How to Design the Sky with Photoshop ?

The sky commonly refers to everything that lies a certain distance above the surface of Earth, including the atmosphere and the rest of outer space.
During the day, the Sun can be seen in the sky, unless obscured by clouds. That what I had tried to draw in my design.

That is a Photo shop design for the blue sky ,shiny sun, and flying birds as I think of it.I added also some clouds .I do not like to add a frame just to be open like the sky giving us the feel of freedom, and deep breath .

The Nile River,and how to change the photo's background with Photoshop?

مصر هبة النيل : هيرودوت 

The Greek historian Herodotus wrote that "Egypt was the gift of the Nile" 

After Photoshop

The Nile one of is the longest 's rivers in the world, stretching north for approximately 4,000 miles from East Africa to the Mediterranean.

It had changed its  location and size gradually over millions of years according to the studies.

The Nile flows from the mountains in the south to the Mediterranean in the north.

The Nile has two major branches, the White Nile and Blue Nile. The latter is the source of most of the water and fertile soil,but The former is the longer. It runs from East Africa to upper Egypt and ends in a large delta that empties into the Mediterranean Sea, most of its length through Egypt.

 It had an important role in the development of Egyptian civilization.

The Nile is living in the hearts of the Egyptians .If you had been in Egypt you will see the Egyptians always going to the Nile if they feel sad ,angry, happy and also the lovers are going there in the open air smelling the flower' s smell and pure air .

Before Photoshop

You can also ride in a boat like the one of my picture.

Facts about the Nile River 

• Around 40 million people (half of Egypt’s population) live in the Nile Delta region. 
• In 1787, the famous Rosetta stone was found in the Nile Delta in the city of Rosetta. This Ancient Egyptian artifact played a key role in modern understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphics. 

I added my own touch to the picture of the Nile River

King Tut [ Tutankhamun ] How To Add A Frame To His Photo With Photoshop

I added new video for King Tut Teaser down please watch, thanks.

The original photo

The photo with frame 

Tutankhamun
was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (ruled c.1333 BC – 1323 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. His original name, Tutankhaten, means "Living Image of Aten", while Tutankhamun means "Living Image of Amun". In hieroglyphs the name Tutankhamun was typically written Amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence. He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the Amarna letters. He was likely the 18th dynasty king 'Rathotis' who, according to Manetho, an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years — a figure which conforms with Flavius Josephus's version of Manetho's Epitome.
 The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter of Tutankhamun's nearly intact tomb received worldwide press coverage. It sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun's burial mask remains the popular symbol. Exhibits of artifacts from his tomb have toured the world. In February 2010, the results of DNA tests confirmed that Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten  and his sister/wife , whose name is unknown but whose remains are positively identified as "The Younger Lady" mummy found .
