Creative Transformations: Maximus the Laziest St. Bernard and EPCOT Adventures
This project features stunning edited images, including Maximus, the laziest St. Bernard on Earth, showcasing skillful use of tools like the lasso, content-aware, and bandage for a polished finish. The vibrant edit of Max’s tongue and the adjustments to saturation enhance his playful nature. The transformation of EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth emphasizes the beauty of the setting while selectively removing guests to focus on the experience. Additionally, we spotlight a Ram 2500 at an auto auction, where meticulous attention to color saturation and window tinting brings the vehicle to life against a vivid blue sky.

This is the original image of Maximus, the laziest St. Bernard on Earth
I used the lasso tool to select the tennis ball and the leash, then selected content aware to remove the objects from the picture. I had to select small portions of the leash or else content aware made the grass appear blurry. I then took the bandage tool and used it to remove the white patches of saliva from Max’s tongue. I finished the image by increasing the saturation of the colors by 31%.
I selected parts of the sidewalk and used the free transform tool to stretch out the sidewalk over the guests walking in the bottom right. I then used the lasso and content aware tools to remove the remained of the guests except for the man in the blue-striped shirt. I selected all of the yellow flowers and increased their saturation by 100%. To finish the image, I adjusted the hue slightly, followed by a 40% increase in saturation.
This is a picture of a Ram 2500 megacabturbodiesel at Manheim’s Atlanta auto auction. Following the taking of this picture was a 24 hour journey back up to Chicago.
I used the magic wand tool and the sponge tool to saturate only the red paint on the car to a much more vibrant red. I used the magic wand and burn tool to tint the windows to a darker color. I finished editing the image by using the fill bucket to color the sky blue instead of a cloudy white.
