Re-sized "In Class" Assignment

This is the image I created using the skills that we learned in class last week. I re-sized the images and pasted them into a new document of the proper size. Using the ruler tool, I was able to place them evenly on the new canvas. Once placed, I messed around with options in the "Layer Style" and Image>Adjustments. For this finished effect I used a Drop Shadow, Stroke, and different Hue/Saturation and Brightness/Contrast options. There were many other options, of course, that I did not use here. These skills are important to know because it's pretty basic ways to change the image that will likely be used often. Having to re-size an image or adjust settings (not necessarily to this extreme) is something people are looking to do all the time -- even with photos that they take on their phone. Also, the skills we have learned so far are not just things that are commonly used. We have options to give the photo a little something extra such as the Drop Shadow that created a sort of pop effect on each photo. These are things that will be important to making your work stand out as something impressive and unique.
