Photo Editing #1: Veggie Head

Today we will explore some of the basic graphics tools and concepts, and then we will begin our first official graphics project -- the Veggie Head.  The Veggie Head project is a classic Photoshop tutorial which teaches you how to use a variety of tools and techniques to accomplish a seemingly easy task.
The task for today:
  1. Right-click the image above and select "Copy Image" (or "Copy Picture" depending on your browser)
  2. Open Adobe Photoshop or Pixlr (https://pixlr.com/editor/)
  3. Go to FILE > NEW (notice the size of the new image is the same size as the image on your "clipboard")
  4. Go to EDIT > PASTE (you should now have two layers -- the veggies and a white background)
  5. Your task is to take the various pieces, copy them, paste them, and clean them up to create a "Veggie Head".  Some examples can be seen below:
