tutorial

The tutorial that I chose to follow was found on this website:

http://www.photoshopstar.com/photo-effects/landscape-change-effect/

This tutorial took a landscape picture and changed some of the colors while also creating an image of pages in a book. In order to get the look of the first image I had to copy the background layer and take the visibility off the original layer. To the new layer I changed the brightness, contrast, and saturation to create a difference from the image in front of it. Then to get to the second picture I made the original layer visible again and I used the rectangle marquee tool. With this tool I warped one half of the page to make it appear like a book. Then I did the same thing to the other side of the picture so now you can see the layer that I changed emerge. The last screenshot shows my final project, which was the hardest part. In order to create a more dramatic change and depth between the two pictures I had to use the dodge and burn tools to darken the edges and lighten the flaps. This was so difficult because it looked very unnatural to me at first but when I kept doing it I saw the similarity to the tutorial.
