 * This is a picture of MAX. Your assignment is to dress MAX using your previous knowledge of Photoshop. Each time you open a new file with a new piece of clothing you must create a new layer for that item. Use whatever selection tools you know how to place the items on MAX. (Name each layer accordingly) Below are the individual files you will need. Make sure to save each file on the H:drive first. These are TIF files so you need to save a copy of each file on H:Drive. **
