self portrait brick wall

original photo 

photoshopped image 

For this exercise we had to take our picture and change the background to the brick wall. To do that you have to make a layer mask and then you are able to paint over the green shown in the original picture. once you get rid of all the green then we added the layer that had just the plain brick wall we were then able to make any adjustments needed to make the background look like it wasn't photoshopped. to help get rid of the green glow i used curves and levels, then i used the healing tool to get rid of any unwanted blemishes.
