We started off with learning how to use Adobe Photoshop for our first day of Digital Photography and Imaging class. Our lecturer, Mr. Hafiz, gave us an exercise. The task was to insert a picture of a person into a picture of a mansion that was given to us. Throughout this exercise, we learnt some of the basic shortcut keys in Photoshop. This exercise was actually pretty simple for me.

After the 'haunted house' exercise, we move on to the next one. Which was recolouring an old picture or a portrait. For this, I chose Albert Einstein to be my subject.
