Let's get started on lesson one!
What will I need?
You will need a Photoshop program. Photoshop is a great editing program! You will also need a unique background picture and a nice, good quality picture.
When do I turn in the lesson?
You will need to turn it in on Febuary 23.
Now let's start editing!
Now that you have your background .. (Hint; Choose a background that isn't TOO crazy, yet to your liking. It can be too distracting sometimes and make you mess up.) And your good quality picture saved to your computer.. (Hint; Start with an animal for your first, preferably a dog or horse. It makes it easier because they aren't so detailed. For advanced students, try using a chicken, turkey, or person.) ...Get started!
*Open up your background picture.
*Add a layer.
*Open up your foreground picture.
*Use the lasso tool around the main animal/person of your foreground picture.
*Put your mouse on the animal/person. (DO NOT click)
*Copy it.
*Go over to your background picture.
*Paste the animal/person to the background picture.
*Zoom in.
*Use eraser tool carefully around the edges, until the new background picture looks like it belongs behind the animal/person.
*And your done! Just save it to your computer and post it here!
This is what I came up with!
See how I moved the eraser carefully along the dog? Also don't forget to add some text or other awesome stuff to make your picture great! (OPTIONAL)
