I took a handful of some of the best photos from my Anthropocene photoshoot and edited them. I did all sorts of edits to these photos to make them look more interesting and better and I like the finished products.
Stephanie Jung:
I edited some of my photos to mimic Stephanie Jung’s editing style. I took one image and lowered the opacity, then I duplicated the layer multiple times and moved each one slightly to make the distorted effect. Each edited photo will be compared to the original.
Method used:
Highlight the object you want to distort, right click and press “Layer via copy”.
Lower the opacity of the new layer to whatever you want.
Move that new layer slightly and clone that layer to move it somewhere else again, repeat.

Kaleidoscope:
I decided to play with the mirroring function on Photoshop and made a weird but interesting amalgamation of a single photo, I think they look pretty cool.
Method Used:
Get the photo you want to edit (a photo with an object being clipped off from the side of the frame is recommended) go to the Image tab and click “Canvas size”.
Next you want to look at the number in the Width section and double that number, make sure its in centimetres.
Because my object is trailing off the left side, I will press the middle right arrow on the grid. The red box below is the colour the canvas will be, you can change it.
Press enter and the canvas will spawn, then highlight the side that has the photo and layer via copy
Grab the new layer, horizontally flip it and move it aside. Flatten the layers and go back to the canvas menu to double the height number. Clone the two images and turn them upside down, then move them underneath.
Results:
Black and White:
I turned some of the photos black and white and they look pretty nice.
Random Edits:
As the title implies, I was editing these images with no exact plan in my head and I was just making things up, and some of these actually turned out alright.
