Learning to combine images

Today we learnt how to combine the parts of each image to create a new image.  In the next photo we selected the building and erase the sky.  Then we created a new layer containing another image with the sky we wanted.  We moved the sky around to position it and erased a building that we didn’t want.

In a second exercise we were given the image of a night sky and lots of photos of balls and planets.  Using the techniques learnt in the above exercise and previous classes we selected ‘planets’ and placed them in the night sky.  This involved feathering edges were appropriate, scaling, transforming, and changing opacity etc of layers.
