Week 5: Photoshop Layers

Today in class we had our portrait critique. Y'all did great! I'm really excited to be working with everyone this semester.

We did a photoshop tutorial today in class, on how to make a Mirrored Portrait Triptych. Per my usual self, I made everything WAY more complicated than it needed to be.

So I have redone the tutorial, and made it much, much simpler to follow and to execute.
