Magic Wand:
Refine Edge
I used Refine Edge to enhance the details of selected objects, providing a polished look. Puppet Warp is applied to a single layer, allowing fine adjustments to the position of the image within the collage, enhancing the overall composition.
To enhance specific elements, I used the Quick Selection tool, and refined edges using the negative and positive buttons. This allowed for better control over definition, ensuring a natural, blended look as you see on the right. |

Incorporating previously learned concepts, such as the Magic Wand and Refine Edge tools, demonstrated the practical application of basic knowledge. My favorite part was the Magic Wand stage, where I combined images
