1. Describe how the Oil Paint filter and High Pass filter, used in combination, transform a photograph into an image resembling a retro movie poster.
2. Explain how adjusting the blending modes of different layers (e.g., Linear Light, Overlay, Vivid Light, Soft Light) contributes to the final airbrushed effect. Why is blending mode manipulation important?
3. You want to create a sci-fi movie poster. Describe how you could adapt at least three of the Photoshop effects demonstrated in the video to achieve a futuristic or otherworldly aesthetic, rather than a retro one.
