1. KEEP EDITS REALISTIC

Smart Object: “I converted the image into

a Smart Object just in case I wanted to amend it later and used the Puppet Warp

tool to bend the tree as much as I wanted. I also increased the Expansion to keep the

tree’s features sharp”

Effective mud: “To create the look of

effective mud, I put mud on a white background, then placed the image over

the wheel, changing the blending mode to Multiply. I also bent it using the Warp tool

to make it bend around the wheel”

Hue/Saturation: “The original colour of

the grass was a rich green. To change this I used a Hue/Saturation layer focusing on

the green, but also selectively added in more greens to get a bigger range. To do

this I adjusted the white bars”
