          This is my reflection journal for lab number 19 which was to use the feather tool in Photoshop CS6. The object of this lab is to learn how to use the feather tool and learn its concept. I pick a picture of a boat and I duplicate the boat picture 3 more times. I used the feather tool to cover up or fix up the edges in the picture and that will make the image look more smother and will take away the edges. This lab took me about 1 day to do and I learned how to use it . This was challenging at first but later on it was easy for me to use
