MERDEKA!

as i wrote before,

i'll be working for e-wallpaper with the theme of 'merdeka celebration'

so this is my working so far :)

 this is 'tugu negara' or  malaysia national monument

i crop out the background using magic wand and for certain tough part i used polygon lasso tools

and then used eraser to fix it to look more natural.

oh

before that i make a new layer,

so it will be more easier to erase the background

(i think so)

part that i highlighted is the tool that i used to crop the background

this is how it look 

after this part, i used polygon lasso tools because for me it is more easier

(its REALLY depends on people)

part that i highlighted is where i used magic wand to crop it out

this is how it will look alike

now i'm working on another picture,

and also i want to remove the backgroun

so i used quite the same technique

and then i use exposure to make it look good

then i play around using vibrance

third picture,

after i cropped out the backgroun

used hue and saturation

i place the sultan abdul samad building infront of the sky picture

i try to find strategic part to placed KLCC

i placed national monument in the front, followed by KLCC 

and then behind KLCC i placed malaysian flag

the final placed i choose to placed it

and this is the FINAL touch

i used invert

this is how it look

this is not final yet,
because i want to retouch this picture and apply some opacity
