14a & b Displacement

         For this task we are going to create a painted effect look to our selfie by overlaying an image distorted with a Displacement Map. First we open up a Flag that we selected from google, in this case i used the US Flag. Then we can start changing blending mode to hard light, desaturate it, and filter with Gaussian Blur. For the next part we require the use of Displace filter. The Displace filter is one of several Photoshop filters that require the use of a displacement map, which works like a texture map, placing the image over a grid that creates a textured look. So by using this filter we can place the flag texture over our selfie to create a dramatic effect to our image.                   Save As .PSD & .JPG
