different next time would probably be setting up the pictures in a different pattern. I used the quick select tool, move tool, gradient map feature, and the layer merge tool. All of which work pretty well once I got the hang of it.

The tools I used for this project were; Clone Stamp, Duplicate layers, Eraser, and Transition tools. A few complications I had were when I was trying to clone Kate's face and it wouldn't show up where I was clicking, and then I realized I had to move the layer in order to see her on the original photo. That was a minor set back but in the end I thought I did pretty good in swapping their faces.
