Creating Your Own Project
We will begin by opening a photograph in Photoshop Elements. We'll learn how to use some of the different selection tools to copy parts of the image to different layers. Then, working with copies of the flower on separate layers, we'll apply filters and change the colors to create some pop-art in the style of Andy Warhol.
