I've heard about adobe photoshop but I did not bother about the usage and the importance of it. But for this task, I used this software to edit my picture. Wau, it is not easy as I think. It needs patience and concentration in completing my task. However, I managed to complete my work but it is not quite creative and beautiful but I appreciate my own work. Hehe..
