Photoshop Notes

 To get an image on to another image, select the whole image, use the move tool and put it on the other image. Crl + T is to transform the image or shape of it. Zoom out if you can not see the handles to indicate a transform. Hold shift while using transform to make the transform equal. To finish tranforming the image, press enter. The shortcut to make your brush small/big, use square brackets. Use the hard brush for hard objects like a car. To blend in something use a soft brush with low opasity.
