Google Day #3

3 Goals
-Download a newer version of Photoshop onto the computer
-Learn how to put objects or people into other images
-I also want to learn how to change the color of images
Links
This website allowed my to download the new adobe Photoshop for free! I did take quite a while though, but other than that there wasn't any major problems while downloading it.
This video taught me how to make a person/object appear in another image, I had a hard time learning to do this because it requires a lot of attention to detail. Also there was a problem with my photoshop and unfortunately the images I made were lost.
Evidence
Unfortunately the images I made were lost because the program shut down towards the end of class.
But, I did do a picture of my cousin maria and changed her eyes red and here hair blue which was pretty entertaining  Also since she idolizes a soccer player named Sergio Ramos I put her in the same picture with him and it actually looked realistic even if she had blue hair! It took me a long time since I kept messing up do tu being unpatient but, after lots of trys and redo's I finally got it right\. I would like  to create an even better one next class!
Next Class
Next class I really want to work a little bit more on putting objects in other images becasue I find it really cool! I would like to maybe be able to do it more quickly and not have the same time consuming problems I did this time. I also want to learn how to put somebody's face in someone else's face or put someone's face in someone else's body.

Links With Description of why they are useful to your goals
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aMbMk9IGoM This link is connor corsby who explains how to crop images and put them in a different backround I really liked it because he compares two tools on how to do it and shares his opinion. I found it sort of difficult to use though, because he was using a different type of photoshop.
2.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG5EY8ZaFj4
This link teaches how to put an already cropped foto with/in another foto or another back rpund I liked it because the person who taught me (stevie) actually did this for a living, also he showed in a very simple and user friendly manner.
Evidence of what I learned/learned to do and a description of new knowledge or skills
The first photo is the original and the second is the one I edited

The last photo is on another blog post because there was a problem with the program.
Description: 
I had so much fun this class making people in photos with other people or blocking people out it was very time consuming and you really need to pay attention to detail but, once you get the hang of it its so much fun!
One thing I want to learn next Google day 
I really want to learn to be able to crop photos by using magic wand since it is more difficult. I also want to change the background of original photos
