Editing Abe

For the Editing Abe Project, we basically used all of our skills to enhance an image of Abraham Lincoln. The tools and techniques that I found most useful were the adjustment layers, healing brush, the clone stamp tool, liquify and the burn tool. First of all, we started with a picture of Abe and liquified it to form another facial/body structure. Then after we liquified it, I used adjustment layers and masks to add some colors and modify the brightness/contrast. After spending quite a while on coloring the image, I had to get rid of the scratches and marks on the image by using the healing brush tool and the clone stamp tool. Basically, I used the clone stamp tool on places where the healing brush wasn't working well and afterwards, I used the healing brush to finish the spot. Finally, after seeing that nearly all of the marks on the image were fixed, I added some finishing touches, like burning parts of Abe's face and adding color to his eyes.
