REFLECTION

This task taught me about using the Masking Layer to separate different areas in an image, the Quick Selection Tool too select areas in an image and different blending modes to help blend colours to an image. I had fun as I liked colouring the pictures. It has also taught me more about Adobe Photoshop.
