For my Essence photo, I had to use a picture of myself and my two closet friends from high school since friendship is an important thing in my life. To start off, I decided to use the Dry Brush effect on the photo to give it a different look. Then I used the Black and White option to change the photo and make it look like an older, treasured photo. I changed the Brightness and Contrast of the photo so that our faces were a bit more lite up. Lastly, I added my favorite quote and left it in color so that it would really pop out.
