Learning To Use Photoshop

In the first few lessons of the course we learned how to use the basic principles of photoshop, then were left to explore all the tools that photoshop has to offer. The first thing we worked on was the use of layers, adding images and effects together to create a new, more complex image. I found this very straight forward because I have expirience in photoshop outside of school. i created this image by starting with an image of a forest then adding new layers and blending them together.
