I used the Polygonal Lasso Tool to select the fish so I could delete it from my background. This is a very basic form of selecting which is quick and easy, but won’t be very accurate.To delete the fish and not leave a gap in my work i changed the contents to Content-Aware so it would take in its surroundings and fill it with the same colours to make it look more natural.The Spot Healing Tool also as the same effect but just on a smaller scale and is for my specific things like blemishes and imperfections in the image.To edit your photo to the correct filter you want go Image>Adjustments>Curves to get the right brightness and darkness, shadows and highlights which you are wanting to enhance your photo.I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to select me from my original image and deleted the background. The Magnetic Lasso clings to prominent outlines and guesses what you are wanting to outline to make it easier for you to select specific things. I then added a layer and placed a new photo of a field on it. I then placed this new layer below the layer with me on so I would appear over the field image.This is the Eraser Tool, I used it to remove stray hairs and other bits of background from my image of me. This helped me blend more into my new background therefore making it look more real rather than just being cropped in.The Burn Tool is used to realistically darken specific chosen parts of your image by slightly darkening the original hue. I used this tool to make me look more tanned, to add some realistic shadowing and to darken the background and bottom of my image to suggest that the photo was taken on flash.
