Default leaves
i took this photo of leaves in our front yard. i did a little pp on the background because there too many cracks on the wall. in the other photo, i selected the leaves and put it on another layer and on the original layer, i used the rubber stamp tool to erase the original leaf. then i went to the leaf layer and used distort, shear to bend the stalk and with free transform, i arranged the leaves' position, flattened and saved.

Q: why would you flatten? Why not just save as .jpg?
