More editing....

Well, this is another editing I've done to my wallpaper which involve cropping...let's begin~

First step, I open up the file which I last save my wallpaper I did in the previous post.
Then I place a picture of a snowman into the file.

File> Place> Picture

Next, I open up a new layer and rename it. Then I click the Quick Selection Tool to remove the unwanted space around the snowman. But before that, I rasterize the layer first (Right-click layer> rasterize layer)

After that, I use the eraser tool to remove the extra bits that still appear around the snowman.

The next step, I use the Blur tool to blur the snowman to hide any rough edges around it. Of course, I open up a new layer for this as well.

Adjust the Blur tool brush diameter to 35 and strength to 30%

Next, I want to change the tone and color of the snowman so that it blends more with the background. So, first I open another layer for this (remember to always rename your layer so you will not be confuse later on). Then I go to Image> Adjustments> Levels( Ctrl+L)/ Color Balance(Ctrl+ B).

I wanted to add more effect to the snowman so I add a shadow behind it by right-clicking the color balance layer and click Blending Options then tick Drop Shadow box.

Here's the final outcome... :)
