Monday-Wednesday
====*Checking in the Beach image from last week, many of you have the concepts down but are not taking the time to get the details down. You need to make sure to spend the time to move the backgrounds, select the image so it is perfect and put the image together so it looks like one photograph and not like a copy and paste project that was thrown together. TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.**====

~Today you will begin your first solo project. Project 3 - Using Layers. This project uses PS to create a composite image from several photographs by using layers. You will start with a photo of a recently constructed house, and create a compositie image by inserting layers of flowers, bushes, trees, a statuary, and sod.

Step 1: Download the required files (remember if you right click on the link you can go to Save Link/Image as) and save them to your Graphic 2 folder in a new folder named HOUSE in your H:drive. (The flowerbed is a PSD file.)

Step 2: Open the House file in PS and save this as House_lastname.psd Step 3: Open the flowerbed.psd file. Move the flower bed into the house image. Create a new layer called Flowerbed. Adjust the location of the flower bed and size to reflect the final image. Step 4: Open the file flowers. Use a selection tool to select the the light and dark pink flowers with a little greenery. Avoid including the building behind the flowers. Use add/subtract if necessary. Move the flowers into place. Create a new layer called flowers Step 5: Open the file tree. Use the magic eraser tool, type 50 in the Tolerance box and check Anti-Alias. Remove the sky. Use the eraser tool to remove the grass. Move into place. Create a new layer called Tree Step 6: Open the file lion. Use the Magic wand to select and remove the white space from the lion. Move into place. Copy and move again. Create a new layer called Lion Step 7: Open the file bush. Remove the // __white and base of the bush__ // using a layer mask and move into place. Make a copy. Name it bush. Step 8: Open the file for sod. Before you begin you must change the color mode of the house image. Follow these steps. Click on Image>Mode>RGB. It will ask if you want to flatten the image - say NOT NOW. You are going to use the clone stamp tool to copy the sod to the house. Make sure to deselect the Aligned box on the option tool bar. Use Alt to select the sampling of the sod. Use short strokes from left to right to make the sod look real. There are other ways to do this but this is a suggestion! And since you are working on the back layer, it will be BEHIND things you have already done.
