Hands Collage

For this assignment, we took pictures of our own of people's hands to make a collage out of. I got one picture with a couple holding hands, and centered my piece on this image. I then took pictures of different types of hands to make it a bit unique (with rings, bracelets, scars, wrinkles, etc.). When cutting out the background of all the hand imaged, I learned a new technique: the layer mask. When using the layer mask, if you mess up you don't have to start all over with a new image, but can just put a new mask on. This new tool was very useful. I desaturated the hands around my main image and kept the couple in color so one's eye gets drawn to the center.
