Photoshop workshop 2

Today we have looked at organizing and presenting images sequentially, we used the photos we took last week. Firstly we opened up a new file in photoshop

I then changed the page to landscape
Once I was happy with the page size I opened up the images I wanted to use on the page
They opened on a separate tab, from there I just dragged and dropped the images onto my empty page

When they were on the empty page they were bigger than I wanted, to fix this I clicked the move tool
I then clicked the corner whilst holding the shift key, that way it wouldn't move into a shape I wouldn't want. Once the three images were close to being the same size I opened up the grid so I could line up and check to see if the images were exactly the same size
After some time getting the sizes right
Once I was happy with how it looked on the page I looked at adding a border, to do this I clicked on edit on the top bar and went down to stroke

clicking on stroke brings up this menu
on here I could change the width and color of the border, I didn't like the border though so to delete it I went to the history bar at the side

 and deleted the border from here.
I then wanted to change the color of the background, to do this I click on the background layer, so that I didn't paint any of my pictures, then I clicked paint bucket tool
from there I could select the color I wanted for the background.
Here is the finished image
