This project helped to teach me about using photoshop and how to use photoshop to paste images together.  Some of the challenges I had was not knowing what tool to use to create a certain look.  I also had trouble being neat and careful around the images as I was using the eraser tool.  I fixed these by starting over when I needed to and experimenting with all the different buttons. Some of the successes were learning about the different tools. I also was able to create an image that looks neatly erased.
