Editing Contents Page Pictures

I edited this photograph of my cover star for my contents page by using the magic eraser tool and the eraser tool to remove the background

I then went around the edges with the blur tool to make it appear more seamless, and to give it a less harsh edge.

I edited this picture in the same way so I could layer this picture over a background. I used the magnetic lasso tool on some of this picture as the edges contrasted well with the background.
